Decorative Beams for Interiors
Hand-finished decorative beams for flat and pitched ceilings, lofts and wall details, made to suit the dimensions, colour palette and style of the interior.
The Warmth and Look of Wood, Tailored to Your Space
Decorative beams bring the warmth and rhythm of timber structures into a room without the weight of solid wood. They can define a flat or sloped ceiling, shape an attic, connect an open-plan interior or conceal services, with their profile, texture and colour tailored to the space.
Decorative beams are handcrafted in three ranges: Modern, Classic and Rustic. Modern features subtle grain and clean lines, Classic has a moderately pronounced wood texture, while Rustic recreates the rough surface and deep cracks of aged timber.
Depending on the application, the lightweight core is made from high-density EPS 200, composite XPS, aerated concrete or another suitable material. The surface is shaped by hand with acrylic and polymer compounds, finished in the selected colour and designed for easy maintenance.
The section, length, texture depth, colour, connectors and channels for cables or lighting are adapted to the actual space. Custom beams are generally produced in single lengths of up to 250 cm, while selected standard PU models are available in lengths of up to 400 cm.
Standard colours include ebony, dark walnut, walnut, teak, dark oak, golden oak and white. ANTIC shades are made to order. We recommend confirming the final colour against a physical sample, as screen colours may differ from the finished surface.

Installation Guidance
Decorative Beam Installation and Safety
The beams are lightweight, but the substrate, supports and joints must be prepared for the actual length, section and position of each beam. The lighting instructions must be read before production and installation.
Mark the Layout and Prepare the Supports
Mark the beam centrelines before installation. Position timber battens approximately every 100 cm, adapting the spacing to the substrate and the length and section of the beam.
Cut the Beam and Apply Adhesive
Cut the beam to the required length and apply a mounting or PU adhesive suitable for the beam material and the specific substrate to its inner edges.
Position and Secure the Beam
Carefully position the beam over the prepared supports. Secure it with screws where required, taking care not to damage the finished texture.
Finish the Joints
Cover visible joints and beam connections with metal or decorative straps matched to the section, texture and colour of the beam.
IMPORTANT WARNING!
Light fittings and electrical installations must be installed by qualified, trained and licensed companies or individuals in accordance with professional standards. All electrical cables and circuits must be properly insulated.
Only 3–5 W GU10 LED Bulbs Are Permitted
Only 3–5 W GU10 LED bulbs may be installed in decorative beams and elements. Halogen or other bulbs and LED panels with drivers are strictly prohibited.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions about decorative beams
What are decorative beams made of?
decorative beams are most often made as light elements from EPS, XPS or a similar composite base, with a hand-shaped texture that imitates solid wood. The advantage is light weight, easier assembly and the possibility of custom-made.
Can decorative beams be installed on an existing ceiling?
Yes, in most cases they can be installed on an existing ceiling, knauf or stable wall base. The method of fixing depends on the length of the beam, the base, the layout of the elements and whether the connections or installations need to be hidden.
Can decorative beams hide cables or LED lighting?
They can, but slots for cables, LED strips or connectors should be planned before production. Electrical work and the selection of lighting should be performed by a professional, especially if the lighting is installed inside or next to a beam.
How is the price of decorative beams determined?
The price depends on the dimension, section, length, quantity, texture, color, finish and complexity of assembly. You can check the orientation documents on the siteCatalogs & Price Lists, and for an exact quote it is best to send measurements and a photo of the space.
Can decorative beams be added to a finished room?
Yes, if the substrate is stable and allows safe fixing. Service routes, lighting positions and joint details are checked before installation.
Are you planning decorative beams for the ceiling or wall?
Provide approximate dimensions, the installation location and the desired finish. This allows us to define the section, construction and final coating.
