why would u put aquapanel on a ceiling??

Probably cos the architect has specified it and its outside, whats wrong with that the way to go better than green board, ive seen that done.

That will be SM700 base, fully meshed , with a Conni s finish.

Render, External Insulation, Certification and Brochures

This will give you something to think about.

Not really mate it's pretty straight forward, you know you can score the board with a stanley knife and crack em like plasterboard eh (slightly harder but same principle) and you can get the stainless steel screws from B&Q at a fraction of the cost of the ones supplied by knauf and are the same ones , tape the joints, render and mesh and top simples:RpS_wink:

Do you use the 100mm scrim or normal stuff?

hello

yes it's the architect who said put it on the ceiling and he's specified aquapanel exterior basecoat white with aquapanel exterior mineral finish white.the carpenters have fixed the aquapanel.
do you scratch the basecoat or just leave it reasonably flat to take the finish?
do i trowel the finish smooth like thistle or rub it up like sand cement render?
the joint tape is 100mm wide and then i have to mesh all over with a roll thats 1m wide

thanks for your help so far!

Get it on and let it pick right up and sponge float it with a bit of water or take the lines out with a trowel, you want the base coat perfect for the finish mate

Yes it's a good site with some good advice and knowledgeable people, with the exception of the odd clown, but in general it's good
