A decorative beam that creates the appearance of timber without using a solid structural wood beam. Ours are made as a custom U-shaped profile — three finished faces that fit over your ceiling — designed for decorative ceiling and interior applications.

Polyurethane. It is moulded and finished to reproduce the appearance and texture of timber, and is used here as an interior decorative element.

No. It is a faux wood product that reproduces the look of timber, giving you a rustic or architectural wood-beam finish without installing solid timber.

No. It is a decorative architectural feature, not a load-bearing beam. It must never be used to support any structural load.

No. The beam cannot carry the weight or the movement of a fan, and heavier hanging lights should not be fixed to it either. If a fan sits within your beam design, it needs its own structural fixing to the ceiling structure, independent of the beam.

It is a hollow U-shaped profile, open at the back. This is what allows it to be fitted over a support frame and, where properly planned, to conceal certain services.

It is designed to produce a convincing wood-beam appearance, with visible timber-style grain and irregular texture. The final realism depends on the model, colour, lighting and viewing distance you choose.

Beams are made to order. Dimensions are quoted as Height × Width × Height × Length, matching the three faces of the U-profile — for example, 100mm × 150mm × 100mm.

Yes. Beams are custom-fabricated to your dimensions, subject to manufacturing feasibility. Send us your intended size and we will confirm it before ordering.

2400mm per piece. Runs longer than 2400mm require more than one piece.

Multiple pieces are used and there will be a joint line where they meet. Plan the joint position as part of the design rather than leaving it to chance.

Not completely. Where pieces are connected, a joint line may remain slightly visible depending on texture, colour and viewing angle. Our installers position and finish it as neatly as possible.

Decorative faux iron straps are a popular option and are often placed at joint positions, where they read as a design detail rather than a repair. How well a strap conceals a particular connection depends on the beam design and where the joint falls, so the strap positions should be planned together with the beam layout.

Not necessarily. The beam is itself the ceiling feature. The installation method depends on your existing ceiling and mounting condition.

Yes, depending on the installation detail and ceiling condition. The final mounting method and any drilling requirements are checked against the actual site before installation.

Before your lighting positions and final ceiling layout are locked in. This matters most if you want downlights or other fittings installed through the beams.

Yes. It is simply easier when planned during renovation, because ceiling lights, wiring, fans and built-in carpentry can be coordinated around the beam layout rather than worked around afterwards.

Yes. Adding them during renovation is easier for the same reason — lighting, electrical points and ceiling layout can all be planned together.

Yes. We cut light openings into the beam and can install the fittings for you. Give us the light fitting model and dimensions before fabrication, as openings are cut to your specific fitting and must clear the beam edges and joints.

Yes, provided the beam dimensions, fitting size, electrical points and hole positions are coordinated beforehand.

Yes. The U-profile creates internal space for the lighting wiring. The wiring route and light positions should be agreed before the beams are fabricated.

Yes, as a decorative ceiling feature. Plan the beam layout together with your lighting, fan and ceiling design so the finished room does not look visually crowded.

• Living rooms
• Dining areas
• Open-plan living and dining spaces
• Bedrooms
• Feature ceilings
• Entrances
• Commercial interiors

Yes, subject to your preferred style and ceiling height. Lighter wood tones or fewer beams create a less visually heavy effect in smaller rooms.

Yes. Dining areas work particularly well when the beam arrangement is coordinated with the dining table and the pendant or ceiling lighting.

Polyurethane is not timber, so it is not a food source for termites in the way natural wood is. Note that beams are fitted over a timber support frame, so normal termite precautions for your home still apply.

Polyurethane does not absorb water or swell the way natural timber does, which makes the beams well suited to Singapore's humidity. They are still an interior product — for bathrooms, balconies or any location with direct water exposure, please check with us first.

Fire performance depends on the specific product grade supplied. For commercial, F&B or other regulated premises, please request the fire documentation from us before specifying, as those projects may be subject to fire-safety requirements that a residential installation is not.

Remove surface dust with a soft dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents and scouring pads, which can damage the printed timber finish.

PU faux beams are covered by a 10-year product warranty against manufacturing defects, covering abnormal cracking, warping and material failure under normal indoor use.

The warranty does not cover:

• Impact damage, misuse or accidental damage
• Water damage, or use in bathrooms, balconies or other locations outside the approved indoor application
• Loads applied to the beam, including ceiling fans and hanging fittings
• Alteration, drilling or repainting carried out by others after installation
• Damage caused by other trades or by third-party electrical work
• Beams installed by a party other than PanelCraft — supply-only orders carry the product warranty only
