Will tear down the ceiling on the upper floor in all rooms now that it will be renovated and thought to replace the plastic that is there. Since the plastic that is there today was installed before there were interior walls, it goes over the entire ceiling, so when I redo it, I will plastic room by room.
Is it enough with some form of overlap towards the interior walls, and if so, how much, or do I have to plastic all the walls to make it airtight (doesn't feel quite right considering that the interior wall would then be between two layers of plastic)? Against the exterior walls, plastic will be installed from the floor and joined against the ceiling where needed.
Grateful for tips

That was a good tip, I hadn't thought that far myselfTiger79 said:
One problem with that could be that the plastic is very poor, when I tore down on the lower floor the plastic was very thin and also full of holes/torn.
I haven't torn anything up yet so it might be that there is better plastic there.
The best is, as previously written, to save a bit of the old one so you have something to tape the new one onto.
Tape over all the holes.
