False beams for the ceiling

The roof is one of the most neglected household surfaces, and is that we already have enough with the rest of the elements which are more in the view to having to also worry about it…

However, a ceiling decorated in a simple way can give a touch of elegance and distinctionto space: the case of the false beams of wood, a decorative element that will give any room a charming atmosphere.

The beams are those long and robust timbers used in the old houses as a basis to support and ensure the roof; to date, however, its use has been relegated to the decorative scope.

In fact, this is one of the preferred for rustic styles or for those more modern decorative elements who want to give a touch of warmth, familiarity and even old decoration.

Another major change from the old beams is material, and that if before they used to be wooden today prefer more modern materials such as plaster, the plasterboard, polyester, fiberglass, polyurethane, and even steel. These latter two are more cheap and more resistant to moisture, temperature changes and in general to the passage of time.

On the other hand, the false beams are also a solution ideal for covering cables and the imperfections of the ceiling in a very decorative way.

But not everything could be praise for this system, which also has its negative side: his installation isn’t exactly simple, so if you’re not a handyman you’ll need to ask for help from a professional.

So you go to report some of the girders fastening systems are adjustable clamps, the screws, bolts, or some special adhesives (beware, no good either!).
