Hi all,
I have a ceiling which has coving already fitted, it's a lathe and plaster ceiling and unfortunately has now started to crack and sag fairly badly. My plan is to overboard with large and staggered 9.5mm plasterboard sheets.
I have identified the joist locations on either side of the room and so can guarantee solid fixing points.
My query is that I don't want to remove the existing coving as it's a large ceiling and a big room - if I overboard I believe that the new boards will be level with the current upper lip of the coving, therefore it might look odd if I simply butted the board up to the coving.
Instead, I've read about a bead that can be applied around the edge of the boards, but can't find any pictures or references to show how this might look in the context of a ceiling?
Has anyone done this and can link me to the type of bead that I'll need, as well as some pictures of how this looks once completed?
Appreciate your help!
