I have a room with a low cathedral type ceiling and the sheetrock is badly cracked. I was thinking of putting some paneling over it rather than replacing the wallboard, but saw on the manufacturer's label that the panels should not be used on ceilings. Can anyone tell me why? I can see no reason not to, unless it would sag or something. I appreciate any feedback, thanks.
It will sag at 2' on center and will be wavey even at 16" on center. Tounge and groove pine or ceder would be a better choice.

Use a stiffer panelling with lots and lots of construction adhesive and the sag factor ought to be minimized. HTH

The paneling will sag. When we were looking for houses one had paneling installed on the ceiling. Very saggy. I don't recall how well nailed it was but the thought we both had was "that would be taken down".
