Q:I now decorate a facade, want to save some money, the original use of light steel gypsum board separated from the good, but not what I want the effect, I would like to use the original material change, and listen to people say that gypsum board movement fragile. Demolished on the bad equipment. The specific situation is that there are two rooms are separated by gypsum board, that is, there are four walls are gypsum board, I would like to change the main are: 1, all the gypsum wall to move the location. 2, which has two walls need to take off a large part of the excess. Would you like to ask my friend to see if my program is feasible? I left this point, all reward

This is a bit harder. Under normal circumstances, light steel keel can be reused, but also pay attention to the demolition method, otherwise it is likely to cause damage; gypsum board will generally be damaged, if you want to keep the gypsum board intact - in fact is not Possible - demolition of the labor costs it needs, I am afraid it will be comparable with the price of gypsum board, and then removed or old, will affect the re-construction. Therefore, in this regard, it is better to buy a new gypsum board to be cost-effective.

Q:I am trying to hang a 30 LBS item from a drop ceiling, with no luck. I would like to use 2-3 eyebolts to distribute the weight, but everytime I think I figured it out, it pulls right through. The ceiling can't be very thick at all. Can this be done?

30 lbs is quite a bit of weight. You will need to screw into a joist. Ay type of toggle bolt just through the drywall will not hold it.

Q:I am planning my basement remodel and love the idea of a tongue and groove look for the ceiling. Is it possible to use painted wall panels screwed into the ceiling beams? That way the mechanics of the house can still be accessed but I don't have an ugly drop ceiling.

Yes. But use screws so the sheets remain above the head. They look great.

Q:Prepare the ceiling, want to know how to use light steel keel is long, such as a light steel keel is 3 meters long, and my room is 4.8 meters long, that keel is how to pick up to ensure the length of the Can I guarantee strength?

Do not have a special connector ah. Wood workers now have a tool in hand, the two keel lap, in the coincidence of the parts directly with a few pressure tools, you can. Similar to the rivet, but this tool does not pull rivets, it is directly to the two layers of keel out of a small hole, huh, huh. Woodworking all know.

Q:Decorative lights open to the light steel keel how to do

Can be displaced, in the case of non-shift, saw off the vice keel, and then in the side to add a vice keel or wooden side. If it is only a downlight cut off a deputy dragon, you can not add. The main keel saw to add the boom.

Q:We are working on a store front which has ceiling tiles in it. However we wanted an open air look, maybe leaving the grids, but no tiles. We were going to paint the grids and tiles, but have discovered that it would be too expensive, because we would have to paint them back before moving. My question would be, above the tiles is just a metal roof, which is a flat roof, so it would have the tar on top of the metal I think, is it a good idea to just remove the tiles for the open air look? or would that make the building too inefficient during the winter and summer?

It will make it colder. Warm air travels upward & you would have no ceiling to stop that escaping heat. Ceiling tiles. We had some that looked awful. We took them down & layed them on the yard. Vacuumed them and with a paint brush, painted lightly (not in the 'dimples', cracks of tile) so the 'old' still showed in the 'dips', then replaced when dry.

Q:Light steel keel fire rating?

Light steel keel itself is a kind of steel, so fire, the general will not.

Q:We have a drop ceiling but rather large holes for the many light fixtures (at least 20, like a grid of light bulbs as decoration) in our basement. The holes are about 2 inches in diameter and the light bulb doesn't fill up the holes completely. Is it safe to live down here without removing the insulation?

It's not clear from your description if you have recessed lights or not. Recessed lights can have an IC rating meaning you can put insulation right next to or over the recessed lights (IC stands for insulation contact). If the recessed lights aren't IC rated, then you have to leave a gap of 3 between the fixture and the insulation. Regardless of the above, you can always switch to compact fluorescent or LED bulbs which will generate far less heat for a given amount of light.
