You dream of a unique design of an apartment made by your own hands? Or you are embarrassed by the ceiling, which was initially not perfect? Or maybe you want to hide numerous communications and wiring? The best solution will be drywall ceilings. Drywall ceiling also significantly improves the acoustic properties of the room.
Where to start? Naturally, with the selection of material. The main component is drywall itself. Pendant ceilings are best collected from special lightweight sheets with a thickness of 9.5 mm. But they are rarely in stores. Therefore, you can use standard sheets with a thickness of 14 mm. If it is planned to place the ceiling from drywall in the bathroom, then it is necessary to take special sheets with water -repellent impregnation. They are marked with green. The size of the sheets is standard: width 1.2 meters, length from 2 to 4 meters.
Gypsum cardboard is attached to metal profiles: narrow (27 x 28mm) as guides, wide (60 x 27 mm) as rack. Their length is standard -3 meters. If necessary, increase using self -tapping screws and butt connectors.
If you decide to make the ceiling from drywall yourself, then start with small rooms such as the hallway or bathroom. After mastering the technology, you can easily move to large rooms.
At what height to place suspended ceilings from drywall? Most often, they begin to make markings at an altitude of 5-10 cm from the ceiling, if you want to mount point lamps, then you need to add another 2-3 centimeters. Marking is necessarily carried out using a level of at least a meter length.
The installation of metal profiles is installed on this marking. Further, according to the plan, there is an electrical wiring with the placement of all conceived lamps. The frame is sewn up using screws with drywall sheets. The joints between the sheets are reinforced with a special ribbon, the ceiling is putty and cleaned. This is followed by standard painting work, such as primer and painting. So that the suspended ceilings made of drywall are protected from cracks and chips, often on top of the sheets, glasshole is applied.
Plasterboard ceilings will not only be an excellent decoration of your apartment or office, but also a reliable environmentally friendly decoration of the room.
