Whether you’re painting hollow artificial beams or solid wood structures, this guide explains how to transform painted beams with a wood effect.
There's nothing more charming than ceiling beams, but how do you achieve an authentic oak effect if they've already been painted? Luckily, you don't have to replace the timber or go through the pain, mess and expense of stripping them. All you need is high-quality paint from the Lazy Range and Browning Wax to achieve, what has become known as the Frenchic Beam Hack!
Whether you're wondering how to transform artificial beams that box in RSJs and pipework, or have painted, traditional solid wood beams, our talented brand ambassador Craig Phillips covers everything you need to know about refreshing your canopy space.
Solid wood beams usually have plenty of surface texture and character which makes the transformation easy and very effective. But in this guide, we'll also reveal some easy-to-follow methods of turning plain, box beams, into gorgeous architectural features.
What you’ll need
• Sugar Soap
• Cleaning products, including sponges and bowls
• Suitable paint (Craig uses Crème De La Crème from the self-priming Lazy Range)
• Frenchic Browning Wax
• Paint brush and something to apply the wax (Craig uses a wax brush)
• If you have a box beam – sharp tools, including a bradawl, hammer, chisel, saw, block plane and collection of nails
