Beamed Ceiling SystemIf you are considering transforming a room or open area with beautiful architectural beamed ceiling system then read on. I have found a very easy and attractive way to change or enhance the beauty of any space with a simple beamed ceiling system or maybe a plank ceiling or wall project.
If considering a new beamed ceiling system the first step is to select a design idea for your new ceiling project. I have found a page that will share a variety of room types and show you before and after ideas. Click Here • Tape measure • Screw gun • Stud finder • Chalk line • Caulk gun • PL Premium Construction Adhesive or Liquid Nails • Screws • Mollies (if necessary) • Ladder (if necessary) • Saw • Blocks of wood • Caulk wood filler
You can begin the installation process by placing masking tape to determine the position of your beams. From here you should plan to chalk two parallel lines to align the planned inside edges of your new beams. This will help you align the wood blocks you will install to help secure the beam.
The next step will be to measure and cut the beams to length. Before beginning this process the manufacturer recommends leaving the beam in the room for at least 24 hours to acclimate it to both temperature and humidity in the room. Cut the beam slightly longer than the actual measurement to assure a snug fit.
From here you should dry fit the beam and then apply a bead of PL Premium to each edge to be glued into place, follow glue manufactures recommendations. Push the beam into place and fit it tightly into place. When the beam is in place you should place screws through the beam into each side of the wood blocks.
The last two steps are to wipe off and clean any glue that might ooze from the beam-ceiling joint and then apply caulk to conceal screw heads.
