Types of Wood

Among the types of wood most used for making the lining are cedar - with a reddish color and practicality in the installation -, perobinha - yellow with brown color and also known as jatobá -, angelim -, with a very soft brown tone - and pinus - made with wood from reforestation, with a light color and good cost-benefit. These are considered the most resistant to the possibletermite attack.

According to representatives from Aguiar Correia Marcenaria, among these options, the most indicated is cedar wood, "due to the possibility of using it only with a sealer in its natural finishing, or even with a coat of paint.

What types of construction can it be used for?

According to architect Natalia Billa, when it comes to decoration, there are no rules, as long as it is a space that matches the personality and lifestyle of the residents, allowing from a more rustic look to more modern and contemporary designs, just let your creativity flow.

Among the professional's suggestions are a more masculine room with a dark wood ceiling tile, or even painted black, a beach house, using natural or white painted ceiling tiles.hanging lamps, spots or other decorative items. In short, the possibilities are many!

Natural wood vs. painted wood

The professional highlights the freedom of style allowed by this type of ceiling tile, which doesn't impose rules: "It depends a lot on the environment and on the decoration context, besides the client's personality, from the most classic ceiling tiles to the most unusual ones, such as, for example, a wooden lath painted blue", she reveals.

According to the architect, any environment can receive painted wood, there are no style restrictions, as long as it is suitable for each type of environment: "A bathroom, for example, needs special care when choosing the wood, finish, paint, or varnish, because of the humidity that this lining will receive," she warns.

Professional woodworkers reveal that a good treatment of wood can make it last for life, as long as it has no problems with termites when it is used. If there is an infestation, it is recommended to apply a poison for these parasites before using the wood for assembly, letting the termite killer act and, only then, apply varnish or seal and paint.

As for the painted wood, besides the adequate preparation of the wood (sanding it so that the paint can adhere to the surface) and the use of a good quality paint material, one must observe the environment where the ceiling tile is installed. In the case of an environment that has contact with humidity, a specific adequate paint is extremely important.

Environments that can receive wooden ceiling tiles

Whether in houses, houses of apartments, or apartments: the architect informs that there are no restrictions for the use of wood ceiling tiles, and they can be used indoors, such as in bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens, and bathrooms, or outdoors, such as on a cozy balcony.

How should the installation be done?

"The assembly of the wood ceiling tile should be done when the construction is almost finished, when the electrical circuits are ready", Natalia informs. For this, it is recommended to hire a specialized labor force, speeding up the process.

The roof structure can be flush or exposed, and it is there that the wooden planks will be fixed with the help of nails or screws.And then just install the lining, apply the varnish or seal and paint," teaches the representatives of Aguiar Correia carpentry.

How to conserve the wood ceiling paneling

To keep the lining beautiful and with a long durability, the carpentry professionals emphasize the attention to avoid a possible termite infestation, besides the maintenance in the beams every two years, applying varnish. "All wood that you treat has a long duration", they explain.

They also say that, in the case of painted wood, a little maintenance is needed every 2 years, with cleaning to remove possible mold accumulation due to humidity, especially in environments exposed to constant humidity, such as bathrooms and beach houses. If necessary, apply a varnish after cleaning.
