PAY ATTENTION TO THIS IF YOUR CEILING STARTS CRACKING!

Seeing cracks start to appear on your ceiling can certainly be worrying, especially when the gypsum is still relatively new. However, don't immediately blame the gypsum board! Ceiling cracks can be caused by several factors, ranging from the framing and installation to the finishing process.

So, what should you pay attention to?"
 

1. Check the Condition of the Ceiling Frame

One component that should not be overlooked is the framing. Bali Ceiling Framing supports the gypsum boards, so proper installation is essential to keep the frame stable and suitable for the project requirements.

Hollow is one of the materials used in ceiling framing. Toko PJM provides Garuda Hollow 2×4×0.30 for construction and ceiling applications.

If the frame is not precise or is installed incorrectly, movement in the framing can affect the gypsum boards and their joints.
 

2. Pay Attention to Gypsum Board Installation

Gypsum boards also need to be installed using the proper method and fasteners. Gypsum screws are used to secure the boards to the frame.

Toko PJM provides gypsum options such as Jayaboard and Yoshino, as well as gypsum screws to support ceiling installation needs.

So, it's not only the type of gypsum that matters, but also the framing and supporting components.
 

3. Don't Ignore the Joints

Cracks often appear around the joints between boards. Therefore, the finishing process is an important part of ceiling installation.

Using Cornice Compound and joint tape with the proper application technique can help create cleaner and more durable joints. Make sure every finishing step is completed correctly before the ceiling is painted.
 

4. The Right Materials Start with the Frame

Choosing ceiling materials should not be based solely on the final appearance. The structure behind the ceiling also needs proper attention.

For Bali Lightweight Steel and Bali Ceiling Framing needs, Toko PJM provides various supporting materials, including Hollow, gypsum, screws, and Cornice. Toko PJM also supplies materials for ceiling, partition, and roofing applications.
 

Don't Blame the Gypsum Right Away!

A cracked ceiling does not necessarily mean the gypsum board is defective. Check the framing, installation, joints, and finishing process as a whole.
