The sequence of finishing works

Installation of the ceiling should be performed during the finishing works - before they will be created Finishing flooring. Thus it is necessary to comply with dry or normal humidity conditions in the room. Ambient temperature during the installation work must not be below + 10 ° C.

So, if the decision to establish such a finishing your decision is already taken, you can go directly to the cause.

How would you have liked to win the "winner laurels" on their own, hard-working assistant in such a construction will never be superfluous.

There are lots of tools for the installation of the GCR alone, but they all have a drawback: the time and great effort imposed on the neck line of the spine and head. It will be correct for the installation of whole leaves invite man. The main thing - fit flush sheets tightly, and then (without assistant) can tighten the screws properly. Cut pieces of GKL it is possible to mount and myself.

By the way, as many practitioners master supporting structure for fixing plasterboard sheets to quickly build your own. It may be a P or T-shaped wooden supports (however, for these purposes invented many different structures in its design). But this method is considered to be quite time consuming and resort to it only advisable when there is no other choice.

Regardless of the number of levels in the future of the ceiling, the process of its creation can be divided into several stages:

• project development;
• creating marking;
• frame arrangement;
• electrical wiring and stacking of insulation;
• installation of drywall onto the prepared skeleton;
• Painting works.

To begin, we describe the self-construction of the simplest plasterboard ceiling.

Creating a single-level ceiling

Construction of single-level ceiling is not intended to project development with the "sophisticated" and unique design. The only thing that is necessary in this case to take into account - is the location of lighting fixtures. Often brand ceiling lamps equipped with point-type. And it is very important that in the process of mounting arrangement of fixtures does not coincide with the location of bearing metal profiles. For the rest, you can trust your own imagination or alternatively -poiskat on the Internet standard lighting layouts.

If the light fixture you intend to use the chandelier, is creating a framework for the future of the ceiling, in place of its location you need to install one or two additional profile (depending on the characteristics of the mounting lamp).

If the chandelier is supposed to be fixed on a simple hook, then it will be enough and one profile. To console the mounts requires two profile strips (usually the transverse webs cut from the carrier profile). All this will help subsequently to avoid a number of difficulties (for example, the use of anchors).

Profile location should be planned in such a way as to maximize the use of plasterboard sheets without resorting once again to reveal them.

In the case of using spotlights between the carrier profile and the ceiling must leave adequate space, conducive to efficient heat transfer and provide fire security.

T. a. for halogen lamps required space is not less than 15 cm (for heat), then with the stock, I stepped back from the hardwood floors to the 20 cm.

Creating a framework, as a rule, begins with the installation of wall profile UD (PPN) on the walls of the room. Its location must strictly conform to the horizontal level, and should start its installation from the lowest corner of the room. The guiding profile is mounted around the perimeter of the room. It will then be inserted into the carrier profile strips. Trim profile (also called guides) are usually mounted on dowels (if the material wall surface does not suggest other ways of fastening, for example by means of screws). The distance between the anchors must be equal to 40... 50 cm.

In the next step you can proceed to markup the ceiling, that is, to determine the future location of the carrier profile (straight hangers). Given the fact that the GCR is always stacked along the flat bearing profile is also installed properly.

The edges of two adjacent drywall sheets must always fall on the middle bearing ceiling profile CD (PP). The side bearing profiles should be set at a distance of not more than 150 mm from the wall. From all this it should be based, carrying the ceiling layout. Partitioning is a straight line, clearly marked on the ceiling.

Please note that the guide did not trim profile is designed for attaching drywall (such an approach always leads to the formation of cracks).

Prepared using markup, you can install on the ceiling hangers. The distance between the hangers must be 70... 100 cm (in accordance with the drywall mounting technology). Installation of hangers through a smaller distance - it's a waste of time and money.

If the length of the conventional U-shaped hangers insufficient (because of the large gap between the ceiling and the metal profile), it is always possible to resort to the use of hangers with clips. They allow you to greatly increase this distance.

Well, all measurements are made, suspensions installed, you can now begin to install the carrier profile. In sum, the length of the carrier profile must be half a centimeter less than the length of the room. With this bearing strips will be easier to insert into the grooves of wall profile. In operation, the CD strips are inserted into the slots UD and fixed with screws. If the room is longer than the length of the CD carrying straps are joined together by means of special connectors.

As the CD is inserted into a UD, bearing profile is required to begin to sag. So before you perform this procedure, across the supporting profile should pull several horizontal threads (they will serve as a guide during the alignment CD). This can be done by screwing in the lower base of wall profile screws (it is for them and will cling to the filament). Immediately after installation of each strip should be aligned in a horizontal plane, while fixing it on the suspension.

After passing this stage of the installation frame is not consummated. We still have one final job - stiffening of the carrier profile. For these purposes, CD longitudinal strips should fasten together by transverse fragments made from the same material. Sleepers are installed at a distance of 50... 60 mm, and are fastened to the longitudinal profile of special connecting elements (crab).

If the attachment you for some reason are not satisfied, then there are several ways to give rigidity, avoiding certain costs. They are shown in the illustrations below.

Another option.

If you are satisfied, after all of the above operations can be safely "scatter" electrical wiring, insulation stack (if required) and start the installation of the FCL. Although the best and most reliable assistant in this case - is a specially invited (hired) people, many masters prefer to use specially made devicesAnd that it is quite possible.

Prior to installation of the GCR around the perimeter of the room (directly under the frame) should be pasted special dividing tape, allowing quality seal the joints between plasterboard and wall surface.

During installation of cut sheets do not forget about the cleaning end faces FCL and about creating chamfers at their joints.

Now let's talk about the construction of more complex plasterboard ceiling, which can also build their own.

Installation of multi-level ceiling

For the construction of multi-level ceiling, you will need to create a detailed drawing and make an accurate counting. The design of the ceiling of the future can be developed independently, and you can find a suitable option in the Internet.

Once the project is ready, and markings applied to the rough ceiling, you can create first-level framework (as is done in most cases). The sequence of operations associated with the first-level arrangement will be described in the preceding section of this article. In some cases, after the creation of the first level it immediately sheathe plasterboard. But such an approach leads to the overuse of the GCR, it would be preferable to immediately mount a multi-level frame, and then the entire structure to sheathe plasterboard. Incidentally, the basic ceiling already available can act as the first level of a complex structure. If it is smooth and has no flaws, that such an option will come up. In this case, the operation immediately begin with the creation of the second-level frame.

Setting frame for the second level also begins with the installation of wall profile (which will be inserted CD). Its located below the first level at a selected distance (10... 15 cm). In addition, the guide profile is fixed on the first level and the plane forming the inner boundary of the second level. If the second level has a curved border, during installation, use special factory or homemade (having corresponding notches) profile.

Just as in the case of single-level ceiling frame in more complex structures to be used transverse webs of the supporting profile. The upper and the lower level of the ceiling are interconnected by vertical webs and suspensions made from carrier profile.

Similarly, one can create both conventional ducts for lateral illumination, and complex structures with curved surfaces.

Once the frame is completely lined with plasterboard, you can start painting works.

To sheathe a curved surface of the frame, drywall should make special incisions on the inner surface. Thanks to them, it will be possible to bend the sheet in the desired direction without difficulty.

There is another way.

To bend the GCR, it will be easier to walk on it with a spiked roller and moisten with water. Put one above the other edge (for example on a chair or sill) and wait 3-4 minutes and sheet he bends under its own weight. Attach sheet screws better sequence every 10-15 cm, ie. K. A layer of plaster permeated water he will impart the desired curved shape.

In this article we describe the most simple construction of the technology of multilevel plasterboard ceiling. In cases with more complex design ideas required and a more professional approach. Therefore alone with the implementation of these projects, you simply can not cope.

We recommend to visit the forum section dedicated construction of plasterboard ceilings. For people motivated, wanting at all costs to mount on the ceiling of GCR-house, there is a section in our forum dedicated creation of various devicesDesigned to help the "master-alone." About ingenious technical solutions (Including, and of the machine to lift the drywall on the ceiling), which can be applied at the time of self-construction, you can learn from our video.
