Polyurethane Wood Beam

A polyurethane wood beam is a polyurethane decorative ceiling beam with embossed wood texture that imitates a real wood beam. It is used in living room, kitchen, and attic ceilings to give a decorative beam appearance; it is not structural and serves a visual purpose. It usually has a hollow U-shaped cross-section and is installed by fitting it over the existing ceiling or a concealed support. Polyurethane is much lighter than a real wood beam, resistant to moisture and impact, does not rot, attract insects, crack, and can be painted; unlike a solid beam it can be carried by one person and applies quickly with assembly adhesive. Because it is mold-cast, the wood texture repeats identically on every piece. Polure manufactures the polyurethane wood beam in various cross-section and size options.
