Cathedral Ceiling
Matching the pitch of the roofline, this ceiling has a dramatic effect on rooms
A cathedral ceiling is characterized by a peak at the center of the room, with the slopes from that peak having equal and matching sides. These slopes also match the pitch of the roofline. A cathedral ceiling maximizes the space allowed by opening the ceiling to the highest possible point.
Tongue and groove boards line the sloping ceiling planes of this cathedral ceiling.
Natural timbers form the trusses that raise this ceiling to its cathedral peak.
The squared trusses, horizontal beams and plain wood paneling make for a contemporary cathedral ceiling.
This image shows how a cathedral ceiling mimics the pitch of the roofline; the ceiling is actually the underside of the roof, whereas a vaulted ceiling is not.
