Title: Plaster board to wood ceiling Post by TrevorP on Sep 4th, 2021, 3:31pm Advice please , I have a t&g wood ceiling and would like to change to plaster board. My query is if boards screwed straight to the t&g would I be liable to get cracks due to expansion of the wood, or should I remove t&g and screw to joists? Hope someone can help with advice. Trevor |
