It is partially the stiffness but I believe the issue was the suction from the AC unit. You can see on the joists the little bits of plastic where the boards were ripped away under the pressure difference. Once it started coming away the weight of the boards that had come away started pulling...

There are no tiles they are pvc planks, this is where the pvc planks came down from

Definitely an option but was hoping there might be something thinner.

It is a new build garage and I believe is the standard as it probably saves them £5 a garage! The joists are braced above as we added an attic area. Hence, why I wanted something thin but I meant lightweight as thin and lightweight as they usually go together. I am thinking I will need to add...

Thanks for the imput. I did think that might be an answer when I was searching but I saw on one site it should be fitted on 300mm or less centres, also that it was susceptible to movement due to temperature fluctuation, is there a version strong enough for 600mm centres? I've seen temps as high...

I have converted about three quarters of the garage to a gym (~3.5m x 4m), it all seemed to be going well…. but for the ceiling I just fitted pvc planks (2700mm x 250mm x 5mm) which were screwed to the joist (600mm centres). I’d accept I wasn’t going to insulate the gym and it seemed an...

Yeah definitely up to me and if I thought I could skim it without making a mess I'd choose that as well ;) I was thinking of ply and use some contrasting painted spare bits of ply or even a piece of 18x69 over the join and possibly a bit either side. Add some interest, cover the joins and look...

I'm looking to split the garage (new build house garage 2yrs old) with a stud wall into a storage area at the front and the gym area at the back. The stud wall would be 3.2m wide and 254cm high. I had some questions: - The stud wall will have a top plate fixed to the existing ceiling joist...
