fixing interior ceiling panels, suggestions?

[twester]

hi everyone!

I'm sitting here looking for information on how to attach my panel ceiling from Byggmax (the MDF model).

There are currently rough boards on the studs.

I've got my compressor going and I'm interested in buying a nail/staple gun, looked a bit at the cheap models (Biltema, Jula, K-Rauta, Clas Ohlson).

But what should one choose, staples or nails? And which model of these?

Thanks in advance

Hi everyone!

I'm sitting around looking for info on how to attach my panel roof from Byggmax (the MDF model).

There's currently tongue-and-groove boards on the beams.

I've got my compressor up and running and am eager to buy a brad nail/staple gun, I've looked at some of the cheaper models (Biltema, Jula, K-rauta, Classe).

But what should I choose, staples or brads? And which model of these?

Thanks in advance

Brads, preferably 16g as it’s for the ceiling, but 18 works too.

Then I'll buy one that takes 16, is there a thicker dyckert for that? Tried to find some information. There are too many models.

Is there no risk of shooting through the MDF boards when using dyckert? I'm not very experienced with this type of tool. But I don't feel like hand-nailing or using a screwdriver

Have heard that 18g is not approved for roofs.

Could be true. Instructions on panel roofs don't tell too much when I've looked.

Should I play it safe and add a bead of glue when I get started?

Glue is never wrong. Just as long as it doesn't get too messy a montage for you.

Nail gun sounds like the most convenient option in this case.

I often use PL600 at home, it's convenient and avoids the mess.
It might be overkill, but the idea is that the ceiling should stay put for a long time.

Lucky this forum exists. Was pretty sure that a staple gun was preferable.

The previous ceiling was a panel model that felt like some type of tritex (spelling), it was attached along the wall with anchor nails and then with heavy staples.

Others can surely do this better than me, but I used clips on the roofs I installed, about 200m2.

Nothing has happened yet in 6 years....i.e. all the roofs are still up

Forgot .... no glue "wasn't needed"
