(6) Typical Concealed Ceiling System - Ceiling Joists
Refer to Fig 71
Electrical, mechanical and plumbing services can make suspended ceiling systems difficult to install.
The height of a project can also render the installation of a suspended ceiling system uneconomical.
To solve this problem Peer steel studs can be used as ceiling framing members in areas such as corridors and bathrooms.
Refer to span table CS-01 for ceiling joist sizes and spacing.
- Mark position of tracks at ceiling level on wall as per working drawings.
- Fix these perimeter tracks with appropriate fasteners close to stud (ceiling joist location) at 600 mm
maximum centres.
- Cut the studs to required length.
- Fit the studs in to the tracks.
- Provide and fix bridging members at the location as per table CS-01
- Install ceiling lining board as per manufacturer’s specification.
