Our new line of Pecky Cypress ceiling panels brings a little taste to Key West right into your room. The Pecky Cypress Ceiling panels are made from polyurethane and are very easy to install, they do not warp, crack, split, or interest insects.

The panels are tongue and groove which is also referred to as T & G.

• Model P 01 – Measures 96”L x 15”W x ¾”D
  • The panel is molded to appear that there are three separate cypress boards connecting to one another through a V-joint. The boards measure 5” wide a piece,  which makes up the 15” wide panel. The pecky appears to be moderately aged. The heavier the pecky the older the wood.  There are several molds that make up this model, which ensures a natural looking final project.  A soft raised grain can be seen running throughout the panel.

•  
  • Model P 02 – 108”L x 6”W x ¾”D
    • This aged pecky panel is made up of three individual pieces of cypress replicas. The panels have strong pecky markings running throughout, along with a medium distress grain. The sides of the panels have been “rabbit eared” to allow for a quick and simple installation.

Pictured below is our new P 02 pecky cypress panel along with the STB 20 faux wood beam. These photos are a sneak peak of a project which was filmed for a home improvement special. The show will air in the beginning of 2011 which will also correspond with the panels being on display at the International Builders Show in January. 

As you can see the aged pecky panel mixed with the raised grain contemporary faux beam brings a Key West charm to this room. This “Florida Room” truly feels like you’re footsteps away from the soft white sand beaches and cool ocean breezes.

The name Craftsmen depicts the true quality and design of this product line. The Craftsmen Series is made up of two different styles of products. The majority of these products have sharp clean edges with a fine distinctive cypress wood grain emulating throughout the piece.

Also available is a Florida inspired favorite called pecky cypress. Pecky cypress is becoming very popular throughout North America because of its unique appearance. Our pecky cypress line is molded from fallen trees often found at the bottom of rivers and in swamps. Strong pecky markings are seen running throughout the products. Typically the stronger the pecky, the older the wood. In some cases the pecky used can be dated back to the 1880’s when trees were axed by hand and floated to mills. Some logs would inevitably sink in transit, which allows  us to harvest  and create these beautiful architectural enhancements today.

The finishing techniques of the Craftsmen series are unique to the Superior Product Line. Unlike the majority of the Superior wood products, the Craftsmen series is painted and not stained. The paint used has a UV inhibitor and is designed for exterior use. The Craftsmen series is available in: Fall Brown, Yellow Sienna, Western Red, Snow White and of course, unfinished.   

The Craftsmen’s Series can already  be seen while strolling throughout Epcot in Orlando Florida, not to mention numerous buildings and homes.  No matter the style or the desired look, the Superior Building Supplies line can change the look and feel of any structure. From faux wood ceiling beams to crown mouldings, the architectural enhancements are virtually limitless.

Pre-Mitered Molding Corner Kit

Unlocking Your Homes Hidden Beauty With Crown Molding

Fort Lauderdale, Florida, November 19, 2009:   Superior Building Supplies, one of North American’s leading producers / distributors of Faux Wood Beams, Crown Moldings  and high quality millwork products, announced today the introduction of their new pre-mitered crown molding corner kit.

 In today’s economic climate, saving time and money is a necessity. The Superior Building Supplies pre-mitered corner kit was designed with this in mind. The headaches and frustrations of cutting that perfect 90 degree inside or outside corner are a thing of the past.  

Each corner kit will create one inside or outside corner. Simply remove the two pieces of molding which have been pre-mitered on both ends. Look at the identifying markings that show which end creates the inside or outside corner.  Then simply cut off the mitered side of the molding piece that  will not be  used.  This is a simple straight cut and this will create a butt joint for the straight molding to tie into.  Glue or nail your pre-cut molding corner into place and you are finished.

The Superior Millwork line, including the new corner kits, are shipped with two coats of white primer, so the moldings, medallions, etc are ready for painting, gel-staining, or even instalation as is.

Step by step video tutorials are available for viewing on our website and our blog at www.superiorbuildingsupplies.com and www.superiorbuildingsupplies/blog.

The Superior Building Supplies product line is available almost anywhere quality millwork products are sold. To learn more about the miter kit or other Superior Products, please contact the Superior Customer Service Team at 888-328-9232.
