HOLLOW BEAMS BUILT WITH RECLAIMED WOOD
Gray Board Box Beams
Our Gray Board Box Beams are fabricated from authentic reclaimed wood planking, offering a naturally weathered appearance shaped by years of exposure to the elements. The overall tone features a range of soft grays—from light silvers to deeper charcoal hues—often accented by subtle brown undertones, creating a muted, time-worn look that highlights the material’s natural aging process.
Each beam is constructed using our reclaimed Gray Board plank, carefully selected and assembled to create a consistent and cohesive finish while preserving the natural variation, grain character, and aged patina of the material. For projects incorporating ceiling decking alongside exposed beams, our Gray Board plank is a natural complement (featured above).
Due to the nature of the source material, lengths can typically be produced in full runs up to 16 feet. For longer spans, visible end joints may be incorporated as part of the design.
These beams are built to order in a wide range of sizes and configurations and are often a more economical option compared to barn timber varieties.
How to order the right size for your project:
To ensure accurate quoting and a successful project, the most important step is determining whether your beams are purely decorative or wrapping existing framing. Please review the options below and let us know when inquiring.
Option 1: Built for decorative purposes only
If the box beam is purely aesthetic, we quote the size based on nominal exterior dimensions.
Information Needed to Provide Pricing:
- (A) Beam Width
- (B) Beam Height
- (C) Length of beam (rounded up to nearest foot)
- (D) Number of sides (2, 3, or 4)
- (E) Quantity (pricing is based on total volume of job)
Interior dimensions will vary based on material thickness and are not considered critical. Exterior dimensions are considered nominal unless specified as exact.
Option 2: Built to Cover Existing Framing
If the box beam is intended to cover over existing framing, the box beam will be built to provided interior dimensions (ID).
Information Needed to Provide Pricing:
- (A) Interior Width (including clearance)
- (B) Interior Height (including clearance)
- (C) Length (rounded up to nearest foot)
- (D) Number of sides (2, 3, or 4)
- (E) Quantity (pricing is based on total volume of job)
Exterior dimensions will vary based on material thickness and are considered “approximate” on the quote.
⚠️ Incorrect interior sizing can result in beams that do not fit. Please ensure dimensions provided to us include enough room to safely cover framing and must include a MINIMUM ¼″ of extra space in both width and height to allow for proper installation.
