Ceiling Planks

Four simple procedures to install

A framework of PVC battens must be fastened to the existing ceiling or suspended from purlins at 40-60cm intervals. Battens must also be run around the perimeter of the ceiling area. NB Battens must run at right angles to the desired direction of your ceiling planks

Using 12-14mm stainless steel staples, fix the edge trim around the perimeter batten as close as possible to the walls. Calculate the length of plank required by measuring the edge trim on wall (A) to edge trim on wall (B).

Deduct 2cm from this length and cut your plank to this size. Insert plank with the tongue into edge trim and push into position. Now staple plank into place at each batten by fastening through the planks fixing edge.

Once the first is in place, simply push the raining planks into the groove of the preceding plank and staple into position as before. Before installing final plank, ensure you trim the plank to the desired width, then work into the edge trim with a pallet knife.
