Studio ceiling Material .

hi ,
I built a block work  shed/Studio in 16 ft x 16 ft bout 8 ft high.

Would this be okay for the interior ceiling.

This has tongue and groove joints and can be stapled up neatly .

I could not find ceiling cladding at a good price , or in lengths of over 4 meters .And they look quite nice , and do not require painting etc.

Any good reasons for or against ?

I don't want to use plaster board to messy and time consuming.

I could use 6 mm ply but large boards are not easy getting up on the ceiling  I know I did the roof with 12mm WPB ply.

Thx chessguy

There was a post here a bit ago about bathroom PVC paneling, which the poster claimed was lethal with toxic fumes in a fire situation and highly flammable, you may have the same issue with this product internally. I used this soffit of an external canopy approx 2x2m and needed to put up ply wood first to keep it flat, its really only suitable for soffits at the eaves of the roof

Hi JimmyMW&#160

These are  actually made for ceilings  they are also PVC but cost much more

just found this

"Fire retarding properties
PVC is an inherently fire resistant plastic, the only exception among the general-purpose plastics, since it contains more than 50% of chlorine.

When PVC products are burned, hydrogen chloride gas resulting from thermal cracking slows down the continuous combustion reaction and prevents burning progress by warding off the PVC product surface from oxygen in the air. The gas is also detectable by its – highly unpleasant - odour at concentrations well below those that could be harmful to health. This feature allows early detection of a fire. Gaseous hydrochloric acid is, for example, much less hazardousthan carbon monoxide, which is narcotic and has no smell and can rapidly lead to paralysis and death.

Other advantages of PVC are that it releases less combustion heat than other plastics -
