How to make a false ceiling made ​​of plastic panels - the instruction video

At first glance, an independent manufacturer of plastic suspended ceiling panels - a task difficult.However, even a cursory acquaintance with the arrangement of the technology will help to make this work with their own hands without the help of professionals.It is only important to follow certain rules at all stages of the work.

Preparing for installation

First you need to make a drawing of future construction.Despite its relative simplicity, properly made the scheme will considerably simplify the further process of the installation of plastic panels.

ceiling design

It consists of two main elements:

• supporting structure.It is made of wooden bars of 30 * 30 mm or from stainless steel profiles for plasterboard.The latter option is preferable in the regeneration in the bathroom or kitchen - high humidity in these areas, which may affect the durability of wood components.
• plastic decorative surface.Polymer formed from flat sheets, which connect with each other via the locking mechanism.It is located at the ends of the profile.The sheets are fastened to the supporting structure.

It is necessary to consider the size of the profile of the supporting structure, the width and length of the plastic panels.It is necessary to choose such a model, so that after cutting waste left at least non-business.

frame Making

first level is done with the help of markings on the walls.This is to ensure that the plane of the support structure has substantially parallel to the floor.Then galvanized profiles (UD27) are mounted on the perimeter - they serve as a support for the main carrier (CD-40).For fixed at 20-30 cm mounted hangers.The distance between the profiles is usually equal to 40 cm.

It is important that before installing all the elements have been prepared wiring for lighting.The cable ends must be carefully insulated.

Mounting basic profiles are defined as follows:

• first perform their installation in the frame located on the perimeter.
• Then there is attachment to the suspension.Simultaneously, the level of each profile is compared arrangement.They must be positioned in the same plane.

The total height of the structure with respect to the rough ceiling is usually 5-7 cm. If in the future will be installed lighting devices, the guide will be their size.In this case, the total distance from the ceiling to the plastic panels must be equal to the height of lamps 1 cm. This is necessary for a comfortable installation of electrical appliances.

Steps for mounting the panels must first install a plastic ceiling moldings.It is located on the wall opposite the door.Mounting is performed on the profile UD27.Also begins the installation of the first panel.

mount the first rows

After the installation of the first panel is fastened to the bearing structure through a working edge.To do this, use self-tapping screws 9.5 * 3.5 with brown and round head.They should fit snugly into the profile to further not prevent the connection of the next sheet in the mounting groove.

Most often the last panel installation is associated with the greatest difficulties.Its width is greater than the distance from the plane is already installed and the walls.Therefore, it should be carefully cut along.To do this it is best to use a knife Drywall.

After this pre-mounted ceiling moldings.The last panel is mounted in it and fastened with screws.This plastic ceiling installation can be considered complete.In addition to the installation of lamps make a hole in the ceiling.For this special cutting tool to be used.Otherwise, a high probability of damage to the plastic.
