Overboarding a Coved Ceiling

[sergeantash]

Hi all,

I have a ceiling which has coving already fitted, it's a lathe and plaster ceiling and unfortunately has now started to crack and sag fairly badly. My plan is to overboard with large and staggered 9.5mm plasterboard sheets.

I have identified the joist locations on either side of the room and so can guarantee solid fixing points.

My query is that I don't want to remove the existing coving as it's a large ceiling and a big room - if I overboard I believe that the new boards will be level with the current upper lip of the coving, therefore it might look odd if I simply butted the board up to the coving.

Instead, I've read about a bead that can be applied around the edge of the boards, but can't find any pictures or references to show how this might look in the context of a ceiling?

Has anyone done this and can link me to the type of bead that I'll need, as well as some pictures of how this looks once completed?

Appreciate your help!

Already reviewed this prior to posting here, it didn't answer the queries that I have posed.

Just a thought, but thinking laterally how about sticking a timber bead / decorative moulding to the top of the coving and overpainting to give a cove with a fluted / decorative edge at the top?

??????????? It has links to all the relevant beads you have asked about and explains how they are fitted and the effect they give......

That's a rather nice idea actually, it avoids messing around with plasterboard beads and can also be applied after the ceiling has been reboarded and skimmed!

I'll look into this, thanks!

Thanks all - so at present I'm considering this stuff:

http://www.builderdepot.co.uk/speed-pro-514-3m-drywall-feature-bead-return-for-board-galvanised.html

...the main reason is that if I were to butt the boards up to the current coving, they'd be level with where the coving starts to curve and therefore it would look odd, even if using a bead. Applying a wooden trim/bead (as suggested above) is one good solution that could work but might be hard trying to find a suitable wooden bead.

So...using the above linked bead, a small gap/trench would be left between the boards and coving, creating a nice shadow effect and hopefully delivering what I'm trying to achieve.

I've read about a bead that can be applied around the edge of the boards, but can't find any pictures or references to show how this might look in the context of a ceiling?

Has anyone done this and can link me to the type of bead that I'll need, as well as some pictures of how this looks once completed?

Once sorted I'll update this thread with progress and pictures showing how it looks after, to help others searching for what I am, pictures of the finished effect in the context of a ceiling.

It's a pretty stupid system as it must be using IP addresses to check whether a user has visited already and exceeded the 'guest' count. Some ISP's are still using random IP addressing which means that upon each connection to the internet, you might get an IP previously used by someone else that week.

Unfortunately no, I found that thread before posting this one, it doesn't have pictures of the end result.
