Beams!?
I love wooden beams and wonder if i could build them into a small victorian flat. Is this feasible? would it cost a fortune?

How old is this Reclaimed Beam?
Comments (34)This beautiful wood belongs to one of our favourite lines. These genuine antique boards are at times up to 300 years old. Sourced from barns, country homes and manors in France. This wood was sanded and oiled (Air Dried Hard Wax Oil). https://www.reclaimedflooringco.com/product/antique-reclaimed-french-oak-planks-sanded-clean/ The use of secret nails made this a difficult guess. However, many of you were really close. We hope you enjoyed playing with us. =)...See MoreHelp with beam on beam design

Comments (5)Sorry a bit late to comment but I would paint the beam the same as the ceiling. It will disappear more....See MoreBeam between rooms
Comments (14)Thanks so much for the helpful replies! It is wooden (hollow) and is and it looks the same in the room it leads to (visible on both sides). When I bought the house it was covered in a yellow gloss paint which I started removing, but i need to finish it – hence the odd mix of colours on it at the moment! I haven't reduced the size of the doorway (not to say it hasn't been reduced in the past) but I agree perhaps there were double doors there at one point. Excuse the bad photo, I just found this on my phone from a few days back mid-plaster. I had all the walls downstairs skimmed as they were covered with a textured plaster/artex type thing (both walls and ceiling!) Interesting re: the skylight and frieze, I hadn't thought of that! I guess I could just leave it as an unusual feature....See More

7 years agoHello Irina, wooden beams is a nice ceiling feature in the house or apartment as in your case. Just recently I had a project with wooden beams installation and there is no specific procedure, you just need a good contactor to do it for you. I'm agree with Man About The House - The DIY & Odd Job Handyman that you will need to consider your ceiling height because visually featuring beams bring ceiling down big time but again you can go for less bulky beam size. As for price - it will depend on what type of wood will you use. Basically, you don't have to go for solid wooden slabs. To bring price down, you can go for DIY option leaving beams hallow inside (check picture). After installation you can paint or stain it, up to your taste.
Good luck!
