A 2-sided beam has an L-shaped profile designed for applications where only two faces of the beam will remain visible. This makes it especially useful where a decorative beam meets a wall or ceiling, as well as for perimeter details, headers, and other locations where a fully three-sided beam is unnecessary.
Yes. The 2-sided profile is particularly useful along ceiling perimeters because one side can meet the adjoining surface while the two finished faces remain visible. This can create the appearance of a substantial timber detail without requiring a fully boxed beam.
Yes. Combining profiles can be useful when a beam layout extends from one side of a room to another. Two-sided beams can handle areas where the design meets a wall or perimeter while 3-sided beams can be used where three exposed faces will be visible.
Yes. End caps are available as an option for Artisan Series 2-Sided Douglas Fir beams when an exposed end needs a finished appearance. The appropriate end cap option can be selected based on how the beam will terminate within the project.
Yes. The L-shaped profile can be used to introduce a timber-style architectural detail above doorways, openings, and similar transitions where two finished faces will be visible.
