Wood Ceiling Beams for Churches and Chapels

Churches, with their high ceilings and beautiful spaces, are natural places for massive wooden beams. Vermont Timber Works builds heavy timber frames for old and new churches, monasteries and chapels. We design timber trusses for beautiful interior spaces and elegant exterior entries. Often architects come to us early with their ideas. We take a look at their plans, make structural suggestions, and help them design and engineer frames that are elegant and timeless. Our church designs can be ancient or contemporary - embellished, or simple. Please browse the photographs below for ideas.

Give us a call at 802-886-1917 or e-mail to learn how we can help with your church project. Heavy timber church construction typically falls under division 06130, division 6130, division 06170 or division 06180. For a list of the architects and clients we've worked with, go to our Cool Links page. See videos of our work on You Tube.
