What is a Rack Ceiling?
First of all, it should be noted that the lath ceiling is directly related to the total number of the most alternative options for finishing. Can I install it myself? Of course you can. But only if you do not overestimate your strength. The fact is that in order to install the ceiling lath with your own hands, you will at least need special tools and not any skills of construction that will contribute to the implementation of installation work without errors.
What's so complicated about this process? For a knowledgeable person, nothing. A newcomer will have to deal with a set of corners, hangers, tires, galvanized profiles and main panels. But by and large, installing a rack ceiling by yourself will not cause any special difficulties if you stick to some advice of experienced masters. And in order to not confuse anything, you can follow the sequence of actions and visual examples of the end result in the photo and video of the installation of rack ceilings with your own hands.
But before you start the action, you first need to understand a little the essence of the design itself.
Rack Ceiling Design From a constructive point of view, suspended ceilings, in the final analysis, create a surface that consists of aluminum rails, that is, panels. These racks can be of completely different sizes in width, texture and color, which makes it possible to make a unique design of any room.
Thus, if you want to achieve an almost perfectly flat surface, then in this case, it is desirable to use panels of smaller width. If you need to create a relief, then it is advisable to use wider versions of rails. In addition, insertions of contrasting colors can be used, which will give individuality to the overall design.
Regarding the assembly of this design, it must be said that it is mounted on aluminum or steel guides, which are located at a certain height in a perpendicular position to the rails. Scientifically, they are called traverses with a special profile in the form of denticles or combs, onto which the racks without additional fasteners are attached.
Assembling the rack ceiling
Before installing aluminum ceiling ceilings with your own hands, you must first attach special corners or guides along the perimeter. By the way, they will serve as a decorative decoration of joints between the wall and the ceiling. In addition, it will need a suspension that will hold the traverses, and accordingly, the entire structure of the ceiling.
Please note that in rooms with a small area, for example, such as a standard toilet or bathroom, suspended ceiling ceilings can be installed according to a simplified scheme. Namely, such a suspended ceiling can be fixed on traverses freely lying on the guides, mounted along the whole ceiling perimeter. In other words, in the case where the width of application does not exceed 120 centimeters, it is possible to do without the use of suspensions.
