Faux wood beams FAQ’s
Depending on the type of beams, lead times are:

Yes, faux wood beams are designed for both residential and commercial use. We carry an optional Class A fire rating on select faux wooden ceiling beams for commercial spaces.
No, faux wood beams are for decorative purposes only and are not designed to carry weight or provide structural support.
They are made to appear just like real wooden ceiling beams, but are made from a high-density foam. This makes them lighter than traditional wooden joists but not sturdy enough to provide support for the structure or to hold heavy amounts of weight.
To install faux wooden ceiling beams:
- Measure and mark your layout
- Secure 2×2 nailing strips or blocks to the ceiling
- Apply an adhesive and then attach the beam with screws or nails.
- Pre-drill for clean cuts, use the correct tools (saw, drill, tape measure), and fill any seams or holes for a polished finish.

Regular dusting or wiping with a soft cloth to remove dirt and dust is all that is needed for maintaining faux wooden beams. If they become dirty or have soot from a fireplace, you can clean them with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the surface.
