Imitation of wooden beams

Natural Tree today - expensive pleasure, and massive structures from natural material Very heavy. They create an additional burden on the foundation and walls, there are problems with installation and delivery due to impressive weight. Besides high humidity They can "stories".

Building materials suggested a convenient budget alternative from polymeric materials. Hollow inside the Falc-beams for design are not inferior to products made of natural wood, which have to expose for several months to reduce humidity.

The advantages of polymer decorative beams on the ceiling:

• moisture resistance;
• fire resistance;
• attractive price;
• relatively low weight;
• large selection of textures and shades.

For strength and some other indicators, decorative beams even exceed the tree.

P-shaped false beams - the best way Hide communications in a bath or sauna, in residential premises in the style of Loft, Country or in the buildings of a classic type.

Natural wood preferred in homes from natural environmentally friendly materials. The fact is that when in the house is all of the tree, it equally reacts to the temperature differences or the change of humidity indicators - "breathes".

We offer video about independent installation of decorative beams.

Video: Installation of decorative beams

There are many beautiful ceiling design techniques, one of which is undoubtedly the beams. Made of metal or wood, beams can be part of the supporting structure, but also, the ceiling is often decorated with decorative elements from polyurethane, plywood and drywall, stylized under natural wood.

It is worth noting that for those who strive to create a unique atmosphere in their home, ceiling beams can help significantly in this. Although before installing them, such nuances should be taken into account as the height and volume of the room, because in a small room there is clearly superfluous.

Solving decorative beams, it is important to consider in advance what the ceiling will be lit, since it will be harder and lower. It is this question that we will solve this article on the fact that today it will be useful and timely for our respected readers.

Rule 1: Lights should be a lot

Space, ceilings in which decorated decorative beams, a priori cannot be close and low. By the poet if you use such elements at the top of the room, it means that the room is distinguished by considerable height and volume. In turn, a large room involves the use of high-quality and very abundant lighting in all major functional zones. And the ceiling decorated with decorative beams only emphasizes this need.

So, first of all, you should take care of the presence of not only the upper foul light (chandeliers, sobs or spotlights, suspensions), but also provide additional (shed on the walls, table lamps, lamps).

Remember, a large room with ceilings decorated with wooden beams (decorative or carrificies) should literally drown in bright warm light.

Rule 2: The main thing is easy

Ceiling beams are spectacular independent method Decorating the ceiling and premises, in general. Such elements immediately attract attention, competing with less accent objects.

So, precisely because of its catch, the beams are better to highlight the devices devoid of all sorts of excesses. For example, an excellent view of the lighting devices, in this case, there will be sides (spotlights), spotlights, diode tape, lightweight suspensions on cords, lightweight chandeliers.

In some cases, when the ceiling beams are the bearing elements in a high room, chandeliers with suspensions in two or three tiers can be appropriate. But, nevertheless, even here you should not be drought too much, but to know the measure.

Rule 3: It is important to minimize the shadows

Interestingly, but the more often the beams are located on the ceiling, for example, rhythmically in retirement, or in the form of caissons (crosswise), the greater the number of lamps you will need to highlight the ceiling.

The thing is that the beams are discarded on its surface not the necessary shadows, therefore, the ceiling visually becomes darker, the space takes.

It follows that the correct amount of lighting devices alternating with decorative beams will help to visually maintain the real height of the room, as well as to form a peculiar beautiful rhythm of the beam ceiling.

Rule 4: Need to bring light closer

By installing point lights around the perimeter of the ceiling with beams, you will definitely do it correctly, because it will become easier and lighter. At the same time, high qualityly highlight a certain zone (working in the kitchen or sofa in the living room) can only be used using instruments of directional light.

For example, for additional backlight indoors with a beam ceiling, you can use the functional suspended lampsBy installing them in the cooking zone or dining room. With long cords, the height of the devices is conveniently adjusted, so the necessary functional area will receive enough light.

Rule 5: Uniformly distribute the lighting

The ceiling, decorated with beams, carries with me a visual load and makes the room with darker, which does not leave doubt. Therefore, even if the dimensions are significant, and there are many big windowsThe beams should be highlighted around the ceiling perimeter equally. This does not mean that you will have to make additional holes for point lamps, or in four corners of the room, set the chandelier, but to use guides or strokes with satellum (spotlights) will be appropriate.

As a result, the impression is as if flickering stars depended in the thick powerful branches of the tree, which is unusually beautiful.

Final Stage overhaul or any redecorating Includes finishing work. In the process finishing work There are additional ideas and desire to decorate the living space with modern decorative elements. Today, one of the popular techniques to change the design of the room is the ceiling finish with wooden beams.

The peak of the design is definitely the ceilings of natural wood. The level of humidity in the room insignificantly affects their design.

Wooden ceiling beams are divided into staircase and carriers. Both those and others can be mounted in such a way as to remain open. Beam beams If they are in a multi-storey house beams of overlappings, there are a certain load of the structure, as they are located in the space between the attic and the room.

The use of wooden beams of multi-level ceilings is still better to provide on a general construction stage during the development of project documentation (design project), observing a strict sequence construction workIn order not to disturb the results of the premises finishing already achieved. This will take into account the location of electrical equipment: electric wiring, lighting devices, air conditioning and air ventilation devices indoors and others.

Ceiling beams give the dwelling some comfort, sophistication of the country structure. Such work may require impressive financial investments, therefore, of course, it is required to consider a lot and weighing so as not to establish poor-quality decorative elements. Let's talk about it.

Open ceiling beams

Ceiling floors in the form of open beams are logs most often coniferous wooden breeds - spruce, pine, cedar. They are carefully cleaned and processed by various means to ensure their durability and giving them modern decor. Less often (due to high costs), larch wood applies. In addition, deciduous trees (except oak) inferior coniferous.

Ceiling beams from an oak array, despite the high quality of the material, it is quite difficult to mount: a large length and thickness of the beam leads to their cracking during drying. Therefore, the stitched oak beams are performed in the form of boxes of thin boards.

Coniferous wood over time acquires beautiful coloring, resin coniferous rocks As if "preserves" an array of the future beam, extending its service life.

Open beams under the antique are performed from expensive wooden breeds: red, black wood, etc.

The successful visual effect of the ceiling with beams depends on the selected design for the entire overlap. This may be an option both to the entire ceiling area and on some one part of it.

The main goal is the visual perception of the entire interior of the whole. Beams can fit the "Christmas tree", "lattice" or other, creating caissons on the ceiling. Parallel beams create a rigor effect, some kind of kindness. Exquisite European style is achieved by the transition method from the ceiling on the walls.

Decorative ceiling beams in combination with textiles, stone, ceramics allow designers to create ceiling designs in various styles: rustic, country, eco-style, Scandinavian, Victorian, Provence style, Mediterranean.

Taves laying beams

Braching: Provides a clear outline of wood pattern texture.

Textural treatment: Creates artificial aging of wood (fine cracks, recesses on the surface of the beams). It is achieved by the use of special brushes, protective compositions, coarse planing.

Vintage style: Artificial aging wood material In combination with the "overwhelmed" paint. Colors, varnishes apply.

Ethno-style: use of metal forged elements, wicker of the twine, ethnic volume items, etc.

Traditional style: Creates a feeling of simplicity and goodness. For processing logs, oil-wax or varnish materials are applied to the surface of the logs.

Braching

Braching is more often used for coniferous rocks. The product of the preparation of the installation for installation has several "secrets", the knowledge of which will allow to achieve good results. First, the beams should be dry and high-quality (without blue, rot, etc.).

To work with the billets, an angular grinding machine is used, an electric drill. For brash, three types of brushes are used: metal - for initial brash, synthetic - for intermediate; Casual - for polishing logs.

If such a beam is treated with a verse and covered with varnish, then the impression will be created that its age is two hundred years. Actually, such not difficult works that can be performed independently will significantly reduce the cost of work. Well, if you put the goal and combat your guests at all external species Beams, you can simulate the traces of the core on the surface of the beams. Technology of such works Next: Tools are applied - sewn, engraver with engraving nozzle; The so-called trail from the entrance of the elderly-cores is created by a sequel, and the groove of its advancement "draws" with the help of an engraver.

This video will tell about how to "form" a tree.

False beams

At dachas or in country houses Often it is used to finish the ceiling with wooden beams of the P-shaped, which are actually pseudo-bulls. They are also called false beams. Empty inside, light enough by weight, such beams make it easier to work on their installation and have a number of advantages:

• Application for ceilings in too high rooms, as the beams are attached to mounting planks Or on decorative metal fasteners.
• Disguise electrical wiring.
• The possibility of a successful location of sofits throughout the beam plane.
• Ease of creating an appearance of the attic (metropolitan or provincial) due to the scant ceiling (transition of beams on the walls).

On wooden hollow beams when creating ethnic style, artificial threads, vignettes, open-type lamps, on chains suspended lampshades, kitchen appliances, photo frames, bugs of herbs and colors (in the form of herbarium) and even suspended air chairs or swing. Any fantasy gives the room your unique design and originality.

With the help of false beams, you can create a High-tech style if you use steel beams with metal trim, stone (for example, marble).

Open beam location methods

The location of the beam visually significantly changes the geometric parameters of the room. The beams installed in the width of the room are capable of visually expanding it, and located along the room - lengthen it. The beams "lattice" crosswise imitates caissional ceilingwhich visually adds the volume room. Attic premises with a ceiling in the form of a thalash look especially creative if the hanging ceiling beams are attached with their ends in the walls, permeating the "arises" on their way of the column.

Beams can be installed on small plot Ceiling over a specific zone - corner or central, over a large bed or kitchen furniture. One long beam can "divide" the room, for example, by creating a dining table zone and a bar rack zone. Lighting equipment on the beams will give such zones with special comfort and comfort. Above the kitchen area to beams can be attached to all sorts of holders and hooks for dishes, fuels, baskets and any utensils. Modern loft interiors include the beam attached to the beam or casually pierced by the eclectic wire elements lowered above the metal plate luminaires, which also creates a coherent and a zone chamber illuminated by such an appliance.

The color of the beams can radically change the focus in the design of the ceiling. For example, dark beams (which is more often found in modern construction), They look heavy, even bulky, bring their rhythm into the interior, graphic, making it tough, dynamic.

Open beams of bright shades look weightless, serene and calm. Special coolness, freshness "contribute" to the room ceiling beams of light gray color on the light ceiling.

The contrast of the color of the beams with the color of the area of \u200b\u200bthe ceiling itself creates the effect of expressiveness. Therefore, it is preferable to see dark beams on the bright ceiling and vice versa.

The use of ceiling beams provides the exclusivity of the dwelling, creates an impression of unusualness and some mysteriousness in any room, which always attracts and surprises. Open beams, one way or another, add comfort, comfort and sensations of a warm home of the heart.

Photo beams on the ceiling

For a long time remained in the past, those times when the beams on the ceiling were exclusively in rural houses. In addition, it is worth noting that today they perform not only the role of the roof support, but also a decorative function. It is because of the latter, many prefer to establish decorative beams not only in country houses, but also in urban apartments. They will look original and unusual, but only if they are correctly beat. It is about how to beat beams on the ceiling in an apartment and an old house, we will tell in this article.

To add the interior, it is absolutely optionally to redo the roof and trying expensive repair, it will be enough to buy decorative beams and install them on the ceiling. In a specialized store you can find the beams of three types:

• wooden;
• metal;
• from polyurethane.

The classic option is wooden beams For ceiling. They are made of ash, pine and oak. They can be solid or hollow inside, which will help hide various communications.

Previously, the beams masked, but now designers include them in the interior of various rooms where they organically fit. It can be:

• living room;
• bedroom;
• cabinet;
• corridor.

Another one original decision It will be the zoning of the room. Especially relevant for the studio apartment or country house with large rooms. It is enough to position the beams on the ceiling. If we consider styles in which wooden decor elements occupy a leading position, then here you can allocate:

• scandinavian;
• rustic;
• country;
• mediterranean.

On the beams you can also fasten the lamps or chandeliers with chains.

Features of design

Planning the interior, it is necessary to pay attention to all the details, even the most insignificant. When it comes to the beams, there are several options: beat the entire surface or it is partially originated by making strict structures. Lock the beams are the most diverse methodsAt the same time relying on its taste and discretion, so you should not be limited to the rules.

There are several relevant ways to finish wood beams on the ceiling:

1. Braching. This technology will allocate wood texture. Masters imitate even the traces from the Coroeda. The beams are converted to be unrecognizable, and the impression will be created that residents are in an old house that has been more than 200 years.
2. Fire processing. This is an artificial composition of wood. For this method you will need a soldering lamp and special brushes.
3. Vintage style. It is possible to achieve the ceiling with carrier beams like an antique, you can with the help of special paints and varnishes.
4. Ethnic style. It is necessary to include wrought elements and twine in the interior.
5. Traditional style. A distinctive feature is simplicity, it allows you to create an atmosphere of comfort and heat.

Some designs involve transitions from the ceilings on the wall. At the same time, the beams will be able to give an exquisite European style room.

In the old house

Quite often in country houses that are used in the season (summer) finish quickly comes in disrepair and loses its attractive appearance. Especially often this happens in wooden houseSince wood is exposed to moisture and dampness. To return the beams presentable, you can:

• make dismantling of old beams and the installation of polyurethane false beams (this material simulates the texture of the tree);
• conduct construction design by ropes by creating an interior in the marine style;
• hide flaws on the surface with paint or varnish;
• with too obvious defects, they sharpen and process to the surface, after which the paint should be applied;
• it is not easy to paint the beams, but also to put painting on them manually or using stencils.

There are also several recommendations regarding the style of the room's interior. For example, the style of High-tech is well combined with metal shades, the original wires are added, which do not hide, and simple light bulbs. If we talk about the style of country or provence, the whitewashed ceiling will be most appropriate here on the background of bright beams.

When staining the beams, it is not necessary to give preference to natural (brown) and pastel colors. Selecting bright colors, you can get bright accent on the ceiling.

Disguise concrete beam

Now consider the main methods, how can you beat the beams on the ceiling in the house in different situations.

Option with mounting LED ribbons is suitable for modern style Or for a teenager room.

How to be if the concrete beam fails to disguise? In this case, a suspended design of plasterboard or stretch ceiling. From drywall, you can make a box in the form of the letter "P". Fasten such a box should be directly to the ceiling and adjacent wall. It is not recommended to drill in the beam, as it can lose its technical characteristics.

Moreover, if the beam from the concrete is located vertically, then this deficiency can be paid in the advantage. For example, make a built-in wardrobe. This will completely hide the existing beam and at the same time a lot of space will appear for storage.

Full or partial disguise

Quite often, the owners make a decision to completely hide the beams from the view, but you can close only the space between the beams, making the ceiling. In this case are used next species Ceilings and materials:

• tension;
• plasterboard;
• caissional;
• lining.

The most expensive and sophisticated is the caissional ceiling. In addition to beams, this design provides for the creation of other elements, such as cells, recesses and eaves. The shape of the cassette can be any:

• polygon;
• rhombus;
• square.

Using partial disguise, you can hide flaws and defects on the ceiling and at the same time leave the beam room in the interior.

If your house has ceiling beams, then getting rid of them will be the worst decision. After all, you can make a highlight to the interior of the room with minimal and temporary costs, just correctly beat the existing design features.
