ADDITIONAL MATERIAL

2x4 Sanded Smooth Lumber Board - used for framing to secure the beams.

(The 2x4 can be cut into smaller blocks and installed onto the ceiling every 3 to 6

feet to provide a secure platform for the beams to attach to.)

Before installation, acclimate the beams to the application site for at least 24 hours.

Open the box and let the beams “breathe”.

For most applications, toggle bolts are recommended to secure to the wood blocks or

boards to ceiling.

FAUX WOOD BEAM INSTALLATION Step 1 Measure inside width of the beam. If the 2x4 board or blocks are larger than the inside dimensions of beam, measure and rip down to needed size. (fig. 1) Step 2 Determine where the beam will be installed. If installing multiple beams, determine your spacing. Step 3 Once you have determined installation points and spacing, mark the center points along both sides of the wall using a chalk line to connect the marks.
