Ceilings are often overlooked when decorating a home, but by adding Faux Oak Ceiling Beams, this can change the look of a room completely. A question we often get asked is – Are faux beams cheaper than wood? The answer is yes, when you take into account the cost of the beam, the shipping and installation costs. Faux beams are so simple to install, making them the perfect choice for the DIYer. And not to forget that faux beams don’t have the same maintenance cost as real wood beams. Here’s why they are a great choice for your home:
1. Adds Character
Oak Beams can give any room a warming, rustic feel. Whether your home is modern or traditional, they can add a unique touch.
2. Lightweight and Easy to Install
Real wooden beams are heavy and often require a supporting structure to distribute the weight. Faux oak beams are much lighter, making the installation process quick and simple. You don’t need a builder – they can be fitted as a DIY project with basic tools.
3. Realistic
Our Faux oak beams are cast from actual oak timbers and then are hand stained and finished, giving the ultimate realistic finish.
4. Low Maintenance
Unlike real wood, faux oak beams don’t need treating or staining. They don’t warp or crack over time and can easily be cleaned with a damp cloth. Once installed, they stay looking great with little effort.
5. Works in Any Room
Faux oak beams look great in living rooms, kitchens and even bedrooms. They can make a high ceiling feel cosier or add interest to a low ceiling. They come in different shapes and sizes so there is sure to be something that works for your property.
Faux oak beams are an easy and affordable way to upgrade your home. They add charm, are simple to fit and need little maintenance. Ready to transform your space? Click here to explore our range of faux oak ceiling beams today!
