Timber beams can be added just for effect. A very nice effect. Don't you think so? Douglas fir is chosen for the this project. More of a formal look in this case for the Von Trapp Family Lodge.

Decorative Timber Beams
Decorative timbers beams are a nice way to add the timber frame feel to an existing space. Interested? Let's do it.
Posts in the corners....or not, you decide how much timber to add. I love the timber ceiling shown here:
(This design IS structural, but if it wasn't...you wouldn't be able to tell)!

Decorative Timber Beams and Posts ARE a Wonderful Choice.
Do you have a conventionally framed house but wish you had a timber frame? Adding decorative timbers to your conventionally framed house is a wonderful option. Consider timber ceiling beams for your kitchen area.

Timber Ceiling Beams & Decorative Posts by VTW
Sometimes just some timber ceiling beams can do wonders for a design. Not a full timber frame, but decorative heavy timber here and
there...
or maybe there?
Very nice Vermont Timber Works! If your budget doesn't allow for a custom hand crafted full timber frame, or if maybe you just don't want one (WHAT?) I know, I know it happens. If you like the look of the timber beams and posts, we can incorporate them into your design as you wish.

The greatest great room of all...the timber great room.
Well, that's our opinion at least! Here are some timber great rooms that we, Vermont Timber Works have had the pleasure of building.

What do you think of our arched hammer beam? It's definitely a favorite. Maybe a truss design that is more rustic is to your liking?
How about our modified king post? Shown below in beautiful douglas fir, just gorgeous. Notice how this king post design sits higher in the space, creating extra height (and more complex engineering)!

The Timber Great Room & Kitchen Ceiling...
The great room and the kitchen area, many times the center piece of your home. At Vermont Timber Works we are very willing to work with you on your great room. Maybe some timber beams for your kitchen ceiling? Here are some ideas...

Timber entry way? Very cute, I love it. You do not have to build a full timber frame to get the timber frame feel. Sometimes a full frame isn't in the budget and at Vermont Timber Works, we understand.

Wood ceiling beams can make a room GREAT!
Some may not call this a great room because it doesn't have the height....but look at those timber ceiling beams. It doesn't get much greater than that. Octagon shaped living room with pine ceiling beams. Wonderful job Vermont Timber Works!
