Tongue & Groove Paneling

1) Are there other woods that I have already chosen or a wood that I intend to use in the interior spaces?

2) How much light do I have entering through the windows?

3) Are there walls you would like to be a focal point when entering a room?

4) Is there a desire to dramatize a length of a room? Or the height of a ceiling?

5) Is your project a seasonal home?

Beginning with consideration for ceiling applications, wood is most often used in a large expanse such as a cathedral ceiling, or in flat ceilings that are at least 9’ high.  It is in these applications that wood can be best appreciated for its beauty and also offers lower maintenance than many other finish options, especially in seasonal homes as they often experience great temperature and humidity swings.  Wood ceilings typically are lighter in color, with Pine and Cedar the most popular choices due to their lower costs.  Coordinating wood beams or trusses with a wood ceiling will make for a dramatic statement and a warm, cozy atmosphere.

In wall applications, begin by asking where to use wood and “what specie do I consider?” These can be best answered by including your potential choices in wood cabinetry and wood flooring.  For some homeowners, wood is the preferred choice for use in wall, ceiling and floor applications.  Others desire to use a wood and drywall combination, using wood on 1 or 2 walls in a room to create a focal point in a room or installing wood in a wainscot application.  In many cases this combination offers the best solution as the drywall introduces color into the area and helps emphasize the full beauty of the wood.

When required, repainting the drywall areas can greatly change the overall look without having to do anything with the wall paneling.  If you are considering wood cabinetry or wood flooring it is good to coordinate this decision, as some woods work better together than others when using in the same area.

For assistance, contact one of our wood specialists today, we would be happy to help and offer ideas to consider when coordinating different woods together.
