You have arrived at the most innovative alternative to heavy, rigid, and hard to mount traditional steel beam brackets. These durable, lightweight, flexible ceiling beam straps are indistinguishable from solid metal ties without the unforgiving rigidity of forged steel. Being lightweight and flexible makes them a great fit with not only real wood beams, but also with high-density polyurethane foam beams. The brackets are made with a thin metal exterior and a high-density synthetic material as the interior layer which keeps the brackets lightweight and easy to mount onto ceiling beams. It also creates the look of a thick chunk of iron or steel without the weight and rigidity of heavy metal. The low cost with compared to having real steel and iron brackets forged makes these faux brackets a considerable option for most people. When redecorating, you could easily change out the bracket for a new color choice without breaking the bank. The brackets are easy to mount and come with hardware to secure them.
