Tips on how to Batten off Internal Vaulted Ceilings and Timber Walls

Post by conradkr » Mon Mar 09, 2020 9:41 am

Hi All

I am busy insulating a 100 square metre room with vaulted ceilings. The roof has four diffreent pitches of roof (neighbours objected to planning in a BIG way - so we had to go this route).

I am due to complete insulation this week and now need advise on the easiest way to batten off the internal roof trusses to prep them for plasterboarding (which i am also doing!).

SPEC OF THE PROJECT :
    Timber frame
    100 sq metre open plan room
    Vaulted ceilings with 4 different pitches
    Architect & structural engineer : specified 50x50 timber battens & all other specs used.

WALLS :

Timber frame (height 226)
insulation
To then be covered with 9mm OSB
Battened off with 50x50 timber battens to create service void
12.5mm Plasterboard to finish[/list]

ROOF
Insulation
50x50 battens to compress the h control insulation and create service void

Now the bit i need help with: i need to know the easiest and quickest way to batten off these walls and roof. I have never done it before and want to ensure i do this correctly and in the most efficient way possible

I have attached pictures and noted how i think i need to do this - any advice is much appreciated ! Wall battens shown in red, roof battens shown in yellow and plasterboard shown in green
