No Structural Reinforcement Needed Polyurethane Beams
Interior Installation: fauxwoodbeams 068
Building Code Specialist regulatory Perspective
Many homeowners are surprised to learn that their ceiling may not support the weight of solid timber beams. Standard residential ceiling construction assumes relatively light loads - drywall, insulation, light fixtures, ceiling fans. Solid timber beams add significant weight that may exceed the structural capacity of the existing ceiling. Polyurethane beams that don't require structural reinforcement solve this problem for homes where the ceiling can't handle additional load. Here's the engineering behind this advantage.
