wood look rafter

A wood look rafter is a polyurethane profile with a wood grain surface, used as a decorative rafter under roofs and eaves. Placed parallel to the roof pitch, it creates the look of a wood rafter; it is decorative rather than a real load-bearing element. The polyurethane material is lightweight and is applied with construction adhesive or screws; it resists moisture and impact, does not crack, swell, and can be painted. Unlike real wood, it does not rot, attract insects, or react to moisture outdoors. Because it is mold-produced, the wood texture repeats identically on every piece. Polure manufactures wood look rafters in a range of widths and lengths.
