All of our faux wood ceiling and wall planks can be ordered with a Class A fire-rated specification to help meet common residential and commercial code requirements.

If you need a Class A fire-rated option for a different plank style, we can provide a custom quote based on your product selection and project scope. Contact us to discuss your project requirements and fire code documentation needs.

Yes. Ceiling and Wall Planks, including MDF options, can be used in dry exterior applications where they are not exposed to direct rain or snow. For example, they may be installed on a covered porch ceiling where they experience temperature and humidity changes but do not get wet.

For MDF planks used in these conditions, we recommend sealing the back (if not factory primed) and applying an exterior-grade paint to the front for added protection.

Yes. You can order ceiling and wall plank sample kits before placing your full order, allowing you to review the color, texture, and finish in your own space.

We offer a variety of ceiling and wall plank sample kits so you can compare options and make a confident decision before committing to a larger purchase.

*The cost of the sample kit you purchase will be credited toward your faux wood beam order.

No. Tilton Coffered Ceilings, Inc. does not provide installation services. However, all Ceiling and Wall Plank products are designed for ease of installation and can be installed by experienced DIYers or professional contractors.

No. Matching moldings or trim are not offered for Ceiling and Wall Planks. However, you can create complementary trim by cutting the planks to the required widths and lengths. Many customers also choose moldings or trim in a contrasting color or finish, such as white-painted trim, to frame the installation.

No. Due to the proprietary color formulation and application process, touch-up stain or paint is not available. We recommend consulting with a paint professional at your local retailer to have a custom stain or paint color mixed to best match your Ceiling and Wall Planks.

The easiest way to measure for ceiling and wall planks is to use the square foot method. Measure the length of each ceiling or wall and multiply it by the width to calculate the total square footage. Add together all areas you plan to cover, subtract any window or door openings, then add 15% to account for cuts and installation waste.

Ceiling and wall planks typically weigh between 1 and 1.25 pounds per linear foot. This makes them lightweight and manageable for both ceiling and wall installations.

For reference, an 8-foot plank weighs approximately 8 to 10 pounds, while a 16-foot plank weighs about 16 to 20 pounds. The exact weight can vary slightly depending on the specific plank profile and material density.

Because they are lightweight, ceiling and wall planks are easier to handle during installation and place less structural load on ceilings compared to heavier solid wood alternatives.

Yes. All Ceiling and Wall Planks have a 250 square foot minimum order requirement (MOQ). You may mix and match plank sizes and colors within the same product type to meet the minimum square footage requirement.

The “Quick-Lock” feature means the ceiling and wall planks are end-matched with a Tongue and Groove (T&G) profile that interlocks on all four edges — both long sides and both short ends.

Because all edges lock together, butt joints and seams do not have to land directly on a ceiling joist or wall stud. This allows for more flexible layout options and a cleaner overall installation.

The result is a quick, tight-fitting, low-waste installation that reduces cutting and labor time. The planks can also be blind nailed, which helps conceal fasteners for a smooth, finished appearance.

Lead times for Ceiling and Wall Planks vary by product and finish. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, please refer to the “Availability” section listed on the specific plank product page.

The best way to clean pre-finished Ceiling and Wall Planks is with a dry duster or a lightly damp cloth. Avoid using chemical cleaners or excessive water, as they may damage the finish or affect the material over time.

Tilton Coffered Ceilings, Inc. (TCC) provides a Limited Five (5) Year Warranty to the original purchaser covering its Ceiling and Wall Planks and any products fabricated from those materials at its manufacturing facilities.

You only need standard carpentry tools to install ceiling and wall planks. In most residential and light commercial projects, installation can be completed using common tools already found in a typical workshop.

For most applications, this includes a tape measure for layout, a level to ensure straight alignment, a miter saw or circular saw to cut planks to size, and a drill or nail gun for fastening. The appropriate fasteners and adhesive may also be required depending on the specific plank material and installation surface.

Tool requirements can vary slightly based on the plank style and whether you are installing on a ceiling or wall. For detailed preparation steps, fastening methods, and finishing recommendations, review our official Installation Manuals.
