Abstract
A ceiling runner is disclosed that includes a ceiling portion and a depending portion formed in a U-shaped cross section with a pair of upstanding leg elements interconnected with a web portion and on the opposite end of the leg portion, edge portions extending away from each other an amount equal to the width of a margin on each side of the runner. Another version of the runner has the edge portions tipped over so that they cap the upper end of the vertical wallboard panels and provide a finishing touch around the periphery of the room. A plurality of cut-out portions are formed in the web portion with 8' centers for use in 16' or 24' spacing of studs and to accommodate unevenly cut studs that extend upwardly through the cut-out portions.
