We make a plastic suspension ceiling yourself

Sometimes it happens that once having started the repair of his apartment, a person cannot stop. Yes, and the choice of material is very wide, you can even make the ceiling with a PVC panels with an appropriate pattern under malachite. With a panel length 2.7 m, width 0.25 m, thickness 8 mm, it is easy to calculate the right amount with a small margin, just in case. It is also necessary to purchase corners of plastic, wooden bar (50*50 mm), anchor bolts (8*40 mm), screws (3.5*25), as well as galvanized nails (40*2), “liquid nails” glue , stapler.

The ceiling can be insulated along the way, for which stoves from stone and non -combustible cotton are well suited. They are easy to cut and very light.

For installation, a frame of wooden beam is made. The panels must be oriented along the short wall. The first row begins with a whole panel and at the end place a segment. In the second row, on the contrary, this should be taken into account in the manufacture of the crate frame. In the joints of the panels, a bar is needed, which for durability is impregnated with a protective composition that protects it from mold and increases fire resistance.

Help for attaching gimop cardboard panels are attached to the stoves of anchor bolts. For each suspension, preferably two bolts. Suspensions are located in a step of 1.2 m. Between the bars, a distance of 0.5 m. It is not desirable to attach less often, it can lead to sagging. The next stage is the laying of thermal insulation, which is dressed on bent suspensions. So that the heat -insulating plates do not fall, they can be temporarily fixed with conventional clothespins. Place the insulation of the dispersal, so you can avoid the formation of cracks. Broaches are fixed to the suspensions, from the opposite sides of the room, they should be strictly horizontal in both planes. To the ends of the bars are attached with nails diagonally and across. We will navigate the installation of the remaining elements of the crate. Then a layer of vapor barrier is fixed, brackets to the bars. Monitor the overlap of the panels, which should be at least 100 mm. The walls also need to make an allowance of 200 mm. The first panel is attached to the crate with nails, and the inside is mounted with brackets, the following panels are inserted into the grooves of the previous panels and fastened with brackets. At temperatures below zero, installation is not recommended due to the fragility of PVC material. The last panel is cut with a knife and attached to nails. These nails will subsequently close the corners.

For cutting panels, hacksaws on wood or metal are used, you can also use the jigsaw. Marking can be carried out using a marker. The stapler can be used the cheapest, as it turned out, it is the most reliable. To install lamps may need a ring saw on a tree. But when cutting, it is necessary to put a piece of board, while the holes will be even. It is advisable to ventilate the purchased plastic panels for 2-3 days, which will save them from an unpleasant odor.
