9.5mm boards

[S a plastering]

Does anyone use these for overboard ceilings if not what the fk are there uses

 

[TonyM]

Only use them on reveals if margins differ.

Same as Tony, painting dab on the back so joiners can get skirts onto door reveals. Sorting other folks cock ups.

Always try to leave a minimum 5mm gap behind upvc door hinges so the plasterer can get his trowel on

Their good for renovation. If you have to sheet lath under the level of the existing/ original plasterwork 12.5 will be sometimes, or more often, be too big for that purpose mate . I probably use them more than 12.5 if I think about it.

I never really used 9.5... always was 12.5 even on overboards...

the thought of lifting a 12.5 now though is making me wince

Yes always they're ideal because they will follow the shape of an uneven ceiling without putting too much pressure on the screws, bit lighter too

That makes no sense what so ever

 

[Ian-s]

I mean that the 12.5 boards are less flexible than the 9.5, so if the existing ceiling is very uneven I need to put more screws in to keep the board tight to it.

So 9.5mm boards will follow the shape of an uneven ceiling…..so you end up with a new uneven ceiling then?

Fk me

No because you can plaster it flat

Just less uneven

 

[Sitemonkey]

90 % of ceilings are uneven. We do new builds there always uneven unless there m.f . Because the joinery is always shite

 

[Burns]

I agree ian

 

[KingCharlesTheTurd]

Well that would depend on how fkin uneven it is dipshit….are we talking just a few mil of skim to level it or half inch of bonding first?

Or you could do it the more obvious and logical way and pack joists out first to bring it below unevenness and then board it

I float ceilings on a regular basis, never of steps, always on planks, a staged room. Packing is not the way forward Imo.

Why?
Why put more weight/plaster directly onto a board than needs to be?

It wont fall of and is far quicker and accurate than packing then skim, that's why mate.

16 screws in all and not one is sunk in ! Annoying c**ts tbh !

I would just fill in any low spots and then skim, your method sounds harder and more time consuming, dipshit

How deep are the "low spots" we are talking about here ?
