What is a tongue and groove ceiling?

A tongue and groove ceiling is a type of ceiling where two adjacent boards are joined together by interlocking their edges. The “tongue” is a protruding edge on one side of the board, while the “groove” is a recessed groove on the other side. The tongue fits into the groove, creating a strong, seamless joint. Tongue and groove ceiling panels are often made of wood and are used to create a rustic or traditional look in homes and buildings. They can be used to cover a large area, such as a whole room, or used as an accent feature, such as a small section of ceiling in a foyer or hallway.
