Hello! Today we will consider the installation of the re -ceiling with our own hands. This type of suspended ceilings is perfect for those rooms that have high requirements for hygiene and have increased humidity. Do not think that such ceilings are suitable, only to the rooms that need those conditions that have been said before, this is not so, the rack ceiling will look in any room, because this design is distinguished by its certain elegance.
In addition to the fact that such ceilings will fit into the interior of any room, hanging rack ceilings are not afraid of sunlight, resistant to the negative effects of moisture, are not exposed to fungi, easily washed, do not deteriorate from damp. But not everything is so smooth, sometimes finding a rack ceiling on sale is not so easy, but whoever is looking for will always find. Plus to make all your own hands to make a rack ceiling is not too difficult.
In addition to the rack, there are other types of suspended ceilings, for example, I recently wrote an article: with your own hands, suspended ceiling from drywall, you may be interested in such a ceiling.
So, first of all, you need to visit the store in search of a rack ceiling, having previously carefully made measurements of the room, very carefully.
When you come to the store, first ask if there is a ready -made set, if this is available and it is suitable for your measurements, then such a kit will greatly facilitate the process of your work.
The tools that will be needed when installing the river ceiling:
– Pencil;
– drill, punch;
– scissors for metal;
– screwdriver;
– Chancellery knife;
– dowel-gvo, and self-tapping screws.
It’s time to move on to the installation of the ceiling, so the work will begin with markings.
Marking
This stage of work requires significant accuracy and accuracy, because the state of the further design depends on it. This is understood, now we need to find out: how much the ceiling will fall, and whether the lamps will be mounted.
If there are no communications over your rheck ceiling, plus that the rack ceiling will be in the future without lamps, then you can raise the decorative ceiling as much as possible, leaving the gap, about 5 cm. If lamps are supposed or there are communications, then between the decorative and the real ceiling you need to leave much more space.
After they found out how much the ceiling will be lowered, we draw a flat, even line around the entire perimeter. This line will be the border of the future ceiling. It is probably clear that this stage is very important, then the end profiles will need to be fixed on this lines, but if the marking is wrong, then the profiles will be fixed incorrectly.
Installation of profiles and supporting tires
First of all, you need to fix the profiles, here you will be helped by self -tapping screws and dowels. After the profiles have been installed – first the markings are made for places, and then the supporting tire is installed. If the bought tire turned out to be longer than the intended size, then with the help of scissors for metal, shorten it.
After the tires of the desired size have made, it is necessary to try on the profiles, and then slots are made in the profiles, but they are made so that then you can easily fix the tires.
Important: tires need to be mounted on a distance from the wall, by about 30 cm. If you neglect this, then installing the panels will become much more complicated.
Finale – cut out and mount the panels
Before installing the rack ceiling, it is necessary to cut the panels of the required length. For this, we will first measure the required length: the distance from the edge of one wall to the end profile, which is located on the opposite wall.
After several panels have been cut off, we proceed to the installation. To install the panels, you need to carefully insert the panel into the groove of the end profile, while you must hear a click indicating that the edges of the rails are well recorded. Then another panel is taken and fixed using the same technology.
In theory, the last panel should not be placed, but if it is well suited, then you are lucky, well, and since the last panel is most often longer than the necessary sizes, it needs to be cut off, but for convenience the not last, and the penultimate panel is cut.
We make holes for lamps
Most rack ceilings imply lamps, because there will be no, for example, rack shelves in the bathroom without light. In order to install lamps, you need to make a hole for it. To do this, take the lamp applied to the panel and circle it, and then cut out.
When you cut a hole, it is best to use small scissors. It is better to cut it from the center, gradually increasing the opening opening.
Well, by laying the last panel, thereby we finished the installation of the re -ceiling with our own hands. Pay special attention to the first step when you need to take measurements for future profiles, and then it will be much easier.
Success and successful repairs !
