False Ceiling

The document discusses gypsum false ceilings. Gypsum boards that are 9-15mm thick are fixed to a supporting framework of GI channels. The GI suspenders are fixed to the slab above and connected to primary channels spaced at 1200mm. Secondary channels are attached to the primary channels at 600mm and perimeter channels are fixed to the walls. Gypsum boards are screwed to the ceiling sections and joints are finished with paper tape and three coats of joint compound to prevent cracks. Special corner beads are used at horizontal and vertical board junctions to ensure a good finish.

FALSE CEILING

CONCEALED FALSE CEILING- GYPSUM BOARD
GYPSUM FALSE CEILING –
The gypsum false ceiling consists of gypsum boards which are fixed over a
support system of GI framework. Gypsum, which is hydrated calcium silicate,
is available in boards of 9mm, 12.5mm and 15mm thicknesses. The boards are
available in sizes of 1200mm x 2400mm
INSTALLATION –
The different parts of the supporting system are –
 GI suspenders, which are fixed onto the slab above by means of a soffit cleat.
 The suspenders are then fixed onto the Primary channel, which is at 1200mm centre to centre in either direction.
 Below the primary channels are the secondary channels or the ceiling section, which is screwed onto the primary channel. The ceiling s
are spaced at 600mm centre to centre in either direction.
 Perimeter channels are to be fixed onto the walls
 The gypsum boards are screwed onto these ceiling sections with self taping screws.
 The joints of the gypsum boards are finished with a special paper tape over which jointing compound is applied (3 coats of increasing w
150mm,300mm and 450mm), to prevent the formation of cracks.
 These joints are finally sanded well and the board is painted over using normal emulsion paint.

THINGS TO CONSIDER –
 The edges of the boards are to be treated carefully, especially at the junction of horizontal and vertical boards. Special corner beads a
available for such applications, to ensure a good finish.
 The jointing between the boards are to be done as specified, to ensure a smooth finish, and also to avoid formation of cracks
COVE LIGHTING DETAIL
GRID FALSE CEILING
Grid systems are, generally, an inverted ‘T’ design, with a table (exposed face) width of
15 or 24mm. They are rolled from galvanised steel strip with a finished facing of
painted steel or aluminium. Grid systems may also have an exposed face that is rolled
to a profile or have a profiled aluminium section applied.
