Will the roof hold ?

[sled]

Hello!

I'm working on lowering the ceiling in the bathroom.

I'm using 28x70 slatted panels.

I've screwed "slatted" around the ceiling against the walls as a frame.

The problem is that the neighbor has a bathroom above. Therefore, I'm hesitant to screw into the middle of the ceiling. I've glued angle irons in the middle of the ceiling with PL400 that I've screwed the "slatted" into.. Should I buy steel bands and run them across the "slatted"?

Will this hold up?

Very grateful for comments..

Hmm don't understand what the neighbor's bathroom has to do with your screws?

The neighbor's drainage from the shower, washbasin, and toilet runs through my ceiling / his floor to the stack in a corner.

but don't use too long screws then.

At least need to come in with a 30 mm plug?

I missed writing that.. the roof is made of concrete.. and to screw, I would need to hammer away with the impact drill? I want to avoid that..

Don't you think the glue will hold?

I would probably choose to fasten the angles with a bolt gun, but it wouldn't hurt anything if you drilled several 6x30mm holes either.

However, does the glue hold provided that it's well cleaned and without any old plaster or paint you're gluing into? But I don't really understand why you want such a flimsy dimension on the timber that you can't take something self-supporting if you want to avoid attaching anything to the ceiling?

I forgot to write that the ceiling is concrete, so to screw I would need to use a hammer drill? I want to avoid that.

I would probably have chosen to fasten the angles with a bolt gun, but it certainly won't hurt if you drill a dozen 6x30mm holes either.

Sure, the glue holds as long as it is well cleaned and not some old plaster or paint you are gluing onto? But I don't quite understand why you want such a flimsy dimension for the wood that you can't take something self-supporting if you want to avoid attaching anything to the ceiling?

Chose the dimension of the wood because I want to lower the ceiling as little as possible.

Screwed up the drywall today. I tested hanging from the ceiling where it was glued and nothing happened. Just hope it will hold and not start sagging in the future.

The room is not particularly large. The frame that is screwed all around is solid as a rock. Between the frame, there is about 230 cm. I have glued 4 angle irons to the ceiling with PL400 and then screwed these into the "glesen". Only time will tell if it holds or not.

It will undoubtedly hold then, the glue will stick like a rock if only the glue it's attached to holds but it seems to do so and the plaster isn't heavy.

It will definitely hold, the glue will stick like a rock as long as that glue is secured but it seems to be, and the plaster isn't that heavy

Thanks, that sounds very good..

Maybe I've worried a bit unnecessarily but I'm not so much for glue.

Thanks for all the comments
