How to choose a quality tile for the ceiling?
In order to know how to glue a tile on the ceiling, you must first properly choose the material for these purposes. In general, it is subdivided into three types : extruded, injection and pressed( stamped). The first has a smooth texture and can be painted under marble, wood, etc. The second is provided with a clear and deep image, as well as regular geometric shapes. Well, the first one has a grainy picture and has an optimal ratio in price and quality.
What should I look for when buying really high-quality material? The first step is to look at its geometry( the correctness of shapes and sizes).The edges should be straight, the angles should be 90 degrees. To make sure that one tile is relative relative to the other, you can superimpose them on each other with a bar. The second point to which attention is paid is the material itself, which should not crumble, break off, the grain and density throughout the tile should be the same.
Note! If you choose a pressed( pressed) tile, then you can check its quality as follows. It is enough to take the material behind the corner and shake it a little. Under its own weight, a reliable tile should not break.
How to glue the ceiling tile: prepare the surface and materials
For the actual application process, appropriate tools and materials are needed. To glue the ceiling tiles successfully, high-quality glue such as "Eco-naset", "Titan", "Moment", as well as a gun for sealant, are needed. If we talk about which composition is better, then we can say that they are all good, with the only difference being that "Moment" quickly grasps.
Also, before the ceiling is tiled with a tile, it must be removed from the package and allowed to "lie down" for several hours. Thus, it will "get used" to the existing humidity and temperature. And after that there will be no deformation, when the ceiling tile label will be made. The surface is also worth preparing. The main rule is that it should be dry, clean and even.
Therefore, if there is an old coating, it is removed. Loose whitewash must be cleaned. All kinds of pits and potholes are leveled in the process of putty. If there are only small crevices, then they can not be closed. This material will hide them in an excellent way. In the event that the surface is sheathed with particleboard or plywood, it is primed. After all these works, the substrate must dry out.
How to glue ceiling tiles: mastering the main rules of
After everything is ready, the main question arises - how correctly to glue the ceiling tile? For this it is important to carry out a number of simple recommendations. First, using a marker, you need to draw a schematic note on the surface of the tile( parallel or diagonal).Start to dilute the glue mixture. The recipe is always written on the package. After it is applied to the material itself.
Next, the question arises - how to put the tile on the ceiling and from which point do you need to start? Mark the central point from the chandelier and around it glue the first four tiles. After continue the process of applying the previously noted scheme. If the chandelier is located in the center, then everything should turn out perfectly smoothly. But there are also situations when the chandelier is not located in the center. Many consumers are puzzled by the question - how to glue the ceiling tile in this case?
In this situation, through the point where the chandelier is located, draw two perpendicular lines. In the learned right angles, lines are also drawn at an angle of 45 degrees. Then the process is identical. At the final stage, a skirting board is applied. Ceiling tiles, a video tutorial on applying which is available on our website, will pass perfectly well if all recommendations are observed.
