The following product received the most reader inquiries from our May issue of Qualified Remodeler : ARMSTRONG CEILINGS' WOODHAVEN CEILING PLANKS Convert plaster, popcorn ceilings or damaged drywall using Armstrong Ceilings' WoodHaven Ceiling Planks for a prefinished, natural wood- grain look on the ceiling. Made of medium density fiberboard, the planks can also be used as a retrofit for ceiling grids. WoodHaven Planks can be installed on ceilings in three different ways: using WoodHaven Clips and Screws installed directly to exposed joists or with 1 1/2 in. drywall screws when installing the planks to drywall. More flexible installation or running planks parallel or diagonal to joists can be achieved with the company's Easy Up system, which includes tracks and clips.

Designed to update the appearance of a ceiling without sacrificing ceiling height, the planks are maintenance free and resist humidity. Fourteen styles are offered, though certain finishes are only avail- able in certain areas. e painted white and beadboard styles can also be used for wainscoting and backsplashes using adhesive for installation; the two styles offer sag resistance and can be painted to match any décor.
