Profile for suspended ceilings - products and basic features

Special profiles are used for mounting the tension polotka

You know that the profile for ceilings determines the reliability and durability? I am ready to share its experience in this area and tell them about the types of products and their major differences.

Here it is a sectional mount most prevalent harpoon mounting system

types of products

Profiles for suspended ceilings are chosen depending on the type of installation. There are three options:

1. Shtapikovy installation;
2. clip-on fasteners;
3. harpoon system.

Let us which profiles used in each case.

Shtapikovaya system

This method of fastening of a tension blade is simple and reliable

Often, these systems are called wedge, since the canvas is secured by a wedge. In this case, these types of products are used:

• plastic profile. The easiest and cheapest option, its price is 50 rubles per square meter (prices are relevant for the spring of 2017). Produced in different versions and differs mainly recess sized protrusion and the wedge under the wall mount;

Plastic elements differ low price, thus have good performance

• Aluminum U-shaped profile. A more durable type of product which has greater rigidity and is used where the installation of high requirements. It is better to choose options with drilled holes for fasteners, if they do not, you may have to do this work;

U-shaped baguette is not very convenient to mount, since it is necessary to drill holes

• connecting profile. It is used when it is necessary to connect the two paintings in the premises with a large area. Most often, these products are made of plastic, included are wedges and a decorative cap that hides the seam;

This option is convenient because the bundle includes everything you need

• H-shaped profile. It differs from conventional projection presence through which the elements fastened to the walls is much easier and faster. Articles can be manufactured as of plastic, and aluminum, the first embodiment is cheaper second stronger.

This configuration makes it possible to mount the bearing elements much faster

clip-on fasteners

Variant differs in that it is not necessary to use the glazing beads or harpoons when pulling the web. Baguette made so that it protrusions abut each other and firmly fixed blade. In the scheme below shows such a system in detail.

Clip-on mounting is simple

For this embodiment uses such kinds of moldings:

	wall profile. This type of fastening is used most often is a bar with mounting projection (its size determined offset from the plane of the ceiling) and the locking portion. The web is pushed into the slot a special spatula, and then cut off the excess.
	Ceiling profile for stretch ceiling. This type of product is characterized in that is mounted directly to the ceiling and almost does not take useful space. If you have low ceilings, choose this kind of fixtures, the plane will fall no more with them than 1 centimeter.

This type of profile is best suited for the fabric ceilings, which are almost stretched. If you have this option, then select the clips to secure it.

To secure the web, which is not stretched, it is best to use with clip fasteners

harpoon system

Classic option, which many experts consider the most reliable. Its main advantage lies in the fact that after installation of the perimeter is left slot.

It looks like harpoon method of installation of the tension cloth

Consider the main types of baguettes for suspended ceilings:

	Plastic wall profile. Characterized by a small value, but strength is not very high. The most commonly used for small spaces with strong and smooth walls, where the load is minimal.
	Aluminum wall profile. The most popular among the experts views, since it has high strength and can reliably be fixed even on uneven walls. The design should be the opening of the installation, if they do not, then you have to drill aluminum hands.
	ceiling profile. Used when mounted on a wall is not possible. This type provides a smaller loss of space than wall profiles, so it is often used in apartment buildings with concrete ceilings. Use in this case, the plastic options I do not recommend, they are not very reliable.
	separation profile. His second name - separator, and it is intended to connect two blades, if the width of the room is very big and you need to join two or more items with each other. Assembly mounted to the ceiling and has a complete plug which closes the docking location. Such prints are often used when traversing the columns in the attic rooms and in the construction of complex ceiling systems.
	Buffer. This type of product is used in multi-level ceiling systems. Using it makes a clear line of ceiling projections and create the desired shape.

Tell us about the technology of mounting ceiling harpoon method. on work instruction is shown in a scheme, the steps described below in more detail:

The process of installation of stretch ceiling is simple and clear

	fastened profile. First of all you need a laser level to mark targets and then fix a baguette. By the installation of the concrete made with dowels quick installation and a tree - with the help of screws. If you put a ceiling version, the plane should be flat.
	The cloth is suspended and warms. The work went much faster and easier, ceiling material should be heated using a heat gun. The process is not simple, the room will be very hot.
	Fixed blade angles, The process is as follows: Initially fastens any corner of the room; The web then is put into the opposite corner; The other two are fixed angle. After fixing the corners of the canvas can be further heat up, to simplify further work.
	Tightly tucked around the perimeter. Work is carried out using a special spatula, as in the photo. Harpoon is put neatly prints the entire length, after cooling ceiling will be stretched and will perfectly flat plane. After you put the batten and can stick to the walls of skirting the perimeter.

Output

You know, there are some types of profiles for suspended ceilings, and dealt with the harpoon assembly technology. Videos in this article will help you understand the topic better, and if you have questions - ask in the comments.
