3. HOW TO INSTALL POP CEILING?
Mark the area of the false ceiling on the soffit (main ceiling)
with points at distances of 4 feet each. Drill a 12mm hole at
each of these points. Mark points on the walls at the height
where the false ceiling will be suspended below the main
ceiling.
4. Affix a rawl plug in each hole and fix a soffit cleat through the
rawl plug. Fix a metal ceiling angle strip to the soffit cleat.
These installations (at each point) become the anchor points
of the false ceiling.
5. Fix a perimeter channel on the walls at the height where the
false ceiling will be suspended below the main ceiling. This acts
as the frame for the false ceiling.
Connect the free ends of the metal ceiling angle strips to the
perimeter channel using intermediate channels with metal-to-
metal screws. This completes the fixed part of the false ceiling,
which anchors the suspended false ceiling.
6. Snug-fit the ceiling sections to the perimeter channel,
perpendicular to the intermediate channels, at distances
of 1.5 feet each. These form the skeletal frame for
attaching plasterboards.
Connect ceiling sections to the intermediate channels
using a connecting clip. This offers a strong and flexible
joint, facilitating easy installation of plasterboards.
7. Fix plasterboards of the desired thickness to the ceiling
sections with drywall screws. Fix boards in a staggered layout
so that joints do not appear in continuous straight lines. This
reduces the possibilities of cracks in the future.
