When it comes to adding character, warmth, and architectural interest to a space, few design elements are as impactful as wood beams. But choosing the right material comes down to the needs of your project—and we’re here to help you weigh your options.
At Great American Spaces, we offer two trusted solutions: Premium Engineered Wood Beams and Fypon® Foam Beams. Both bring style and substance, but with distinct advantages depending on your space, timeline, and budget.
Premium Engineered Wood Beams and Mantels
These are crafted for projects where authenticity and precision matter most. Each beam is custom-built to your specifications—just tell us the size and surface you need, and we’ll deliver a one-of-a-kind piece that elevates your space. What sets them apart:
Custom Built: Quoted per project with furniture-quality joinery and finish work.
Premium Real Wood Surface: Each beam features a natural wood veneer that provides the warmth and texture of genuine wood, enhancing spaces with rustic charm or modern character.
Install-Ready with No Additional Finish Work: Available in five premium real wood surfaces—Weathered Wood, Walnut, White Oak, Toasted Maple, and Matte Black—these box beams offer consistent, high-quality appearance straight out of the box. Prefer to customize? Unfinished options are also available.
Lightweight & Easy to Install: Hollow box construction ensures simplified handling and mounting.
