I'm going to make a suspended ceiling in the 2nd half of my kitchen in line with the underside of the rsj, meeting the pitched roof where it then goes downwards.
View media item 20440 If i decide to carry on the suspended ceiling into the 1st half of my kitchen (pic below) also in line with underside of the rsj, then the ceiling will be in line and flush with the underside of concrete lintel/top of upvc window-

1. Just wondering if this ceiling height using plasterboard will look odd being flush with top of window 2.3m? OR should i make suspended ceiling ONLY in 2nd half of kitchen to underside of rsj THEN up rsj 1 foot THEN across following underside of the main joists in 1st half of kitchen? ie. ceiling on two levels instead of one ..Recessed spots will be throughout ceiling
2. What plugs are adequate for fixing through into Thermalite block especially as my main kitchen wall units will have to be fixed to this?
