Decorative ceiling beams are a beautiful addition to any home, adding warmth, character, and architectural interest. At Volterra Architectural Products, our decorative faux beams are crafted for durability and ease of maintenance. While these beams require far less upkeep than real wood, a little regular care ensures they continue to look stunning for years to come. Follow these simple steps to maintain and clean your ceiling beams effectively.
Over time, dust and debris can settle on your decorative ceiling beams, especially those installed on high or vaulted ceilings. Regular dusting helps keep the beams looking clean and fresh. Use a long-handled duster or a soft microfiber cloth to gently wipe the surface of the beams. For hard-to-reach areas, a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment works perfectly to remove dust without damaging the finish.
For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth to wipe down the surface of your decorative faux beams. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning tools, as they can damage the finish or texture. Instead, lightly moisten a soft cloth with water or a mild soap solution and gently wipe the beams. Be sure to dry the beams immediately after cleaning to prevent moisture from settling.
Though rare, small stains or spots may occur over time. If this happens, gently spot-clean the area using a mixture of warm water and mild dish soap. Always test the solution on an inconspicuous area first to ensure it won’t affect the finish. For stubborn spots, consult with our team at Volterra for recommendations to maintain the beam’s integrity.
To keep your ceiling beams in top condition, inspect them periodically for any signs of wear or damage. While our decorative faux beams are designed to resist warping, cracking, and other issues, it’s good practice to check their surfaces and connections. Catching small issues early will help maintain their beauty for the long term.
Maintaining your decorative ceiling beams doesn’t require much effort, but regular dusting, occasional cleaning, and routine inspections will keep them looking flawless for years. At Volterra Architectural Products, our decorative faux beams are crafted with quality materials to ensure lasting beauty with minimal upkeep.
