How long does it take to install a ceiling?

The time it takes to install a ceiling greatly depends on the size of the ceiling and the condition of the ceiling that is already in the room. However, it shouldn’t take more than 1 or 2 days to install a ceiling in a 5m² room. You’re likely to already have a ceiling that the installers need to remove first. Remember to factor this process in when you are estimating the time. Nevertheless, ceiling installers in Marble Hall should be able to provide you with an accurate time estimation.

How do I prepare for a ceiling installation?

Try to remove furniture and valuable items from the room where the ceiling will be installed. Since the ceiling is at a high level, you probably won’t have to remove everything from the room. However, replacing a ceiling usually generates a lot of dust which your furniture could be exposed to. Instead of spending hours trying to clean the furniture, it’s better to move it out the way and prevent it from being damaged.

What kind of ceilings are on the market?

There are so many different options for ceilings in Marble Hall, it might be overwhelming trying to decide what looks best. Nevertheless, some options are far more expensive than others. Here are the most popular types of ceilings in South Africa: 1.Standard ceiling board: These are 6mm thick ceiling boards nailed or screwed into the brandering (wooden structure in the roof). There is no need to plaster a 6mm ceiling board. It’s not strong enough to handle the extra layer. These ceilings are generally painted white. These ceiling boards cannot handle heavy weight. If someone needs to go inside your roof, make sure they avoid stepping on them 2.Flush plastered ceilings: Flushed plastered ceilings are stylish and have a very nice finish. It’s a 9mm board and it has the strength to carry plaster. This means it’s less likely to sag over time and far easier to maintain. Flush plastered ceilings can be painted too. Most people in Marble Hall opt for a white ceiling. 3.Suspended ceilings: Suspended ceilings are common in offices. A grid system is suspended or hung from a concrete slab in the roof. Suspended ceilings provide easy access to the roof and make it easy to move around cables and wires. 4:Wooden ceilings: Wooden planks are lined up together to create a beautiful ceiling that matches the rest of the room. Wooden ceilings are also incredibly sturdy. 5.Knotty-pine ceilings: A pine-wood ceiling that adds warmth and makes the room look larger. The ceiling has the triangular shape of the roof.

Can I paint over a stained ceiling board?

If the ceiling board hasn’t been weakened by any kind of liquid substance, it’s okay to paint over it. However, you need to make sure that the stain is completely dry and the paint matches the colour of the rest of the ceiling. If you are still unsure of the preparation or colour matching requirements, you should consult ceiling installers in Marble Hall.
