So, you enter into a new apartment. With what problems you will encounter during its arrangement? Several paraphrase a classic one can say that the apartment has two misfortunes: neighbors and ceilings. Why are the neighbors? Firstly, because the extremely low level of sound insulation of the overwhelming majority of our apartments, it was the neighbors are truly inexhaustible source of all kinds of noise. And secondly, the neighbors are always on top of the potential threat of leaks and flooding. And the ceilings. ... One glance at the most ceilings in domestic homes is enough to assume that the builders were guided by the principle of the famous song: "I am blinded him from what happened." Weight seams and irregularities, significant differences in elevation between the ceiling tiles, "littered" angles - this is not a complete list of what you can detect even a cursory look at your ceiling. How can make the ceiling for a truly beautiful and modern look? In our publications, we try to give you the answer to these questions. Traditional and proven way for years, is leveling the ceiling, followed by applying water-based paints. To do this, using a laser level exposed metal beacons, and caused a continuous layer of plaster. Then glued ceiling material (usually serpyanku). This is done to strengthen the plaster and will avoid further cracks and irregularities. After drying, the ceiling shpaklyuetsya and it is applied latex paint. It is this method of decoration is still almost the only possible in small apartments, with a ceiling height of not more than 2.5 m. However, this method of finishing the ceiling is very labor intensive and prolonged in time, and besides, he practically does not improve the sound insulation properties of your room . In addition, when stained ceiling latex paint, the apartment is still as defenseless against the threat of flooding from above, that at any moment may negate all the results of your repair. It must be remembered that the traditional method of finishing is not possible to install recessed fixtures (in the concrete floor slab of the installation is simply impossible), which significantly reduces the number of lighting options. Taking into account the fact that for a device hidden wiring for this option must furnish a costly and time-consuming shtroblenie ceiling, we can conclude that the traditional method is outdated and has many disadvantages. Adhesive ceiling a few years ago, more and more popular in our country won glued ceilings, made of square or rectangular panels on the basis of polystyrene. On the market glutinous ceilings, have a variety of colors and textures. They are very easily and quickly installed than help hide irregularities and other shortcomings of your ceiling. Adhesive coating have good soundproofing properties. In addition, the ceiling panels are easily cut, which makes it possible to implement without too much trouble finishing the ceiling to be placed virtually any layout. However, an important drawback of such ceilings is the large number of joints and seams between the panels. Because of this, cover the ceiling does not look a whole surface. Also glue ceilings do not allow the installation of built-in fixtures. All these drawbacks have led to that recently glued ceilings are all less common. Finish gluing method is to cover the mounting directly to base ground with a special adhesive. Among the materials for this method applied tiles or panels made of polystyrene. Such panels differ little weight (up to 0,4 kg / m?), it is easy to cut, which allows their use in areas with angles of irregular shape. Polystyrene has enough sound insulation and thermal insulation properties. The disadvantages of this material is the fact that the glued end to end, the panel does not visually form a coherent coating. Partly for this reason the recent popularity of this type of decoration began to decline. Forgotten way to papering the ceiling wallpaper with the advent of glass fiber back to life. Steklooboi not afraid of humidity in the room. Long - 20 years - the life and the opportunity to paint up to 10-15 times conclusion of this stuff to the new competitive position. Among the advantages of fashion as well - ease and speed of execution, the ability to hide cracks and other defects in the base ceiling. The thickness of the coating is not usually exceed 10 mm, this quality makes it applicable in areas with a low ceiling - 2,5-2,6 m. Unfortunately, the adhesive mounting method allows you to hide the material only minor deviations in the horizontal. It limits the coverage, excluding the use of embedded light fixtures and not "mask" any technical devices, including electrical wiring. Cost of this type of finish depends on the chosen material. For example, the tiles of the foreign producers are from 175 rubles per sq. m., domestic polystyrene panels especially uncoated will cost significantly less. The average cost of glass fiber - 15 rubles. per sq.m. Drywall interesting and modern solution is the construction of the ceiling plasterboard lining, and installation of suspended plasterboard ceilings. With this method, plasterboard attached to the metal frame that allows you to quickly and effortlessly to make your ceiling is perfectly flat surface. After appropriate preparation of such a ceiling can be painted virtually any color (including textured paints), which creates enormous scope for design decisions. Sheets of drywall respond well to cutting, which allows them to use the premises of almost any configuration. Suspended ceilings made of plasterboard have some beautiful properties. They are fire-resistant, environmentally friendly, have excellent insulating qualities. In addition, the construction of suspended ceilings allows the routing of electrical wires without shtrobleniya (wires are placed between the base and ceilings), which greatly simplifies and reduces the cost of the work. Room lighting with suspended gypsum ceilings can be very diverse. This chandelier and recessed fixtures, and even spotlights (which may, for example, to create in your room effect the sky). Suspended plasterboard ceilings may also be a two-level, and even layered. In this light can be placed in the interlevel space that allows you to create the room a soft, non-irritating eye background lighting. This is especially good for bedrooms. However, when the suspended ceiling with recessed light fixtures, be aware that such a ceiling makes the room below at 12-20 cm (the height of the lamp). Of course, reduces the height of the room and at the device multilevel ceilings. Therefore, such coatings do not recommend living in low (height less than 3 meters). Agree, would be uncomfortable if your distinguished guest (in the literal sense of the word) will walk around the room for a low head bowed. " These ceilings are ideal for high rooms or for rooms where people are not too long (hall, hallway). The only drawback of conventional nevlagostoykih gypsum ceiling - they are afraid of water and high humidity. Therefore, it is desirable not to use them in bathrooms and kitchens. For these areas there are special water-resistant gypsum board ceiling, which possess all the properties of the ordinary, but it is well tolerated humidity. However, if the neighbors have a firm habit of constantly flood you, from the gypsum ceiling is better to refuse. For such premises are well suited rack and modular false ceilings made of aluminum or plastic panels. They have all the benefits of suspended ceilings, allow the installation of built-in lighting fixtures, and besides it has excellent water resistance. The disadvantage of these materials is that they are going out of individual modules. In this case, see the joints and the ceiling does not impress a single monolith. Moreover, such ceilings in rooms of irregular shape. Rack and modular ceilings "love" right angles. Truly a breakthrough in the market ceiling coverings is the emergence of a few years ago, suspended ceilings. Stretch ceilings Stretch ceiling has several advantages over other options. Firstly, it is speed of installation. Simple rectangular set ceilings for several hours, more complex designs - for 2-3 days. Secondly, it will protect your apartment from leaks. Stretch ceilings are different from other systems is not only a way of fixing, but the materials used. If the basis of previous finishes were a variety of boards and panels, the main role of the construction given to a cloth made of polyester fabric or vinyl. Installation takes place using a special frame - a baguette, located along the perimeter of the room. Self-fixing may be carried out in various ways. For vinyl or PVC film is more often used variant of the use of "spear" - a special bracket that is welded around the perimeter of the canvas. Properties of PVC material dictate another feature installation - need warm indoor air to a temperature 60-70C. But even this additional step does not prevent stretch ceiling to hold the leading position on the purity and speed of installation. Because of the produce can be even after the repair - without moving the furniture in the room. Use of vinyl film extends not only to choose the texture finish, but also the ability to easily organize such an unusual models, such as arched, angular, futuristic - the multifaceted, multilevel. Color and style are not limited to an imitation of the material, the technology allows application by printing any conceived pattern. This wide range of decor complements the use of different types of fixtures, including crystal light diffusers, and fiber optic lighting design. Important quality of this type of ceiling coverings - their anti-static, which prevents the sedimentation of dust, making it easier to care. In addition, suspended ceilings hide irregularities as a base ceiling, and electrical, ventilation and other equipment. The fastening system takes only 5 cm tall building. A separate provision suspended ceilings occupied by saving as a deterrent moisture during the flooding in the upper room. Stretching under the weight of water, not letting her PVC film to protect not only the room, but the property with possible flooding. In comparison, for example, plasterboard, requiring, as stated, material costs after some time, suspended ceilings have zero cost of ownership for the entire period of operation. Thus, identifying at an early stage of a possible final coating thickness, the need for special quality of finish, will examine all the variety of materials to achieve the desired configuration, texture and stylistic ceiling. Differences in the mode of attachment of ceiling systems and types of finishing materials can not only hide the flaws of the base ceiling, but also create their own ceiling in accordance with the originally designated functional characteristics. A price factor only to determine the height of the flight of fancy decorator. Methods of installation is this: around the perimeter of the premises on the wall at a height of future ceiling mounted prints. With the help of special clamps suspended from the ceiling of film prints. After fixing the baguette canvas unfolds, and the room is heated to 50-60 C. termopushkoy warmed up, stretched ceiling fabric becomes pliable, and slightly increased in size. Stretch ceiling is made with special tools is stretching the canvas. After lowering the temperature to normal levels canvas itself is stretched, forming a flat plane is ready to stretch ceiling. Multilevel ceilings Multilevel ceilings can create a beautiful and unusual design that emphasizes the features of each room. But this is not their only purpose. The reason for the use of multiple levels may be irregularities and defects of the base ceiling. Sometimes the differences are so great that other ways to hide them is impossible. For example, a very bad state is the old ceiling between floors. After removing the old partitions found inappropriate beams and girders. Sometimes within the apartment to hide air conditioning systems, wiring, ducts, freonoprovodov, water pipes, heating. Multilevel ceiling can be a "cover" to cover up the technological elements that should be accessible for periodic maintenance. Multilevel ceiling successfully solves the problem of reforming the amount of space. When repairing homes often need at least visually "lift" the ceiling. Designers are well known trick: in the modern interior feel larger space created by the lowering of the ceilings in some rooms. So, if the level in the hallway ceiling was lowered, and the dining room to keep the base, the dining area visually expand. In this basic level of the ceiling, an additional design techniques (lighting, color, texture), which further reinforce the above-described effect. Another function of the multilevel ceilings - Zoning dwelling. Dwellings new type furnished in the form of open flowing spaces that make up a single plastic structure, which for the convenience of living requires proper organization. In the modern system of zoning are two basic parts of a house or apartment: public and private zones. They can combine the miniband - places to eat, rest and work. In the room where there is practically no walls, functional areas are emphasized finish floor, walls and lighting. And, of course, additional levels of the ceiling. For example, raising his head, we can see the oval, echoing the oval dining table in the dining area. Or a selection as any other bath, bed, winter garden, bar, even the "road" from one zone to another. Typically, the organization of different levels of ceilings consistent floor finish (the presence of podiums in certain places, the use of different color and texture of materials for floor coverings). Even in low places (with a ceiling 2,5 m), we can competently organize multilevel ceilings, which will add volume and elegance of an apartment or house. Modern materials of construction for multi-level ceilings, virtually no limits imagination of the designer and allow you to create the interiors of different styles (classical, modern, etc.). Form ceiling structure are very different: a classical geometry, bent, fantastic shapes, a combination of curved line and triangle swings levels relative to the base - three, four, five. It could be stucco, curtain systems, the abstract composition. Interiors in the Art Nouveau style of the modern decorated with painted ceilings, recessed deep in the form of an oval or contoured molding. In the interiors in a contemporary style, high-tech multi-level ceiling can simulate, for example, the dome of the sky with soaring in the middle of a large and transparent oval bright stars, light bulbs. This design gives the interior ceiling of mystique and a certain mystique. English style involves wood paneling ceiling geometrically complex shapes. Here, the color of the oak panel walls in harmony with the noble colors of wood ceiling. In the ceiling to create a "window", "glazed" part of it as a sash with scattered light, creating the illusion of solar light. Such a ceiling, regardless of reality, it will seem very high. Multilevel ceiling greatly enhances lighting design space, and usually involves the placement of lamps at different levels, which gives dynamism to the interior. Materials and manufacturing technology of multi-level ceilings used multilevel ceilings were often part of public space than private housing. Public and made them popular on the market suspended ceilings and drywall. These "soft" technologies are relatively cheap and have virtually no restrictions on the configurations. Multilevel ceilings often are made from sheets of drywall, mounted on specially created for each design ceiling metal poles. Support beams attached to concrete ceiling of the apartment. Drywall is a sheet finishing material with a core of gypsum plaster reinforced with fiberglass. On both sides of the core pasted durable cardboard. Of the total mass of plasterboard (gypsum) 93% is gypsum, 6% - on the cardboard layer, and 1% - on the carcass. Drywall as a material for finishing, has the following advantages: Environmentally friendly, good sound absorption, fire resistance (all GCR GOST relate to flammable materials), ductility (sheets can be bent, wetting them, and then after drying with warm air to use for finishing curved surfaces, minimum bending radius when wet, usually 1000 mm), the ability to regulate the humidity in the room, moisture (special types of GCR) strength (reinforced gypsum plaster high-density fiberglass reinforcement and laminated cardboard), resistance to cracking (plasterboard ceilings can be used in seismic areas without restriction, and in buildings with seismicity of 7, 8 and 9 points without additional measures). The main elements of boarding ceiling of plasterboard are: plasterboard, metal frame of holodnoformovannyh bent shapes. Podshivnoy ceiling plasterboard is used primarily in areas with irregularities in the plane of the overlap is not greater than 20 mm. Prefabricated plasterboard ceiling can be installed in residential, public and industrial buildings of all degrees of fire resistance of various storeys and construction schemes being built in all parts of the country in areas with relative humidity up to 70% and a temperature of not lower than +10 C in the absence of an aggressive environment. The second technological method of creating multi-level ceilings - suspended ceilings, is a thin film or fabric of various colors and textures, stretched on a special frame (fillet) which is fixed on the ceiling or on the perimeter walls. Stretch ceilings can be installed in the premises of any configuration, at any tilt, or even in different planes, making sharp or smooth transitions from one plane to another, creating arches, vaults, and tents. Interesting decorative effect is obtained by using a multi-level ceilings stretch fabrics in different colors and textures. Caring for a suspended ceiling One of the attractive qualities of suspended ceilings is that care for them very easily. You just need to keep them clean and prevent waterlogging. There are two ways to clean ceilings - dry and wet. As for dry cleaning, the ceilings can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. Minor contamination removed the usual eraser. Wet cleaning is carried out with a sponge soaked in water to dilute it with detergent. If the suspension modules are made from mineral fibers, the sponge should be barely moist. Fat can be cleaned with any household cleaners other than abrasive. Abrasives can not be used because they can damage the surface. Tape and suspended ceilings can be completely washed under running water, but you need to choose a head of the jet, which is not izognet plane of the panel. After the contamination removed, it is necessary to polish the surface with a soft cloth or sponge. Some manage to wash the cassette in the dishwasher. Since cassettes Geipel can do these experiments, since they can withstand high temperatures, above them it does not bend. If the metal ceiling flooded neighbors above, you simply remove the modules (cassettes or rail), to pour out of them collect water and wipe the stains formed on the surface of the ceiling. Neither the panel nor the tapes, neither the suspension system is not affected. In that case, if the tiles made of mineral fiber or gypsum formed small chips, scratches or dents, they can mask the different fillings with a roller, brush or spray. In some types of facilities, such as hospitals, to finishing materials are increased hygiene requirements. Best in such places to establish a cassette ceiling with concealed suspension system. The design of this ceiling does not allow dust and dirt to penetrate it, as the cassette tightly aligned with each other. In addition to advice on cleaning suspension systems, there are several important requirements for their transport and storage before installation. Panels, tapes and T-profiles covered with a protective plastic film. It protects polished or painted surfaces from damage. Nevertheless, during the transportation ceiling tiles can not throw, put on the angular surface or handle with care. This may lead to deformation of the material. Keep ceiling modules before installation is necessary in dry, protected from moisture indoors on smooth surfaces. And one more caveat associated with those situations when the room is not maintained in winter for a long time. In this case, it is rather cold in the ceiling space begins to form a condensate. To avoid damage to the outboard panels at this time, they are better off. In conclusion, we note once more that the exploitation of ceilings do not have any complications, uncomplicated if you follow the recommendations outlined above. Suspension system will be a long happy owner of a beautiful appearance, we should not just forget from time to time to clear it from accumulating dust.

After the contamination removed, it is necessary to polish the surface with a soft cloth or sponge. Some manage to wash the cassette in the dishwasher. Since cassettes Geipel can do these experiments, since they can withstand high temperatures, above them it does not bend. If the metal ceiling flooded neighbors above, you simply remove the modules (cassettes or rail), to pour out of them collect water and wipe the stains formed on the surface of the ceiling. Neither the panel nor the tapes, neither the suspension system is not affected. In that case, if the tiles made of mineral fiber or gypsum formed small chips, scratches or dents, they can mask the different fillings with a roller, brush or spray. In some types of facilities, such as hospitals, to finishing materials are increased hygiene requirements. Best in such places to establish a cassette ceiling with concealed suspension system. The design of this ceiling does not allow dust and dirt to penetrate it, as the cassette tightly aligned with each other. In addition to advice on cleaning suspension systems, there are several important requirements for their transport and storage before installation. Panels, tapes and T-profiles covered with a protective plastic film. It protects polished or painted surfaces from damage. Nevertheless, during the transportation ceiling tiles can not throw, put on the angular surface or handle with care. This may lead to deformation of the material. Keep ceiling modules before installation is necessary in dry, protected from moisture indoors on smooth surfaces. And one more caveat associated with those situations when the room is not maintained in winter for a long time. In this case, it is rather cold in the ceiling space begins to form a condensate. To avoid damage to the outboard panels at this time, they are better off. In conclusion, we note once more that the exploitation of ceilings do not have any complications, uncomplicated if you follow the recommendations outlined above. Suspension system will be a long happy owner of a beautiful appearance, we should not just forget from time to time to clear it from accumulating dust.
