Faux Wood beams in Kitchen

16 years ago

I saw an article talking about an alternative to exposed wood beams in the kitchen. The article mentioned using faux wood beams made of styrofoam. Has anyone used one of these products and if so, does anyone have any pictures they can share or any suggestions of products to use or avoid?

I'm attaching the link to the article.

I saw a faux beam in an HGTV show and it looked fantastic. You could not tell the difference and it was very easy to install because it weighs almost nothing. You can also see pictures in Google-images if you search for "faux beam kitchen".

I am considering using faux beams for my home's ceiling. Any suggestions on what kind of faux beams should be used?
