And , whatever material for finishing is chosen, training bases should be done necessarily.

Preparations include surface cleaning, sealing of cracks, seams and joints, if they show up, priming the ceiling.

Cleaning

surface from the surface of the ceiling must be sure to remove the old paint if it has at least a small crack or even in some places has become separated from the base and fall off.If this is not done, then all the work go down the drain, and very soon will have repair repeat.

The work always begins with the removal of old coatings

Cutting chisel cracks

  • crack, after its expansion should be well cleaned from dust and pieces of plaster - this proce ss etc. Gadfly using brush .
  • Then in split crack must-primed, which will add the surface adhesion its blurring plaster solution.Priming is performed by brush, across the length and depth of the gap.
  • Depending on the width and depth of the defect, it can be embedded with sealant, plaster mortar or assembly foam.

- If the gap is zapenen, it is necessary to wait until the foam expand and harden, and then it surplus neatly cut to the level of the ceiling surface.

- When sealing of putty, sealant or repair mortar based on cement or plaster, if the crack is wider, it is recommended to use fiberglass mesh-serpyanku - it becomes a kind of reinforcing a "bridge" connecting the two opposite sides of the crack, andwill not allow this to manifest shortcomings through new decorative coating.

composition is applied to the surface of the crack with force, so that it penetrated the entire depth, necessarily grabbing edge.On the solution layer is glued and smoothed serpyanka.It should be wider fracture gap of about 10 ÷ 15 mm on each side of the defect.

main characteristics of the different types of plaster

Properties plasters
mineral acrylic silicate silicone
basic substance cement acrylic resin liquid glass silicone resin
vapor permeability high low high high
Water absorption high low average low
Exposure to pollution average high low very low
pigment type inorganic inorganic, organic inorganic inorganic, organic
elasticity low high average high
UV resistance high low high high
Microbiological resistance average low high high
abrasion resistance low high high high
resistance to ozone high low high high

Align the ceiling plaster (filler) is considered the most traditional method, but this method is rather complicated for the unprepared person, and must be properly adapt himself to the work went quickly.You can conduct training on small individual plots - this will give the opportunity to understand.As the forces to be such an operation on the entire surface of the ceiling.

therefore often chosen method of attachment gipsokarto on on specially prepared metal frame made of galvanized profile - so it is possible align even the curve of the ceiling.In addition, between the ceiling and the foundation can be laid insulating material that insulates the room from the noise of the top of an apartment or room to insulate a private home.

frame drops below the substrate surface to a maximum of 100 ÷ 150 mm, but if the ceilings are low, it is possible to omit the metal crate only 50 ÷ 70 mm.

work is conducted in the following sequence:

  • First the surface markings, and are indicated by lines which are fastened guides.The most convenient way to perform it using the methylene blue colored twine .On both sides of the room vymeryat points between which stretched twine , further pulled her , hand around her middle and released.Thus, the ceiling remains beaten off color, completely flat strip.

Similarly, wires and perpendicular lines.On the ceiling is obtained large cell size, usually 600 × 600 mm.The last elements of crates must be held at a distance of 50 ÷ 70 mm from the wall.
