I am in the process of cutting the ceiling.
One of the spaces is small, and after putting up a test board, it looks like this. So a very small piece left to the wall.
How should I think to
- Make it look as nice as possible
- Have as little waste as possible
Isn't it just a matter of laying it continuously? You cut the last sheet so it fits in row 1, the leftover piece you place at the start of row 2, and so on, that way you avoid a long seam in the same place across the entire roof and the next piece will be longer.
Alternatively, you can cut the first sheet a bit so the last piece is longer.
Or both solutions.
You cut the last board so it fits in row 1, the leftover piece you place first in row 2, and so forth, that way you avoid a long seam in the same place across the entire ceiling and the next piece becomes longer.
Yes, that's usually how it's done.
My question was prompted by the fact that the cut piece in this case becomes so short and if there might be a more ingenious way to solve it. 🙂

Then you trim the first piece in row 1 a bit, then the last short piece becomes longer. Then you continue as usual.
I thought so at first too, but then I'll have waste at both ends of each line.
On the contrary... You only get waste in the first line.
The next line you take the waste from the last piece of the previous one and start with -i.e. continuously...
