RESION OF MAKING FASLE CEILING

DUE TO ACOUSTIC RESION FOR ASTHETIC LOOK FOR CONCEILING ROOF FRAMEWORK FOR INSULATION EASY TO MAKE LOW WEIGHT FIRE PROTECTION ACT AS LIGHT REFLECTOR

INTIAL CONSIDERATION

The stud work for the ceiling is relatively easy as you simply mark a line along one wall using a long piece of wood and spirit level at the height at which you want the false ceiling, fasten this piece of wood to the wall making sure it is level .

FRAME WORK ALL AROUND

Then work around the room attaching the other lengths of wood until you have a level frame all around the room.

FIXING N JOINTS

Fixing plasterboard to a ceiling is never easy and although it is possible to fix it alone it is far easier with two people. Be sure to mark the wall where the studs are to make fastening easier.

you can screw them with bugle headed phosphate coated screws. When fastening the plasterboard ensure that the nails or screws do not tear the paper on the plasterboard, simply make sure they sink below the surface but without tearing the paper. Cutting plasterboard is very easy and can either be sawn with an old blunt saw or better still score it on the reverse with a sharp knife all the way .

7.Jointing;

DAMAGED ROOF NEED FASLSE CEILING WORK

Often if a ceiling is too badly damaged it will need plaster boarding over before it can either be Skimmed with plaster or Artexed. This ceiling below was very badly cracked but also was not flat as it curved off where it met the wall, the only solution here was to install a false ceiling by fixing a wooden partition across the ceiling (similar to building a partition wall).

INSTALATION OF ELECTRIC APPNS

This procedure is almost identical to installing a stud partition but instead of being vertical it is horizontal, It is a good idea to leave a space for the loft hatch to make access easier. Skew Nail the studs to the framework around the room
