Announcer: “When the Weekend Makeover crew hit the road, we discovered what happens when plastic ceiling beams and polyurethane come together.”
“Wood ceiling beams can add character to any room but they’re so impractical that most home owners don’t even consider them an option. The good news is that by using materials such as polyurethane, companies like Fauxwoodbeams.com have opened up a whole new world to builders and consumers.”
Steve Barron: ”Polyurethane is extremely light weight, it’s inexpensive and it’s also interior or exterior product. It doesn’t fade, doesn’t split, doesn’t crack, doesn’t warp, won’t rot and it’s pretty much pest proof. Termites or birds will not be interested in this product. Once you put this product up, you’ll never have to worry about it again.”
Announcer: “And while wood beams require an entire crew to install, faux wood beams are a breeze.”
Steve Barron: “I usually tell people, if you can use a screw gun, you can install our faux beams.”
Announcer: “One of the reasons is its weight. Faux wood beams are light enough that two people can install them. Another reason is its ” U” shaped design.”
Steve Barron: “Well, the first step in installing our faux beams is you would want to mount some blocks of wood on your ceiling, approximately every three feet apart. And you would slide our beam over those blocks of wood and secure them with screws through the side of our beam. So basically the screws go through our beam into the blocks of wood….and that secures them up on your ceiling.”
Announcer: “To create their product Fauxwoodbeams.com takes real wood beams and makes molds of them. Then they pour polyurethane into those molds. What you get is an exact replica of the timber beam including cracks and knots.”
Steve Barron: “So we have many different styles to choose from.- anywhere from our very rustic looking beam we offer which would possibly be hand hewn or axe hewn and we also have more formal looking styles such as our very smooth beam that has absolutely no wood graining to it at all.” Fauxwoodbeams.com 800-651-4223.
