A Faux Wood Beam Goes a Long Way

Posted By Volterra Sep 30, 2020

The ceiling of a generic building does not do much in the way of creating an appealing design or aesthetic. Whether it is a house or an office building, there are guaranteed to be many pipes, beams, and wires running all along each other near the ceiling, creating an unsightly and dull appearance. The faux wood beam can be incorporated to breathe some serious life into this layout. Faux materials might not sound much more exciting than generic materials, but the truth is that faux wood is a high-demand product that has become a staple for many builders and designers. Faux wood beams are created with the intention of copying every aspect of authentic wood beams, mirroring their natural beauty. Wood beams are used for holding a roof up, contributing not only durability, but also warm, enchanting ambiance. Faux beams evoke that same exact feeling, all while transforming the ceiling from a lackluster mess to an arrangement of breathtaking display. Another advantage of the faux beam is its hollow interior. This emptiness permits the strategic camouflage of any suspended fixtures that you don’t want visible. In fact, this benefit allows even greater freedom with installation. Speakers, lights, sprinklers, and more can fit into the easy-to-alter surface of faux beams, their wires and cables safely tucked inside. These beams will not create a mess or require intensive planning to be properly cut into for the sake of any additions. Volterra Architectural Products is an expert manufacturing company that understands the necessity of clean, beautiful building layouts. These master producers create faux beams out of a high-density polyurethane foam that never needs any special attention or care after being installed. The beams are also available in striking colors, such as the dark chocolate brown color of the Espresso, and real-wood textures such as the Doug Fir.
