The ceiling of gypsum board with backlighting is quite versatile. The surface of such building material as gypsum board is almost ideal. In addition, it is known that the material is flexible, and this makes it possible to create the most unusual forms for designers. Thanks to this you can make the ceiling two-level. Even a not too experienced master is able to make the ceiling from gypsum board with the backlighting. Before you get started, you need to make a plan and detail all the details of the design. If the area of your housing is large and the ceilings are high enough, then you can mount multi-level ceilings. Usually they first make a sketch. After that, the necessary materials are calculated. As a rule it is sheets of gypsum board, profiles, fasteners, etc.

Mounting technology
Installation of a single-level ceiling is quite simple. It is more difficult to install LED ceiling lighting from gypsum board. Using the building or laser level, a zero level or zero point is set along the perimeter. On the marking lines, the guide profiles are attached. With the help of suspensions racks are mounted. With the help of crab anchors for strength, in addition the structure is strengthened by longitudinal profiles. To further strengthen the structure, it is possible to replicate the longitudinal profiles with suspensions. Before fixing sheets of gypsum board, you should conduct wiring for future illumination on top of the frame.
To profiles with the help of self-tapping, sheets of gypsum board are mounted. Hats of self-tapping screws must be completely drowned. Next, the gaps between the sheets shpaklyuyutsya.after the putty hardens the surface is sanded. Diode illumination of the ceiling from gypsum board for a single-level ceiling is simply mounted. First of all, for the lamps you need to make a marking and cut through the corresponding holes. There are such circumstances in which the holes are cut after mounting the drywall sheets to the right place. In this case, you need to be very careful. In the process of cutting holes, the wiring can be damaged.

The installation of lighting suspended ceilings from gypsum board has its own peculiarity. The cable must be routed exclusively in specialized sleeves or cable ducts. It is strictly prohibited to place the cables in profiles or on top of them. To ensure that the cable does not become unplugged during use, it is not allowed to place cables on sharp edges. The sleeve itself must be airtight. Otherwise, if there is moisture, a short circuit may occur. Moisture can be caused by unforeseen circumstances, for example due to flooding by a neighbor from above.
If you have mounted a multi-level ceiling, you can mount a hidden ceiling lighting from gypsum board. In any case, if there is a danger of high humidity or you are not quite sure about your neighbor who lives from above, you need to take care of additional protection measures. The wiring must be hidden in the junction boxes. When selecting a cable, consider the total load power. It is better to place the switch at a level of 100 mm from the floor, and it is important that it disconnects not the zero but the phase. In the future, this is useful when replacing LEDs or light bulbs. We offer photo of a ceiling made of gypsum cardboard with backlight .
