wai-lau...brother..lucky...you correct quickly...don't how many victims would curse you..

Sorry lar...That is reply by my wife...she wrongly got the information...

By default most of the second floor already have some kind on plaster board (not sure what it call like 2x4 type) installed by the developer.

My question is:
If we plan install Plaster Ceiling, should those plaster board to be removed off or just install at low level?
What is Pro / Con of it?

they take off the ceiling board and replace with plaster ceiling...otherwise it will be very low..

Serious? If water leaking than not more protection...rights?

If you have more than 10'f height ceiling..u can always place the new plaster below the existing board.. I did that, and strangely, I feel my rooms upstairs are little 'cooler' during hot days..maybe due to the extra insulation between the board and the new plaster...Nice!

was quoted rm1800 for a 800sqft. with normal design cornice(havent decide yet which design)
and i got to add rm1k more if i want to build the lamp inside<---sorry dunt know how to call it.

will update when its done.

your ceiling board is for water protection?? I never thought of it that way..

I am putting the water tank,pump,Joven heater on top of my roof slab so very little pipes goes over the ceiling...to prevent water leaks to the plaster ceiling.. of course I am rebuilding the house so I get to redesign everything my way- not the developer's

Not really, at least could take some hit before other...hopefully

Any body know how much to cost if I would only do the L Box for the all side of my living room (1100sqft condo) to put the lighting?

Hi, May i ask is this price quoted by the contractor include material or just the workmanship?

Thanks.

hi all, can someone tell me
what is the correct way to place T5 tube on the L-box for light through, so that it appear straight/parallel when lights on, and at the same time without black spot in between.

Reason, if tubes are to be overlapped, it eliminate dark spot between tubes, but lights appears zig-zag when turned on. On the other hand, to make it straight thus do away with the overlapping, there would be dark spot between tubes. Guess those who had done it will understand my prob.

Thx

last 4 years my plaster ceiling for whole house (double storey 2000sqft) only cost me rm4k including wiring...

my contractor didnt take out the original ceiling, they just pull out ermm what we call it arrr... "rangka?" ceiling (kayu in between every board).. so if there is a water leakage it will not directly effect my plaster ceiling (i hope )

I had mine done just recently. Did't had amy problem like you mention. Nowadays new t5 can connect few of together to make 1 long light. Will be no dark spot

your contractor is lowering your ceiling height at least 4 to 6 inch. Your light fitting do not have air ventilation. All heat is trap between the 2 ceiling void area.

hi bros, wanna ask.. how much is the average price for flat plaster ceiling and L-Box price? appreciate your feedback.

flat RM2.00-RM2.50 per sq ft

L-Box RM10-15 per ft
