METHODOLOGY / PROCEDURE OF INSTALLATION OF FALSE CEILING

WORK METHODOLOGY / PROCEDURE OF INSTALLATION OF 

FALSE CEILING:

 

Ø  Firstly, all required measurements of ceiling (length and width) and ceiling to wall (for height of false ceiling) shall be taken for each room where false ceiling is to be installed.

Ø  Material Requirement shall be calculated depending on size i.e. area of rooms where it needs to be installed as per drawing dimention.

Ø  The ceiling levelling shall be marked with water tube. The ceiling needs to be in one level for correct installation of false ceiling.

Ø  After levelling procedure and marking is complete, marking shall be done on ceiling at distance as per drawing.

Ø  Marking shall be also done in side walls at the height where the false ceiling will be suspended below the original ceiling.

Ø  Hooks of metal ceiling angle strip shall be fixed to the ceiling. These fittings become the chief support points of false ceiling.

Ø  For framing, perimeter channels shall be fitted on the walls at a height where false ceiling will be suspended.

Ø  The perimeter channels and free end of hooks shall be connected with other channels.

Ø  This arrangement becomes the fixed section of false ceiling that acts as the main foundation of false ceiling.

Ø  To hang or support False ceiling from main ceiling, Anchor fasteners if required shall be used. Anchor fasteners provide support to secondary ceiling.

Ø  Sufficient anchorage shall be provided it straight.

Ø  Ceiling sections are then fitted to the main foundation forming much précised framing that enables attaching ceiling board or any other material used for false ceiling.

Ø  The section joints created shall be connected by using clips that offer strong and durable joints. These connecting clips also help for easy installations of ceiling board.

Ø  Once the framing is completed, wiring for lights, fan and other necessary electrical work shall be completed.

Ø  Ceiling Board of approved thickness shall be attached to the framework with help of drywall screws.

Ø  The joints and edges shall be covered and finished by using of jointing compound and paper tape or as recommended by client (if required).

Ø  Once the finishing process is over, MEP team shall be called to install light fittings and any other fittings to do final wiring and other electrical work.

Ø  The ceiling is now ready to be painted (in case of gypsum ceiling board).

Ø  All the diagrams will be obtained at each stage.

 

Same procedure shall be followed for metal ceiling also.
