Faux Wood Workshop

The latest addition to our line of Faux Wood Beams is the new Rustic 4-sided beams! One of our most popular beams now has the option 4 sides.

Rustic 4-sided beams are the perfect way to add a beautiful old-world style to your home. Since these beams have 4 sides, it makes them the perfect choice for making trusses.

An entry about straps? Why would we give that much attention to a little piece of rubber? Great question.  The answer?  For all the looks you can achieve with our Faux Beams, and how handy they are.

Reach for straps especially when you have two beams that you want to butt up to one another.

The strap hides the seam and you are left with the appearance of one long beam.

Plus it adds a surprising decorative element. They are so easy to cut to fit, and install.

Some ideas:

You can use the straps even when you don’t have a seam, just to achieve the look.

You can add straps to either end of the beam to give the look that the straps are holding the beam up.
