Ceiling and wall panels are a wonderfully practical solution for interior design – and not only because they are easy to install. Everything that might interfere with the overall aesthetic concept can also be stored behind them, from pipes and cables to light elements like LED spotlights.

Cladding always requires a substructure of planed battens, which are fastened to the ceiling. Like all constructions made of wood or wood-based products. Unlike on walls, drill points should be a maximum of 50 cm apart in order to ensure that the cladding load can be reliably absorbed. The battens themselves should not be less than this distance apart, except for crosswise counter battens. Individual profiles and panels can then be fastened to the battens with SPAX screws. Whether or not they are visible is up to you. 

What do I need to know?

Because wood profiles or panels are rarely thicker than 20 mm, screws must not split the material. With visible fastening, it is important to ensure the precise positioning of the screw tip. Only this way can it be inserted without damaging the sensitive coating. Of course, the screws also need to be a good aesthetic match for the project and overall interior design concept – both in terms of shape and colour.
