What happens here

Once a panel is correctly positioned against the wooden trusses, workers proceed to fasten it securely. While specific fastening tools are not clearly visible, the process typically involves power drills or impact drivers to drive self-tapping screws or other appropriate fasteners through the metal panels into the wooden structure. This step is repeated for each panel, working systematically across the ceiling area. Overlapping edges of the corrugated panels help create a continuous, sealed surface.

Goal: Fasten the positioned ceiling panels permanently to the overhead structure.

Tools and materials
