The Tuscany texture has a gently weathered appearance with softened wood character that evokes aged European timber. Compared with the pronounced tool marks of Hand Hewn or the linear saw marks of Rough Sawn, Tuscany provides an Old World look with a somewhat more refined surface.
Tuscany beams are especially well suited to Mediterranean, Tuscan, Old World, rustic, and transitional interiors. Their weathered wood character can complement materials such as natural stone, plaster, tile, wrought-iron details, and warm wood finishes without requiring actual aged timber.
Yes. The weathered timber appearance can provide a natural visual counterpoint to stone fireplaces, masonry walls, brick, and other textured architectural materials. Pairing these materials can help create the layered, established appearance commonly associated with Mediterranean and Old World interiors.
Yes. Artisan Series Tuscany beams are made from water-resistant HDU and are suitable for interior or exterior decorative applications. They can bring an aged-timber appearance to covered patios, porches, entry areas, and other exterior architectural designs without the rot, cracking, or insect concerns associated with natural lumber.
The Tuscany texture is available primed or in multiple factory-finished wood tones, including Dark Walnut, Driftwood, Espresso, Gray, Ledgewood, Light Walnut, Mahogany, Oak, and White Oak. This range makes it possible to keep the distinctive Tuscany texture while selecting a tone that coordinates with the other materials in the space.
