Decorative beams are designed to create a unique and inimitable design in a room. Moreover, it is noted that such an element of the interior fits perfectly into the country style, high-tech and even avant-garde.
Based on the foregoing, it is not at all surprising that recently, decorative beams have become increasingly popular. If at first they were used only in some institutions (such as bars, pubs, restaurants, and so on), now we can say with confidence that they have migrated to private houses, apartments, as well as 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 beams made of wood. They were popular once upon a time. 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 beams made of polyurethane. Today, this particular option is more widespread and more widespread. As usual, there are adequate reasons. Firstly, polyurethane is several times lighter than wood. And this leads to great ease of installation. Also in this case, there is no need for powerful
supporting walls to which a decorative beam is attached. Well, at the expense of fastening: a beam made of polyurethane, just attach it with screws or special glue.
Also, polyurethane decorative beams are superior to wood and 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 a polyurethane beam looks exactly like a wooden one.
Well, the last, perhaps the most important point. Polyurethane is much cheaper than wood. So, 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 decor element is also designed to hide some engineering communications that are unpleasant to the eye.
Also, if we are talking about a decorative beam made of polyurethane, do not forget about modern technologies. The point is that these very beams can be created for absolutely every taste. It can be products with a rough "uncouth" surface. Similarly, it can be beams with an absolutely smooth coating. And polyurethane can imitate not only the color of the tree, but also the color of the same stone, which in some circumstances looks exciting.
To date, 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 manufacturers and foreign.
