Is there narrow tongue and groove wood (70mm)?

[erik_m_a]

Hi!

I am restoring a roof after a water leak. I'm looking for narrow tongue and groove wood with a width of 65-70mm, as shown in the picture, but can't find it anywhere. Any tips on where I can look?

According to Svensktträ.se, 20x70mm (smooth tongue) should be available, but I can't find anyone who sells it...

Kind regards, Erik

Thanks for the tip! What I'm looking for, however, is a completely smooth version, just like the one that's up now (the picture).

Yes, but why not use 17x95 mm råspont then, and turn the planed side downwards.

I would have wanted identical boards, we are not having any ceiling underneath but will keep the wood ceiling visible. It wouldn't look nice if the boards are of different sizes then.

Sauna paneling from southern (now s Wood) in spruce is available in 65mm. But it's quite pricey and may not be found everywhere. A tip is to take a sample piece and visit a good lumberyard and ask. If they're not available or cannot be ordered, everything can be cut with millimeter precision if you're willing to pay for it.

Or if you go to a small local sawmill/carpentry and ask if they can cut what you need. It might be possible to pay with some coffee bread if you bring the material and offer them a Friday cake

It seems difficult to find 20x70 with a quick Google search, yes. But check with a reputable lumber yard, and they might be able to bring it in for you.

If it's not possible to find the right dimension, a handy trick is to buy 20x120 or maybe 20x145 and saw or mill a groove in the middle of the board, creating alternating "fake tongue and groove." Quite simple with a table saw or circular/plunge saw.

A more complicated option is, of course, to buy 20x95, then rip it to the right dimension and finally mill a new tongue. However, this scores points with purists.
