ᐅ Suspend ceiling with three-ply panels

Hello everyone,

The planning of our single-family house is almost complete, so some detailed questions about the interior finishing are coming up. The building will be traditionally masonry-built, and the ceiling will be concrete. However, during visits to various show homes, we really liked the solid wood ceiling panels, as they perfectly match our taste. I have attached an example photo. Since we are going to install a suspended ceiling anyway, the question arose whether we could do this with appropriate three-layer wood panels to achieve that look. Have any of you had experience with something like this? Several wood suppliers also advertise that these panels are especially suitable for wall and ceiling cladding in interior construction. To achieve a flush appearance, I was thinking of using tongue-and-groove panels and fastening them by drilling at an angle through the groove into the substructure.

What is your opinion on this? Is it feasible and, if so, can it look similar?

Thank you very much!

I think you really need to pay close attention to the ceiling height. In your sample image, for example, the windows are installed without a visible lintel. This also greatly expands the view and makes the ceiling feel less oppressive.

We are actually planning something similar. The ceiling height is intended to be around 2.75m (9 feet), and the design of the windows on the exterior is planned without visible lintels. This is also one of the reasons why we want to install a dropped ceiling.

I’m not sure how flexible your budget is, but take a look at Lignotrend.
The soundproofing performance is excellent. Although not completely flush, they offer a wide selection and great functionality.

Thanks for the tip. This definitely points in the right direction. Is there anything like this with a flush surface as well?

Take a look at their website. There are many options.
I don’t think completely smooth is possible because of the function.
We have that everywhere too, and there are a few members here who have ceilings made of Lignotrend.
