Just looking into having a new bathroom overhaul and i am going to lower the ceiling and having it plasterboarded and skimmed, i am going to do the bulk of lowering the ceiling work and then just get a plasterer to skim it over. What i would like advice on is am i planning this correctly. ?? Bathroom size is 3.7m long x 2m wide.
Fixing 63 x 38 cls all round bathroom into solid walls,
Using 63 x 38 cls cross beams skew screwed into wall plates spaced at 450mm centres to suit 1800 x 900 x 12.5mm plasterboard i am going to use.
63 x 38 cls strengthening beam central to half the 2m span,
63 x 38 cls noggings where necessary to correspond with board edges.
Two last things :-
Square edged plaster board or tapered edge. ?
Is it best to install plaster board with long edge parallel with cross beams or or long edge at 90 degrees to cross beams.
Thanks for any advice
