Fixing metal track to angled ceiling?

[liam546]

I am going to be lining my bathroom walls with a 25mm metal wall lining system. The system has a track at the bottom that is fixed to the floor and a track at the top that fixes to the ceiling. The metal studs then fit between the tracks at 600 centers.

The problem I have is that my ceiling where the track needs to be fitted is at a 45 degree angle (see pic) where I need it to be flat so the track is line with the track on the floor.

I therefore need to run or fix some kind of wood into the ceiling joists to make a flat surface but I'm not really sure what best way of doing this is or how to get the correct angle.

Any advice would be great

Just needs an angled fillet of timber fixed to the ceiling then fix the frame to that. If it is a perfect 45 degree angle then something like arris rail would do, cut down to suit the width of the framework.

You will need to take a fairly accurate measurement of the angle. If you don't have an angle finder tool then draw a plumb line vertically down from a point on the angled ceiling. Then take a piece of paper or card, A4 size or similar. Line one edge of the paper with the plumb line, touching the ceiling and fold the sheet to match the slope. Crease the paper to form a triangle so it fits exactly then you can measure the angle using a normal protractor - every home should have one!

I have the same issue except my sloping ceiling is 40 degree angle.

What method is best to shave down a 45 degree fillet/arris to the required 40?
