Leave a steel beam exposed or conceal it?

Both exposed and concealed steel need a considered finish. Discuss space, appearance and protective requirements before finalising the design.

Draagmuur Gigant · Updated 24 September 2026

Check clear height

The structure and its cladding take up space. Establish the finished headroom and how the new work meets existing ceilings. A visible beam needs agreement on surface quality, colour and required protection.

Coordinate concealment

A bulkhead may affect lighting or curtain tracks. Coordinate corners, joints and plaster finishes. Do not conceal relevant inspection points before checks are complete. A structural component is not automatically finished to the same visual standard as decorative interior steel.

Your checklist

  • Record finished headroom
  • Discuss colour and surface quality
  • Coordinate cladding and services
