Beams

8 years ago

Hello, are the ceiling beams rough sawn or reclaimed wood? What kind of wood are they? Would you be able to share the stain color? Thank you.

Hello, I'm afraid we can't help you on this detail, they appear to be rough sawn wood, depending on where you are in the country you could try http://www.carvalo.co.uk/

POLL: Exposed beams or painted beams?

I chose other because I think it depends on the building. Both photos above (and Victoria Harrison's with her post) are gorgeous and building appropriate - is there anything worse than exposed beams in the wrong setting? Maybe painted ones in the wrong setting, lol! Either way, in the wrong setting exposed or painted beams send the wrong message.

Best to ask your structural engineer if there is a way to support this in timber rather than steel. They can do the calcs for you. Ask them too how much the door would need to reduce to create sufficient brickwork to rest on, and if there are any other options. If its just a case of reducing the width to each side by about 150mm of brickwork and that saves you the whole steel across the top of the back wall then potentially that would be a compromise that's worth doing to protect your budget. Only you can decide what compromises are worth making. The only person able to check the calcs and put forward an alternative are your structural engineer along with your architect. They should be coordinating the design between them and explaining your options so that you can make an informed decision. If they're not able to do that then change them. If you're working with professionals and still find yourself seeking the advice of strangers on the internet then they are not doing their job well enough and you don't have to stick with them.

The letting agent painted your house? Sounds bizarre. Anyway, yes you could paint the beams pale grey or taupe to lighten it up. Lots of people do.
