We are excited to offer this new color to our Woodland Beams, Corbels and Mantels . For years, we have been providing unfinished beams so you can stain then yourselves, as well as offering our beams finely finished in color "Walnut"

We have heard your requests for another option. The most common request was for a color that resembled Cedar beams.

The new color “Cedar” has been added to the Custom Woodland Beams, Custom Woodland Mantels, and Mojave Mantels.

Woodland accessories such as kneebraces and corbels, now also have the option of cedar color.

Placing straps on beams

Beam straps can be used to cover up seams on a beam, or they can even be a decorative element. We will show you a few ways that straps can be creatively used in a few different situations you may come across, as you are installing your beams.

A seam in the middle of the room

1. In this situation, you have two separate beams that you are running across your ceiling, you can place a strap in-between them to make them appear as one long beam.

A seam that is off centered in the room

2. In this situation, you can place one strap over the seam, and then another one on the opposite side of the beam to balance out the look.

After

A large beam centered in the room with smaller peices on either side

3. When want a symmetrical look and prefer not to have a strap in the center of the room, you can place two shorter beams on each end, then place straps over the seams.

Adding straps, solely as a decorative element

4. If your beam spanning completely between the two walls, you may choose to place straps at each end of the beams as not to reveal the edges of the beam that are butting up against the wall.
