Roof panel from ByggMax/ jem&fix

[tobbetk]

It's time to start picking up panels for the ceiling, and since there are close to 60 sqm to buy, we are considering buying a slightly cheaper one


Anyone with experience with
Jem&Fix's ceiling panels?

Ceiling? White? Take the cheapest one. They all look pretty much the same.

 

[tobbetk]

Future ceiling in the hallway, kitchen, and living room.
Thinking more about the quality or if we should go with panels from huntonit (?) instead.
The budget says as cheap as possible....

I renovated my kitchen/dining area in my house last year and chose the cotton white variant from Byggmax. The area is about 25 m2. I found it easy to install and stylish. I also wanted a cheaper, affordable option for ceiling panels and have not regretted my choice.

Otherwise, there is ceiling gypsum, gipsplank. https://www.byggmax.se/skivmaterial/gipsskivor/takgips-p07212

The advantage is that you can paint the gypsum, but I'm doubtful about the foil-coated boards.

I have the same as Fel by Åke and am satisfied. No major problems getting it up. Some planks differed by millimeters in width, which annoyed us perfectionists, but nothing that anyone would even notice when looking up.

Thanks for the picture
I think it looks quite okay, if I can just persuade my partner when she finishes work, then it will probably be one of those

Installed such boards in the rooms upstairs and they are nice to work with, but in the rest of the house, I prefer to avoid it

There will be enough filling and sanding as all the walls on the ground floor need to be plastered

Otherwise, there are ceiling gypsum, gypsum plank.

Bought 70 sqm from byggmax and have put up 20-30 sqm, think it has worked well, got a few small gaps but that's probably mostly because I was on my own and without a lift.

 

[tobbetk]

That sounds reassuring, have you screwed or nailed up the boards?

We used a nail gun with our Byggmax panel. We also noticed that there were gaps if we tried to do it alone, so we recommend being two people. One to hold and press the panel in the right place and one to nail/screw.

Best to use a staple gun.
By the way, it's perfectly fine to paint ceiling panels like Huntonit.

A reflection I have made is that ceiling tiles rarely cost under a hundred kronor per square meter, but you can buy laminate flooring for fifty! :eek:
Probably less competition in ceiling tiles, because purely in terms of durability, they can be worse than something you walk on.

There were roofs for 60-70 bucks here at the building store, but it was like a corrugated cardboard sheet with a bit of foil on it, broke just by lifting it. But I agree roofs should be a bit cheaper.

I screwed because I lowered the ceiling and have tried to make it as soundproof as possible, so it's lowered without too many attachment points in the existing ceiling, 45mm insulation, 2×13mm plasterboard, and ceiling panel... hope it turns out well, I'll do the same throughout the apartment I'm building because it's quite noisy.

I screwed up my boards. I was alone when I did it, only had help from a height-adjustable prop. With a little persistence, it went well and I got no gaps. But sure, if there had been two of us, the work would have been smoother and gone faster.
