Laying of ceiling tiles with their hands

For finishing the ceiling, there are many different ways. From budget to the most expensive, which can not be carried out without the intervention of professionals. Today will discuss the budget sposobe- is taping the ceiling tile of expanded polystyrene. To understand how this kind of budget will share their real figures on the costs. On 8 packs (pack contains 8 sheets) tiles it took me 376 rubles. In addition to the tiles, adhesive needs. In my case, the polymeric adhesive has been used. This adhesive seemed to me very good until the moment when he finished and did not have to buy the first got the glue, it turned out to be "the time of installation", its value was 2 times more expensive than the last. Price was quite justified, glues it is much faster and stronger than ever. Therefore, those who do not want to stand for half an hour with their hands up and wait for the pasted tiles advise "the time of installation."

adhesive Application

A small amount of adhesive is applied in a tile center, then drops diagonally from this point, then we hold the line around the perimeter of the tile. For durable fixing, it is necessary to hold the tile glue smeared on the air for about 2-3 minutes. To determine the exact exposure time is read the instructions on the bottle.

Laying of the ceiling tiles diagonally

Laying diagonally in my opinion is the most interesting, than laying in rows. Tiles, in the case of diagonal embodiment, can be glued to the center and from the chandelier. My installation started from the chandeliers, distributing starting four plates so that the tops of converging at the site of attachment of the chandelier.

And from these four tiles glue later and so on until the end, filling the ceiling.
