Superior Faux Beam - Cathedral Ceiling Installation

1. Measure the hollow section of the faux           beam.

2. Cut a block of wood to fit within the valley     of the decorative beam 

3. Option - To prevent splitting, pre-drill the       blocks of wood for the screws. 

4. Mount the blocks with screws to the               ceiling.

7. If needed, cut beams to the desired               length. Hand or electrical saws will work         fine. If using a circular saw, we recommend     using a blade with 80 teeth or greater. 

10. If needed, cover the screw or nail heads         with wood filler and use touchup stain.

5. A secondary block most likely will be               needed in order to secure the beam to the     ceiling. 

8. Slide the beam over the mounting blocks.

6. Place painters tap outside of the blocks to       mark their location.

9. Nail or screw through the side of the beam       into the mounting blocks.
