Here is a step-by-step guide to install a metal frame ceiling for plasterboard:

1.  Prepare the materials: You will need MF7 Primary Channels, MF5 Furring Channels, MF6A Edge Trims, MF17 Hanger Angles, screws, drill, spirit level/laser level, tin snips, and plasterboards.
2. Measure the ceiling: Measure the length and width of the ceiling and calculate the number of metal components required.
3. Cut the metal tracks: Cut the metal tracks to the required length and label them according to their position in the room.
4. Install the MF17 Hanger Angles: Fix the MF17 angles to the ceiling joists using angle brackets, screws and MF11 Nuts & Bolts. Ensure that the angles are level and are the correct length to fix your primary channel to.
5. Install the MF7 Primary Channels: Fix the channels to the hanger angles using wafer head screws. The furring channels are then connected to the primary channel using MF9 Furring Clips, to provide a surface to fix the plasterboard to.
6. Cut the plasterboard: Cut the plasterboard to the required size and label them according to their position in the room.
7. Install the plasterboard: Fix the plasterboard to the furring channels using suitable length screws. The plasterboard should be slightly recessed from the metal tracks.
8. Finish the joints: Fill the joints between the plasterboard sheets with joint filler and sand them smooth.
9. Paint or wallpaper: Once the joints have been finished, you can paint or wallpaper the ceiling as desired.
