Quick question about framing

[evoline]

Hi,
I'm just wondering if the joists should be tight against the walls when framing the ceiling??
Or should it be like laying flooring with about 2mm to the walls??

Thanks

You mean when you're installing the glesen? Doesn’t hurt to have a little clearance there, the glesen only serves as a support for the ceiling.

And if you're not finished with the walls yet, you might consider adding an extra cm, so the glesen doesn't disappear too much behind drywall, double drywall, OSB+drywall, råspont, or whatever you plan to have on the wall.

And if you're not done with the walls yet, you might want to consider adding an extra cm, so that the studs won't disappear too much behind plasterboard, double plasterboard, OSB+plasterboard, rough paneling, or whatever you plan to put on the wall.

Unfortunately, I don't understand what you mean; I am going to install the framework on the ceiling, and like on the floor, I'm afraid it will move, so I was just wondering if I need a bit of space between the studs and the wall edges.

I will then have 13mm plasterboard and then install spotlights.

There is wallpaper on the walls now, but I will paint over it.

Thanks

I mean that if you place the sparse block against the wall, or a few mm away, but haven't put boards on the walls yet, it might be a bit awkward.

An example: sparse block against wall studs.
Then you put, for example, 12mm chipboard + 13 mm plaster on the wall, under the sparse block so to speak.

Then you have to screw the ceiling very close to the wall, as almost half of the sparse panel is covered by the wall's board material. Then it might be just as well to pull out the sparse block 2-3 cm away from the wall studs.

If your walls are already finished, then this is obviously unnecessary.

Guessing TS means sparse against gables. Clearly, things move a little, that's why you should apply latex in transitions when drywalling.
