Decorative beams are designed to create a unique and inimitable design in the room. Moreover, it is noted that such an element of the interior will perfectly fit into the style of country music, hi-tech and even avant-garde.
Based on the foregoing, it is not at all surprising that lately decorative beams have become more and more popular. If at first they were used only in some establishments (such as bars, pubs, restaurants, and so on), now we can say with confidence that they have already migrated to private houses, apartments, and offices.
It is also worth noting that these beams are divided into two categories according to the type of material from which they are made. The first option is decorative wooden beams. They were popular in the past. Although all their popularity was due to the fact that the tree simply had no alternatives. But in 1970, such an alternative appeared. They were decorative polyurethane beams. To date, this option is more massive and more common. As usual, there are good reasons for that. First of all,polyurethane is much lighter than wood. And this leads to great ease of installation. Also in this case, there is no need for powerful load-bearing walls to which a decorative beam is attached. Well, at the expense of fastening: a beam made of polyurethane can be simply attached using self-tapping screws or special glue.
Also, polyurethane decorative beams are superior to wooden ones in some other respects. They meet all fire safety standards, are not afraid of insect attacks, are resistant to moisture, and so on. And all this despite the fact that outwardly the polyurethane beam looks exactly like a wooden one.
Well, the last, perhaps the most important point. Polyurethane is much cheaper than wood. This means that it looks more preferable also in connection with the financial aspect. Although, on the other hand, it turns out that wooden decorative beams acquire a certain exclusivity. Moreover, it is a natural material.
As for the general purpose of decorative beams, in addition to the fact that they perfectly cope with aesthetic functions, this decorative element is also intended to hide some engineering communications that are unpleasant to the eye.
Also, if we are talking about a decorative polyurethane beam, we should not forget about modern technologies. The point is that these very beams can be created absolutely for every taste. These can be products with a rough "uncouth" surface. Similarly, it can be beamswith a completely smooth finish. In addition, polyurethane can imitate not only the color of wood, but also the color of the same stone, which in certain circumstances looks exciting.
Today, there are a large number of manufacturers of such beams. Accordingly, according to this indicator, the buyer will have plenty to choose from. It can be both domestic producers and foreign ones.
