How to mount the perforated tray to the ceiling

PerforatedTrays are used in case you need to lay a cable route. Perforated areas help to remove excess heat energy. Such trays are made of plastic or galvanized steel. Sometimes stainless steel products are used.

The tray can be attached to the ceiling with:

1. Punch tape. This is the easiest way. When using a punched tape, the tray is secured with screws. Remember that the punched tape easily tears under the influence of a large load, so it is not practical to use it if the tray has a large specific weight.
2. Brackets. This fastening method is the most reliable. In addition, when using brackets, the tray can be secured in any spatial position.
3. Stud. This method is useful if you are going to conduct a large number of wires. When using hairpins, it is necessary to install an aluminum profile.

If you install a cassette ceiling, do not forget that the ceiling height will decrease by about 25 centimeters.

The installation of the cassette perforated ceiling is carried out in several stages:

• Initially, the marking and installationWall profile.
• Next, fasten the hangers. If the suspensions are spring-loaded, then the fastening tab must be reduced. Remember that to fix the suspensions you need to use metal anchors. In the places where the lighting fixtures will be installed, it is necessary to fasten additional suspensions.
• Install the main and intermediate guides.
• Then it is necessary to sew the obtained frame with plates. To do this, you need to carefully insert the cassette into the cell, and lightly turn it. As a result, you should get a perfectly flat perforated surface.

4. Do the holes in the panels for the fixtures.
5. Then proceed to install plastic perforated panels. The first panel is attached using self-tapping screws. All other panels need to be fixed on the profile rail.
6. The last panel must be inserted into the profile of the L-shaped configuration. Install
7. lighting fixtures and decorative skirting boards.

Install perforated plasterboard on the ceiling

Perforated panels of plasterboard appeared on the construction market relatively recently, however, they already had a good time to prove themselves. Such panels are fastened to a special metal or wooden crate.
