Ceiling linings

In this post now that I have some photos I will go back and explain aboout the ceiling linings that we put up.
We used 10mm standard GIB that is 1.2m wide that we screwed 300mm centers using a power screwer with with GIB glue on the ceiling batterns, where we joined 2 sheets across a long room such as the lounge we used a glue covered panel behind the joint line as you will see in some of the photos.
