Rough Sawn Faux Wood Beams

Size note:
Standard beams are listed in nominal sizes as WxHxL (with dimensions being 1/2″ less than indicated). If you intend to cover something with our beams, please contact us directly to discuss the appropriate size.

Lead time:
Typically, the lead time averages approximately 5-7 business days, depending on the order size.

Important Notes:
Custom color matching is available upon request. Stain work is hand-applied each time and may vary slightly from sample to sample, photo to photo, part to part, texture to texture, and batch to batch. Color shade may be lighter or darker than the sample or photo.

Rift Sawn beams are produced to order, with a typical lead time of 5–7 business days depending on quantity and finish. Shipping costs are based on beam length, order size, and delivery location. Longer beams may ship freight due to their dimensions. Each beam is carefully packaged to protect the clean grain pattern and hand-applied finish during transit. If you're ordering for a full ceiling layout, we’re happy to review logistics with you ahead of time.

Because these beams are cut to your selected dimensions and often finished to order, returns are generally not accepted once production begins. Keep in mind that standard sizes are nominal and measure ½″ less than listed. If you're wrapping an existing structural beam or building around framing, we recommend confirming interior dimensions with us before ordering. If a shipment arrives damaged, contact us immediately and we’ll take care of it.

Rift sawn grain patterns are known for their straight, linear appearance, which makes them ideal for modern, contemporary, and transitional interiors. Compared to heavily distressed or axed textures, this style offers a cleaner, more uniform look while still maintaining natural wood character. Designers often choose rift sawn beams for minimalist ceilings, open-concept living areas, and commercial spaces where subtle texture is preferred over rugged detailing.

Visually, they replicate the straight grain appearance associated with real rift-sawn lumber. Structurally, they offer several advantages. Made from high-density polyurethane, they won’t expand, contract, split, or crack with seasonal temperature changes. They’re also resistant to moisture and insects. You get the clean architectural look of rift-sawn wood without the weight, maintenance, or structural reinforcement typically required with solid timber beams.
