Want to have horizontal paneling in the main room. But if you just use wide planks (without tongue and groove) they'll eventually warp, right?! Otherwise, the idea was to put black paper behind to get a "ship deck" effect.
We think regular beadboard is too narrow, and chamfered paneling and similar have a groove between the boards which collects dust.
We've also looked at flooring planks to get wider dimensions and tongue and groove to hold the boards together, but it's so terribly expensive.
Is there really no truly wide paneling for interior walls?

Wider than 170 flexes a lot if you don't nail and glue them.
So up to 170, you can use regular boards as paneling without them warping??
We can imagine 140-170mm as paneling, clearly better than tongue-and-groove at 95 anyway.
But it might look nicer to use something with tongue-and-groove, does it come in those sizes? Where?
Otherwise, there will be a lot of nail heads in every joint or do you put strips over them?
If anyone has a picture of how wide paneling looks in place indoors, it would be fun to see

My 170 hasn't warped at all and it's in a space that's warm in the summer and humid and cold in the winter.bryggtomten said:So up to 170, regular boards can be used as paneling without them warping??
We can consider 140-170mm as paneling, definitely better than tongue and groove at 95 anyway.
But it might be nicer to use something with tongue and groove, is it available in those dimensions? Where?

One should use tongue and groove, don't want to see the nail holes.
Will look for a picture.

We want a rougher feel on the panel wall, maybe even rough-cut boards, but we haven't reached a consensus in the family yet
so nail holes are okay if they are visible, but not if there are 4 nails in each board at the joints. That might be a bit too much nail heads.
I am also considering placing black paper behind so you get "black seams" between the boards. That is, on non-grooved boards.
But WHERE can you find grooved panels in wider dimensions and does anyone know approximately the price range for these?!?
Veckebo sawmill and planing mill manufactures tongue and groove boards in dimensions up to 19x188.
