Builders, remodelers and homeowners who have enjoyed the beauty and affordability of their popular wood drop ceiling system by WoodTrac, a division of Sauder Woodworking Co., will be pleased to hear that WoodTrac has recently introduced a new direct mount wood-based ceiling system. With an appearance similar to the coffered ceiling look of the wood drop ceiling, the new direct mount panels and moldings will install over joists, plaster or drywall in both new construction and remodeling applications—opening up a whole new range of ceiling design options in rooms throughout the home.

The direct mount ceiling panels are available in three attractive finishes including Abbey Oak, Bank Alder, and White/Paintable. With a Class C fire rating and a five-year warranty, the new direct mount wood-based ceiling panels are perfect for all residential applications, and for commercial installations equipped with a built-in fire suppressing sprinkler system. 

“In response to the demand by builders, remodelers and homeowners for an affordable direct mount wood-based ceiling panel, WoodTrac is introducing a new direct mount system that will broadly expand WoodTrac ceiling installation applications beyond drop ceilings, to drywall, plaster, wood plank and other hard surfaces,” says Jonathan Zublena, director of sales and marketing for WoodTrac. “The ceiling is an often overlooked space where personal style and overall home décor can meet for a dramatic effect—this new system allows for greater versatility in achieving this goal.”

The direct mount wood-based ceiling panels are combined with several molding profiles and color options to match the homeowner’s desired look. For more information on WoodTrac and its products, visit www.woodtrac.com.
