Ceiling decoration Drywall allows you to create almost any shape: various bends, curly and multi-level solutions. Able to hide irregularities, utilities, electrical wiring. Loss in the height of the room from such a ceiling can be 5 cm or more, it all depends on the structure and design decision. It is worth noting that drywall is afraid of moisture, so it is rarely used when decorating a bathroom.
The benefits of plasterboard ceiling decoration:
- able to smooth out any defects and irregularities of the ceiling, while when leveling with plaster, the layer should be no more than 20 mm;
- able to hide existing wires, beams, pipes, etc .;
- creating sophisticated lighting options;
- any forms, niches for highlighting, a different number of levels - all this can be done with the help of drywall;
- allows you to hide heat and sound insulating materials;
- the work process does not contain “wet” moments - there is no need to wait until the ceiling surface dries.
- ease of construction
Disadvantages of decorating the ceiling with drywall
- loss in height of the room of at least 5 cm depends on the curvature of the surface and the complexity of the structure;
- relatively complex installation process.
For mounting the frame of a suspended plasterboard ceiling, a cold-formed metal profile with a thickness of at least 0.5 mm is used. The use of thinner profiles can contribute to the deformation of the whole ceiling structure. In the manufacture of the frame, two types of profiles are used: frame CD-60 "PP 60/27" and a guide UD-27 "PNP 28/27" with a length of 3000 and 4000 mm. During the installation process, direct, spring suspensions, a crab connector, connectors for a perpendicular profile, two-level connectors are also used, but this is not the whole list of elements, there are others but they are all alike and complement each other.
Preparation of plasterboard ceiling for painting:
- First of all, the ceiling must be primed (preferably with an acrylic primer);
- after the primer has dried, we begin to close up the joints and screws with the start putty;
- after the putty is dried, the seams are glued with a serpianka;
- putty joints again to get one plane with the ceiling;
- glass masking is glued to the entire ceiling, glue it with glue for glass wallpaper
- after the glue has dried, the starting putty is applied and after the finish is dry, the finish;
- we clean the ceiling with sandpaper until smooth and primed;
- You can proceed to direct painting (at least 2 layers).
Conclusion
Drying the ceiling with plasterboard is a rather complicated process, and if we are talking about a multi-level ceiling with outstanding lighting, then even an artistic one. Such work has many nuances, details and other troubles that affect the result. It is quite difficult to describe the entire process of decorating the ceiling in one article. It will be more like a multi-volume manual. Therefore, for your convenience, we have divided the entire work process into stages and placed it at the top of the page.
