How to change suspended ceiling into timber?

Hello Im very new to DIY and renovating I just had a quick question on how hard it would be to change my suspended ceilings into something like a timber roof something along the lines of the picture I added in. And if so what would be the best steps to do it 🙂 thank you !

Hi @coreyw,

Sorry for the slow reply. I'm sure our resident Bunnings D.I.Y. experts will be happy to assist as soon as possible.

In the meantime, could you please tell us what previous D.I.Y. experience you have had? That might help make it a little easier for them to provide a recommendation on the feasibility of this project. 

All the best,

Jason

Hello @coreyw 

My apologies for the late reply. If you are thinking about transforming the look of your ceiling, I suggest using QuickBoard™ 250 x 7.5mm 4.8m Ceiling Lining Board Cedar Composite VJ - 10 Pack - Cedar. It's pre-finished meaning no oiling, painting or staining required. It's quick and easy to install and there is no need for speciality tools or equipment. It's durable and will not rot, plus, it's also insect resistant.

Here is a link to the PermaTimber Brochure: PermaTimber QuickBoard Installation

The only thing that I see that needs to be removed are the timber cover strips covering the panel joins. But other than that, nothing needs to be modified.

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

That's great to hear @coreyw.

You might also like to consider Pine lining boards as they are lightweight and easy to install even with a novice level of D.I.Y. ability.
