Trick That Turns the Design of Sunrooms on Its Head: Wood Ceiling Finish Tips from the President of Venetian Builders …

MIAMI, FL (PRWEB) December 30, 2013

Its impossible to track up the wood flooring in some sunrooms, even with the beach or a garden just outside the door, says Chris Noe, president of Venetian Builders, Inc., Miami. Thats because we install the flooring as a ceiling finish, Noe explained.

Wood has a warm personality, Noe said. Its welcoming. Its friendly. But its also rich. Wood works wonders on the ceiling especially a volume ceiling of an aluminum sunroom addition.

Venetian builds not only aluminum frame sunrooms but also patio covers and screen pool enclosures throughout South Florida, including in Pembroke Pines, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Kendall, Dania Beach, Weston and the Keys. It custom designs every project, regardless of its size and budget.

Wood is not used on floors so much because of the Florida humidity, Noe said. Ceramic tile is the floor covering of choice in South Florida, he said. But on a ceiling, where the wood wont be walked on and collecting sand, dirt and moisture, it brings attributes that homeowners welcome.

Noe offers these considerations for homeowners thinking about a wood ceiling treatment:

Natural properties: Wood is a part of nature, Noe noted. That can make it especially pleasant in a room that helps homeowners connect with nature a sunroom overlooking a garden or yard, specially if the windows open to screens, or even a screen patio cover that is, for all intents and purposes, an outdoor room.

Stains: Woods personality changes with the finish, Noe said. It can be stained to complement the woodwork in the home it expands. A lighter finish is brighter and airy. A darker finish is more formal and restrained.

Ceiling volume: The darker the finish, the lower a ceiling may seem, Noe cautioned. Darker finishes may work better on a cathedral or vaulted ceiling. Medium or lighter stains may feel less constraining on a lower ceiling.

Wood isnt simply glued to a ceiling panel, Noe said. It must be installed so that it breathes and can expand and contract without consequences. Our craftsmen have considerable experience in wood ceiling installation.
