It's a bit tight but should have worked anyway. If you screw, there is a risk that the material will crack, which can have these consequences. Clamps are better for these assemblies. If you screw, you need to be a bit careful. But in this case, there might be another reason. Anything can happen...Murphy's law.
Screwed through the MDF board. Into the ceiling joists... the screws are still in the ceiling...
Noticed that the boards were really porous, so I screwed carefully...
I guess the boards expanded from the summer heat, and therefore pushed loose from the screws or something like that... had a good margin to the walls. But a week ago, I noticed that the seams have pressed down in the middle of the ceiling, as if the boards have gotten longer...
Screw, nail, or clips could be used to fasten the ceiling if I remember correctly...
These are pre-painted MDF boards with a beadboard look.
I have the same in the kitchen+dining room, so I guess I'll have to wait for them to fall down too... :/
Considering screwing them up again, maybe with clips, and adding an extra beam between them all so they're twice as close...
I have those upholstered chipboards in the bedroom, convenient but I don't think they're very pretty...
But of course, the ones still on the ceiling are nicer than the ones that have fallen on the floor...
I spent the day installing Huntonit Symphony and found the initial image quite... inspiring :eek:
Anyway, Huntonit can be screwed with drywall screws, it's in the installation instructions. Screw spacing 10-15 cm. But I drilled through the plates first, partly because it's so close to the edge and partly because it was difficult to push a drywall screw through the plate. I don't see any visible deformation. I guess we'll see in winter when it gets drier...
The fact that the plates felt porous sounds a bit worrying. I find the Huntonit to be almost rock hard.
