Baguette for tension ceiling: functional use

Unfinished and incomplete things interfere, deprive comfort, persistently reminding about his imperfections. This applies to actions, intentions, ideas, actions, including repair. Baget for stretch ceiling gives the completeness and decorative room. Without it look sloppy joints of the walls and the ceiling surface. And without framing the film it is just a cloth, not a part of interior composition.

For suspended ceilings: basic design elements

The ceiling is one of the most important parts of the room to create the interior. It can not move, throw textiles complement flowerpots or planters, if the appearance is not very satisfying. Careful design is becoming reality - and the result can not be correcting.

The most frequent problems of ceilings - surface roughness and the perimeter lines, crumbling plaster, sutures stand out... All these drawbacks are more noticeable when the artificial light. There is a way that solves the problems mentioned above - is the installation of stretch ceiling.

The very title indicated by the core technology of stretch ceiling device. It consists of a frame made of sections and the web which is stretched. Quite often called profiles baguettes. This double definition somewhat justified. Baguette - a profiled or smooth strip. It has similarities with a strap.

Of special profiles on the walls or on the ceiling frame is performed. Baguettes have a form that allows them to start in the fabric and with additional elements firmly fix it. The web may be made of PVC or of a synthetic fabric with various additives that provide strength and decorativeness.

Baguettes stretch ceiling can also be made of different materials. This is mainly metal products and PVC. Profiles have different technical and operational characteristics, and the price difference.

Features aluminum baguette for tension ceiling

Metal moldings for ceilings, made of aluminum. This lightweight and durable metal mount allows reliable designs. Aluminum moldings for ceilings have the following positive features:

• metal resistant to corrosion;
• the frame can withstand heavy loads;
• products do not deform over time;
• do not react to temperature changes;
• baguettes have an affordable price.

Depending on the place of fastening metal sections are divided into three types:

• walling;

• ceiling;
• universal.

There is also a method of fixing the division of the tension of the web. Allocate harpoon, wedge and clip-on system. Some of them require the use of additional elements. When the harpoon system of fixing to the web are welded around the perimeter of the specific loop. When the wedge method is applied bead, which performs the function of the wedge. Clip-on method is characterized by placing one of the planes of the profile at an obtuse angle relative to the other. This situation allows snap canvas.

If you try to compare the price of aluminum baguettes for suspended ceilings with profiles cost of plastic, the latter is much lower. In general, the price of metal species with excellent performance is quite acceptable. For example, a baguette with harpoon system can be purchased for 220 rubles apiece (3.5 m). Profile of "floating" ceiling cost 310-350 rubles.

Important!Profile of aluminum is not recommended to strengthen the surfaces with significant unevenness: A large gap is formed between the wall and the ceiling. If the decision regarding the installation of baguettes made, defects must be eliminated.

PVC Moldings for ceilings: advantages and disadvantages

It should be noted that the plastic moldings for a long time were not as popular as the metal. Most likely, it triggered stereotype: all metal stronger. Yes, and they appeared much later, when many experts have mastered the skill of performing their carcasses aluminum. Plastic profiles are also characterized by a sufficient endurance.

Plastic moldings on the suspended ceiling can be fixed under the same standard terms - at the upper part of the walls and the ceiling. As for the direct process of the wall mount, then baguettes data there are two indisputable advantages compared to metal:

• no need to pre-drill the holes for screws plastic;
• flexibility of the material allows to fit snugly to the wall surface, repeating existing lines.

Moldings made of plastic is much easier. This greatly simplifies their transportation, especially if large amounts of purchased. Most often, they have a harpoon blade mounting system, which is the most reliable method of fixation.

It should be noted that designed for ceilings, plastic moldings (AR) have a height of only 10 mm, which makes it possible to preserve the dimensions of the room.

Dimensions baguettes for stretch ceiling wall use (AM) have a height of up to 30 mm. Both embodiments of the profile frame suitable for mounting indoors to 50 m².

As for the disadvantages of baguettes made of plastic, then they should include the need to make frequent step in fixing to the wall (otherwise high load profile will deviate from the surface), and the possibility cracking. Although the last flaw is characteristic of poor quality products. A small price and good performance make plastic profile more and more popular.

Types baguettes for two-level stretch ceilings

Improving models of suspended ceilings and active design improvement have led to the emergence of two-tier structures. They look interested, are diverse, largely decorate the interior. Quite often, these options are not only complement the design, but also hides defects ceiling. With the help of paintings, arranged in two tiers, you can hide the differences floors, the difference in level between the different parts of the room, visually increase or decrease the height of the room.

To create a two-level designs requires a special wall or ceiling profile. The amount of such baguettes (height and width) larger than the conventional parameters, intended for a single web. The main embodiments of articles to create a duplex scaffolds are profiles and the PCB PP. Molding PP 7.5 provides staggered tensioning webs, creating between them a distance equal to 75 mm.

Profile PCB used to create complex geometric designs where it is necessary to perform a curvilinear shape. The bending radius can reach 25-35 cm. This involves the creation of a baguette light: it has a groove where the LED lamp is inserted.

Useful advice! If there is no option to make the necessary line or shape, prints can be ordered, and as a separate element, and the entire construct among the finished products.

Price baguettes for stretch ceiling in two levels of 350-400 rubles. for a unit. Made-to-order options are priced 30-40% higher. Ready packages for geometrically complex scaffolds can cost between 10 to 35 thousand. rub.

What is a decorative ceiling molding and how it is used

Earlier in the article it was a baguette, which are used for ceilings skeletons. Next - a baguette as a decorative strip used in the design of suspended ceilings. If the previous information to apply the term "baguette-profile", then in the subsequent material will be Speaking about baguette-baseboard.

What is the functionality of the baguettes under the suspended ceiling? They allow you to perform several tasks:

1. Hide minor imperfections. not visible jagged edges of wallpaper, uneven application of the paint on the wall beneath them (which is almost inevitable in the walls and ceiling of the joint).
2. Close the gap between the web of stretch ceiling and wall. Even with the perfect fitting frame they occur.
3. Properly decorate corners in terms of aesthetics and psychology. Smooth, pleasant line corner pieces premises create a positive attitude and a sense of comfort.

There are different kinds of moldings for ceilings. Moldings are classified by quality used for the manufacture of materials by the features of forms that perform additional functions (backlight mounted therein). Considerable importance is also the decoration. Baguettes are selected according to size, color and shape of the ceiling, as well as the selected style of interior room as a whole.

Types of material for baguettes Ceiling

The most common material for the production of foam moldings is - or rather, expanded polystyrene. Price baguettes for suspended ceilings made of this material is low, that is what ensures their popularity more. In addition to low cost, baguettes have more number of advantages:

1. The material is easily cut. Even after the use of conventional paper cutter on the cut line is obtained even without chipping and spalling.
2. Low weight baguettes. Lightweight strap is easy to fix.
3. For fixing, you can use any glue. Exceptions are formulations with acetone (acetone dissolves polystyrene).
4. Presentable appearance. When visual perception baguettes have a great resemblance to the elements of stucco.

Functionality, the main types of point of attachment and a method for fixing the fabric. Typical dimensions of the profiles. "Knauf" products.

Less than foam, but also quite popular moldings made of polyurethane. They are more dense, hard and heavy. They are often used in rooms with high humidity - they are totally resistant to thermal shock and waterproof. Another indisputable positive quality is the low degree of combustibility. Upon termination of the fire source polyurethane fades. This property provides flame-retardant additives in the composition of the plastic.

Another type of baguettes for suspended ceilings are plaster strips. Material expensive, it is more commonly used in the performance of high-end repairs. High aesthetic quality - the main advantage. Technical installation side is rather complicated: baguettes heavy, broken, poorly tolerate exposure to water.

Useful advice!In deciding to use plaster moldings, stands to pick up strips the size of which will allow to reduce to a minimum the need for cutting.

baguettes options for stretch ceiling with lighting

From classical artificial lighting when the chandelier is located in the central part of the ceiling, now refuse to many. Mounted side lamps, LED Strip Light is used. There are interesting options for mounting tape around the perimeter of the room, able to create the effect of "floating" ceiling, illuminating the space between the blades in the two-tier structure, and so on. D.

In the photo baguettes for suspended ceilings on the Internet you can find a lot of ways to highlight. Streams of light can not just come out from under the baseboards, falling on the wall (the effect of "floating" ceiling), but also to perform the light path of the ceiling plane. Special originality have curly glowing lines.

It exists as metal profiles having a shape that allows to mount LED strips and skirting boards of foam, polyurethane and PVC. To be able to set the backlight, has undergone structural changes the main type of baguette: chute appeared on its surface, which is placed and LED strip.

Using the baseboard itself adds to the aesthetics of the ceiling design. Supplemented backlit baguettes can significantly change the appearance of the inner rooms. Given that certain types of consumables are quite affordable prices and the very technique not It requires a high level of professionalism, baguettes with light - a unique opportunity to create a unique interior.

Installation of moldings for ceilings, their own hands

Theoretically stick baguettes easy. In practice, the result was not sorry, you must have a certain set of tools and accessories:

• miter box - a special tool that allows you to cut the workpiece at different angles;
• hacksaw blade or construction (for cutting strips);
• brush;
• spatula (it is convenient to collect the extra drop of glue under the baguette);
• pure natural fabrics (for removing adhesive residue).

Before you glue the moldings on the suspended ceiling, make sure that bought the right glue. At this consumables is not worth saving, especially if a baguette made of plastic.

Important! Glued baseboard is necessary not to the canvas and the wall. Any adhesive composition of the pulls. It is impossible to predict how to behave in contact with the adhesive web of PVC. Experiments with stretched film misplaced.

Apply glue only need on the other side of the baguette, which will be applied to the wall. Produce fixing plinth is necessary from the corners. Therefore, before you mount a baguette for suspended ceilings, it is necessary to perform cutting and prepare not only the starting angle, but also all the others. Then required with the resulting preform. If the dock is large enough, you can apply the adhesive and apply to the wall. For a more lasting coupling surfaces should hold a baguette for 40 seconds.

You can not cut corners and buy ready-made items. In this case, the installation is easier at first glance. The fact that such an option has two compounds in the area of ​​each corner. If visually they will stand out, it will become even more noticeable defect than an imperfect joint angle.

How to choose a baguette ceiling for suspended ceilings

By what criteria to choose a baguette for a stretch ceiling? First of all, we should be guided by taste and style in which the decorated room. It is also important financial issue. Do not be upset if enough money only for the foam version.

It is necessary to look at the form, and give the baguette desired color is easy. The foam can be easily colored. If you consider that almost no mechanical effects baseboard does not feel, coating lasts a long time without losing the aesthetic.

An important indicator is the size. Quite often, it is the value of the plinth, especially width, affects the perception of room size. If the room is large and the ceiling is high, limit the size is not necessary. In a small room with a wide baguette will seem heavy, it visually reduces the size of the room.

It is worth to see the photo baguettes in the ceiling on the Internet. Offers designers ceiling composition will help to understand the combinations of colors and shades, and tell us how to issue the original suspended ceiling.

For areas larger sizes necessary to acquire the maximum strip length. This will reduce the number of joints. If preference is given to polyurethane products, there is, on the contrary, it is better to buy a short baguettes. Stick long plastic strips rather difficult. To avoid slipping, you must keep a long baguette, pressing against the wall.

Baguette for tension ceiling: how to choose the glue to fix

Q adhesive to ensure a good result is no less important than the manufacturing material and shape of the baguettes. Exactly cut, but offset in the process of gluing the joints - often one of the allowed error. The reason most often is not conforming to the adhesive composition.

As for the bonding of baguettes, then raise the question of savings does not make sense. You can buy an expensive glue, but this is not necessary, as there are several options checked a large number of people for a long time. Copes with its task liquid nails, glue "Dragon", especially when fixing the foam strips. compositions "Titan" and "Moment" are more effective for polyurethane.

If you carefully consider the picture ceiling baguettes for suspended ceilings, even with repeated increase in image defects can not be found. This, of course, because of the quality and professionalism of the adhesive composition design creators.

Many wonder, and some are even experimenting whether to glue on plaster moldings. Without going into the intricacies of the process, it is possible. But the adhesive is applied to only one side. And adjust the thickness of the layer of putty is very difficult. But be prepared based adhesive putty - quite acceptable. For this to mix 1 part PVA glue and putty finishing portion 4, add water under continuous stirring, bringing the composition to a consistency of sour cream. Give it to stand for 10-15 minutes.

Important! Use a similar adhesive composition is necessary for 1-1.5 hours.

When the glue wallpaper to a stretch ceiling or after its installation

Looking recommendations on fixing baguettes, the answer to the question of what makes forward - ceilings or wallpaper can not be found. The implication is that it all depends on the type of wallpaper. To get the most accurate answer, it is worth considering a few situations.

Modern wallpaper basically have a rather voluminous texture. It is necessary to cover the walls with wallpaper, and then mount the ceiling. This sequence is due to the fact that the performance of repair work after pulling the fabric creates the conditions under which the film is easy to damage the ceiling. Then it is necessary to glue the plinth to cover the gap between the ceiling and the walls and the roughness of the upper cut-off wallpaper. Theoretically, it is logical. And how, in practice, will appear glued to the convex Wallpaper moldings?

Option Two. Wallpaper paper, thin, smooth. The walls are covered with mounted ceiling, then glued baseboard. What will be the result in this case?

Third situation. Tensioned ceiling, attached plinth, glued wallpaper. Work is carried out carefully and cautiously. The main thing - the right to cut off the top edge of wallpaper, that is to remove the excess. Be sure to use a special knife.

Fixed moldings for curtains for suspended ceilings (photo is clearly demonstrated) appear to be sticked on top. To provide such an effect can be only one way: to cut the tapestry is so perfect, that does not remain even a hint of roughness. On what outcome can be expected?

Returning to the beginning, it should be stated that the answer to the question about the performance of works there is no consistency. Although many experts recommend pulling the ceiling after wallpapering. But what about the baseboard?

As with his own hands to fix the suspended ceiling of the cut

Mechanical damage of a stretch ceiling - a common phenomenon. The causes of this defect:

• damage spatula during adhesion to moldings ceiling;
• hit with arrows, darts, or other similar objects in the children's games;
• careless movement of furniture;
• installation or removal of window designs.

These are the most common causes, there may be other, due to the appointment of the room where the suspended ceiling.

Attention!Repaired independently cut the tension fabric can not be so that it was not noticeable.

How to seal the hole in the tension ceiling with his hands? Here can help the construction tape. They can fix a cut equal to 12 cm. It should be done carefully by pulling the edge of fabric at the break. You can use plastic cups: Cut one strip-clamps width of about 1 cm, and apply superglue to seal the defect.

Such events allow small cuts do not turn into a huge hole. If there are no claims to the blade aesthetics after his "treatment", so you can leave. If you wish to have the perfect ceiling is necessary to address to experts. They can use several types of restorations:

1. Apply the patch from the inside. If the edges are connected accurately, the seam is virtually imperceptible.
2. If the damage is in a corner or close near baguette possible partial dismantling of the web, an additional heating and stretching it.

To remedy the defect, it is recommended to apply to the installers of the ceiling.

how remove the suspended ceiling with his hands and put back

When self-installing dismantling stretch ceiling will not cause problems. But if the construction was carried out by experts, there will be difficulties. First of all, you must understand what a baguette mounting tension ceiling, ie the profile. The fact is that there are options for fixing, in which the web is removed without damage impossible.

Useful advice! If the installation is carried out by experts of the tension cloth, be sure to ask which profile is applied, whether, if necessary, dismantling is possible.

Starting with the removal of the ceiling should extract the insert, which is located between the wall and the ceiling. The junction is difficult to find, since the element is hidden. Should look in the corner. Then the most difficult - to remove the blade. This should be done with utmost care. It is better to have an assistant, which will warm up the film with a heat gun. This should be done necessarily, or can not do without damage fabric.

If the ceiling has a rectangular shape, removing the canvas better angle. Portions of a cold should not touch. If used wedge system, you need to pull out glazing beads. When Harpoon mounting method is required to remove the canvas gently, that is to release the film. "Clips" need to decompress, gradually pulling the canvas.

Above contains information about how to remove a part of the stretch ceiling. Set back and return the structure to its former charm can be the same method that was used when mounting the ceiling. Installation and removal is only possible when using high-quality materials and subject to execution technologies.

In the construction of a stretch ceiling from the technical point of view, a baguette plays not a major role. But if disparagingly take his choice, and fixing, it is possible to nullify all the efforts earlier efforts and money spent. Sloppy joints and rough corners will dominate, reducing the aesthetics of the ceiling even in an ideal tension of the web.
