Hi all,
I'm just after some advice, the ceiling in my latest room renovation project is bowed at one end, I've not fully investigated yet but speaking to the previous occupant (wife's father) he says the boards follow one of the joists (warped). I want to get a perfect flat ceiling, I've spoken to some people about this and the concencus is to build a wooden frame slightly below the level of the current ceiling and board. I've looked at the metal alternatives such as Knauf C system and I cost it at around £300 for the frame alone, the wooden equivalent comes in a less that £100 (its just slightly more time consuming). The thing I'm not sure on is the size of wood I need to support something 3.6m x 3.9m and hold 9.5mm board. What size do I need on the board joins? If anybody has any tips for this sort of job I'd be most apprectiative.
Thanks in advance.
