Drywall Installation: How to Hang Drywall on Ceilings
                     
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 
Step 2: Apply the sheet of drywall in place with the help of another 
person, a T Brace or a freight elevator.
Adhesive to Joists
Either one T Brace could be propped up or 2 T Braces 
This can be optional, but in case you could be propped up with each other to secure the

working time allows.
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 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.

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.
