Installation of Wall and Ceiling Lining

Installation of Wall and Ceiling Lining
The first step involved in the installation of wall and ceiling lining was to prepare an area. We had to build a temporary wall each 2.4m long.

In each of the walls we built we had to allow for windows that were getting installed.

Once we had our walls built, in position and plumb, we started to noggin out for the pine lining boards.

I had to find the height where my boards finished and the plaster met and put a noggin on its flat all the way around the wall to ensure there was a solid fixing point for both materials.

I took a measurement and found centre, then plumbed a line down. This is where i started with my first pine lining board.

The first board is to go on the centre line in the centre of the board this way it will ensure when you get to the ends, if you need to rip a piece down then it will be of equal widths at both ends.

When you are nailing the pine lining boards to the framework, there are a couple of different options. You can nail it at the very top so the nails are hidden by the dado mould and at the bottom so they are covered by the skirting.

You can also secret nail through the joins which is more common when installing them to ceiling's.
