Tongue and groove ceiling installation

Tongue and groove ceiling installation with WOODHAVEN planks

Installation information for two types of tongue and groove ceilings: WOODHAVEN Planks and COUNTRY CLASSIC Planks.

Cover popcorn, damaged drywall, and plaster ceilings with wood look ceiling planks - no scraping or sanding required! Tongue and groove ceiling planks are typically attached to an existing ceiling. WOODHAVEN ceilings can also be installed over a suspended grid system.

These MDF (medium density fiber board) tongue and groove planks are installed over furring strips with what comes in the box, with Easy Up tracks and clips, or with EASY UP clips over an existing 15/16” grid.
