What is a Box Beam ?
A box beam is 3-sided, sometimes described as "U" shaped, and looks like a solid wood beam but
- lighter
- easier to install
- mounts to standard blocking with no posts or added structure.
A box beam "wrap" is purposed to wrap around steel columns, or other exposed or unsightly structural elements or beams.
2-sided box beams, which can be described a "L" shaped, can be used where 2 walls meet - in corners as columns or along side walls.
Box beams and wraps are often referred to as hollow wood beams or faux beams, though many faux beams do not use real wood.
Wood Tones in Brown and Gray
Classic Smooth: Sleek Contemporary
We strip away the weathered exterior to reveal the breathtaking "mystery within the wood." Showcasing clean interior grains and rich natural colors, this texture adds authentic organic warmth to Modern, Contemporary, and Transitional spaces without feeling heavy or overly rustic.
Bandsawn: Refined Rusticity
Traditional bandsaws leave fine, perpendicular lines across the wood grain, creating a beautifully balanced texture. More refined than hand-hewn but showcasing richer grain than circle sawn, it’s the ultimate architectural choice for Modern Farmhouse and Industrial Chic interiors.
Circle Sawn: Vintage Arc
Featuring the graceful, sweeping footprints of massive antique circular saw blades, this texture delivers a rugged yet uniform vintage appeal. It brings a robust, time-honored character that perfectly anchors Mountain Rustic, Lodge, and Traditional home designs.
HAND HEWN: Artisan Craftsmanship
Once shaped by broad axes and pioneer hands, these new hewn beams on old wood are a sustainable and obtainable choice in custom sizes otherwise unavailable. Bold and entirely unique, this craftsman texture is essential for inspiring an heirloom inheritance in Rustic and Cabin-style designs.

Box Beam and Beam Wrap Costs
Authentic reclaimed wood and precise craftsmanship cost more than a site-built beam from new lumber. Every beam is quoted to your dimensions, so you pay only for material required. Box beams are light so they ship for less and install with a standard trim crew, which often offsets the material cost.
Here’s why box beams make financial sense:
Dramatically Lower Labor: Lightweight hollow beams install in hours rather than days and rarely require expensive structural reinforcement.
Reduced Shipping Rates: Lower weight means lower freight costs from our mill directly to your job site.
Maximum Architectural Value: You get the bold impact of refined or antique timber while keeping your overall project budget intact.
