Creating a Log Cabin Ceiling with WoodHaven’s Log Paneling

Whether you’re transforming an existing home into a log cabin with new log paneling or building your own custom cabin-style home, don’t forget about your “fifth wall!” Could you imagine a home with all wood walls and flooring, but a standard popcorn ceiling? YUCK! For the true log cabin look, a proper wood ceiling is a must. So how do you get it done?

The Easiest Way to Create Wood Ceilings

WoodHaven’s log paneling is the easiest way to transform your current ceiling into a log cabin ceiling. Our wood panels can be installed right on top of your existing drywall, meaning there’s no prep work! Each panel is constructed with our special EZ Loc tongue and grooves on every side of each board. One board’s tongue fits into the next board’s groove, holding them together and making the installation process a breeze! Plus you’ll cut down on wasted wood. Learn more benefits of tongue and groove here. Our paneling can also be ordered completely prefinished and ready to install right out of the box.

Wood Walls Add Dimension to Your Space

Flat walls look flat, while even the subtlest texture of wood boards will add a sense of dimension to your ceilings. It may make the height of the ceiling ever-so-shorter, but the room will feel much cozier and inviting. It really completes the “cozy cabin feeling.”

Taking Your Wood Ceilings to The Next Level

Don’t settle for boring! Your wood ceiling doesn’t have to come in the standard flat shape! Could a vaulted or cathedral-style ceiling be for you? How about log trusses? These are a few ways to bring style and extra dimension to your space.

Vaulted ceilings are simply any ceiling that angles up toward the roof instead of being flat. Cathedral ceilings are a special style that includes two sloped walls that meet evenly at a ridge in the middle. Trusses are used to give vaulted ceilings additional support, and typically go a long way in lending to the traditional log cabin feel. WoodHaven does offer custom log trusses, so mention trusses to your WoodHaven sales consultant if you’re interested.

Wood Ceilings Offer Extra Insulation Opportunities!

Did you know that WoodHaven wood paneling is also a great option for increasing your home’s insulation? Because our wood goes over your conventional frame, you can insulate it with anything from fiberglass batts to spray foams. Talk about an extra bonus!
