Various hinged ceilings are provided by the construction organizations in all variety of the choice. However the ceiling from gypsum cardboard has a number of advantages before all analogs. It both absolutely plain smooth surface, and convenience of mounting of lamps, and possibility of installation of different levels. Besides, such ceiling can be painted different colors in addition.
Options of design of ceiling from gypsum cardboard with illumination are very various. Lamps can be chosen centralized, hidden, dot, directed, multi-colored and from various materials too. Very beautifully the combination from multilevel hinged ceiling with installation of several types of lighting looks.
The ceiling from gypsum cardboard is absolutely universal, it will relevant look in any room, even the bathroom and toilet.
The design has to be the strongest therefore all bearing parts, namely suspension and fastenings need to be attached to ceiling reliably. To avoid sagging of HL of beam it is necessary to place at small distance from each other.
Materials and tools for mounting of HL
Necessary materials for mounting of plasterboard ceiling are first of all special suspension which fastens to ceiling. As fastening metal dowel nails and anchor-kliny are most often used. Attach to suspension profile, and on them sheets of gypsum cardboard.
Select materials qualitative, not only the esthetic type of ready ceiling, but also duration of its service depends on it.
It is desirable to buy also laser level, it will provide the maximum surface evenness. You need also tape measure, pencil, the perforator and the screw driver.
Mounting of ceiling from plasterboard fiber
Calculate and plan lines across which there will pass the starting framework. Measure the necessary distance from ceiling and draw flat lines by means of the laser level. On the planned lines fix rakes, the main guides are inserted into framework for gypsum cardboard and fasten to suspension self-tapping screws.
The sizes at marking are calculated proceeding from what length and thickness of HL you have chosen.
Attach long-edged profiles longwise of the room. These bearing are fixed by means of so-called "crabs", special fastenings which can be got in any shop of construction materials. When the framework is completely established and fixed, attach to it sheets of gypsum cardboard. It is possible to use self-tapping screws, but consider that hats should not support leaf limits. Leave small gaps which then it is necessary to putty and zashkurit all surface of ceiling between sheets. After that it is desirable to cover sheets with primer and to paint ready ceiling any suitable color. If desired it is possible to make niches of the same gypsum cardboard and even difficult multilevel designs, but only if you have the corresponding experience. Otherwise it is better to employ professionals.
Choice of surface mounted luminaires
Lighting needs to be chosen at repair planning stage. Three types of lighting equipment most of all are suitable for hinged ceilings from gypsum cardboard: lamp or chandelier of the central lighting, network of LED or dot lamps, or hidden scattered lighting by such tubes and wires as dyuralayt and laytek.
It is possible to use for lighting not only one any way of lighting, but also a little at once in various combinations, regulating the level and the direction of illumination.
Depending on what type of lighting you will choose, also the mounting mode of lighting equipment will depend.
Mounting of surface mounted luminaires
Original illumination is capable to change completely the room, to give it special chic and charm, but for this purpose it is necessary not only to place correctly bulbs, but also to make lighting safe from ignition and electric shock. The wire can be stacked only in special nonflammable boxes which still are called sleeves. It is absolutely unacceptably simple to fix wiring over profiles. It is desirable to close sleeve hermetically to avoid possible water ingress when flooding the apartment by neighbors.
For connection of wires do special raspayechny box.
Select wires at the rate of loading from the power of lighting equipment to avoid short circuit. If you want to establish one or several speakers of lamps, for example, chandelier of the central lighting, then to you will be to make small opening in the place of joints of sheets of gypsum cardboard for wires and fastening enough. At the lighting system which is built in ceiling you will need to mark and cut through special openings under these devices then to establish and fix dot or LED elements in the turned-out holes. The hidden lighting can be established directly in hinged ceiling in joints between sheets which in this case are not filled with putty tightly. Such shining cord also is suitable for mounting in eaves, or in niches between levels at installation of multilevel plasterboard ceiling. Dyuralayt and laytek – give not enough light therefore they are used, as a rule, only as additional lighting.
