Faux for Exteriors
As you dream up ways to incorporate faux wood beams & panels in your exterior decor, keep the following design factors in mind. Placement - Where you choose to place the ceiling beams will depend greatly on the size of your dining room. Too many beams may result in your ceiling looking over-crowded. Not enough beams will make it look unfinished. Generally, the space between the beam should be wider on a smaller ceiling. Larger ceilings will require more beams spaced closer together. Faux panels will turn a wall or foundation from flat to fab. Our siding panels are ideal for outside use as home siding or even skirting for a modular home. If your space has a fireplace, considering adding a beam mantel of the same texture to visually tie the space together. Configuration - There are various options based on the area. A peaked roof can look amazing with the addition of a gable truss. Outdoor rooms can be warmed up by adding faux wood beams or columns.
Size & Shape - To make the most out of your space, focus on shapes and sizes. Thicker beams have a better place in larger areas, while thinner beams do more justice in smaller spaces. Color - With nature as your palette, the possibilities are endless. You don’t have to stick with a wood finish. Consider ordering unfinished beams and painting or staining the beams to create the exact ambiance your working to capture. Get Installation Tips - Faux wood beams and faux stone and brick wall panels are light and easy to install with a ladder, screws and construction adhesive. Explore our installation guides to see how it’s done.

As with all decorative accents made from both wood and polyurethane, there is a small degree of expansion and contraction. However, our product lines will expand and contract half of what wood does. We recommend that you store your products in a room temperature area prior to installation.
