1. Initial( perimetrial starting profile)
2. Basic( supporting frame profile)
3. Longitudinal profile( for stiffness and reliability)

There are only two technologies for wall mounting with sheets. This is a technology called Knauf and Giprok. You can see them and evaluate them yourself. Experienced masters prefer Giprok technology, since our suspension and profile, so to speak the basis of which the entire load-bearing structure of the suspended ceiling consists and which are attached later, drywall sheets are done not by European standards, as in other things. .. OneIn short, to make a good and high-quality suspended ceilings, you need to include wit.

The construction of your ceiling from GKL, first of all, should be strong. And all the other parts( mounts, hangers) should be very well fixed to the base itself at such a distance that would not let the drywall sheets sag. Because it is sagging that leads to the appearance of cracks between the joints of the sheets and the appearance of the hillocks. Under the fastening of drywall you need to select quality and technological materials.

Materials and tools for installation of suspended ceiling from gypsum board

First of all, these are special suspensions( photo on the left), which must be fixed to the base. What would they firmly and securely attached, use the so-called dowel - nails( photo from the left) or metal anchors - wedges. More preferable is the dowel - a nail. To the suspensions with the help of the so-called "toddlers", shown in the figure below under the number 1,( screws with a metal burr, they are better "included" in the profile) a profile of 70 mm width is attached. Then go themselves sheets of plasterboard with a width of 12.5 mm, they are screwed with the screws indicated in the photo on the right under the number 2. In length, measure each piece yourself, depending on the size of the ceiling. You also need a laser level. And do not forget about roulette, pencil, puncher and screwdriver, you can not do without it. In the video lesson, everything is clearly shown. Calculate the right number of sheets and profiles, accessories, our free online calculator will help.

An example of installing a single-level false ceiling with your own hands.

To begin with, you need to chart a line for the original profile, to do this, use the laser or water level to help. The distance from the ceiling should be 10 - 20 cm. Do so that it would be possible to hide electrical wiring, communications, etc. Put the level on the elevation. Mark the line on the wall with a pencil. Then attach the guides along the perimeter of the room along this horizontal line by dowels in increments of 350-500 mm.from each other.

The next stage will be the marking of the ceiling for the main bearing rails. To begin with, you need to draw parallel lines greater than 1250 mm, this is where half the sheet of drywall. The sheets of plasterboard will be fastened with a small gap between them, and when we putty, what could be filled with gypsum mixture to seal the seams between the sheets. The main profiles will run along the edges of the sheet and in the middle, please note. And on these lines we will fix the hangers on the metal anchors - wedges or dowels of 400 mm size.

Now you can take the profile guides and insert them into the starting frame, which we fixed around the perimeter of the walls of the room. The only thing you should not do is insert them in the back of the wall, you need to leave a small gap, so that there is no deformation of the ceiling from various unforeseen circumstances, like temperature expansions. Therefore, insert the guides into our hangers. Guides are attached to the suspension brackets by metal screws, 2 on each side of the profile. For horizontality, always check with a long level or with a laser.

Further installation of a ceiling from gypsum cardboard with own hands, assumes a marking and an insert of longitudinal profiles( a photo from the right).It is recommended to look at the specification for transverse installation of sheets of gypsum board guides about 600 mm, and for longitudinal - 400 mm. You can choose a design option for yourself and watch the video. Here we will consider the transverse fastening. You can easily cut the longitudinal profiles from the scissor guides on the metal to the desired length. Then insert the longitudinal profiles between the guides also in steps of about 500mm. They should be located so that they do not fall on the ends of the fastening of the guide profiles with suspensions.

Longitudinal profiles are attached to the guides, using special crabs, the photo above. To make the structure more durable, use a different structure for fixing the longitudinal profiles. Two sections are attached to the supporting profile and a longitudinal one is inserted in them. It is this method that very well strengthens the structure. To fix the longitudinal profile it is possible with the help of hangers, approximately in the middle of each.

It is possible to use pieces of the same profile for rigid fixing of the profile to the ceiling, but it must first be cut at the edges and bent by the letter D. For convenience, first measure the distance from the ceiling to the bottom edge of the profile, this will be the cut point and leave about 3 centimeters for fasteningdowel to the ceiling. Please note that it is necessary to fasten the dowel closer to the edge of the profile bend in order to prevent sagging under the weight of drywall sheets. With this method, you can make your own hangers of any length and the ceiling can be raised or lowered to the desired distance.

Step back from the wall a few millimeters, that would drywall drywall. Attach the sheets across the longitudinal profiles. First sheet attach from the wall, and the next one is starting with the first longitudinal profile. Distance( between the wall and the longitudinal profile), seal half the sheet. So we pass the whole ceiling. Fasten the sheets of gypsum cardboard to all the profiles laid with metal screws in steps of about 15-20 cm.

The self-tapping screws do not need to be strongly heated, they should be almost flush, but not sticking out above the plane of the plasterboard. This will help you with a screwdriver with a stiffener, set it so as to achieve the operation of the limiter on the easy deepening of the screw. Make a gap between the sheets in 2 - 3mm, to further seal the seams with a gypsum mixture.

That's all. It remains only to cover the joints that formed between the sheets. It is necessary to fill the ceiling completely, first pass it with a primer, with putty, it may be necessary to twist the protruding screws. To seal joints well, use a special mixture or gypsum mixture. It is superimposed with a sticky reinforcing mesh, made of fiberglass. And level with a spatula, so she does not stick out. When everything is dry, remove all patched areas with fine sand from the stains. In the same way, the gaps that are formed between the wall and the sheets of gypsum board are also processed.
