Which is Best? Unfinished or Pre-finished Knotty Pine Paneling?

 Knotty Pine tongue and groove paneling is a perennial favorite for walls and ceilings. Whether you use it for a traditional home, cabin, or business, you’ll be pleased with the results.

This beautiful log home has tongue and groove/end-matching pine boards that give it a rustic and cozy atmosphere. Sitting in front of the fireplace on a cold day is relaxing and can take your mind off a hard day at work.

This type of paneling comes in both unfinished and pre-finished conditions to meet your personal needs. Unfinished is less expensive, while pre-finished goes up faster. Cedar and barnwood paneling are other options you might like to explore.

Unfinished Knotty Pine Paneling Is a Favorite

Unfinished knotty pine is the first thing that comes to most people’s minds when they think of fine wood paneling. It is readily available from many suppliers and is very cost-effective compared to hardwoods.

If you want a beautiful wood that is durable and easy to finish by hand, try this product. If you enjoy using your woodworking talents, stain pine paneling in a favorite color, then apply a clear coat.

Unfinished knotty pine is shipped already sanded and ready to install with a nailgun. If you like to finish wood, this is the product for you.

“Every piece of our paneling is kiln dried to the correct moisture content and ready for finishing. All boards are hand-inspected to ensure your orders are free from defects.”

 Pre-finished Pine or Cedar Makes the Project Go Faster and Easier

Although this article is primarily about knotty pine, you can see from this photo that cedar paneling is a viable option. You’ll get these benefits from pre-finished wood:

 

·    Save a lot of time and labor

·    The factory finish is superior to doing it by hand

·    No waiting on scheduling a painter

·    No finishing materials to buy or mess to clean

·    Only low VOCs are used for your protection

 

Pre-finished pine paneling arrives at your door or building site ready to install. What could be easier?
