Hi all,
Our lath and plaster ceiling in the bathroom has decided to fall down, so its time to replace. Dust and mess aside, once I've pulled down all the plaster and laths what thickness of plasterboard should I replace it with? Also, should I use the foil backed stuff as it is a bathroom?
Oh, I was also wondering what the best way of finishing it is? I am not too bad at skimming but have never tackled a ceiling which I expect would be fairly tricky. How does taping and filling work when it comes to covering the screws? I am aware that you simply tape and fill the tapered edges at the joins, but am confused as to what happens with the screw heads where the board is screwed to a joist mid-board IYSWIM.
Thanks in advance, Richard.
