For a change, I'm ahead of schedule. I plan to combine aesthetics with function. We have concrete floors and need sound-absorbing panels. I'm sketching out placing acoustic panels on the entire ceiling, and to avoid more material choices, it needs to match something already in the house. We have spruce flooring on the entire upper floor, and in theory, it should be an excellent choice, I think.
Now to the practical part. Which material is the cheapest and most attractive? And can you fasten wood to the ceiling without it warping and doing its own thing? As I understand it, MDF is used in all ready-made panels.
The cheapest option is batten 23x36 which costs 7-8kr/m.
I own an unused electric planer. Can you buy that batten and plane the edges to make it look decent?
Planed Pine 15x27mm I've seen at Byggmax for 21kr/lpm.
Spruce exterior panel 22x95mm is available for 17kr/m. Splitting it into 3 pieces of 30mm becomes 5.60kr/lpm.
More suggestions for wood, preferably spruce, but pine as a backup.
Can you tongue and groove with a router?
