A truss is a frame that supports the ceiling. These can be triangular-shaped, curving, or squared off. They have a bit more detail and support than a standard rafter or beam. Faux beam trusses are meant to mimic the functional trusses, but rather than support the ceiling, they're purely decorative.
Exposed wood adds a rustic, cozy, charming feel to a home, whether you favor vintage design elements or a modern look. They can make a bland high ceiling look more interesting, add a touch of class to an older home, or give an inviting feel to a cozy living room. Genuine wood is really costly, which is why faux beam trusses can be such a great addition to a house. You'll get all the benefits without the high expense. Keep in mind that adding real wood trusses is often impossible. They're too heavy a load for what your ceiling can safely support. Faux beams are usually made from lightweight foam that won't cause any damage to the structure of your house.
