Then we thought that maybe coffering would look attractive and cover the seams and allow them to expand and contract underneath where it won't show.
I will try to find some pictures of coffering on porches.
Here are some good ones; coffering on porches - Bing images
If you have any other good answer to fixing this problem, please share. |
Creative Finish Carpentry, while installing crown moulding last year, mentioned a composite material they are using on lanai ceilings, in combination with crown moulding. Had the budget allowed it, we would've gone with that option. At the time it was $1,600.00 for a stretched Gardenia lanai ceiling.
