Basement ceiling

[PhilipZ]

We are currently renovating the basement. Hobby room and workshop. I'm having trouble deciding what to do with the ceiling. There are joists and I was thinking of installing a ceiling between the joists and considering drywall. My concern is how much potential dripping from the pipes they can handle, as there are conduits we want to conceal. Should we place some protection above the drywall, or can drywall withstand a bit of water splatter? There is no dripping today, but if the drywall gets completely ruined by a little water, it could become expensive in the long run, yet it might be good if it clearly shows leakage.

We don't want to spend a fortune making it too nice since we won't be living in the basement.

How would you do it?

Dropp från rören de klarar då det går ledningar som vi vill dölja.

Drips from the pipes?
If you mean leakage, it's an advantage if you discover it quickly.
Condensation from cold water pipes. Insulate the pipes, and there will be no condensation.

A bit hard to understand your question!

We installed Byggmax ceilings in our basement ceiling. We have ciporex, which we both screwed and applied assembly adhesive on the panels.

My question is whether you would recommend plasterboards as a ceiling in the basement and if the plasterboards could withstand a few drops of water without needing to be replaced as soon as they become slightly moist. Of course, it's good if you can quickly detect any leakage since there will be pipes above the ceiling.

I recommend no roof if you're going to have water leaks. Fix the leak and it will be a non-issue.

I don’t recommend any ceiling if you have water drip. Fix the drip so it becomes a non-issue.

Of course, it SHOULD NOT drip. But IF it does. So the question is plasterboard or other material as a ceiling?

You are not allowed to install pipe joints at all if you want to comply with Säkert Vatten. If your ceiling gets damaged by dripping water, you risk not receiving compensation from the insurance. If you want to put up plasterboards, you should install furring strips with 30 c/c first, otherwise, it will sag.

Of course, it SHALL not drip. But IF it were to happen, the question is drywall or another material for the ceiling

It works perfectly with drywall in the ceiling, I have it myself in the basement.

It works excellently with plaster in the ceiling, I have it myself in the basement.

Thank you Henkan
Have you painted one/both sides or left it as is?

I have filled and painted as usual, filled the joints between the boards and painted one side.

One: It should not leak.
Two: If it leaks, it's only good if it is discovered as soon as possible.
Three: If it does leak and you have managed to install a new ceiling, you can surely fix the damage at such a low cost that you don't even need to use your insurance!

Four: What does your concern consist of? Do you have a risk construction?

Three: If it leaks and you've managed to install a new ceiling, you're likely able to fix the damage at such a low cost that you don't even need to use your insurance!

beginner. So one is extra inquisitive about what others have done and no, it's not a risk construction.
