What are SmartBeams?

SmartBeams are precision-engineered “faux” beams designed to replicate the beauty of reclaimed beams while offering superior performance over traditional solid timbers and trusses. They are made with real wood so there is nothing faux about it.

Each SmartBeam is meticulously constructed from hand-selected, premium real wood, carefully sized, and assembled for exceptional durability, aesthetic appeal, and ease of installation.

Available in finishes including saw mark, smooth, and wire-brushed textures, our beams feature consistent color and beautiful color variations that mimic reclaimed lumber, ensuring they seamlessly complement your project’s unique style.
