The ceiling, which some designers say is the fifth wall of a room, can be the center of attention. When the ceiling is made of laminate wood planks, also called panels, it can be a striking addition and transform an ordinary room to extraordinary. A wood plank ceiling can add a charming contrast in a stark contemporary setting, or complete the look in a country-style room.
Today’s plank ceiling systems are designed for a do-it-yourselfer to install. The system includes random length tongue-and-groove planks that you secure onto wood furring strips or in a metal track designed to suspend them.
