LOUVER WOOD CEILINGS
Conwed's NaturaLines Wood Ceilings provide a contemporary ceiling look while allowing the free flow of air and light through the ceiling panels. The louver ceilings come with either dowels or backers dadoed into the back. The use of the backers allows total accessibility to the space above the panels as the panels are removable.
