Alignment and ceiling coverings

Alignment ceilings in multi-storey buildings made of reinforced concrete floor slabs. Therefore, the repair of the ceiling often reduced to slabs Filling, sealing cracks and crevices between the slabs and the whitewashing, painting or pasting wallpaper. Clean off the old paint the ceiling with a spatula. If whitewash poorly to removal can dampen its weak solution of 3% acetic acid (take care of your eyes and hands). For glossing over of cracks, potholes and other irregularities of the ceiling, you can use gipsomelovoy filler. Before podmazyvaniem crack cleanse with a knife or spatula and be able to these places with water. Putty inflict a wide spatula evenly, and after drying otshlifuem sandpaper. To crack over time, did not appear again, but you already know where they are often exude, in these places along the seam, apply a layer of white paint on it and paste bandage width of the palm. After drying seam zashpatlyuem and clean. Facing the ceiling with large differences in floor slabs, and this still happens, there are two ways to align the ceiling. 1-y way: to align with the plaster. However, be aware that the concrete is still ottorgnet solution and eventually plaster will fall off. Second way: facing the ceiling sheet materials. You can use sheets of drywall, plasterboard, or now sell so many varieties of ceiling tiles. Take your pick. If the board does not drop more than 5 cm, then you can stretch ceiling. If the ceiling tile, you can simply stick to prepared for the ceiling, the sheets of drywall and drywall must be attached to the rack frame. However, for sticking tiles without the need to take a plastic skeleton tile with edges on the edges so that you can cut out the notches on the edges of a protruding part of the reinforced concrete slab and thus align the tiles with other tiles. Facing the ceilings of decorative plastic sheets on a slatted bed frame a separate conversation. There is much more difficult. However, the result is much better. Wooden slats nailed to the concrete surface of the boards better at corners or metal clamps. Corners or collars have a gun to shoot the building. The ceilings of decorative plastic sheets (vinyl plastic, rigid PVC, polidekora etc.) operates on small frame of wooden sticks cross 25h50 mm. Connect the blocks together in a groove or thin-walled metal rails, attached directly to the overlap or on metal hangers (see fig.). We consider the case facing the ceiling decorative tiles on a light wooden frame. This option is useful if in a flat low ceilings. The order of execution of works on facing the ceiling tiles on the frame: 1. Printed marking the axes, fixing serial arrangement of tiles, from the central axis ceiling. On the axis of the ceiling is usually near ceiling lamp, so the seam connecting the tiles to better fulfill the midline ceiling. 2. Installation frame perform in marking the lines from the central axis of the ceiling. Attach regular rows with reconciling their level and in compliance with the size of the markup longitudinal axes, wooden sticks (25h50 mm) frame to the ceiling with clamps. 3. Perform the sighting gun building steel clamps for fixing battens to the ceiling. Option yoke of steel or aluminum band width of 50 mm, see below. If the proposed option does not suit, you can buy ready-made corners in building materials store. Our version is offered for those who have no such choice. 4. Strengthen cross rails on longitudinal rails to mount their nails on the markings previously applied to the ceiling. If the decorative tile is made of a thin sheet, the transverse slats can not install. And fixing the tiles run directly to the longitudinal racks. 5. Before attaching the finishing tiles can sort by color and size. Position of the axes ready to crate attaches one tension nylon strings. 6. Install plastic tiles start from the central axis of the ceiling. Plate if necessary, add on, set the "seam to seam, and fastened to the frame with screws with round head, or a decorative veneer. 7. If the plane of the ceiling placed integer plates, using the "Additionally gathered" tiles, arranged symmetrically. 8. In places of contiguity tiles to the walls of the corners hide behind decorative moldings or wood veneer. In the joints between tiles joints shpaklyuyutsya. However prirezkoy best to achieve tight coupling plates. 9. A useful tip: easy to cut a thin tile saw blades for metal. Boards for the possibility of attaching to the frame is usually produced with folded edges on the perimeter or convex in the form of a tooth - two or three on each side. Provide an opportunity to catch the edge of one tile for another, that does not allow them to sag. For such a tile does not require the installation of wooden or plastic decorative overhead rails along the seams of sheets of plastic. They are installed in cases where these types of joints are consistent with the overall architectural design of the room.
