CEILINGS

Bradering: is nailed to underside of the tie beam using 75 mm wire nails and is spaced @ 400 c/c along the length
of the board. Sheeta are then nailed on to brandering 38 x38 & 38 x 50 branderings are used for trusses
spaced 1.00 m max above 1 000m respectively

75mm wire nails : For nailing brandering brandering to underside of tie beam. Calculated as follows:
(Total metres divided truss spacing + 1) divided by **** = no of kgs requied.
40 mm Clout nails : Used to nail sheets to brandering are spaced @ 150 mm c/c. Cement coated nails are
recommended for a /c tapboard. Calculated as follows :-
