THE CEILING

The building is in an Industrial area in the Melbourne suburb of South Oakleigh. Being in an industrial area noise generation is not a problem but naturally external noise getting in is a problem. We are building on the second floor which is a 6" concrete slab on a I steel frame. The external walls are double brick and the ceiling is held up on steel trusses and is asbestos cement on 5 x 2 purlins.

Facing North

Facing South

So we are now starting with lining the ceiling with 16mm (5/8") soundcheck plasterboard and 4" rockwool in the cavity.

oops! your slip is showing!!

Power screwdrivers!!

................

Rockwool in the cavity and the trusses sealed

Finished at last!!

 

Next week we start on the framing.

Cheers John
