How Do You Install A Wood Plank Ceiling?

0

Wood plank ceilings are a great way to dress up a damaged or drab-looking plaster or drywall ceiling. The planks lock together on the sides like flooring planks, but they’re much lighter, and longer, so each plank can span the entire length of the ceiling (otherwise, you would have to worry about getting the ends of the planks lined up with the ceiling joists). Most ceiling planks come pre-finished. If they aren’t, you should finish them yourself before installation, rather than trying to stain and varnish upside-down. Locate all the ceiling joists, using an electronic stud locator. Draw lines across the ceiling with your level and pencil to show where each joist is positioned. Measure the ceiling along your starting wall (which must be a wall that’s perpendicular to direction of the joists). Cut a ceiling plank to the length of your measurement, using the miter saw. Set the plank on the ceiling with the grooved side facing the wall. Leave 1/4 inch of space between the edge of the plan
