Photographs of the room from its main entry point, ceiling height at the highest and lowest point, rough room dimensions, and any images that show the direction you are drawn to. If you have plans, elevations or a finish schedule, send those too. None of it is required to start a conversation — a photograph and a rough idea of the room is enough to begin. ### How do I choose a beam style for my room? Start with the room rather than the beam. Ceiling height and room proportion narrow the field faster than anything else, because they determine what depth of profile will read correctly from where people actually sit or stand. From there it is a question of how much character you want the ceiling to carry: a clean silhouette recedes into the architecture, while a pronounced texture makes the ceiling part of the room's subject matter. ### Can I share photos, drawings, or inspiration images? Yes. The inquiry form accepts image and PDF uploads, so photographs of the room, plans, elevations and inspiration images can all be attached to your inquiry. If your files are large or numerous, send a representative selection and note in your description what else you have. ### What is the difference between a beam profile and a texture? The profile is the beam's shape in cross-section — the silhouette you would see if you cut through it. A box profile reads as a solid rectangle; a flanged or open-web profile introduces shadow and void. The texture is what happens on the surface of that shape: how smooth or worked it is, and how it catches light. Two beams can share a profile and look entirely different because of texture, and vice versa. ### Can I explore styles before I make an inquiry? Yes, and it is usually the better order. The textures and styles page and the applications pages are built to be browsed without contacting anyone. When something resonates, you can carry it straight into the inquiry form, which records the directions you selected so the conversation starts from your shortlist rather than from a blank page. ### Do I need to know what I want before getting in touch? No. Most inquiries arrive at the point of 'the ceiling feels unfinished and I am not sure what would fix it'. Room photographs and a sense of the character you are after are enough to have a useful first conversation about scale, silhouette and finish direction. ## Vocabulary used on this site - Profiles (design directions, availability confirmed per project): Box beam, I-beam inspired, Bolted I-beam inspired, Lattice / open-web inspired, Cellular / opening inspired, Log inspired - Texture directions: Clean & subtle, Sawn & linear, Hand-worked, Reclaimed-inspired, Rustic & pronounced, Southwest-inspired - Finish families: Warm light, Natural medium, Deep brown, Charcoal & black, Weathered grey, Painted & light - Rooms covered: Great Room, Kitchen & Dining, Vaulted Ceiling, Bedroom & Entry, Covered Outdoor, Commercial Last generated from site content.
