Reclaimed Wood Box Beams

Reclaimed mixed softwood box beams are an excellent alternative to traditional solid beams, especially when installing solid wood beams is impractical or too costly. These beams offer a rich, rustic aesthetic with deep tones of brown and amber that perfectly mimic the look of solid timber. Lightweight and versatile, they are ideal for ceiling beam projects, disguising unattractive ceiling beams or joists and adding unique cross-sections to enhance your ceiling design. Additionally, they make fantastic choices for fireplace mantels.

Also known as “faux” beams, these box beams are made from real wood reclaimed from old structures and barnwood beams. This old-growth wood, harvested from each building, brings the benefits of time-worn durability and a distinct patina from weathering. Each piece of reclaimed wood is carefully hand-selected for quality before being resawn, sanded, and kiln-dried to become the final product.

These hand-crafted box beams can seamlessly integrate into your home decor, creating a complete rustic look with ceiling beams and full ceiling paneling. The reclaimed wood features the charming characteristics of vintage wood, such as nail holes, Adze marks, and mortise pockets, enhancing its rustic appeal.

Our reclaimed mixed softwood box beams come in various wood species, including white oak, Douglas Fir, heart pine, and reclaimed barn wood. Faux beams can be ordered with 2, 3, or 4 sides, depending on your needs. When placing your order, it’s important to specify the number of sides required. For example, a beam to be flush mounted to the ceiling will need three sides, while a beam parallel to a wall will need two sides. A four-sided faux beam is necessary for a support column in the middle of a room to ensure all sides are visible.
