Most building materials in your home are somewhat fire resistant, insulation, stucco, insulated wires, roof shingles, etc… even wood framed homes are fire blocked to help prevent the fire from traveling. Even the best polyurethane beam never really looks like a piece of wood, and is a disappointing replacement for a conventional beam. In order to produce these large beams, very mature trees must be used, as the beam needs to be cut from the tree without any of the heart center present.
4. Done right, a box beam is indistinguishable from a real beam, seamless and without joints. For a 12” x 12” x 16’ beam, very common, this requires use of trees that are 50 plus years old. It is made from 3 pieces of lumber glued together.
3. This one is a no brainer. Rot and Mold can set in with any beam, devastating the appearance, and creating mold spores which are potentially hazardous to the health of you and your family. FOHC beams hurt the environment. With enough wood located in common areas throughout your house, a fire can spread with terrifying speed. It also contains blocking, which is a further way of preventing fire hazard. The wood used for building homes is all dried in a Kiln, hence names like KD Hem Fir, where KD is Kiln Dried. The price is often 2 or times that of a regular beam. This means larger and more expensive trusses, as well as more wood in the walls, more bolts, etc… Many times the desired ceiling beam span cannot be achieved without danger of sagging ceilings and trusses, a very expensive problem. Mold and Rot.

2. Many fires are unable to spread fast enough to burn down homes. FOHC – Free Of Heart Center Beams are required for beams of any size, as they are less prone to twisting (though they do still twist, just somewhat less). Since it is made from Kiln Dried Lumber, there is no possibility of a coffered ceiling made with box beams looking like a Tim Burton movie after a couple of years. But this calculation is dramatically altered by the presence of large chunks of wood. Fire Safety – wood beams provide fuel to any fire in your home. This will not work for the do it yourselfer, as without perfect technique the final result will just look like pieces of wood stuck together. When an architect builds a house, he may spec out coffered ceilings, large wood headers, and all manner of decorative wood beams. Beams all twist and crack.
5.

Alternatives
There are several alternative solutions for decorative wood ceiling beams. It is prohibitively expensive to kiln dry large beams, as the wood will twist and crack, at which point it will need to be ripped down again. As Moisture leaves the wood, twisting and cracking can turn an attractive, decorative ceiling beam into a twisted monstrosity.
1. As you may imagine, this is only an option for a master craftsman, a professional carpenter who is equipped for just this. Often these beams are harvested illegally in south American forests, where the removal of the trees, the habitat of many of the indigenous species, harms the eco system beyond measure. Even if Coated sheet suppliers you do not live in an arid climate, there exists great potential for the beam to become damaged. To support the weight of these very heavy chunks of wood, the architect will also need to design the structure in a sturdier fashion, to support the weight. Wood was all once decorative materials Suppliers alive, and had a very high moisture content. These products have not become as mainstream as they should due to varying quality and supply.

. Beams require a structure engineered to support them. The larger the beam required, the more certain the beam was harvested illegally, in an unsustainable fashion, and with serious environmental ramifications.

The Box Beam is the best alternative. Polyurethane beams are the most well known, and have earned a reputation for being fake looking. This is a decorative beam that does not serve any structural purpose
