Galvanized suspended ceilings: metal profile for steel ceiling, frame device

metal ceiling - is a unique and waterproof plastic grid system that is easy to assemble, with no special skills Metal ceilings are made from either galvanized profile, or aluminum. Aluminum, of course, is more expensive, and in many respects it is better, but a completely legitimate question arises: is it always, in all cases, it is needed?Not always the choice of aluminum justifies itself, and it is far from always worth overpaying extra money when in this case there are more budgetary, galvanized suspended ceilings. In addition, the powder paints existing today will create an aesthetic appearance of the ceiling, which will suit almost everyone, even the most demanding, consumer.

Galvanized metal profiles for suspended ceiling

metalmatic galvanized profile is manufactured on special equipment which provides a high degree of accuracy and correct geometry.

The profile is made of galvanized low-carbon steel.

Profiles are divided into several types.

Profile types:

• Main profile CD. Its length, as a rule.3 or 4 meters, but there are other lengths, for example, 2,6;3.4;3, 6 m, etc. It is used in the installation of false ceilings, mansards. In a pack of 24 pieces. Width of 60 mm.
• Wall profile UD. Length, same, 3-4 meters. Used for fixing and for connecting the structure of the wall with the ceiling. There are mounting holes in it. In a pack of 32 pieces. Width 28 mm.
• Rack profiles C-50, C-75, C-100. Thickness of metal is 0, 5-0, 8 mm. Their length varies from 2, 6 to 4 meters. This is a vertical profile for the partitions. The design can be either single or double. It has special holes for mounting various communications. In a pack of 12 pieces.
• Profile lightweight CDN. Length of 3 meters. They mount false ceilings and connect the wall with a false ceiling.

quality profiles plays not only an important and key role in this stage as a ceiling device.

Suspended ceilings from galvanized steel: budget variant

As already mentioned, galvanized ceilings are the most budgetary in comparison with the same aluminum.

Galvanized ceilings can be arranged, practically, anywhere, that is in any premises, since they are free of any prohibitions and restrictions in this regard.

The metal used for the production of cassettes is reliably protected from corrosion and aggressive environments, and is designed for a very long life. Galvanized ceilings in comparison with aluminum, have some advantages.

Advantages economy structures

1. greater strength than the aluminum, allowing their installation in gymnasiums - ceilings are not afraid of deformation;
2. They are more resistant to abrasion than aluminum ceilings.

markup base ceiling produce using laser level

need to partition walls so that is offset from the main ceiling, in at least 15cm. In the event that there are a lot of communications, then this indentation should be increased for normal placement.

It would be very good to use this laser level. This tool will greatly simplify the process of marking, because your main goal is to achieve a perfectly flat plane.

instructions step by step:

1. to attach trim corner profile by means of dowels or screws. If the walls are concrete, then, due to their special strength, they should be marked and drilled with a perforator.
2. We fix the profile. The distance between the dowels is about 0.5 meters.
3. We install the suspension. Do not do this "by eye", but in the beginning it is worthwhile to identify the places where the guides will intersect. More accurate markup can be done with a cord. Preliminary makes a marking on the wall where the guide profile will be fastened, and then, this technique is used on the opposite wall. We connect the tags with a cord, which, in this case, is used instead of a ruler. Note the intersection points along the cord.
4. Drill holes for the installation of hangers.
5. Install the guides.
6. Hooks of suspensions need to be connected with the main profile, while adjusting the height of the hangers by means of a clampless clip.

After performing all the operations described, install the cassettes. Do not forget to praise yourself for a job well done!
