Repair of the ceiling must begin with a study of its surface: the state of the base layer, the presence of cracks and roughness How to start repairing the ceiling?Of course, with the analysis of the surface - in what form the base ceiling, whether it should be leveled, etc. And the initial view can be different - from almost ideal, to requiring alignment. For example, in many, a new building requires embedding of rusts, furrows of docking concrete panels.

And only then you can choose the future design, materials, etc. If you are afraid at this stage to make mistakes, invite specialists at least for diagnosis. They will tell you where to start and what needs to be corrected, and you will not worry about the further course of events.

Interior ceiling repair: cleaning

First, the ceiling must be prepared for repair. What this means is that you must clean it of the old finish. You can bring the ceiling in order and most. If the ceiling has been whitewashed, painted, plastered or wallpapered, it will not be difficult to get rid of this coating.

For this you need:

• Take the paint roller and the bar, moisten the roller with warm water and squeeze out a little;
• Then, roll a part of the ceiling, beginning with a slight pressure on the roller, ending with stronger clamps to the ceiling;
• As soon as you see that the roller has become dry again, dipping it again in water - and again you need to do the same;
• After a couple of square meters of ceiling well to wet, take a tool such as a spatula, and clean whitewash, plaster or wallpaper to putty or concrete base.

First of all, before the repair is carried out preparatory work: cleaning of the ceiling of the old paint layer

Next you need to do a test - to check the strength of the layer of putty. If it keeps well, do not remove it. If in doubt, remove this filler and apply a new one. A doubt will arise if the putty begins to crumble or flake off.

If there is an old paint or tile on the ceiling

Often the ceiling was painted with a simple oil paint or a water-based paint. Removing the paint is not so simple. The following methods are commonly used: chemical and mechanical.

Mechanically remove the paint either with sandpaper or with a spatula. But this is far from a new technology, the process is dusty and long. There are options and simpler - this is a special wash, you can buy it in the building materials store. When you impregnate the paint with a wash, you will have to wait 12 hours, the paint will soften and easily separate from the surface.

If the ceiling tile is glued polystyrene

• Rid ceiling from such skin can be the same spatula with a sharp blade;
• After that, a part of the glue may remain on the ceiling, but it must be removed, otherwise the subsequent repair will not be possible.

These simple tips are just the beginning of the process, called the integrated ceiling repair. Do not ignore the stage of leveling the ceiling and removing the old finish, they directly affect what the strength and reliability of the new ceiling will be.

Proper ceiling repair: primer and putty

Without these steps, it is almost impossible to repair the ceiling. An exception is the erection of suspended structures that "allow" not to mess with alignment.

If you proceed step by step, the next step is priming:

• First you check the seams and joints on the ceiling, each seam and joint must be filled with plaster or plaster mortar, which is very firmly held there.
• Apply a primer to the surface, of course - deep penetration, this will improve the adhesion with subsequent finishing.
• Primer is applied with a brush or roller.

A primer layer of deep penetration is applied to the work surface to ensure better adhesion between the concrete ceiling and the subsequent coating

The following work can only be transferred when the current stage is completely completed. That is, when the primer has dried. Then you either shpatlyuete, or plaster the surface. Each master has his own arguments in favor of this or that method.

For example, plaster reduces the centimeter by three height of the room, and by weight it is not lightweight.

As for the putty, it gives a large shrinkage, which requires, respectively, the application of several layers. Stucco work is easier, and the time for this alignment process will be less.

Both the process of the wall plastering, and the process of the plaster ceiling are very similar. The only difficulty is that the plastering of the ceiling is physically heavier, since the surface is not vertical.

Sequence of ceiling painting

If the floor today, consider, do not paint, then the ceiling can still be transformed with paint.

Painting of the ceiling coating starts from the room window, moving deep into the living room.

Painting is very simple:

• Dye the coloring composition to the optimum density( usually using water-based paints or oil);
• As a tool, you need a roller on a long bar and a brush;
• Begin painting from the edges, they just need, according to the rules, to paint with a brush;
• Cover the central area with a roller.

It happens that a painted ceiling needs partial repair. In places where the paint is swollen or exfoliated, you need to clean it with a spatula. Then this place can be painted over again. True, such methods are imperfect, with a partial repair of the ceiling still does not last long, you will have to remove the old finish and paint the ceiling on a new one.
