Attaching metal wall liner to angled ceiling

[liam546]

I am going to be lining my bathroom walls with a 25mm metal wall lining system. The system has a track at the bottom that is fixed to the floor and a track at the top that fixes to the ceiling. The metal studs then fit between the tracks at 600 centers.

The problem I have is that my ceiling where the track needs to be fitted is at a 45 degree angle (see pic) where I need it to be flat so the track is line with the track on the floor.

I therefore need to run or fix some kind of wood into the ceiling joists to make a flat surface but I'm not really sure what best way of doing this is or how to get the correct angle.

Any advice would be great

Ah raked ceilings and the problems they cause.

The most elegant solution would be to frame out the ceiling timbers so the raked segment is at a steeper angle to create a "ledge" next to the wall that you can attach the metal system to.

But you've already boarded the ceiling.

So alternatively you can create wooden wedge blocks that you can attach to the ceiling to provide fixing points along the metal track. You would simply board over this gap and stuff it with wool insulation.

I have the same issue but my angled rafters are at 40-degree pitch.

I was going to use tilt fillet/arris rail but they are all 45⁰ and it shows. Noone near me wants to cut down the profile to 40⁰ for me...

Any suggestions?
