Installing a tongue and groove ceiling costs $2 to $3 per square foot using unfinished wood and an extra $1 to $3 per square foot if hiring your local handyman.
Simply so, can you use tongue-and-groove flooring on the ceiling?
Installing tongue-and-groove planks to your ceiling is an inexpensive method to panel your ceiling. This can be done as a DIY project with the help of another person. Tongue and grove or T&G can be installed directly over bare wood framing, plaster or drywall to spruce up the look.
Besides, what is the difference in shiplap and tongue and groove?
Shiplap panels overlap, while tongue and groove panels interlock. Due to the way shiplap panels connect, they are a better option for high-heat, low-humidity climates. Wood often shrinks in dry climates, and shrinkage is less likely to show with shiplap because it overlaps instead of interlocks.
