Decorative Beams, Panels, Truss Systems, Mantels, and Column Covers

Adding wood, stone, or masonry accents can dramatically change the look of a space, but time, cost, or even structural requirements can interfere. This course reviews the use of realistic, lightweight, cost-effective, and easy-to-install options for decorative faux elements. The performance, design options, and installation of high-density polyurethane panels, beams, truss systems, mantels, and column covers are examined.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Summarize the design advantages as well as the aesthetic and cost benefits of utilizing high-density polyurethane faux panels, beams, truss systems, mantels, and column covers.
  • Justify using high-density, closed-cell polyurethane products as valid alternatives to wood, brick, and stone products and discuss their resistance to weathering, termites and carpenter ants, and mold.
  • List suitable applications for faux products, noting that different products have different fire ratings and that products with Class A fire ratings can be used in accordance with national building codes, NFPA, and regional/local fire codes.
  • Outline the installation processes for faux panels, beams, column covers, and other products that ensure the safety of the installer and subsequent building users and occupants.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered via webinar or face-to-face presentation. Available sessions shown below.
