Look up.
Feel at home.
Shiplap Nickelgap and 6" E&CB Beadboard for the ceiling over your porch, in crisp white or a soft, classic porch ceiling blue. By American Pro, a Brand of Patwin Plastics.
The part of the porch
you see every evening.
A porch ceiling is what you see from the swing, from the rocking chair, and from the top step when you come home. It frames the shade on a hot afternoon and the glow of the light over the door at night. A clean ceiling tells every guest the same thing: welcome, come sit a while.
Choose a smooth shiplap look or a traditional beadboard look, pick white or a soft porch ceiling blue, and order the lengths your porch actually needs. It is the kind of detail that makes you proud to turn on the porch light.
Pick the look
that suits your home.
Both profiles come from our Beadboard & Balusters family of mouldings. Sizes are thickness x width.
Shiplap Nickelgap.
Clean lines overhead.
A smooth, modern farmhouse look with a crisp shadow line between every board. Each board has a tongue on one side and a groove on the other, so the ceiling goes up board by board and reads as one calm, even surface.

6" E&CB Beadboard.
The classic porch look.
The traditional beaded ceiling that has welcomed people onto front porches for generations. The panels interlock, and the bead detail adds a soft rhythm of shadow that feels at home on a farmhouse, a cottage, or a grand old Victorian.

Bright and simple,
or a little bit of sky.
White keeps the porch bright and clean. The soft porch ceiling blue, the pale aqua many people call haint blue, brings a cool, restful feeling overhead, like a patch of summer sky that stays put.
