The biggest advantage that faux wood beams have over genuine wood beams is the low cost. The price of lumber continues to rise, making wooden additions more and more expensive. The cost will depend on the type of wood used, but in ceilings, oak is the most popular and most reliable. These oak beams can cost up to $10 a foot, meaning that the overall wood ceiling beam installation can cost thousands of dollars. Faux wood beams cost a lot less. At Decorative Ceiling Tiles, you'll find full-size 10 to 16-foot beams between $145 and $300 for the entire beam. Explore faux wood beam options and you'll find that the prices can't be beat.
