We are perfectly justified in assuming that our home is not only a fortress, but also a place where you can relax and relax after the hardest working day.
They differ not only in characterraw materials used for their production, but also by their functional properties, not to mention the price. Therefore, it is not surprising that the choice of materials for repair sometimes turns into sophisticated torture. What is it worth only mounting the stretch ceiling to the ceiling, about which most people just do not know!
If you intend to conduct this operationyourself, you will have to accept the fact that you just can not do with typical tools. So, it is necessary to buy a special spatula and a heat gun, without which the attachment of the stretch ceiling to the ceiling is simply not feasible.
However, not everything is so scary:stepladder, drill with a set of drills, dowels, high-quality construction level, as well as a knife - are found in almost every home. In addition, we recommend preparing a vacuum cleaner, masking tape, as well as a sufficient amount of plastic film, which you will need to hide furniture.
In the case when the room is residential,mounting the stretch ceiling to the ceiling is better not to start without prior preparation. To do this, you need to cover all the furniture with a film (remember, we talked about it), protect the floor with wrapping paper or with the same film, paying special attention to the areas directly by the walls.
Any attachment of the stretch ceiling to the ceiling begins with the installation of a strong and lightweight frame, which is mounted along the perimeter of the walls of the room. In another way it is called baguette.
For this you need to know whether the "native"ceiling some irregularities. If you have glued wallpaper in the room, you may know about the difference in height between the different ends of the room. Having finally approved the lowest point of the ceiling, we take this value as the level at which the baguette will be attached.
Installation is carried out using dowels. Of course, this should be done as smoothly as possible, constantly checking with the level indicators.
But now the fun begins.First you need to gently straighten the canvas, temporarily tucking its edges for the baguette. To do this, use a spatula. Then the canvas is temporarily fixed with clips, which must be purchased in advance.
After that, the ceiling mount tensionThe ceiling enters the most crucial phase. It is necessary as much as possible to secure the fabric in the corners, preventing the formation of wrinkles. If everything is done successfully, you can begin to fasten the decorative strip, at the same time cutting off the excess fabric.
Having finished with this difficult and dreary affair, you can begin to warm the entire ceiling with a heat gun. Residual wrinkles will stretch, the coating will be perfectly smooth.
Of course, there are other types of mounting stretch ceilings (including without the use of a heat gun), but they all require deep professional knowledge and considerable experience.
