That's going to be an awful lot of fireproof plasterboard (although
not necessarily a bad thing). The original plan was just to box in the
RSJ, I think. And have a "step" between the two halves, but that's
going to look very odd.

Plasterboard is apparently the new toilet paper. Factories are closed
and builders merchants run out.
I have a couple of sheets put by:-)

Could you not clad the beam in enough Oak to meet the fire regs. and
call it a *feature*?

The objective is to have a flat ceiling, not one with a feature
RSJ-cladding.
