Tongue And Groove Ceiling Lowes

Tongue And Groove Ceiling: Most of the tongue and groove you’ll find at home centers and lumberyards is 1×6 or 1×8 spruce. But other wood options and sizes can be special-ordered. Some boards are rough on one face and smooth on the other. Others, like the 1×8 boards used here, have a groove down the middle of one face to give the impression of more, narrower boards. Most stores carry a 1×4 beaded ceiling board as well.

These tips apply to any of the styles. Installing a tongue-and-groove paneled ceiling is possible as a one-person project, but parts of it are much easier with two people. The basic process involves cutting each piece so it fits nicely to any neighboring pieces and it ends, or “breaks,” over the center of a ceiling joist (or a roof rafter, on a cathedral or vaulted ceiling).

The planks are nailed directly to the framing with finish nails. Most of them are “face-nailed” through the tongues of the planks so that the nails are hidden by the grooved edges of the planks in the next row.

Tongue And Groove Pine Ceiling

• Assess your existing porch. What is the spacing of the existing framing? Is the framing covered? Does the roof have any leaks? Which way do you want to run the V-Groove?
• Next start by measuring the overall length and width of your porch to order materials. If you are running the ceiling in the short direction, divide the length of the porch by the width of each board. For example, if you have a 9′ deep porch 20′ long, you will need 46 rows at least 10′ long and the 10′ boards will be cut down to just under 9′. If you are running the long direction, divide the total square footage by the width of each board for the total lineal footage. Finally, add 15% to the total count for cuts and waste.
• Once the material arrives, determine the width of the first and last row. It will look much better if both rows are the same width. While you may luck out and have a full last row, ending with a 1” row is less ideal than starting and ending with two even 3” rows.
• Next, stain or seal the boards on sawhorses. Allow the V-Groove to dry overnight. While it may seem easier to finish them in place, remember that you will be working upside down and it will be hard to get a consistent finish in the grooves. Be sure to coat the tongue of the board as well.

Our pine wall paneling is not just some run-of-the-mill production paneling found in home centers or large lumberyards There’s no need to butt our end-matched paneling or siding on a stud like you would the “Old Way” with 12′, 14′ and 16 footers. Our knotty pine tongue and groove paneling significantly reduce the amount of measuring and cutting in each job. The results are 15-20% labor savings and up to 20% less material waste.

How To Install Tongue And Groove Ceiling

Attach Furring Strips to Ceiling

Fasten furring strips to the ceiling with the cordless framing nailer. These will act as nailers to attach your planks to.

Install Planks

Start with your first piece: groove facing the wall, tongue facing out. Use the framing gun to add a nail to the tongue of the plank and secure it in place. For the next piece, you will connect the groove of the new piece into the tongue of the first piece.

Secure Planks

Secure the planks by attaching a tapping block to the tongue and lightly hitting it with a hammer into the seam.

Cut Holes for Recessed Lighting

When you approach the holes in the ceiling for recessed lighting, be sure to accurately measure the location for the center of the light (Image 1). Continue planking the ceiling, then go back and cut a hole for the light using a 6-1/4” hole saw (Image 2).

What Kind Of Nails Do You Use For Tongue And Groove?

Drive the nails through the shoulder of the tongues into the framing at about a 45-degree angle. The next grooved edge will hide the nail holes. A 15- or 16-gauge brad nailer with 2-in. nails are the best choice for fastening, although an 18-gauge nailer will do the job, too.
