Ceiling of gypsum cardboard: photo projects, plaster decoration, which one to use, alignment and device, white and modern, whitewashing and marking

Covering the ceiling plasterboard - it is not only simple and profitable, but also reliably optimum thickness of the drywall to the ceiling is 9 - 9.5 millimeters. Thick sheets are suitable for finishing the mill or for an attic( if it is also planned to make a living room from it).Some manufacturers produce drywall up to 24 millimeters thick, but they are already so-called refractory models. For an ordinary house they are not needed.

What plasterboard used for the ceiling: options

optimal span widthGypsum board - 150-200 centimeters. Naturally, sheets can be cut and combined in any order, creating at least a mosaic on the ceiling. And you can generally buy finished ceilings from gypsum and its derivatives, which already include a sufficient number of necessary fasteners, suspensions, profiles. This option will be ideal for a beginner-master.

If you are new to finishing the ceiling, then get ready-made ceilings from gypsum. They include all the necessary materials

Plasterboard ceilings are sold in many variations:

1. with finished finish;
2. with draft deposition;
3. with decorative faceting( used around the perimeter);
4. with increased moisture protection.

If you want to create the style of design yourself, it's better to make a drywall ceiling from ordinary sheets. On the top is whitewashing or simple painting. This is both an attractive and cheap option.

Plasterboard ceiling project: preparation

A ceiling unit made of gypsum plasterboard is its fastening on guide metal( aluminum) profiles. The technology of installation - screwing in special metal screws for metal, which will support the sheets. Of course, you can just glue them, but this option is not suitable for apartment buildings, where there is not a low probability of flooding by neighbors. Polyurethane adhesive from this pretty quickly peeled.

Properly prepared project will allow in the future to quickly calculate the planned costs for roughing and finishing trim ceiling

That includes the preparation of the project?It and:

• creation of the sketch of furnish( one-level, two-level ceiling);
• drawings of the location of gypsum boards;
• marking for suspensions;
• mark for leveling the ceiling( if necessary).

How to level the ceiling with gypsum plasterboard

Leveling the ceiling with drywall sheets is a cheap and reliable solution to the problem of building errors. How will the plaster layer be fixed only by the owner of the house.

The ceiling can be leveled precisely in that its fastening is performed on paved metal profiles. That is, this method performs marking around the perimeter and there the main restraining beam is also laid. It is recommended to maintain smooth installation with the help of a building level. If the docking in the future is not correct, then there will be a sagging.

indent may be only a few millimeters from the top of the base, and maybe more than 10 centimeters( for example, if it is planned to place the communications, water or gas pipeline)

Therefore, it is better to immediately buy to install a given level of quality fasteners, the permissible load for which is several times higher than planned.

Naturally, during the installation phase, the profile ceiling can be lowered or fixed to the ceiling if necessary.

Conventional ceiling equalization circuit includes:

1. selection of a single new level profiles for laying;
2. choice of thickness, which will correspond to fasteners;
3. determine what the ceiling height will be.

Gypsum ceiling: the correct markup

markup ceiling of giposkartona begins on the perimeter. Fastening of each sheet will necessarily be carried out on parallel rails. Therefore, the alignment is taken on one side( if the plane of the ceiling is not absolutely flat shape or with multiple bends).In Khrushchev, everything is extremely simple - the profiles are mounted directly on the wall with a groove outwards.

Even if the ceilings in the future will be arched and they are planned to cover it with gypsum plasterboard, then it is necessary to start with the installation of the guide profile along the perimeter. The standard size is 60 by 27( 28) millimeters. Naturally, the width of the sling will be identical.

If mounted roughing plasterboard( a dark gray color), it is required to supplement the UD-layers for increasing the mechanical stability of the structure

After this is done the basic layout that includes:

• Fastening of hangers on those places where the longitudinal profile will be located;
• Performing an indentation from the base of the ceiling( can be glued with fiberglass, which will increase the soundproofing of the room);
• marking of the future profile framework( indents from 400 to 600 millimeters, but are kept the same across the entire plane of the ceiling).

How to conduct a ceiling device made of plasterboard

After marking can be taken immediately after the installation of profiles. At the same stage, if necessary, conduct wiring. For example, under a bay window and similar fixtures a diode board is installed, for an outlet - automatic machines and so on. Hide all this can be in a waterproof box from the same drywall. As a cavity for wires it is just possible to use the metal profiles themselves.

Before mounting profiles for gypsum board be sure to apply it using the laser

By the way, you can mount the rack and on the glue, but on the balcony necessarily used is self-tapping screws. There, the humidity is higher, and the dynamic load is much greater. Under the base, you can lay a fiberglass - to it the fastening is made simple.

For longitudinal profiles, it is better to do the distance in the range up to 400 millimeters, for transverse profiles it is possible to set more - up to 600 millimeters. At the junction of the two profiles, a so-called crab is created - a small incision in the metal itself for docking.

For each tile of the profiles must be provided:

1. mount hanger;
2. jumper;
3. reinforcement design, which is performed by additional rails, which are rigidly attached to the ceiling base.

Ready-made plasterboard ceilings: included with

Ready-made plasterboard ceilings differ not only in the availability of fasteners, but also in correct calculation of the total static load. As a rule, such kits already have sketches and it remains only to follow the suggested instruction.

Before assembling the finished ceiling from gypsum board, you must carefully read the instruction

Complete ceiling kit includes:

• frieze;
• curb;
• stylish plinth( ceiling);
• not rarely included in the set and facing, that is, paint, whitewash or even foam plastic tiles;
• glue;
• base, for which even plywood is suitable;
• hatch for mounting in the right place of the chandelier;
• additional decor( in two-level ceilings).

Modern plasterboard ceilings: finishing

Almost all modern ceilings are finished with GKLO.This material is a derivative of drywall, but it is resistant to fire.

Ceilings GKLO - the best option for private homes

This plasterboard has a pink mark on the packaging and has a gray tint. True, it costs more than usual, as they buy it in the west in euros, and in Russia, alas, do not produce.

GKLO Pros:

1. excellent quality;
2. durability;
3. reliability;
4. practical( improves also soundproofing);
5. increased resistance to moisture( about 7 liters per square meter with observance of technology);
6. can be used on the balcony or in the open hall.

But there are also disadvantages: cost, weight, the need for binding.

white ceiling: plasterboard whitewashing

If drywall on top of planned whitewash, you do not need to buy any luxury sheets of building material. You can choose the cheapest - still they will be decorated from above. You can even choose black color, if from above, for example, will be applied a glossy layer( film).

Plasterboard under whitewash is considered to be the cheapest, but in quality is not inferior to other types of similar material

Why decorative ceilings with whitewash are considered the best?

Because such an option:

• is cheap;
• is easily restored( repeated whitewash is applied without a primer);
• durable( will last at least 3-4 years, after which you can paint).

At will, it will be possible to cover the wallpaper with wallpaper. Plus to this, if the drywall is uneven( there are notches, dents), then aligning it all with whitewashing is not a problem. But its drawbacks are low resistance to moisture. If you are even slightly flooded by neighbors, then the cladding will have to be carried out repeatedly, before getting rid of moisture.

One-level and two-level ceilings: plasterboard clearance

How do I design the ceiling plasterboard?The simplest option is a one-level one. Two-level is created on two boxes. That is, at first a solid plane of sheets, and already on them the necessary figure is created( in the same way - by mounting the guide profiles).True, this option in the apartments is not the best, because there ceilings are not high in principle. And one to cope with a single-level ceiling is not a problem.

It should be noted that between the sheets of gypsum board there must be a gap of 1-2 millimeters, as well as around the perimeter. This is necessary for the ceiling to "breathe" and there is not accumulated moisture( it is important, for example, in the bathroom).

Duplex ceilings are best used in the apartment with high ceilings

drywall life depends on several parameters:

1. ceiling height;
2. destination room;
3. the average humidity level.

In principle, the average period of permissible operation is from 12 to 17 years. If, in this way, the old dilapidated ceiling is leveled, then up to 5-7 years. In the future, there can only be problems associated with the accumulation of debris in the interlayer between gypsum plasterboard. That's why they should be covered with a layer of putty, even if the plant was primed from the plant.

Is it possible to ceilings from gypsum

Ceilings from gypsum are now used extremely rarely. Even just looking at photos or videos of such a solution, you can confidently state that drywall is better. Feedback is also confirmed.

And the gypsum is less convenient. It can not be removed higher if necessary, lifted by profiles, or fixed to it with decorative panels( a very small static load is permissible).

The ceiling made of gypsum has long lost its relevance. Gypsum board - a new stage of ceiling installation

Plaster from gypsum is ideal for only:

• production facilities;
• on the floor under the grille, for example;
• in a small house, where the ceiling area for finishing - no more than 6 square meters.

Installation of a ceiling from plasterboard( video)

Each square meter of a sheet is able to hold up to 7 liters of water without any deformation. And even if it is more - the sheet will simply bend, but it will not break. Examples of decor of ceilings from plasterboard, of course, will allow you to see the photo gallery, which is located below.
