drywall can create a simple single-level design, and smart systems in several tiers GCR aka giposkarton sheet, fairly cheap material based on cellulose and plaster. It has a low weight, it can be easily mounted on any plane( using aluminum profiles).Directly at its installation, a slight indentation from the base of the plaster is done. If necessary, the lines are aligned around the perimeter, which makes it possible to hide the visual defects of the main ceiling without parsing it.

best technology ceilings of GCR
best sheet of drywall on the ceiling mount technology technology - this is a commentnenie KNAUF system. That is, fixing each sheet separately to a pre-mounted aluminum profile. That, in turn, can be rigidly fixed both to walls, and the basic ceiling.
Suspension on the belts are made if necessary( for example, if the length of each span is more than 4-5 meters).
It should be mentioned that the GCR is allowed: paint
- ;
- finishing finishing;
- covered with PVC foil;
- whiten.
leader in the manufacture of gypsum board ceiling is a global company, which manufactures its products under the trademark of Knauf
Mounted box of GCR ceiling
What will the mounted box?Ability to create a two-level ceiling. In one of the parts( the base of which will be lower), you can mount all necessary lighting. There, without any problems, other communications( cable for the Internet, output of the counter) will fit. The most difficult part is the calculation. Installation implies that the first level will be fully secured initially. From above - the boxes are fastened to the new guiding profiles.
It should be taken into account that the total weight of the structure will be quite large, therefore, it is necessary to provide additional fastening in advance.
But for this purpose they are best suited:
- partitions( with observance of SNiP);
- fake lining behind which the hoods of self-tapping screws are hidden;
- hard binder of the second level.
often equip boxes of plasterboard on the ceiling, giving it a multilevel
Which option would be ideal for a given situation?It is better to entrust this choice to professional builders or a designer.
Painting GKL ceiling: variants
Painting ceilings on the basis of gypsum board sheets is best done with water-based paint( emulsion).Its key advantage is the absorption into the cellulose base. Accordingly, in the future it will not burn out under the sun's rays, nor increase the surface roughness. Acrylic paint has similar properties, but it should not be used indoors. In addition, the painting should be carried out with a spray gun, and not with traditional rollers. After the last will remain visually noticeable dents.
Do I even need to paint GKL ceilings?There are several advantages to this:
- greater mechanical stability;
- protection against insects( if such are found in the house at all);
- waterproofing from steam.
When choosing colors need to start from the ceiling materials and characteristics of your room
The disadvantages can also be attributed only to the fact that re-painting have to do every 3-5 years. And if there is no problem with the usual ceiling, then it will take a lot of time to tinker at two levels.
GKL or GVL for ceiling: differences
GVL, it's gipsovolokno - this is the same gypsum board, but also produced a few by other technology. Its thickness is almost the same, but it is used mainly in those rooms where there are increased requirements for fire safety. And their exterior finish is not recommended. However, many manufacturers still decorate such sheets with figured cutting and carving even in factory conditions.
Advantages of GVL:
- reliability;
- higher moisture absorption coefficient( up to 12 liters per square meter);
- absolutely smooth surface.
Mounting of the sheet GVL is also performed using a pre-installed metal framework of profiles. The attachment device is identical to that used with plasterboard( Knauf).
GVL( gypsum fiber sheets) have a special hydrophobic impregnation and therefore can be used in rooms with high humidity
Mounting the GKL on the ceiling with your own hands
It is not difficult to mount the GKL installation yourself. The main task before the expert is to determine the nominal level of fastening the profiles. As a rule, the spacing is from 3 to 10 centimeters. If it is planned to install lighting fixtures or equip it with illumination, the distance can be increased. If the top is a wooden ceiling, then it is recommended to punch a layer of fiberboard.
Even if it is planned to do two-level - the first thing is completely put the first level( whole linen).The box is already packed on this layer. A simple calculator and several mathematical formulas will allow you to find out exactly how much for all this material it will take.
Mounting procedure for ceiling from GKL:
- marking;
- plaster of the main ceiling;
- installation of aluminum profiles that will hold the structure;
- alternate sheet installation;
- installation of cornices at the base of the walls.
This process can be considered in more detail in the photos and videos below.
From gypsum cardboard it is possible to build arches, steps, sheds, symmetrical figures on the ceiling and walls
Variant: ceiling from GKL using KNAUF technology
With KNAUF system it is possible to create still so-called soaring ceiling, Which is not attached around the perimeter to the walls. On the sides, as a rule, there is attached LED lighting.
The fixing of the floating ceiling is based on:
- profiles with elongated faces;
- belts;
- beams( if necessary).
Suspended ceiling from Knauf sheets( video)
What is the advantage of the Knauf system?In that it is suitable for any home, while already after installing the ceiling at all will not be noticeable. This also applies to the installation of GVL sheets.
