Plaster board to wood ceiling (Read 1461 times)

TrevorP Junior Member Offline Ask The Trades Posts: 93 Total Thanks: 0 For This Post: 0	Plaster board to wood ceiling Sep 4^th, 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
