A 2-sided profile is designed for installations where the beam fits against a flat surface and only two faces need to remain visible. It works especially well for perimeter framing, wall transitions, and other layouts where a third finished face would be concealed.
Yes. Unfinished Douglas Fir can be stained to coordinate with flooring, cabinetry, trim, or other wood features in the room. Because real wood naturally varies in grain and color, testing the chosen stain on a sample before finishing the installed beams helps confirm the final appearance.
Yes. Douglas Fir is a natural material, so variations in grain pattern, knots, tone, and other wood characteristics occur from one piece to another. These differences are part of the authentic appearance of real wood and mean installed beams should not be expected to look completely identical.
No. These Natural Series beams use real Douglas Fir in a box-beam construction rather than a single solid timber. This preserves the authentic surface, grain, and character of real wood while reducing weight compared with a similarly proportioned solid beam.
Yes. The 2-sided profile is specifically suited to wall-adjacent installations and transitions where the beam mounts flush against a flat surface. This allows real Douglas Fir to frame the ceiling perimeter or emphasize an architectural transition without requiring a beam finished on every side.
