Elegant and Affordable Solutions for Any Ceiling
Faux wood beams can come in many forms. Adding these beams is a practical way to add warmth, beauty, and visual appeal to ceilings and walls without the weight and expense of traditional solid beams.
While there are thousands of manufactured faux wood beams on the market today, these can lack the authenticity and real wood texture of a faux beam made with real antique wood. At Whole Log Reclaimed, all of our faux beam wraps are made of real wood that our team crafts in Western North Carolina from reclaimed and upcycled antique heart pine, antique oak and varieties of mixed hardwoods.
Due to confusion over the term “faux wood beams”, we officially call our beams “box beams” since they are all authentic wood crafted into beam wraps.
Why Choose Antique & Reclaimed Wood Faux Beams?
The Perfect Blend of Style and Practicality
Our reclaimed wood faux beams offer the timeless beauty of real wood with all the advantages of antique and reclaimed materials. Unlike manufactured alternatives, our beams are crafted from authentic, aged wood, giving them a rich character and history that can't be replicated. These beams provide the look and feel of traditional wooden beams but without the weight, cost, or environmental impact of newly harvested timber.
With different finishes to match your desired aesthetic, our circle sawn, band sawn, smooth, and hand hewn beam wraps can provide anything from a rustic, weathered look to a more refined and modern smooth finish, allowing you to tailor them perfectly to your space. The natural variations in old growth wood mean each beam is unique, adding a distinctive touch to your project.
In addition to their aesthetic appeal, our beams are lightweight and easy to install, making them suitable for any ceiling type. Their durability ensures they will stand the test of time, offering a sustainable, low-maintenance option that enhances any room's character.
Versatile Uses for Every Room
Living Rooms: Create a cozy, rustic ambiance.
Kitchens: Add warmth and charm with overhead beams.
Bedrooms: Enhance the ceiling with decorative faux beams.
Commercial Spaces: Elevate the aesthetic of restaurants, hotels, and offices.
Ease of Installation
Faux wood beams can be hung in an empty space, wrapped around steel columns or unsightly structural elements such as plumbing pipes or duct work. This makes them a practical solution for many use cases. They are also lighter and easier to install than solid wood beams. See our installation videos for a demonstration. Our experts are always happy to advise customers and builders on proper installation.
Box Beams aka Faux Beams
As we mentioned at the outset, we officially call our beam wraps “box beams,” though they are also widely known as “faux beams.” This terminology can sometimes be confusing, but rest assured, our faux beams are anything but artificial. Crafted from authentic, reclaimed wood, our beams deliver the timeless beauty and structural integrity of real wood, offering a sustainable and environmentally friendly choice. Whether you refer to them as box beams or faux beams, you can trust that you’re getting the genuine article, designed to enhance your space with the warmth and character of reclaimed wood.
