"Ceiling" is fore-and-aft planking that is installed on the inboard faces of the frames in a
wood boat, also the term is applied to fore-and-aft strips that are used to hide the inside surface of a
fiberglass boat.
When you "look up", that surface is called the "overhead".
The part you "walk on" is called the "sole".
It's quite simple, when standing down below, the "sole" is under the "soles" of your feet, and the "overhead" is "over your head".
A couple of layers of double-bias will have very little resistance to bending.
Now, if we can introduce some carbon fiber some distance away from the neutral axis, we can start to gain some rigidity.
Rigidity is gained by separation of the inner and outer skins.
What goes between them to effect that separation can be any number of what we call "core" materials.
