• A cross-shaped arrangement of beams add volume room.
• Help raise the ceiling beams, calling on the wall.
• To understate the ceiling beams is lowered and fixed to the walls and on hangers.

• Positioning elements can not only longitudinally, parallel and crosswise, but obliquely, or divide the ceiling into sectors of different sizes. For example - to select a central portion with a chandelier, the remaining zones will both framing.

When the beams decoration conceived at the design stage, overlap is constructed so that the fine finish sandwiched between the support elements, so just do not have to imitate anything in advance decorate. But such a situation - a rarity, even though there is basically the same idea of ​​using the beam comes already in the process of finishing or major repairs, so you have to select the appropriate option imitation. There are several varieties of ornamental beams:

• Wood - Finished decorative elements (from an array or teams), are sold in specialized stores, custom-made furniture and carpentry workshop, homemade from a bar or board.
• Polyurethane - finished hollow moldings of all kinds of colors and textures, the visual quality resembles a natural texture and look almost like wood. If the order blanks in the production of polyurethane, they have to finish (plaster, paint or wrapping films).
• Foam - on sale almost never occur, but you can make yourself as fat and dense foam thermal insulation - the universal clamor, from which you can sculpt anything anything. When the cheapness and availability of the source code would require considerable investments in the production and decoration.
• Gypsum - represent a box with a frame profile or a bar, steering of thin sheets of plasterboard. As foam variant neutral clamor to implement any fantasies, but also require careful finishing and finishing.
• Composite - batten wooden frame steering sheet materials (MDF, chipboard, particle board).

With the usual complexities finished design does not arise, but one - they need to buy. And the fun is not cheap, even if the question of polyurethane, not to mention the valuable wood. Therefore, focus on the self-made versions, most often it is a board, boards and drywall. In this article we consider the production of beams of timber.

Homemade decorative beams of timber

One of the most popular ways - using beams with the same cross-section or with different parties, depending on the desired effect. To avoid deformation, requires a dry timber, moist wood will twist, as the lumber must be wormholes and rot. In addition, the timber should be smooth - if the invoice to see a problem with the high ceilings, you slant immediately attract attention. fastening method depends on the type of overlap, the beam must be properly weigh and securely fixed by concrete slabs used dowel-nails, anchors, or Chopik wooden studs. Decide on the layout diagram (drawn by hand, to make a drawing in a graphics editor), it is transferred to the ceiling. The easiest way to fight off the line levels, but for lack of a suitable level and the right or contrasting lace.

The first step nanoshu starter layer of putty for wood screws to holes from and wait complete drying. If the layer is thick, it usually crack, but the crack covers the second layer, and after painting, they are not manifested.

Variations of this method of mass, but the essence is - to show the wood structure by machining, after stress paints. Combine several layers of colorless varnish and toning each interlayer fine tuning sandpaper or bars. This method used SergeiSt, Beams on the beam, he took the crude, but after finally dried it on the street and indoors.

Once the timber has been aged, the varnish was applied to the color given to soak and dry, cleared the surface of the cubes.

At the end of clear lacquer was applied, it can be done any number of times, it all depends on the desired intensity gloss. The result I was completely satisfied.

On the ceiling SergeiSt Phillips made the layout, dividing the ceiling into nine zones, with a large central part. Places joint craftsman closed metal plates with homemade flashlight could use ready-made decorative elements, but when the hands of the gold, the easy way is not selected.

Beams had combined with stretch ceiling around the perimeter in the joints of the LED strip is mounted.
