Hardwood Tongue and Groove Cladding fills the need for non-weather-exposed coverages, like ceilings and covered walls.
When weather exposure is not an installation condition, furring strips are not needed because moisture and sunlight pose no performance threat.
Using T&G to clad walls and ceilings can be a cost-effective alternative to RainScreen Siding. While RainScreen Siding is designed to perform well in full-weather exposure, Tongue and Groove hardwood products are best suited for areas that will not get heavy weather exposure. This is because the Tongue and Groove system does not offer much for airflow.
Aside from Porch Decking, T&G is a great system for,
- Interior Walls
- Exterior Walls that do not get full weather
- Ceilings (Interior/Exterior)
- Columns
- Doors
If you have a project where you’re not sure if T&G is the right solution, give us a call to discuss.
