Designed for those seeking rustic warmth and depth in ceiling decoration, the P1981I model is an innovative architectural element that eliminates the heavy weight and maintenance hassles of traditional wood logs. This decorative faux rafter infuses spaces with the natural charm of a cozy mountain cabin or a historic mansion. Thanks to its highly realistic surface texture, it perfectly mimics load-bearing timber beams, adding distinct character to interior design projects.
In terms of technical specifications, this slim profile features an 80x80 mm cross-section and a length of 3000 mm, manufactured from high-density rigid polyurethane (150-220 kg/m³). Thanks to its closed-cell structure, its water absorption rate is below 1%, preventing swelling, cracking, or rotting even in high-humidity environments. With dimensional stability tested between -20 °C and +70 °C, the product boasts high dimensional stability, ensuring it will not warp or expand over time.
Visually, the beam stands out with its deep wood grains, natural knots, and distressed timber texture. Delivered with a factory-applied primer, it offers a surface ready for the final topcoat. While the factory primer enhances paint adhesion, applying an additional primer coat is optional and left to the user's preference, especially considering warranty conditions of specific paint manufacturers. The product can be easily painted with water-based or synthetic paints. For outdoor applications, using UV-resistant paint is mandatory to protect against sunlight exposure.
With a wide range of applications, this decorative faux beam is ideal for partitioning or framing ceilings, particularly in restaurants, hotel lobbies, cafes, and high-ceilinged living rooms. Thanks to its lightweight structure, it can be installed even on drywall ceilings without adding extra static load. Additionally, it can serve as an aesthetic accent on covered veranda ceilings of rustic villas, as decorative mantel shelves over fireplaces, or under exterior eaves.
During installation, Polure Polfix adhesive should be applied to the cleaned surface, followed by screws for mechanical fastening. Once joints and screw holes are filled and sanded, the painting process can begin. Offering effortless transport and installation compared to heavy timber alternatives, this lightweight polyurethane element provides a long-lasting, maintenance-free, and pest-resistant decorative solution.
