Is the beam placed vertically or horizontally?

The beam is placed vertically, because standing vertically will reduce the width but increase the thickness. It should also be known that the bending resistance of increasing the width is less than that of increasing the thickness. Increasing the width of the beam can only increase the bending capacity, while increasing the thickness of the beam can greatly increase the bending capacity. So the beam is vertical, not horizontal, and has strong bending resistance, so the beam is placed vertically.

There's an old saying in China called "Liang coping", which actually refers to the "Liang evil spirit" in Feng Shui. Having beams in the bedroom is a no-no, which will affect wealth and health. Beam pressing machine and beam pressing furnace will affect feng shui, but also affect the appearance, with a sense of oppression.

Precautions:

The high-rise roof is low. If the beam is large, the ceiling may make the room full of depression. Don't make a ceiling, you can also try to cover it with furniture; If the beam is on the side, it can be covered by a hanging cabinet, which is both beautiful and practical.

Furthermore, if the beams are not on the side, you can make mistakes, sit on a neat row of beams and blend in with them, and you won't notice. Equipped with black spotlights and water pipes, the modern industrial ceiling with a sense of fashion perfectly resolves the crisis of beams, and there will be no oppression, or it is also a very good choice to directly make several groups of wooden beams to present different ceiling States.
