Discover the various kinds of ceiling panelling and some cutting-edge design concepts for stunning ceilings.
In order to produce a decorative finish, ceiling panelling is the use of panels, planks, battens, or boards that are installed on the ceiling surface in a variety of patterns and styles. This method has been used for centuries to add texture and improve the appearance of ceilings and interior spaces overall in both residential and business settings.
Additionally, they can be used to cover up flaws like roof cracks or water damage stains. They are typically made of MDF or natural wood, which can be painted or stained to match the design and give the room the appearance you want. There are numerous ceiling panelling choices available.
The different types of Ceiling Panelling
Tongue and Groove: Interlocking boards with a tongue on one side and a groove on the other make up tongue and groove ceiling panelling. This layout makes installation simple and guarantees that the boards fit together firmly and securely, producing a uniform appearance. This form of ceiling panelling can be made using lining boards and Intrim VJ Panelling (timber sheets).
Coffered: Square or rectangle recessed panels are spaced apart by beams in coffered ceilings. They are a chic and sophisticated way to give a space depth and elegance. Although they are quite formal and traditional, they can be incorporated into a wide range of Australian homes and can be made to your desired depth based on your personal preferences despite the wide variety of architectural designs available today. This style of ceiling can be made using a variety of timber mouldings. To discuss your desired appearance, get in touch with one of our design consultants.
Geometric pattern panelling: A contemporary and original method to add interest to the space is with geometric panelling. It features repeating ceiling patterns made of geometric shapes like triangles, squares, and hexagons and looks great in modern or eclectic-style houses.
Exposed beams: In coastal, farmhouse, rustic, or industrial-style residences, exposed beams are a wonderful way to add warmth and texture to a space.

Ceiling battens: Ceiling battens are a kind of wood moulding with various designs that are used to make patterns on painted ceilings. To achieve the desired appearance, choose from the numerous designs and patterns of wall and ceiling battens offered by Intrim.
Design ideas for ceiling panelling using timber mouldings
VJ panelling or lining boards can be used to give the ceiling flair and personality. Tongue and groove Intrim VJ Paneling and Lining Board complement houses in the Hampton, coastal, modern, or even country/farmhouse styles. In order to add warmth to the living/dining area and the bedroom of their lake house renovation, Kirsty and Jesse used VJ board pro 150 to construct ceiling panelling.

Timber mouldings can be used to achieve the classic coffered ceiling appearance. A Cape Cod-style home’s coffered ceiling was made by Rachel Turner using SK323 curved profile, DAR battens, and CM14 cornice mould.
Utilizing the wall and ceiling battens from Intrim Casa Trim, create a distinctive appearance with curves and detailing. In their most recent job, House 15, Three Birds Renovations used WB42a and 42b wall and ceiling battens in the kitchen, living room, and dining area. The space’s looks were elevated significantly by the curves. In addition, these ceiling battens contributed to the optical illusion that a space is longer. Any type of interior area can be given a contemporary and chic appearance by using these adaptable battens. By ordering samples of the timber mouldings that were used, you can envision how House 15 will appear.

Adding curves to the roof gives the walls and ceiling style and depth. Your home will have a unique appearance if the ceiling panels are made of curved wood mouldings. In order to obtain the desired luxurious finish, Astina Suites, a new luxury service, used Intrim concave and half round profiles.
