Tongue and Groove Paneling

Many people decide to have a wood look to their houses. Depending on what type of wood there are many different choices these days. The most popular is the tongue and groove because of the ease of installation. They have a groove on one end that you stick the other end into. This end has the ‘tongue’ and this slides right into the ‘groove’ of the other. Then it will have a smooth uniform finish to it.

Few simple ways to install include:

  • Start at the bottom and nail up one piece.
  • Nail into the stud on your wall into the groove so as not to nail into the paneling
  • Slide the next panel in and repeat
  • If a piece goes past the stud, just nail where the stud is and keep going.
  • Continue all the way up the wall until you are finished.
  • Now you have a new wood look to your walls!
  • This can even be done to ceilings as well.
