What are Custom Architectural Wood Ceilings?

Architectural wood ceilings are decorative overhead wood installations designed to add warmth, character, and visual depth to any room. Sawdust And Splinters crafts a variety of ceiling styles including coffered ceiling grids, tongue-and-groove cedar or oak planking, shiplap ceilings, and linear acoustic wood slat ceilings. Ideal for master bedrooms, great rooms, and dining spaces across Oklahoma and Texas, custom wood ceilings transform ordinary sheetrock into extraordinary architectural features.

What is Required for Wood Ceiling Installation?

Installing wood ceilings requires ceiling joist leveling, furring strip grid installation, and expansion clearance planning. Before securing planks or coffered beams overhead, our carpentry crew evaluates ceiling joist directions, light fixture junction boxes, and HVAC registers. We precision-blind nail tongue-and-groove planks, miter perimeter crown molding, and apply durable furniture-grade finishes that withstand humidity and temperature shifts.


What are Decorative Ceiling Beams & Trusses?

Decorative ceiling beams are non-structural or hollow box beams crafted to mimic heavy timber trusses, rustic barn wood beams, or clean-lined modern architectural beams. They add volume, rustic elegance, and structural character to vaulted living rooms and open-concept kitchens without requiring expensive structural ceiling modifications. Sawdust And Splinters hand-crafts box beams from solid oak, cedar, and pine, hand-distressing or staining them to match your home's timber trim.

What is Required for Ceiling Beam Installation?

Mounting decorative ceiling beams overhead requires installing internal 2x4 blocking blocks anchored directly into ceiling joists with lag bolts. Lightweight hollow box beams are then fitted over the blocking, scribe-trimmed against drywall walls, and fastened securely with countersunk trim screws. Our craftsmen fill fastener holes, stain match seam joints, and install decorative black iron straps or bracket hardware for an authentic timber frame look.
