Armstrong Ceilings Armstrong Ceilings Country Classic Plank Light Beige 4-ft x 0.5-ft Ceiling Kit

Country classic ceiling planks

We did the ceiling in this about 10 years ago. We love the way it looks. Did some remodeling this past summer and we needed a few pieces, but had to buy the whole box. There was 3 or 4 boxes left and most of the boxes were in horrible condition. We tried to pick several good pieces but truly there wasn't any. There was sken wrong with the tongue or with the groove. Well just have to make it work. But again there ceiling looks great with this on it. Takes paint just like you are rolling an...

Awesome Alternative To Removing Acoustic Ceilings

I had seen plank ceilings before, and have contractor level experience installing real wood planks on a ceiling. I wasn't sure I'd like the look in my home. But I was sick and tired of my acoustic ceilings and wasn't about to go the full blown route of removing them and re-texturing. These lightweight planks intrigued me after reading up on them, and after seeing pictures of other peoples installs. After buying enough to do a small bedroom as a test, I was instantly sold on it. They are extreme...

Amazing!

Exactly what I wanted! Keep in mind, these are ACCOUSTIC ceiling tiles. Therefore, they are not wood (but they do look like it.) If you are looking for true wood, this is not the product for you. They look fantastic for what they are! My next comments are for those wondering why the bad reviews (as I did before cautiously buying.) Some edges of the boards may flake off, does NOT mean they can't be used. As long as the white wood looking part is good, then the board is completely usable and will...

Wow, where do I start

Lets start by saying it is a very nice look when complete. This can be quite challanging even for a seasoned DIYer. I have done mostly all my own remodeling from building our sun room to adding a second full bath and laundry room. As I said its a very nice finished product, getting to that point can be difficult. The most difficult part is getting good product. Local store did not have and was not given the option to order and pickup at store. I placed an order for 5 cases at another store 45 mi...

Overall, A Great Buy

In putting a new ceiling in a 100+ year old house, we originally looked at tin. It just was too costly, and ended up finding this (after a very long search). It was a special ordered from the store (although they did have a sample sheet that I looked at in-person) and only took about a week and a half to come in. The trick with the older house was using a product that gave us a lot of flexibility, as the ceiling is not square--and is off as much as 2" in places. We were putting this atop very o...

A good product but buy some extra for damaged ones

I installed around 800 sq. ft. of this 4' Country Classic planks from Lowes around 20 years ago for a project I did and it has held up perfectly over all of these years with no issues whatsoever except for where the roof leaked and I had to repaired it, which would have been the case no matter what ceiling material had been installed. I can say that even after 16-17 years the new planks matched very well considering the time that had passed. As for the review that had problems with the ceiling c...

Why do they sell this?

I bought this since it was cheaper than the WoodHaven planks (which are great). I decided to test this product out by putting it in our closet. After getting it installed in there, it was very clear I didn't want to put it anywhere else, so we switched to the more expensive WoodHaven planks for our bedroom. These Country Classic tiles don't look that great. They are obviously not wood though they have the grain. If it was only the appearance, I would give these a 3-star rating. But the worst is ...

Check all boxes before leaving!

The boxes were on a pallet and at first glance they looked great but, some of the boxes in the middle have strap damage and I know what it looks like. there are 3" wide indentations on 4 boxes on both ends that have destroyed most of the tiles in the boxes, I will be returning the damaged tiles to the Franklin branch when I have them boxed back up. it really seems like it was done on purpose since they were in the middle of the stack.

Neat way to change the look of your ceiling

We had a popcorn ceiling that had been painted over (basically sealed in there); so it wasn't coming down. When I saw these ceiling planks I thought they'd look really nice (I like the farmhouse-like look anyway). They were really easy to install...rather than putting up the rack system, we glued them with a Locktite instant grab adhesive. They're super light weight so the adhesive stuck right to the popcorn texture. We're not worried (at all) about them coming down- maybe someday someone will w...

Think twice before using these planks

I purchased 9 boxes of these planks and nearly 1/3 were damaged. Some of the damage could be blamed on shipping and handing, but some of the damage was on the planks themselves and obviously a production issue. The planks are not packaged well and one drop easily damages the corners or sides of all the planks in the box. I live an hour away from the store, so I chose to make the most of what I could rather than return them. Very disappointed. I like the look of these planks, but they are ve...
