In this post we heading tips. Today one of our experts, master of tension ceilings Anatoly Suganov tell you why you should not repairers believe that promise you to pull the ceiling at a minimum distance from the surface to 1-2 cm.

In fact, the question of how much "eats" the suspended ceiling is very relevant. We still people are actively buying apartments in the old fund, and the old tenants from time to time to make repairs. And we all know that in the old-style houses, especially in the Khrushchev, low ceilings.

Suspended ceiling solves several problems at once - under it not necessary to remove the old surface, making alignment and to view it turns out perfectly flat. Of course, provided that it did skilled craftsmen. But many fear that such a construction would take valuable centimeters and make the room uncomfortable.

Today, the advertisements can be seen as some firms or private master promise to make the installation of stretch ceiling at a distance of only 12 cm from the ground.

Why do normal suspended ceiling at a distance of 5-6 cm from the surface

So, I'll tell you why you should not "lead" on attractive offers and the most dangerous stretch under the ground.

1. Differences of plates, especially in starostroe, has not been canceled. Ceilings, no matter how smooth they did not look the part, always have a height difference. On this there are some points even in the SNIP.

Smooth the surface due to the tension cloth is possible without problems. But for this it is necessary to use or ceiling mounting (with the wedge system more + 1 cm, 2 cm harpoon after leveling - more than 3 cm. Or do wall mounting, but it drilled holes at a distance of 1 cm from the ceiling is simply unrealistic.

Of course, you'll find online life hacking - drilling at an angle. But in this case, the hole will pass clear of the upper edge of the concrete panel or brick / block masonry. And this is a complete violation of security norms and loads. There is a risk that it will soon begin to peel off the concrete and masonry begins just crumble.

2. If you stretched ceiling at a distance of 1-2 cm - forget about the ceiling lights. Even if there is any sconces and floor lamps, ceiling light in the living spaces is the main source of light and its absence is unlikely you will find comfortable. Any chandelier or embedded LED lights require a 4-5 cm vertical space. Set them at 1-2 cm so that nothing sticks out, it is simply impossible.

In addition to lamps, under the false ceiling can pass all the wiring, cable internet, ventilation systems and so on. Can this all fit under a couple of centimeters? The answer is obvious.

In some homes, we have to lower the ceiling to 10 and even 12 cm. In the model homes are usually enough 5-6 cm, sometimes 4, but not 1-2 cm. Only if you are not perfectly aligned plate and you abandoned the ceiling light.

Normal Wizard will not promise everyone to pull the ceiling on such a small distance from the base, and the first will examine the object and only then will be able to reach a verdict on the best option.
