Has Anyone Used Metal Studs For A Ceiling?
We are redoing our Living room. Goodbye hunting cabin knotty t&g pine and ghetto hung ceiling , hello drywall., Well except for two walls which are being smoothed and painted. (We bought the house that way).
I demo'd the joint on the long 3 day Memorial weekend and filled the knots & cracks with wood filler, and primed what I could. I'll have the boys sand that when they sand the Sheetrock. No sense in dusting the place twice. Anyway, Lyle is framing the ceiling with metal studs. Has anyone ever seen that before? |

Why ?
I put a 6' level on it in numerous places and it is ballz on perfect. I know a rougher who is one of the best in the area who told me that 1/8 inch off on any one joist is ok.. That really surprised me. He stick builds though. |

Very common in new construction here in NY/NJ. My place was built 12 years ago and all of the ceilings are metal stud in over 400 townhouses in my development.

I was just testing people to see if they knew what the he!! they were talking about. I have a good friend who does it for a living and it is very common for non load bearing spans. This ceiling is 22' x 17.5' with cinder block exterior walls, so this is a perfect candidate for metal. The joists are true 2x12's and that is what they are being tied into. That new light weight Sheetrock is sooo nice compared to the old heavy stuff. |

My wife always has to change something, and seeing that we were doing the ceiling, we just decided to do it all at once. It will improve resale prospects as well, as many people do not hold our opinion. Not that we're selling any time soon, but you never know. |

Since they are a c shape, I'd be concerned with deflection

That ceiling system is probably lighter and faster to go in than wood, and just as strong. Good choice. Was it cheaper?
I too like the wood....but I would have stained it all in a sea bleached light grey/blue to lighten it up. Love that sea shanty look. |

Metal is actually a bit more expensive than wood.

I (now retired 45 year construction worker) have seen metal studs for Commercial building interior WALLS for decades, never saw it used the way you did.--

What does the manufacturer say? Is it an approved application by them? In other words, if it fails, will they warranty it?
