WOOD WALLS & CEILINGS

Pine tongue and groove is great for walls and ceilings. T&G boards are milled with a protruding tongue on one edge of the board and a receiving groove on the opposite edge. These lock together on consecutive boards, creating a very tight, stable joint that can be milled with a wide array of patterns on the face to provide the perfect look for your project.

 
 

Our mill grades our Pine in two separate grades. This gives customers two options to match their needs:

 
 

The Run of the Mill- Our pine tongue and groove comes in what we call our popular Run of the the Mill grade at widths of 6", 8", and 10” and this is our most popular item available. The Run of the Mill tongue and groove and shiplap are available in eastern white pine, ponderosa pine, and occasionally in red pine. This option has plenty of character and knots in it, but it also has more missing knots, cracks, and things that amount to waste - depending on how you view it.

 
 

The Benchmark- We also carry what we call our Benchmark lumber. This Eastern White Pine is a much cleaner offering than our Run of the Mill and offers customers a beautiful product with less waste. The 1x6 and 1x8 boards are custom milled to the pattern of your choosing.

Tongue and Groove Wood Patterns:

V-GROOVE

The V-groove pattern with tongue and groove is a very popular option. When these boards are milled there is a 1/2 "V" cut into the edge of the joint. When two boards are connected the two halve "V"s form an actual V-shaped groove down the length of the board. Sometimes this is referred to as car siding, based on the historical installation of v-groove boards in old railroad cars.

Tongue and Groove Bead Board

BEADBOARD

Our edge and center bead is also a popular tongue and groove pattern. The beadboard pattern is created by cutting a recess and bead down the edge of the tongue and groove board. When the boards line up together they create the beaded effect down the edge. There is also a bead that runs down the middle of the board that adds more texture to the board.

SQUARE EDGE

A square edge on the tongue and groove gives it a shiplap look. Instead of a bead or a v being cut down the side of the board it is simply left square creating a flat surface when fitted together edge to edge.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

The lengths in packs will vary, but the most important thing to consider is that we try to discourage customers from expecting they’ll always be able to use full length boards. When you account for cracks, missing knots, and other board waste, you should expect butt-joints. Simply put, this is part of using lower grades of lumber. If you look at most every picture of our customers’ homes, you will see those character-filled boards and maybe even some missing knots installed in their homes.
