Step 1 Marking of Ceiling Uprights Mark the
position of the ceiling studs around the
perimeter of the space on the top of drywall
ceiling framing using a pencil. Also, note the
position of any boxed lights, electrical boxes,
and accessories. You will need to understand
where the gaskets and fittings are when it comes
to the drywall ceiling.

Step 3 Installation of the initial panel The
corner of the ceiling, drywall ceiling lift, and
hold the sheet of drywall in place with the help
of another person, a T Brace or a freight
elevator. Either one T Brace could be propped up
or 2 T Braces could be propped up with each other
to secure the sheet work. These braces should
also be slightly higher than the height of the
ceiling. Hold the sheet carefully to secure
it. What is drywall ceiling thickness?  Some
building codes must 5/20 cm thick panels for fire
panels or ceilings. But, for many entrepreneurs,
this can be a regular practice.
Step 2 Apply Adhesive to Joists This can be
optional, but in case you chose to do so, use
glue on the joist surface. Run the beads from the
caulk container as far as direct working time
allows.

Step 4 Assessment of the panel in place Screws
are preferred over claws, but if driving the ring
shank nails, move them about 18 cm apart. With
glue, spread the claws 1/3 of the board or 41 cm.
Create the concave dimple using the entire
drywall hammer on the next swing. Make sure you
don't shatter the newspaper. For the screws,
drive the screws directly, spaced 30 cm in the
center without glue, and also at most 41 cm in
the center with glue. Place them within 3/20 cm
of the edge of this sheet. All misfires should be
reversed and prevent joist edging, if possible.

Step 5 Panels that wish to be cut Partly secure
any sheet with exterior items (which would be for
getting cuts) like electrical boxes and can light
up. Run the Electric Cutter by locating a
central part, then move around the perimeter.
Otherwise, saw manually using a handsaw. Finish
tightening the screws on this board and continue
to complete the path along the length of the
ceiling. Read here How to Use Drywall Anchors

Step 6 Hang panels haste Continue with the next
lesson by knocking the 1/2 sheet butt seams in
the very first lesson. Note Some older ceiling
joists were 24 inches in the center. 1 option is
to mount 5/20 cm or sag-resistant panels on wider
spans where weight is an issue.
