Do I have to drill ceiling spars into the beam layer, or can I lay them along the beam layer?

Hi!

It's probably easiest to explain with a picture, so I took some time to make a drawing:

Basement, planning to build a ceiling with spotlights. The yellow zone has 2 x 15mm Gyroproc fire-resistant plasterboard on it, the joists are on the dashed line at approximately 65cm. Click on the image for better readability.



I wonder if I MUST place my battens as I've done at the bottom of the picture, 90 degrees to the joists, or if I can lay them in the same direction as the joists?

On my battens, I then plan to mount drywall, one sheet, and make a lot of spotlights, about 20 of them.

If I lay my battens as you're "supposed" to, it will become extremely difficult for the electrician, right? How do electricians usually work through ceiling battens?

Unfortunately, I need to set up my battens before Tuesday when the electrician comes. I appreciate all feedback

Best regards

you shall 1200 or 900 plasterboard = you shall have at least cc300 28*700 shoot with 70mm

du skall 1200 eller 900 gips = du skall minst ha cc300 28*700 skjut med 70mm

Yes, absolutely, but can I attach the glesen to 2 x 15 mm plasterboards that are already installed or do I need to go into the wooden joists?

ah then you need larger nails. don't you have anything under the plasterboard?

 

[sjndk]

well then you need a bigger nail. don't you have one under the plaster?

Yes, check the picture and it might be clearer what I mean. I just want to make it easier for the electrician's work, but maybe it's silly. More important that the ceiling doesn't collapse, hehe.

do you have a neighbor above you?
normally, you put strapping on the joists. and real classified boxes.
if you put strapping now, you will probably only get conduits to everything

do you have a neighbor above you?
normally, one places spacers on the joists and real certified boxes.
if you put spacers now, you'll probably only get conduits to everything

my apartment is above, I don't quite understand what you mean by "only conduits to everything," I apologize. I'm very new to all of this

is my apartment above, I don't really understand what you mean "just hoses to everything", I apologize. I'm very new to all this

the building height for the sockets becomes wrong when it's already plasterboard.

 

[sjndk]

the construction height for sockets becomes incorrect when there's already drywall.

Ah, precisely, I might have to skip the sockets.

But I can't avoid attaching the furring to the joists?

Furring attached only to 2 x 15 mm drywall can fall down if you put ceiling drywall on it?

 

[SBH]

Ah, right, I guess I'll have to skip the boxes.

But I can't avoid attaching the battens to the joists?

Battens only attached to 2 x 15 mm gypsum can fall off if ceiling gypsum is mounted on it?

you can just use longer screws or nails.
you can also probably cut into the battens.
I don't think the electrician drills into the battens.
