Our customers say... "We liked these so much in our ski house in Lake Tahoe that we ordered more! Now, the downstairs area of our house is homier, cozier, and definitely more beautiful. These look great."
Sandblasted Ceiling Beams bring a calm unity to your home décor with their smooth classic form.
We start with an actual real wood beam. We then sandblast that real wooden beam to raise the grain more pronounced. The final step is to make a high-quality mold out of the distressed real wood beam, perfectly copying all of the characteristics of the real wood beam.
Important! Any Timber or Sandblasted Beams and/or Corbels intended to be used in an exterior application needs to be top coated with a high quality clear coat exterior polyurethane with a UV inhibitor to protect the stain from fading.
They are great when installed and finally done. Only 2 issues.
First we ordered 5 beams. They came in one (1) package of 4 and a single package of 1. We told the person at our house to expect 5 beams but when she saw only two packages, she was confused and almost refused acceptance. At the time of order acknowledgement, there should be a description of how they will be packaged for shipping.
Second, and maybe we missd this, they did not accept a direct stain. We had to paint them first and then apply stain to get the color we wanted. They are perfect just not as simple as we thought.
Other than that - PERFECT!!!

Easy to use and looks like the real thing.(May 7, 2010)
The order arrived when and as stated. The beams are easily cut and installed. The hardest part of the job is installing the wooden blocks needed to nail the beams onto the ceiling. The instructions were clear and had illustrations.
One additional product that would be a huge help is "filler" matching the beam color to fill in the nail holes. I found I had to mix a couple colors to get one that would not be obvious.

Great product(Feb 11, 2010)
I love faux wood beams. I'm an interior designer and spec these beams all of the time. Easy to install, easy to buy and order on-line and/or over the phone, fast delivery, and great customer service. The only bummer is that it doesn't come in longer lengths.

The beams are absolutely stunning.(Feb 25, 2009)
We ordered THREE Unfinished Sandblasted Beams sized W 8" x H 6" x L 16' for our family room's cathedral ceiling that measures 23 feet high in hopes of the perfect finishing touch in creating a cozy atmosphere in a grand space. Please notice the slanted/angled ceilings in our space. The beams are absolutely stunning. The dark mahogany stain that so meticulously matches the remainder of the houses wood finishes helps the modern flow of our home. They look SO real. We have received numerous compliments about the beams. EVERYONE'S mouth drops when we tell them that they are faux. They respond, "You mean they are NOT real wood?". 95% of the time our guests do not believe us until we show them a piece of the remainder cut portions. We have already recommended Fauxwoodbeams.com.

Easier (and lighter) than it's 16ft wood counterpart(Dec 18, 2008)
The biggest attraction was having a single light beam to span a 16' 6" span 14 feet off the floor. The installation was simple for 2 people and it was easy to sand the edges to make the piece fit up the sides of the wall. I can't image the weight and difficulty of installing a real wood beam - plus I never had to move the pool table!

We have a large country kitchen. The beams were the perfect finishing touch to our remodeling.
