Today, let's discuss the most basic and commonly used light steel keel plasterboard ceiling technology from three aspects:

1. Main components and basic structure.

2. Construction technology of light steel keel plasterboard ceiling.

3. Key control points and main areas of focus.

**01. Main Components and Basic Structure**

To understand all the details of a material or technology, one must thoroughly understand everything about it, especially its composition.

1. Main Components

The light steel keel plasterboard ceiling, based on the materials mainly used in construction, is mainly divided into six major components: hangers, main keel (load-bearing keel), secondary keel, transverse support keel, matching hanging fittings and bolts, and plasterboard.

2. Basic Structure

Using the light steel keel as the supporting structural framework, with plasterboard and latex paint as the decorative materials, in actual projects, more than 90% of the decoration projects adopt this method.

**02. Construction Process**

During construction, the main steps for the light steel keel plasterboard ceiling are:

Preparation – Measurement and marking – Installation of hangers and main keel – Installation of secondary keel and transverse support keel – Concealed acceptance of ceiling internal electrical and mechanical systems and keel – Installation of plasterboard.

1. Preparation

Complete the design drawings and processing preparation of construction materials beforehand.

In addition to the necessary materials, equipment, personnel, and other conditions at the construction site, it is also necessary to ensure that the scaffolding has been accepted, the use of electric tools is within the specified working hours, and the mechanical noise meets environmental protection requirements.

2. Measurement and Marking

According to the construction drawing elevation, mark the ceiling level line on the walls and columns with ink lines, and draw the position of the hangers on the ceiling. Ensure that the distance between hangers is between 900-1200mm, the first row of hangers is less than 300mm from the wall, and the hangers along the direction of the main keel are in a straight line, while also considering the position of the lamps to prevent conflicts with the hangers.

3. Installation of Hangers and Main Keel

Drill holes and install expansion bolts and hangers; the general ceiling uses hot-dip galvanized full-thread hangers with a diameter of Φ8.

Install the hanging fittings on the main keel according to the spacing of the hangers in the length direction of the main keel, and install the hanging fittings in an alternating direction (to eliminate the eccentric force when the keel is hung, resulting in better rigidity).

The spacing for installing the main keel should be 900-1200mm, and it should be installed parallel to the long direction of the room, with an arch, and the overhanging section should be ≤300mm; otherwise, additional hangers should be added.

Adjust the keel to the correct position according to the elevation control line. After the main keel, hanging fittings, and hangers are installed, adjust them to be straight and level for the entire room.

When adjusting the main keel of a large area ceiling, pay attention to the middle part of the ceiling, which should be slightly arched, with the arch height generally being ≥1/200-1/300 of the short span of the room.

4. Installation of Secondary Keel and Transverse Support Keel

Install the secondary keel and transverse support keel in sequence, with the spacing of the secondary keel generally being 400mm and the transverse support keel 600mm. The hanging fittings for the secondary keel also need to be installed in an alternating direction to eliminate deformation due to force.
