I am trying to identify a product and am having difficulty picking the right name, I guess. In the old days, ceilings, and roof decking were often created with tongue-and-groove boards. Nowadays, you can get that ‘look’ with a 4×8 sheet. What the hell is it called? I thought it was bead board, but got all kinds of strange results on the web when I went looking.
Thank you.

I know a product called Ranchwall (in Canada)... heavily-grained plywood with grooves at 8" o/c. Available in 3/8" and 5/8" thicknesses.
All the best...
To those who know - this may be obvious. To those who don't - I hope I've helped.
The stuff you refer to is called T1-11 here. T stands for Texture.

Thanks. I've seen it as that here, too, but it slipped what is laughingly called my mind.All the best...

We called it Beaded Ceiling:

Is this what you are looking for.
Ply-bead is a trademarked name from a from GP, but most lumber yards would know what you ment even if they had a different brand.

Roof decking is covered by the roofing material, so it wouldn't make sense to duplicate a tongue-and-groove look. And unless the ceiling is less than 8' across, even the ply-bead panels are going to have a pretty obvious 4' long butt joint every 8'. Perhaps this is going between ceiling beams? It seems this stuff's main application is wainscoting on interior walls, or sheathing on "protected" exterior walls. Just trying to visualize what you're doing on this project. Let us know how it comes out!

Thanks to everyone for the response. It did help, and it did provide the answers I was looking for. THe intent here is to have an exposed, vaulted ceiling, but with that wood look. One solution is to actually install T&G bead board. It would require more labor, and it is more expensive than the 4 x 8 sheet solution, but it is also real pine and can be stained instead of just painted. Then the SIP roofing panels are installed on top of the bead, a moisture barrier on top of that, then and finally the roofing material. So, it is solid from bead board to roof, no air spaces, and about R40 insulation value.

Faking T&G never looks right on ceilings. My vote goes for the real deal.
check-out 1x8 T&G barnsiding. V-groove every 3'', notty, stains out pretty nice. Quick coverage. A great place for Information, Comraderie, and a sucker punch.
