Open car port ceiling

[vince909]

Hi all I’ve got a job to cover the artex in a car port, it’s a dry ceiling undercover but is open at either end( basically a tunnel.would you go with normal bond and set or flatten with a thin coat if ocr or similar?

Cement board screwed thru and OCR - open ends means it will get wet - drivng rain, frost, condensation, you name it.

wouldnt use gypsum

cement board and render or masterboard with capped screws.

Regs these days would need a fire protection so an a1 fire rated board would be a must

I'd f**k it right off mate !

You sure it's artex? Not known that survive outside because of frost and damp.

I've seen it survive if painted, bit scrappy around the edges but several years old when I saw it. Good point by Dan about fire Regs - may or might not apply for an existing carport, usually if you touch it you have to bring it up to current Regs - But is OCR fire rated? Or would that be a No Go?

ocr isnt fire rated. the protection is in the board.
