During the repair, many often have a difficult question, what to do first - stretch ceiling or wallpaper?
Let's try to figure out several options for the next steps and begin to carry out our repair work from the leveling of the ceiling installation walls.
First, level, plaster and ground the walls.
If you need any other preparation of the walls for repair, then perform these works.
Then we move on to installing the stretch ceiling. Installation of a stretch ceiling can be made independently or entrust this business to professionals.
On polystyrene or foam plastic ceiling skirting, care should be taken only after the ceiling has been installed. By the way, we recommend that you pay attention to the fabrics for fabric stretch ceiling.

Do not forget about the uneven edges of the walls, which usually appear near the baseboard. They need to be eliminated.
Cloth stretch ceiling is often damaged by a construction spatula, which is used in the leveling of walls. Therefore, the ceiling is recommended to install almost the last.
Although even if you have already pasted wallpaper, you still can not do without the risk of damage to the surface of the canvas. After all, in the preparation of walls, dust is always formed, and if an aluminum baguette is used, traces remain.
When attaching the stretch ceiling in the baguette, then again apply special spatulas. In this case, it becomes possible to damage the wallpaper.
In addition, when installing the ceiling, builders operate at high temperatures. This factor is of no small importance for everything that is inside the room or room.
If the ceiling is installed after wallpapering the wallpaper, you should let the wallpaper dry 3-5 days to avoid blistering and bubbles on the wallpaper.
The exact answer to the question what to do first: stretch ceiling or wallpaper - no. Even professional builders and finishers can not give a single and correct answer to this question.
If you still decided to firstly glue the wallpaper, then protect them during the installation of stretch ceiling with polyethylene or paint tape.
You do not need to firmly believe that you first need to install the stretch ceiling, or first cover the walls with wallpaper.
Both these and other repair options are quite acceptable for the initial stage of the work, and the repair work itself depends on the chosen finish for your house.
Modern suspended ceiling can be mounted absolutely at any stage of repair.
This especially applies to satin, matt and glossy ceilings, but the usual suspended or stretched ceilings usually do not cause any particular trouble.
Subsequently, when the time comes to change the wallpaper again, you do not need to do anything with the stretch ceiling. But there are some complications that arise if the ceiling has been set ahead of the wallpaper.

In such cases, it becomes necessary to close the joints of the stretch ceiling to the wallpaper. After all, the baguette has already been installed.
It's quite easy to cope with this problem, it will be necessary to carefully trim and glue the wallpaper so that their edges fit tightly to the wallpaper.
Or you can buy materials for closing joints - skirting boards or cornices.
