We installed it in march and it was too cold to pre stain.
Staining tongue and groove porch ceiling.
Tongue and groove ceiling from wooden material can be an excellent selection for creating a rustic look in your porch area.
When it comes to finishing a tongue and groove ceiling success has more to do with procedure than style.
In the example above the wood species that you see is knotty pine that gains color from a staining process.
Because seasonal movements in the wood create slight movement parts of the tongue tend to become exposed over time.
That would certainly have a stronger look against the wood back drop.
We have installed tongue and groove pine on the vaulted ceilings throughout our home.
If you go with wood you might want to switch out the fixture for a black iron version.
Tongue and groove ceilings are composed of interlocking lips intended to hide nails from sight.
An hvlp sprayer seems like it may be a tool worth exploring for this project rather than the daunting task of brushing.
The softness and vulnerability of pine can give it appeal on the floor but these same qualities can be problematic when applying a stain.
