Ceiling Board?

Skyhigh

Hi,

I've noticed that in my fathers shop it gets quite dusty, and quite a lot of dust seems to be coming from the ceiling - which is a wooden boarded ceiling, in a bit of a state.
Uneven boards and quite a lot of large gaps between boards - you can even see the dust sneaking through!

[I know this isn't the only source of dust, but I'm pretty sure its the major benefactor, plus it doesn't look too great....]


A complete ceiling strip and refit would be too expensive and take too long - we can't afford to shut extra days in this current climate.

I could seal the gaps in the boards with some caulk or other filler and then paint, but sealing it would mean doing the entire ceiling, which could take a month of Sundays (literally!).

One thing I have seen used, especially on bathrooms and kitchens is a "roof liner".
It's usually plastic and about 4mm to 5mm thick - usually its just screwed and glued to the existing ceiling.

This seems like a good option, since I wouldn't want the weight of standard plaster board on an old ceiling.

It would also be much much quicker to do.

So with that in mind, does anyone know what this board is actually called and where to buy it?

Also, are there any con's for this boarding?



Cheers!
