Suspended Drywall Ceiling C Channel And Hat Channel
Alright I got the local code enforcement guy to go along with the suspended drywall ceiling talked about in another post.
I have been looking around on line for suppliers or specifications for a channel and hat channel ceiling system. Everything for drywall seems to be a t channel like a tile suspended ceiling. The problem is that the bar joists to hang from are 6' on center and the max span between wires is 4 feet. Does anyone know who still makes the c chanel system? |

Re: Suspended Drywall Ceiling C Channel And Hat Channel
you might have to run unistrut between the joists. I was just up in one the other day and they used 2'' metal studs hung @ 4' oc than screwed more underneath them at 16" oc..... it had been up there a while it looked like they could of used some more wires....

Just shoot the wires to the metal deck between the bar joists- it's done all the time.

Re: Suspended Drywall Ceiling C Channel And Hat Channel
Make a grid with the hat channel. First grid on 6 foot centers over the hangers then the grid conneced to it on two foot centers running the opposite way. Use the L channels against the studs. Use hat channel for your runners.
At least thats the way I did it and never had any problems. Mechanical rooms had to have fire coded rock on the ceiling. Not dropped ceilings. |

Re: Suspended Drywall Ceiling C Channel And Hat ChannelQuote:
Absolutley, this would be the easiest method to still use sheet rock grid. Double up the wires and let them angle. NOt to far though, there is still a code on the degree to which a wire can angle although im not sure the degree. also starting your grid with a wire pulling your grid back to that starting wall allows you to work away from it with minimal use of clamps, although you will be screwing the grid to your wall mold with pan head screws once you got it all squared up. |
