wood beams
Ceiling support timbers
Wood beams are structural timbers used to support weight in buildings, bridges, and other constructions.
They span horizontal distances, bearing loads from floors, roofs, or ceilings above.
Exposed wood beams are often featured decoratively in rustic or traditional architecture: The farmhouse had original wood beams in the kitchen ceiling.
The phrase distinguishes from steel or concrete beams.
