Installation Guide
When a renovation calls for added texture without tearing out tongue-and-groove or plank paneling, faux ceiling beams can be layered on top to reshape the visual rhythm of the room. This article explains how installers evaluate the existing paneling, where the new beams can be anchored, and what finishing techniques make the pairing look deliberate.
