I am in the process of buying a new house and I know I will have to replace some of the ceilings. Not being afluent I will have to tackle some jobs myself and so I had planned on taking the old ceilings down myself, plaster boarding and then having them skimmed proffesionally.
Whilst searching for advise I came across one posting that talked of a product called Fermacell and I visited their site here . The questions I have are as follows.
1. What are the benefits of Fermacell apart from noise reduction?
2. Would it make economic sense to use Fermacell and not have to get a skimmer in or is putting the reccomended FST on a job in itself.
and finally.
3. When taking down the old ceilings what happens with the coving? Does that need to come down too or can it be preserved in some way?
cheers
