Faux steel beam connectors are decorative components used to finish joints, intersections, ends, and transitions in Industrial Series beam layouts. They help separate beam sections read as part of one coordinated fabricated-steel design while adding realistic plate and connection detailing.
Different connector configurations are available for specific points within a beam layout, including components designed for web connections, flange connections, angles, and plates. Selecting the appropriate connector allows the detailing to follow the direction and configuration of the adjoining faux steel beams.
Yes. Connector plates can be positioned at adjoining beam ends to visually finish the joint and create the appearance of a fabricated steel connection. This is particularly useful when multiple decorative beam sections are incorporated into a continuous architectural layout.
No. Faux steel connectors are decorative architectural components and should not be treated as structural steel connection plates. Their purpose is to reproduce the visual detailing of fabricated steel connections within a non-structural faux beam system.
Yes. Connector plates can incorporate decorative bolt or rivet-style hardware to strengthen the appearance of an assembled steel connection. The added hardware is visual rather than structural, allowing the connection point to contribute to the industrial character of the overall beam design.
