Facade cladding

[Ziro]

Hello!

We recently bought a house built in 1912 and are thinking of bringing back some turn-of-the-century charm to it. Therefore, we are considering beadboard ceilings and maybe on some walls. However, I have seen in older houses that they sometimes have a simpler tongue-and-groove where the edges are chamfered, creating a "V" shape between each plank. Otherwise, they are completely smooth. Does anyone know where to get such planks?

Also, I've seen that they have wide ceiling moldings that are curved. Where can you find such ones?

Best regards,
Ziro

What you're looking for is double bevel tongue-and-groove and hollow cove moulding. You can find these at a well-stocked building supply store.

: I don't think beadboard on the ceiling was very common at that time. However, it was common on the walls.

In our renovation project from 1913, there are beadboard ceilings and as paneling on the walls (about 120 cm high) in the kitchen. It could have been added later, but I doubt it.
There is only one wall cabinet in the kitchen, and it also has beadboard on the cabinet door.

Hi!

Thanks for the tips.! Yes, it's double tongue-and-groove and cove molding I mean.

I live in Hässelby, Stockholm. Ekesiöö in Bromma seems to have it. Are they good? Expensive? ByggMax is really cheap, so we were thinking of going there, but they only have beadboard and not double tongue-and-groove as it seems. Otherwise, there's Faringe, which seems to be quite affordable. They have cove molding 21 x 69 mm for 24:50 /lpm incl. VAT. However, they don't seem to have double tongue-and-groove. Other tips are welcome!

We were also looking for double bevel tongue and groove, but unless you want raw board in dimensions 22*145 you might need to work a bit to check with local sawmills. We had a local sawmill that actually had an order and then took the opportunity to saw some for the inventory as well. I remember they wanted about 110 SEK/m2 for 13*95 (I think it was 13, maybe 15). We opted out this time because of the amount we wanted. But it's incredibly nice in the right place. I have seen a different solution in a "culture house" where they had double bevel tongue and groove from floor to ceiling with a painted breast decor. Nice, and convenient to build.

Does anyone have links with pictures of different tongue-and-groove/paneling rooms clad with different tongue-and-groove? I have a summer house that will be furnished next summer.

I have looked through some books about Carl and Karin Larsson, as well as Ellen Key. There are quite a few pictures from their respective homes with paneled walls here and there. Certainly pleasant sources of inspiration!

I also borrowed a book called "Så renoveras torp och gårdar," where there are some tips. However, I don't remember if there was anything about different paneled walls.

No links precisely....

At least a good tip

There is so much to choose from...

The double groove tongue and groove in my house is only 70 wide and was originally installed on both the ceiling and walls in the hallways (downstairs/upstairs). The beadboard, on the other hand, is about 150 wide, but it has two beads planed into it. So it looks like two separate panel boards, even though it's just one. It's found in the kitchen ceiling, among other places.
