Simple question.
I have a Genie Clip suspended ceiling. It's been acoustic sealed at the sides and seems to be working fine. I want to skim plaster it but do I need to leave a gap around the edge where the acoustic sealent is? It seems logical in my head to do so but it means masking the entire ceiling. If I didn't leave a gap, doesn't it bridge this layer of skim plaster to the wall creating a way for the sound to travel and bypass my suspended ceiling? Can't find anything online other than references to skimming a resilient bar ceiling.
The ceiling goes from wall edge to wall edge. I have to stud wall 2 of the walls which I've sttached to the wall below the ceiling and then where it braces against the ceiling I've left about 1/2cm gap and used acoustic ceilant to "glue" the baton to the ceiling. I'm assuming this will still allow the ceiling to flex and doesn't bridge anything?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
