The P1981HKA is a specialized decorative element engineered to provide a realistic finish for faux timber installations. Designed specifically to seal the exposed ends of hollow decorative ceiling beams, this component replicates the authentic appearance of solid cut wood. It successfully bridges the gap between traditional rustic charm and modern material technology, resolving the structural and aesthetic challenges of open-ended beam designs.
Measuring 104x100x30 mm, this compact cap is ideally proportioned for small to medium-scale beam profiles. It is molded from high-density rigid polyurethane, boasting a density of 150-220 kg/m³ that yields a solid, wood-like hardness while remaining remarkably lightweight. Architecturally stable, its dimensional stability has been tested between -20 °C and +70 °C without warping or shrinking. With a water absorption rate under 1%, the closed-cell structure prevents rot and degradation over its lifespan.
Visually, the product stands out due to its highly detailed surface texture. The face features prominent, realistic concentric growth rings that mimic the natural aging process of a tree trunk, while the outer edges display a rugged, hand-hewn texture. This intricate detailing ensures that once installed and painted, the cap is virtually indistinguishable from a genuine timber cross-section, adding depth and rustic character to any ceiling layout.
The P1981HKA is highly versatile, making it an excellent choice for country houses, mountain chalets, themed restaurants, and cozy residential living rooms. It can be used to cap ceiling joists, decorative wall-mounted timber corbels, or faux structural columns. Thanks to its superior moisture resistance, it is also suitable for covered outdoor settings, such as patio ceilings or porch beams, when finished with UV-resistant coatings.
Installing this lightweight cap is straightforward and far safer than mounting heavy plaster or solid wood alternatives. The process involves cleaning the mounting surface, applying a high-quality polyurethane (PU) assembly adhesive, and securing the piece mechanically with a screw. Once the adhesive cures, the screw hole and joints are filled, sanded, and prepared for painting. Unlike natural timber, it will not crack, splinter, or harbor pests over time.
The product is delivered with a factory-applied primer coat that prepares the surface for final finishing. However, because paint manufacturers typically do not guarantee paint adhesion without the use of their own proprietary priming products, the application of an additional primer is optional and remains the responsibility of the installer. Polure does not offer warranties on third-party paint applications or assume liability for finish durability.
