Ceiling material?

Hey everyone!

I’m curious what you guys use. Either tongue and grove 5/16” pine boards or the thin cheap bead board for your ceiling?

Thanks!!

I'm down in Brunswick - and am concerned about preventing mold/mildew since our area gets extreme heat/humidity levels. I am pretty certain I'm going with FRP panels of some flavor both in ceilings and walls.

My plan is a path down the center of the roof with luan about 2.5' wide and then t&g from there down to the floor. I hadn't seen 5/16" t&g, sounds easier to wrk with, though it doesn't need to bend.

1/4" or 5/16", not sure exactly how thick, but that is what Home Depot is selling these days. I was planning on going with the T&G for the ceiling, and cabinet doors / drawer fronts, and 1/4" cabinet grade ply for the walls...

I used 1/4" t&g pine screwed directly to the ceiling ribs. I'm 6'4" and ceiling height is important, so there was no room (short of a roof raise) for anything thicker! I got it a Lowes, the planks are 8' long and about 4" wide, and they are made by a company called Empire. The pine that I used was on closeout and discontinued, so I bought every piece they had. I think you can still get get it in cedar, but it is more $.

Can you post a pic showing the screw attachment? I want to attach directly to the ribs also, but don't want a million pieces of hardware showing.

This is a close up of the ceiling looking straight up. The screws are all countersunk, and unless you are looking straight up, they are not noticeable:

You can see the screws in the foreground in this shot, but they are not noticeable beyond that:

I was going to ask if you used self tappers, but see you predrilled and countersunk, correct.

Nicely done.

It looks like you screwed directly into the ribs.......do you ever have any condensation on the screw heads?

Yes, I drilled, countersunk, and used self tappers.

Not so far.I live in S Florida, so the swings in temperature aren't really bad. It just goes from hot and humid to hotter and humid!
