Shed conversion - dry lining and ceiling
I've posted a lot of questions in this newsgroup so I hope I'm not boring
anyone... Some dry-lining and ceiling questions: I have fixed vertical battens every 600mm across the face of all the walls in the shed. I plan to use 12.5mm plasterboard so do I have to fix horizontal battens (apart from top and bottom)? Should I fix the ceiling before dry-lining the walls?... I was planning to nail 12.5mm plasterboard to the ceiling joists. The joists are 500mm apart. Do I need to put in "cross-pieces" between the joists? I was palnning to lay lengths of 35mm Celotex between the joists for insulation. Is this OK? Thoughts and suggestions please. Thanks |
Shed conversion - dry lining and ceiling
I was planning to nail 12.5mm plasterboard to the ceiling joists. The
joists are 500mm apart. Do I need to put in "cross-pieces" between the joists? For a shed, I wouldn't bother. Sounds like work. Of course, the ceiling is more likely to crack without them, but do you care? I was palnning to lay lengths of 35mm Celotex between the joists for insulation. Is this OK? That's a very good idea. Even better if you can lay them on top as well, to eliminate cold bridging. Christian. |
