Superior Faux Wood Beams

As you enter through the doorway, you are immediately taken back by the ceiling souring into the sky. Large time weathered rustic beams over head, in a breath taking wagon wheel pattern. These beams look like they weigh 1000’s of pounds, and have been aging in a barn for decades.

The real secret is that no trees were harmed in the creation of this memorable ceiling. These faux beams or false beams are made from quality polyurethane, which make the ceiling beams very light weight, and easy to install. The beams over head weigh a fraction of what real beams weigh. With the average faux wood beam weighing less than 15lbs, this ceiling has less than 150 lbs of faux beams attached to it.

With the faux wood beams being so lightweight, you do not have to worry about reinforcing the ceiling.

Faux Wood Beams & Crown Moulding

Today’s Feature Friday highlights an out of the box design concept that really changes a room’s atmosphere.

Traditionally when thinking about installing faux wood planks, the idea of installing them along the ceiling is the first thought that comes to mind. Often when the planks are used along the ceiling, faux wood beams are then installed over them to add additional depth.

In the below picture, the designer intented to create a western style game/bar room. The house has traditional moulding running throughout but a room with a different feel was desiredfor the entertaining area.

The T 28 faux wood ceiling plank was used as a door surround in this picture. In addition to the door surround it was used as the backsplash for the bar area and a decorative accent under the bar table top. The PM 12 plank was used as the window surrounds and baseboards and was installed with a 45 degree miter cut to create a perfect frame. To continue the flow of this western style room, the PM 09 was used to join all of the planks together. The PM 09 is the smaller plank that connects the PM 12 window surround and baseboard to the T 28 door surround.

To help the transition from the game room to the remaining of the house, the UT 9805 crown molding (moulding) was installed along the ceiling.

As a side note, if you are considering designing a similar i style room, faux wood corbels provide a great design aspect under a countertop & or bar area.
