Hello,
I am wanting to lower my bathroom ceiling to install recessed lights.
The short span is 2.2m.
The room is 3.4 x 2.2m
Am I right in thinking 2x4 C16 spaced at 24" centres would be sufficient for plasterboard, or would 16" be required?
Also, attaching either side of the wall, would this be better on joist hangers? or onto wood?
Do I require noggins? as the boards are 2400x1200, there would be no 'loose edges'.
Any help appreciated, I have only ever done a wall, never a ceiling.
