How to make a hollow decorative ceiling beams to hide communication.

IN Part One We discussed about the design of decorative ceiling beams and the process of their production of timber, obtained massive design exclusively for interior decoration. In this part we will talk about more functional simulations - hollow, where you can carry out various communications, to do without shtrobleniya floors. The hollow ceiling falshbalki easier to install spotlighting. Ceiling falshbalkami by craftsmen FORUMHOUSE: all the details of the technology.

Wood and slab falshbalki

As is the case with solid falshbalkami previously selected dimensions of beams based on the size and geometry of the room, and circuit layouts. Unlike the beams from the beam, which will simulate and supporting structures below the ceiling, use only the hollow for mounting on a ceiling. This saves lumber and produce them in the form of tripartite box. As a board, board falshbalki on the ceiling must be dry; story box will not lead, but the seams on the product may show, in spite of the various fitting and fasteners. To increase the strength of connection elements usually combined - fasteners, glue or tongue and groove system, reinforced adhesive. Most often, yet simple joint elements and the connection to the bar, because the angular under 45⁰ or tongue and groove requires certain skills joinery and tool base, not exhaustive jigsaw, router, and need a special nozzle.

Connect with the help of the bars on the screws and glue obtained sufficiently reliable, does not require special skills, enough diligence and accuracy. A side seams can "hide" by plastering with painting or decorative overlays and can be brushed to emphasize, and they lost on the general background, as suggested by our craftsmen.

If you are sure that the tree for falshbalki dry, easily connect a butt. If you were aged (brushed), even if the seams a little disperse, not much will. Good PVA plus screws, place them at regular intervals and cover with a decorative strip (for forging) with simulated hats forged nails. You can look for the old, beaten time boards, but be sure to check for parasites.

That the joint was flat, sidewall maximum tightly fitted to the base, if necessary convexity clean plane and a large sandpaper. Build itself falshbalki ceiling consists of several stages:

• Attach mounting bars - fasten screws to the sidewalls with a pitch of 15-20 cm.
• Drilling for screws - perpendicular to the previous line of fasteners drill holes for fastening to the base of the sidewalls. Step fasteners retained, but between the screws should be at least 0.5 cm.
• Gluing - according to instructions, but the layer must not be too thin (not grasp how to) too abundant to not leak outside.
• Assembling - after a sustained period specified in the instruction to glue sidewall falshbalki ceiling is connected to the base and the tapping screws screwed into holes prepared.

If you plan to artificially age the resulting box, it is recommended prior to treatment with a sharp ax to walk across the surface and make the chips and nicks. They will add to the ceiling falshbalke naturalness and this together with the brushing time create a feeling battered wood, and the seams will be practically invisible. One of our members of the forum even glued sides, and looks very organic.

I did the board of 50x200 mm, decor old, Morillo, lachil. Angular beam even glued to obtain imitation beams 200x200 mm.

Hollow beams to the ceiling mounted on a frame or bar profile for drywall along the entire length or small fragments. Cap screws are driven countersunk, smeared putty and coloring, can also be used to fix laths or transverse beam clamps - wrought iron or leather. According to the same beam technology can be made not of wood, and of board materials - plywood, chipboard, MDF.

According to the plan I have decorative rafter beam - a beam is narrow and high, such moldings have not found a wooden array of hard, is not suitable. Ordered from the furniture makers of chipboard 16 mm, will collect the U-shaped beam - from within a framework of wooden beams and installationthe ceiling or on the duralumin frame.

When talking about the plates, the best option is slot connection sidewalls and bottoms. This method is shown in the drawing.

Falshbalki on plasterboard

Not all are able and like to work with wood, in this case, the best option would be hollow beams made of plasterboard - is going to frame profile and sheathed. Lapping will depend on the desired effect if needed modern smooth texture - thin layer of paint and putty, eslibolee relief - a thicker layer with deliberately rough strokes. After marking the ceiling, according to the selected layout, the assembly is carried out in several stages:

• On the dowels mounted two guides. Based on the size of the beam, they are placed near or at a distance.
• By the guide at regular intervals are fixed lengths of rack profile, they shape the future of the beam height (considering entering the guides).
• To Racks profile fasten two more slides - the foundation under the bottom of the beam.
• Strips are cut to size in any building with a knife.
• Sheathe plasterboard box series, the last screws to fix the bottom. When fixing sheets hats utaplivajut bit, it was not necessary to make a thick layer at Shpatlevanie.

Some use a different algorithm:

• Bolted to a predetermined guide width.
• Plasterboard screwed to the guide side walls (using sheets of greater thickness) desired width.
• To the side guides to fasten the lower edge.
• To fasten the bottom of the guide.

After mounting boxes embedded joints serpyanku (reinforcing glass fibers in the form of ribbons) and shpatljujut. If relief is scheduled smooth, only one topcoat, when you need an invoice, used in the decoration of the starting lineup. Before Shpatlevanie falshbalku on the ceiling must be primed. If you add the acrylic primer in water for mixing, plaster will more elastic and better lies. Before painting finish layer of putty is polished fine sandpaper or a special nozzle and also primed.

In one of the forum shows how right angles to dock and make the coffered ceiling. Ceiling with the effect of a starry sky - also a derivative of the drywall. In the video - the house in the Bavarian styleIn which the main role assigned to the beams.
