Adding ceiling beams is one of the most impactful ways to define a room's architecture. For homes with vaulted or cathedral ceilings, our TimberThane™ and Heritage Series™ beams draw the eye upward, accentuating the height while adding warmth.
Homeowners often use our hollow beams to create complex truss systems (such as King Post, Queen Post, or Scissor Trusses) without the incredible weight of solid timber. Because our beams are sold in U-Shape, L-Shape, and Box profiles, they can be joined seamlessly to mimic structural supports in Great Rooms, kitchens, and entryways.
High-Density Polyurethane (HDP) has revolutionized ceiling design. Unlike solid wood, which can warp, twist, and check (crack) as it acclimates to your home's humidity, HDP is dimensionally stable and impervious to moisture, rot, and termites.
Visually, our faux wood beams are indistinguishable from the real thing. They are cast from molds of actual reclaimed barn wood, capturing unique details like axe marks, knot holes, and raised grain. However, if your project demands the authentic aroma and organic feel of nature, our True Wood™ Series offers kiln-dried White Oak, Pine, and Knotty Alder in a lightweight box construction.
