Wood Ceiling System: Five Main Reasons Why It is Chosen

by David Smith Relationships

Wood ceiling systems are one of the most common options when anyone is finishing the interior design of a building project. No matter which material is used in the remainder of the building, wood ceilings tend to be seen as a versatile material that adds plenty of value to the interior design work. There are five main reasons why wood ceilings tend to be chosen:

 

        They are very easy to install. One of the main reasons why wood ceilings are chosen is that they are super easy to install. Wood ceilings typically consist of wood panels, joined together with standard commercial false ceiling systems. This wood panel format enables easy and convenient transport and installation, which makes the interior design project as easy for the builder as possible.

        They have great acoustics. Beyond the easy installation, wood ceilings also tend to have great acoustics, compared to other materials. Wood is a very porous material that tends to function as a natural acoustic absorbent, and wood ceilings with wood acoustic panels with a perforated surface help reinforce the amount of acoustic absorption. Wood ceilings with wood acoustic panels help control the acoustic reverberation and cerry out the acoustic conditioning of the room.

        Insulation. Wood is known for being a great natural insulator. Due to the natural pockets of air within the grain of the wood, as well as the cellular structure of wood, both heat and cold are well stored within the wood. It’s known to be about 400 times better at insulation than steel and 1,750 times better than aluminum. Since wood is a natural insulator, using wood in ceilings can help decrease the amount of energy needed to heat up the space. Wood allows homes and other buildings to stay cool in the summer, while retaining their warmth in the winter, decreasing the cost of power bills and helping the buildings maintain a desirable temperature year-round. This property makes wood a very environmentally friendly material for ceilings, which leads us into our next point.

        Ecological, biodegradable and easy to recycle. Wood is a very sustainable resource, compared to other materials, since it is usually available in nature as long as we take care of the resource and use wood from sustainably managed forests. Beyond just being an environmentally friendly and sustainable resource, wood is also very easy to recycle and biodegradable, so you won’t see the material crowding any landfills.

        Aesthetic. Wood ceilings are also a timeless aesthetic that never truly goes out of style. The material brings a sense of elegance and warmth to any space, and there are hundreds of different models, designs and finishes, so you can find the right style for your own aesthetic preferences. Whether wood is used in construction or for walls, for paneling or for ceilings, the colors, ambience and natural grain will always be noticed. The colors in the wood help light up the room and make it seem more relaxing and ambient. And wood ceilings often help make a room look and feel larger.
