OPEN AND CLOSED LINEAR WOOD CEILINGS
SelecTrim's NaturaLines® Open and Closed Linear Wood Ceilings offer the warmth of natural wood to your various design situations. The linear ceiling aesthetics provide a vibrant feeling of receding and dynamic parallel lines. Open Linear Wood Ceilings provide an opening between the wood rails. This opening can be left open or a black filler strip can be provided to insert between the rails. Closed Linear Wood Ceilings are tongue-and-groove ceilings. Three options exist, Type I, Type V, and Type U.
