Attach furring strip for drywall ceiling in lightweight concrete.

[Balthazar81]

Yes, as the title suggests, I am going to attach battens to a ceiling made of lightweight concrete in order to later plasterboard and install spotlights.

My question is simply how to best attach the battens to the ceiling to avoid having the whole setup fall on my head while eating breakfast. I've considered screwing with these https://www.byggmax.se/lättbetongskruv-p24376 but they felt incredibly brutal. Do you have any tips/experience with similar problems?

It works fine! Just remember to pull gently at the end, otherwise the screws will come loose. I haven't tested exactly the lättbetongskruven you linked to, but they probably work just as well as any others.

Will work with lightweight concrete screw, but you have to buy the right length. It looked quite long. However, you will probably need to pre-drill the gaps.

Did they turn out well? Planning to do the same thing soon.

It turned out great. I followed the advice in the thread and it worked perfectly.
