How to Install Plasterboard to Ceilings

Installing plasterboard to ceilings has always been a difficult task, normally one that requires two men – one at each end of the plasterboard to help offer it up to the ceiling joists. Only once the plasterboard panel is up against the joists can you then use a T-bar to keep the plasterboard panel held temporarily against the ceiling whilst one of the guys quickly fixes the plasterboard securely to the ceiling joists using nails or screws.

There are various dangers involved in this, including potential injuries to the back from lifting up the plasterboard (which itself is an awkward shape and weight even for two people to lift and place precisely against the ceiling.

Luckily there are various tools on the market that make the installation of plasterboard onto ceilings much easier, however these plasterboard tools are often large, bulky, heavy, and take up a lot of storage space.

An example of such a tool used for installing plasterboards to ceilings is the plasterboard hoist, otherwise known as the plasterboard lifter. This plasterboard hoist is a huge piece of kit, and requires dedicated storage space.

In essence the plasterboard hoist is really just a panel supporter that allows you to balance the plasterboard sheet onto it and then use the wheel on the side to raise the plasterboard sheet up to the required height necessary to securely fix the board to the ceiling joists. This is very effective but does need a lot of space to keep it stored when you are not installing plasterboards to ceilings.

A far better, and much more recent development in plasterboard ceiling installation tools is the highly acclaimed ‘Ceiling Board Hanger’. This is a very compact tool that can easily be stored in a toolbox and does not require lots of storage space when it is not being used. The ceiling board hanger comprises two pieces – the joist clamps and the plasterboard clamps. One set clamps securely onto the joists whilst the others clamp securely onto the plasterboard using a clever anti-compression fixings so as not to damage the ceiling board during installation.

Now the best bit – this new tool actually allows just ONE person to safely install a whole sheet of plasterboard – previously the job of two men. Once the two clamps are linked to each other, you can simply walk the board up using the hinge effect and then simply hold the plasterboard in place with a T-bar whilst you secure it to the ceiling joists.

The ceiling board hanger is available exclusively from www.ceilingboardhanger.co.uk and is the new must-have plasterboard installation tool for all plasterers and DIY enthusiasts alike. Hanging plasterboard on ceilings has never been so quick and easy. This really is the new way and only way to install plasterboard to ceilings, check out the installation video on their website to see just how easy it is to fit plasterboard to ceilings using the ceiling board hanger tool.
