Neat gypsum corner 45 degrees?

[Herman]

Hello,
I am decorating my upper floor and thinking of putting drywall on the ceiling on existing furring c/c 300. Does anyone have a good tip on how to make the drywall joint between the ceiling and the sloped ceiling look good? It's not a right angle...

Should one use molding or can you spackle it and make it look nice? What is usually done? :-/

I would have bought foldable metal tape and mounted it horizontally at the joint, half down the wall and half up on the ceiling. That way, you get a joint that shouldn't move too much.
Then I would chamfer the boards during assembly, and with a bit of luck and a lot of skill, a latex sealant in the joint should suffice.

Okay, good tips. I'll give it a shot. But there was this thing about luck ... I already have the skill

Yep, metal roofing is great! And it definitely helps when the carpenter's dad is a sheet metal worker! Take a look at when I was trying to put together my scissor truss roof with angles in all directions :

I was able to saw with the backsaw and then got support from the "other side" which turned out really well in the end:

Yes, wow, how stylish! For someone like me whose dad isn't a "plåtis" - do you have any tips on which sheet metal profiles one can use? Foldable sheet metal... hmm.. where can you get that? It wasn't available at byggmax anyway...

Järfälla Byggmarknad at least includes it in their catalog, VBA-100, 50-meter roll for 1163:-. However, you can usually buy metal strips per meter at lumberyards, and it should be noted that this price list is not the most humane...

Thanks, I do have some luck after all

My metalworker made a metal sheet of the same type he bends window sills with. It didn't cost a penny, but he probably made up for it on other jobs... So if you have a metalworking company nearby, drop by and talk to the "guys", it should be easy/cheap to fix. If this doesn’t work, ask a "real" lumberyard for foldable metal bands!

Thank you. Just a thought. I have two gles meeting each other precisely at the angle. Don't you think that, for example, a string of adhesive between the gles would be enough to reduce the movement (and thereby also any cracking?)

Don't you think that a string of setting glue between the slats would be enough to reduce the movement (and thereby any cracking?)

Protect with a latex sealant and it will be good.

Yes, you can always consider it....

1. We already mentioned sheet metal!
2. Sure, you can use adhesive, but it might get a bit tricky/sticky/bumpy....
3. Have you considered something like microlit on the ceiling/wall?
4. Latex is already a given before the final coat
5. Trim, sure, but it's a (small) defeat

Also consider how important the final result is for you/others? If it's important, I personally would go with some sort of metal angle - it evidently works

 

[Herman]

Yes, there will be microlit on the ceiling and sloping ceiling, i.e. even over the joint...

Here there will be no defeats ;D

 

[ByggaNytt]

Alright, sheet metal angle + microlite it is!
I have to recommend the same thing that I've done...

Some "inspiration pictures":

Here it's being plastered to the fullest:



Now it's time to putty/sand, putty/sand, putty/sand before the microlite goes up:

Hehe...well, I really need some inspiration... I've been going for too long in a row that I'm almost starting to get tired.

But now I'm going to get back up again

Thanks for all the answers!
