Faux Wood Workshop

2010 was a great year for Faux Wood Beams. Not only did we expand our catalog with a bunch of new and exciting products, we were lucky enough to receive a steady stream of good cheer and great project photos showing our customers’ creative design skills using our faux beams, mantels, corbels and more that uplifted their homes and our spirits.

And so we share a “year in review” of Faux Wood Beams and wish you and yours a happy holiday season with even better things to come in 2011.

A Year of Love…

for Rustic Beams

“Just What We Wanted. The instructions in the website for installation were right on which made installation easy… We are very happy with the product and it gave us the look we wanted in our great room. ” – Duane from Harrison, ME

for Sandblasted Beams

“We had been wanting beams in our living room for years and weren’t comfortable installing large, heavy pieces of lumber on the ceiling. We found this product online and were amazed at how realistic, light-weight and easy they were to install. Totally transformed our “blah” living room. Absolutely fantastic product.” – Jennifer from Wisconsin

for Rough Sawn Cove Corbels

“The faux wood has the look and feel of the real thing and holds paint like wood. At only a fraction of the weight as wood, the corbels are easy to install with construction adhesive and screws. They complete the craftsman look of the house…” – Michael Ayers, Ocean Park, WA

for Timber Beams

“Wish I had another house to install them in! My beams are beautiful. They are actually in the basement which has a “Tommy Bahama” feel to it. The beams fit in beautifully! I had a carpenter install them in a couple of hours. No mess…Easy and gorgeous. I really wish I had another location to install them in because they are really gorgeous, look amazingly real and are uberimpressive!” – Dania from Virginia

for Yellowstone Faux Wood Mantels

“I have got sooooooooo many compliments. Every one thinks it’s real!!! It was easy to stain and is very easy to install. The delivery was quick and well boxed!! Will buy again in a heartbeat !! Awesome !!!!”– Dina from Bakersfield, CA

It’s a cold, gray day today in Deer Park NY. One of those days you just want to throw on that Snuggie-thing and huddle around the fireplace if you’re lucky enough to have one.

If words like wind chill, bitter cold and probable snow showers are part of your everyday vocabulary during the winter months, then you’ll probably be spending a lot of time around that fireplace, and you’ll want it to look its best – especially for the holiday season.

The faux wood mantel looks beautiful and was easy to install onto my newly constructed hearth. The wood stove area in my log cabin, is the highlight of my home!

Faux wood fireplace mantels may be a good choice for you if you’re looking to spruce up the look of your fireplace design quickly and inexpensively without sacrificing your aesthetic. The average DIY’er can install one of these mantels in just a day – leaving you lots of time to decide what’s going ON the mantel, whether you want to display photos, awards, decorative pieces or anything else that conveys your sense of home.

Below are a few more examples of previous customers who installed faux wood mantels in their own homes.

Yellowstone Faux Wood Mantel

The mantel that I bought from you guys worked out wonderfully. Very good alternative to an expensive real wood beam…The stain applied easily and turned out amazing, you can’t tell it’s fake! - Luke M., Austin, TX Yellowstone Faux Wood Mantel

Bernadette from Sherwood Park, AB in Canada was getting growing increasingly frustrated in her search for an old barn beam to create a mantel that would coincide with her rustic tastes. Luckily, she had great results with the custom Woodland Mantel:

“I was getting very discouraged…until I came across your site. I ordered a mantle immediately and was completely surprised! We just finished and I think it looks amazing. No one knows it’s not the real thing.”
