The space in the image represents an impressive gastronomic area that combines the raw texture of industrial architecture with warm rustic elements. In this high-ceilinged structure, the cold balance created by brick walls and metal lighting is softened by polyurethane beam systems extending across the ceiling. Natural light filtering through large windows maximizes the perception of depth, merging with the geometric wooden parquet patterns on the floor. The transition between the cream-colored wall panels and the raw wood tones of the ceiling creates an intimate atmosphere while supporting acoustic comfort.
Decorative elements simulating the load-bearing system, such as polyurethane beams, rafters, and log models, play a leading role. Specifically, products P1981D and P1981G form truss structures that meet at the peak of the ceiling, bringing the atmosphere of a historical inn or hangar into the modern day. These products are applied without the weight of solid wood, reducing the static load on the ceiling structure to zero. Thanks to high-density molding techniques, the knots and grain patterns on each beam possess a detail sensitivity indistinguishable from real wood texture.
The precast polyurethane casting technique used in the production process provides a significant advantage during the installation phase. Due to their lightweight structure, even complex ceiling truss systems like the one in the photo can be installed quickly using screws and specialized adhesives. Their moisture-resistant nature completely eliminates the risk of cracking or insect infestation that can occur with wood in restaurant sections near kitchen areas. Products are shipped paintable or in ready-made wood tones (oak, walnut, distressed) to perfectly match the project's color palette.
If you wish to implement such a design in your business, choosing the correct beam thickness relative to ceiling height is critical. In large-volume restaurants, thick logs with sections of 15x20 cm or 20x20 cm fill the space as seen in the visual, while thinner profiles should be preferred for lower ceilings. You can achieve floor-to-ceiling integrity by combining the cream-colored wainscoting on the walls with polyurethane wall moldings. Mounting lighting fixtures directly onto these beams allows you to hide cable clutter in the hollow channels within the beams, ensuring a clean and professional look.
The design success of the space comes from the use of horizontal beams that divide the ceiling height and bring it down to a human scale. The material contrast between the metallic reflections of the lighting fixtures and the matte wood texture of the polyurethane reinforces the industrial chic. Light refracts on the rough surfaces of the beams, creating deep shadows that make the ceiling appear multi-layered. The symmetry in the layout creates a central focal point, providing a corporate order to the venue.
