General concepts of the
siding ceiling As already mentioned, siding is mainly used for exterior finishing works. It was from there that he came inside the premises. The most popular material for interior decoration is vinyl siding. It is similar in its texture to the usual planking board. But unlike it will serve such material for 10-15 years longer, without losing the initial gloss.
Due to its characteristics, siding is perfect for interior finishing works, which are characterized by a high degree of humidity, where, for example, drywall can not simply keep its structure. In addition, the presented finishing material will perfectly fit into the interior of your corridor. Siding allows you to hide the surface drops of 5-7 centimeters!
Materials and tools for mounting
Before you make a ceiling from the siding, you need to take care that you have purchased all the necessary building components, as well as prepared the right tool. Consider that of the materials you will need:
- The main element, of course, is siding.
- Purchase starting profiles, the number of which will depend on the overall perimeter of the ceiling.
- In order to make the crate, you can not do without wooden bars.
- If the ceiling siding will be mounted lamps, then you need to purchase the right amount.
This is all about the necessary building materials. Now you need to take care to prepare the right tool for work. So, you are useful:
- Punch or a powerful drill with a bump;
- Hammer;
- Hacksaw for wood for pruning;
- Level;
- Construction pencil and tape measure;
- Knife stationery and scissors for cutting metal;
- Dowel-nails;
- Self-tapping screws;
- Pliers.
When all of the above is ready, you can start mounting the ceiling from the siding with your own hands.
The process of installing the
ceiling siding If you are sure that you can sew the ceiling yourself with the decorated element of the decor, then we offer you a step-by-step installation algorithm:
- The siding begins with the siding of the ceiling from the fact that the necessary distance from the reference surface is measured,there is a new false ceiling. The distance depends on which built-in lights you have chosen, as well as whether the ceiling will be insulated.
Warning! The minimum distance between the reference surface and the new ceiling should be 4 cm!
- After determining the distance, using a tape measure and a pencil, make a note on the wall. From it, using the level, draw an even line along the entire perimeter of the room. On it, and there will be a fastening of a wooden bar.
- If the walls are concrete, holes are drilled with a perforator, the diameter of which, as a rule, is 6 mm. With the help of dowels-nails fastened beam.
- After you attach the starter profile to the attached bars. You can do it with small nails or self-tapping screws. In principle, if you have a construction stapler available, you can fix the profiles.
Tip! It is recommended to train on unnecessary chunks of the starting profile to make accurate joints, since the quality of this action will determine the overall aesthetics of the ceiling.
- If there are fixtures in your new ceiling, the wiring must be connected to the installation site. During installation of the siding, do not forget to drill round holes in the diameter of the future lighting elements.
- Before mounting the first panel, measure the desired length and cut the strip along it. Both ends of the siding are inserted into the groove of the starting profile. The same pattern is followed by subsequent strips of material.
Warning! The last panel, for sure, will be cut off not only in length, but also in width.
The final stage will be the installation of lighting fixtures. After that, the entire ceiling is wiped with a damp rag, and the construction debris is removed. In order to complete the overall design of the new ceiling, you can build a ceiling skirting along its perimeter.
