Wooden beams on the ceiling can be of two types: hollow and solid wood beams. The first have a purely decorative function, their profile has the form of a letter n. When installing such a simulation of beams on the ceiling inside the profile, you can hide the wiring and install lighting. All-wood beams can already be present in the room as a supporting structure. Sometimes they cause a lot of trouble, for example, in the neighborhood of beams and a stretch ceiling. Sometimes it is not recommended to mount such beams because of their heavy weight.
