Beam straps can be used to cover up seams on a beam, or they can even be a decorative element. We will show you a few ways that straps can be creatively used in a few different situations you may come across, as you are installing your beams.
A seam in the middle of the room
1. In this situation, you have two separate beams that you are running across your ceiling, you can place a strap in-between them to make them appear as one long beam.

Adding straps, solely as a decorative element
4. If your beam spanning completely between the two walls, you may choose to place straps at each end of the beams as not to reveal the edges of the beam that are butting up against the wall.
