By "Schlagdübel" do you mean the plastic ones? They have a collar that you cannot flush with the lathing.

Good morning,

Yes, that's right, the plastic wall plugs. I've changed my mind about them. I will use normal plugs and screws. I am currently researching what else is available on the market. Metal plugs, Tox plastic plugs, etc.

However, I will definitely build the substructure out of slats, not with a metal suspension system.

Has anyone of you had experience with metal plugs?

Why? I've had very good experiences with them in my current apartment - two rooms and two hallways suspended with roof battens.
Hold the batten to the ceiling, drill through with a masonry bit, and hammer in the hammer anchor. Hardly any faster or easier. It's significantly more complicated with normal dowels and screws.

Correct, it is more complicated. Therefore, I wanted to simplify the process and use [Schlagdübel]. I changed my mind because I had read on a [Dübel Hersteller]’s website that [Schlagdübel] should not be subjected to tension, so they should not be used in ceilings either. I would either fasten the slats in the conventional way or possibly use metal anchors.

Have you looked at the "Verarbeitungsrichtlinie Trockenbau" from Rigips (page 172, freestanding ceiling systems)? There you can use frame anchors because the support profile is attached to the wall below the ceiling. Tap one in every 75 cm, lay profiles along the short hallway side as the supporting structure and fix them with a press connection, attach the panels, done. It really doesn't get any easier.

Yep, that is formally correct. But you just want to hang a ceiling, right?

Alternatively, you do it completely correctly, with proper anchors and screws and aluminum profiles. It is much more expensive and labor-intensive – but the result is identical. It wouldn't be worth the money for me.
