Shiplap on the ceiling is beautiful and elevates the whole room. I personally am not a fan of drywall texture, so having the beautiful flat finish of shiplap looks really gorgeous and eye-catching. Speaking of texture, if you have popcorn ceilings, shiplap is a great and fast method for covering it up. Start on side of room that is most visible. Place first plank flush against wall and nail into ceiling with a finishing nailer.
If nailing into the drywall, insert nails at a slight angle and apply a small amount of construction adhesive to back of each plank with a caulk gun. Woods available in this style include red oak, white birch, white oak, white maple, beech, cedar, black walnut, poplar, white fir, carbonized bamboo, cherry, white ash, flat grain hemlock, alder, khaya mahogany, ipe and flat grain Douglas fir. Labor and installation will add to the cost of all materials mentioned in this article.
No, gypsum board is not required on the ceiling, unless 1 HOA requires gypsum board for fire protection, 2 local Planning Department requires it due to proximity encroachment to property lines, 3 you live in a building with more than 3 units. Installing beadboard on your ceiling will transform the look of your entire setting. A ceiling is the largest visible surface in a room, its expanse broken only by a light fixture or fan.
Unfinished standard wood beadboard can be painted to match or complement other trim in the room. Cut your beadboard panel to size if needed and cut holes for any light fixtures. Apply construction adhesive to the back of the panel. We recommend using or gauge finish or brad nails. Both gauges are strong enough to hold the lumber securely, but small enough as to not leave a large hole on the face of the board.
You can install shiplap directly to your studs to save on time, money, and mess. Shiplap is falling out of fashion.
Once used to waterproof boats, shiplap siding became a trendy way to decorate interior walls in the s. Street added that tile, plaster, rattan, or living walls of plants are becoming more popular this year, instead. When comparing the cost of shiplap vs sheetrock, you have to consider the materials used. Shiplap will almost always be more expensive than drywall depending on the materials used. In very few cases, these materials may be less expensive than drywall, but this is rather rare.
But the real trick is finishing the drywall to create a flat, seamless surface. In sharp contrast, pine wood tongue-and-groove paneling offers a tantalizing drywall alternative: a gorgeous natural-wood ceiling with an installation process that is far easier than drywall.
Running the new ceiling in the long direction will mean fewer cuts but also make keeping each row straight more critical. Check the existing wall condition. You may apply panels with adhesive directly to surfaces that are level, sound and clean. Nail directly into the studs when installing your paneling over existing paneling, wallpapered walls or surfaces which will not support adhesive. Sand down any protrusions in the wall for a smooth fit. There may be a need for some preparation. If one of the walls you are paneling has a doorway, remove the trim around the door by prying it off.
Also pry off the baseboard from the walls you will panel. All prices are in USD. Please wait Sign in or Create an account. While not a code, we recommend using a vapor barrier between the studs and the plywood paneling if there is spray foam insulation, since it adds another element of protection and preventative measures always cost less than repairs.
Spray foam insulation may contain some liquids or moisture that over time potentially could damage wood or promote the growth of mold.
If your walls are not plumb, add furring strips to create a level, grid-like surface. These steps will also provide additional rigidity to your wall. Starting at the top, space strips horizontally 16" apart, using shims to line them up for the true vertical plumb. Add a strip at the base. Starting in the corner, place vertical strips every four feet between your horizontal furring. Before you begin condition acclimate your panels to the room.
With all panels in the interior space where they will be installed, stand them individually along the long edge or lay them flat with wood sticks spaced between them so that air circulates around each panel. Let stand for at least 24 hours if installation is above grade and at least 48 hours if installation is below grade level. For all below grade applications, always use a vapor barrier between the outside walls and the studs. Remove all trim. Turn off the electricity before removing all receptacle covers.
Once the panels have been acclimated to the room, place your paneling around the room in an attractive arrangement of grain, pattern or color. Previewing this way is especially important when you usepanels with a definite direction in the pattern. Once you have a good aesthetic sequence, number the back of the panels in the order in which they will be attached to the wall.
Use a 2-inch foam brush to stain or paint the wall surfaces at the point where your panels will be joined, using a color which matches the edges or grooves of your panels. This will make the joints less noticeable. You will need to protect the floor from stain or paint.
