In detail: DIY repair of the ceiling in the room from a real master for the site my.housecope.com.
Not everyone has the means to hire a construction team to do the renovation. In addition, people who are not always found on the ad will really do everything to their conscience. If you do not need a global remodeling of the premises, you can make cosmetic repairs yourself. This is a very fun and easy process. The main thing is to purchase everything you need, observe the phased work, do everything carefully and with heart.
Here's what you need to purchase before redecorating:
Spatulas - wide and narrow;
Primer;
Putty (dry or ready-made);
Wallpaper;
Ceiling tiles and glue for them;
Flat brush, rag;
Skirting boards for floors and ceilings;
Floor covering (linoleum, laminate);
Roller with a long handle;
Cuvette;
Glue for linoleum (if you lay it);
Film, scotch tape for covering furniture.
Move furniture out to make space. Place the things from the closets in large bags, bags and also transfer them to another room. If the cabinet is heavy, there is no way to turn it over to another room, disassemble it by carefully folding the components. If this method does not suit you either, move the cabinet away from the wall, cover it with a wide cellophane film on all sides, secure it with a stapler or tape.
After all unnecessary has been removed from the room, proceed to dismantling. Tear off the old skirting boards first. If they are made of wood, it is convenient to remove them with a nailer. If these are plastic skirting boards on screws, a screwdriver or screwdriver will help.
Now you need to remove the old wallpaper. Starting from the bottom of the wall, pick them up with a spatula and tear them off. If in some places they are glued "conscientiously", soak a roller in hot or warm water, walk it over the old wallpaper. Wait 10 minutes and you can easily peel off the paper. You can use a special tool that also moistens the wallpaper, and then removes them without problems.

If this phrase scared you before, now you will see how easy and interesting it is to do. Pour the required amount of primer into a cuvette, dip a roller into it, remove excess liquid product. Cover part of the wall with it, and then all the walls in the room.
The primer dries quickly. Within an hour you can start filling the walls. The putty can be bought ready-made - soft, in sealed plastic bags. This method is suitable for those who do not have a construction mixer, but have a car, since it is unrealistic to carry or carry such a large amount of heavy putty, and you will need a lot of it.
Can be purchased dry in paper bags. In this case, you pour some of it into a bucket, add water according to the instructions and mix with a construction mixer. If not, dilute the product in small amounts and mix with a spatula.
Let the putty brew a little and proceed to the next stage of work. Align the walls as follows: scoop up a putty with a small spatula, put it on a large one. Fill the entire blade of a large spatula with the product, attach it to the wall, spread the mass evenly over its surface. Do this until the section of the wall is flat.
Will tell you how to carry out these works and make repairs with your own hands, video. It clearly shows how to level, plaster the wall.
Watch a video lesson about plastering walls with your own hands:
VIDEO After all the walls in the room are flat, let the putty dry for 24 hours.If cracks appear at this time, moisten them with water, go over these places with a spatula. After a day, you can start gluing the wallpaper.
While the walls are dry, redecorate the ceiling. The easiest way is to cover it with PVC panels. Work begins from the center, having previously drawn a straight line that divides the ceiling exactly in half.
Apply adhesive around the perimeter and center of the back of the tile, and place one side of the panel against the marked line. Then apply glue to the second panel, secure next to it so that the seam is minimal. If you are doing cheap DIY repairs alone, it is more convenient to first apply glue to 4 × 5 tiles, and then fix them to the ceiling.
PVC ceiling tiles are easy to cut, so when you reach the wall, when you see that you need a small piece, mark which one and cut the tile with a construction knife. The ceiling tiles are also cut off, which must be fixed near the window and on the opposite side from it. Cover the tile joints with a sealant of a suitable color. After the ceiling is renewed, you can paint the tiles with latex or water-based paint, then it will absorb less dust, and the white tiles will retain their brilliant appearance for a long time.

Before gluing the wallpaper, you need to purchase it. Take with a small margin so that you do not have to buy. If you want to buy, for example, vinyl wallpaper with a pattern, do not forget that it will have to be "customized". Therefore, the consumption of wall material will increase slightly.
The range of wallpapers is now very large. Before you buy wallpaper, you can look at samples on the Internet. Decide what you want to buy vinyl, non-woven wallpaper, regular paper or maybe paintable. Wallpaper glue corresponds to each type of wall material, there is also a universal one designed for several types of wallpaper.
After you bought the wallpaper, measure the height of the wall from ceiling to floor with a tape measure. Do not forget that you need to glue the wallpaper from the window to the right .
Set aside the resulting value on the wallpaper, cut it off. Dilute the glue according to the instructions, apply it with a brush to the back of the wallpaper. If they are dense, it is recommended to coat the part of the wall with glue on which you will attach the prepared canvas.
Making redecoration in the room with your own hands, it is more convenient to glue the wallpaper together. If this is not possible, place a table or ladder close to the wall. Attention, these items must be serviceable, stable, stand firmly on the floor, do not swing. Otherwise, it can lead to injury and bad mood, which will deteriorate after inaccurately pasted wallpaper!
Attach the top of the wallpaper to the top of the wall, and go over the area with a dry, soft cloth. When you have glued the top of the wallpaper, use a cloth to gently press it against the middle of the wall, then glue the wallpaper from the middle downwards at a 45 degree angle. Imagine that you first draw the trunk, and then the branches of the spruce, these are the movements you should get. After you have glued the wallpaper to the top of the wall, stick it to the middle and then to the bottom. Then measure and cut the second wallpaper. If they are patterned, be sure to choose the right one. Glue this part of the wallpaper in the same way.
Finish decorating all walls in the same way. Particular attention is paid to the docking points. It is best to apply the edges of the wallpaper end-to-end rather than overlapping. Then the seams will not be visible. If the joints are not glued well enough, go over them with a special joint glue.
In places where there are sockets and switches: turn off the voltage in the 220 network and remove the cases of sockets and switches, after gluing the wallpaper, mount them back.
If you have parquet, boards in good condition, but the old varnish is already uneven, it is advisable to loop it.It is quite difficult to do this with a manual cycle, so you can buy an automatic one or rent it. After the parquet has been cleaned of old varnish, it must be thoroughly vacuumed. Then use a piece of paint netting to run over the planks in the direction of the pile, this will make the parquet look better.
It is advisable to cover it with a water-based varnish. It is odorless, not as harmful as synthetic and dries quickly. Apply the first coat, let dry for 40 minutes, then cover the floor with a second coat of varnish. It will dry within four hours, after which the parquet needs to be varnished a third time.
If you do not have the ability to scrape the floor, and professional equipment is expensive, then laying laminate flooring would be an excellent option. If the old base is flat, you can lay the laminate without removing it. Read more about this procedure in the article: How to lay laminate flooring.
If you are doing Khrushchev repairs with your own hands, you want to save money, you can lay linoleum on the floor. To do this, roll it out, put it with the wrong side up, let it rest, then apply glue, turn it over and stick it to the base. If the floor is uneven, you can use a hard backing such as plywood.
When the wallpaper is completely dry, cover the top with a ceiling plinth. To do this, apply glue for PVC tiles to the wrong side of it, attach to the desired place and hold for 10-15 seconds. After you have glued the first one, proceed to the second one.
In the wall part of the floor plinth, you will remove the wires, screw it onto the screws. Then slide on the top of the plastic skirting board.

How does the renovation of any room begin? Of course, with the repair of the ceiling. How to repair the ceiling in an apartment with your own hands will be discussed in this article.
The ceiling needs to be repaired every 10 years, since during this time more than one layer of water-based paint or lime accumulates on it. Over time, it begins to fall off, and small cracks appear. Also, repairs may be required if you find that the joints of the ceiling tiles are uneven or the seams are too visible.
Many people mistakenly believe that it is easier to make the ceiling hinged, then repair work will not be needed. In fact, it is better to continue whitening it or wallpapering it, so it will breathe, dust will not accumulate on it, and this finishing method is much cheaper than any other.
Next, you need to remove the previous coatings. This can be: lime, paint, wallpaper, and so on. This work is simple, but laborious and requires additional means of protection.
You can remove previous coatings in different ways, depending on their composition.
The paint is washed off with special means, lime - with water, wallpaper - first torn off, then soaked with water.
Foam tiles from the ceiling can be easily removed with a metal trowel. In order for the ceiling to be repaired well, it must be cleaned to the ground.
It is important to understand that there are cheap paints and high quality expensive ones.
To remove cheap water-based paint, just soak it with water.
Algorithm of actions:
Wet the paint 1 time with hot water at a temperature of 60-80 degrees. To do this, you can use a regular paint roller with a long bristle, a paintbrush or a brush;
Wait 10-15 minutes;
Re-wet the paint with hot water of the same temperature;
Using a steel trowel, remove the soggy layer of water-based paint.
In the process of performing such work, small scratches may appear on the ceiling, therefore, after removing the old paint, the ceiling will need to be putty.
1.painting roller;
It is important to know that high-quality expensive water-based paints are not afraid of water. Therefore, such paint can be removed only with sandpaper and it will be difficult to do this. She skins very badly.
In such a situation, it is recommended to apply a good primer, and in a day a new coat of paint. Of course, this option can be considered in the case of cosmetic repairs, when there is no serious damage to the ceiling.
It is always recommended to use a coat of primer after cleaning the ceiling.
Any type of use is allowed in the apartments. The main function of the primer is to create a reinforcing protective layer through deep penetration into the treated surface. This saves any subsequent material applied over it.
How cleaning and priming the ceiling looks like in practice, see the video:

Further, repair work is built on the basis of what you need. If you plan to level the ceiling, then do it with a plaster mixture or plaster. But before leveling, be sure to prime the ceiling, as mentioned earlier. This will provide better grip.
Take your choice of tools seriously. It is not worth saving, but it is better to purchase high-quality spatulas and trowels, because the final result of your work will depend on this.
1.trowel;
Dilute the dry plaster mixture with water according to the instructions on the package and mix well. For a more thorough mixing, you can use a slow-speed drill with a mixer attachment.

After applying each layer, the surface is left to dry for a day.
The putty is used for finishing the ceiling. It is used after rough leveling of large cracks, irregularities, depressions and surface drops with plaster. The same rule works here as with plaster - after applying each layer, a day must pass before applying the next one.
After the filler has dried, the ceiling can be sanded to a perfect shine.
Types of putty according to the degree of readiness:
There are dry putties. They are sold packaged in bags. They must first be diluted with water and mixed;
Ready-made putties, which are usually sold in buckets. As mentioned earlier, we recommend using ready-made putties, because they are easy to use.
It is advisable to use a polymer putty for painting. She has the longest "life time", i.e. after application, it can be stretched for a longer time, which means that it is possible to work out and level the entire surface thoroughly before the composition begins to dry. It also has a very fine grind, which will have a positive effect on finishing surface cleaning.
The putty is chosen relative to the base on which it will be applied.Consultants of hardware stores will also help you in the selection.

After finishing the plastering, the ceiling must be covered again with a layer of reinforcing primer. The application must be uniform over the entire surface. Use a paint roller for this, and a brush for hard-to-reach places. When covering highly absorbent surfaces, it may be necessary to apply multiple coats. After applying the primer, the consumption of subsequent materials, as noted earlier, will be greatly reduced.
After the plaster has dried, you can whitewash the ceiling, paint or wallpaper.

If you have difficulties with the selection of paint, then you can find out which paint to choose for walls and ceilings from our article.
After such a thorough renovation, the ceiling will be smooth and beautiful. The next repair will be required no earlier than in 10 years.

Departing from the surface of the wall about 15-20 cm, it is necessary to put the markings on which the guide will be based. Duplicate the mark on the other end of the surface, then draw a line between the marked points using the paint cord.
Having retreated from the planned line 1.25 meters, we duplicate the first step.
After the markup is applied, slots are made in which the fasteners will be located.
Then, using self-tapping screws, we attach the guides to the floor. Using a level, we control the location of the guides - horizontally and at the same level. If the need arises, we tighten or unscrew the self-tapping screws to adjust the desired height.
After aligning the guides, fix them with a thick plaster mortar and leave to dry completely.
Further, the space between the guides is filled with a plaster mixture, and the entire surface is leveled according to the guiding metal rule.

finishing putty Satengips;
primer mix Betonkontakt;

narrow spatula;
wide spatula;
container for kneading.
If there are slight irregularities or differences in height after the previous stage, two or three coats of coarse putty are applied. Such a putty has less shrinkage, and in thickness it can be up to 5 cm. In order to remove excess, as well as level the surface, it is worth using a spatula or a rule.
A painting net is applied on top of the previous layer. It will provide the necessary reinforcement, as well as add strength to the entire surface. Using a wide spatula, press the mesh into the mixture to fix it.
If the overlap is quite even, then you can simply apply Satengips finishing putty. Using a spatula, apply a layer to the surface and remove the excess. For greater strength, you can strengthen the layer with a reinforced mesh.
After the applied layer has completely dried, we apply a finishing layer of putty and level the surface as carefully as possible.
We prepare the surface and dilute the adhesive mixture.
We cut off the required length of the web from the total roll, taking into account the pattern on the adjacent canvases.
We lay out the canvases on the floor with the pattern down and apply the mixture to the entire surface.
While the glue is absorbed into the wallpaper, we coat the ceiling surface with it.
Having folded the wallpaper with an accordion, we apply the canvas to the ceiling and lay it out.
Using a roller we level the wallpaper, while trying to get rid of air bubbles. We remove all unnecessary with a rag.
The remaining panels are attached according to the same system, you just need to monitor the coincidence of the pattern. The wallpaper should dry indoors within 7 days.

Renovation of ceilings in an apartment is an important undertaking.Let's figure out how to do it yourself - below you will find a detailed description of the work that is required when restoring a ceiling of any type.
A variety of original design ideas, an abundance of modern materials and interior styles make it possible to mount almost any ceiling structure in your home. Now in the apartments you can see both multi-tiered complex ceilings and truly simple surfaces, the arrangement of which requires minimal financial investment. The most common are the following ceiling options:
All these surfaces have their own disadvantages and operational advantages, they differ from each other in many design and other features. The volume of labor costs required to restore the ceilings in the apartment, as well as the cost of the repair itself, depends on them.
Restoration of the ceiling in the apartment
A home craftsman, accustomed to doing everything with his own hands, can cope with any ceiling surface without much difficulty. He only needs to deal with the nuances of a particular technological process in order to perform high-quality repairs at minimal cost.
Full or partial restoration of ceiling structures is carried out according to different schemes (it all depends on the type of ceilings). In this case, a number of operations must be performed without fail, regardless of which surface you have to repair. These procedures usually include cleaning the ceiling, leveling and priming it, restoring seams and gaps, and some other do-it-yourself work.

Removing the old coating from the ceiling structure should be done as carefully as possible. If the ceiling has been plastered with a lime-based mixture, whitewashed or pasted over with wallpaper, it is not difficult to clean it. You need to purchase a paint roller, immerse it in warm water, squeeze it slightly and then roll a part of the ceiling surface with this simple tool. Moreover, the first passes should be done lightly, pressing the roller stronger and stronger with each subsequent rolling.
This processing of the ceiling must be done until you see that the instrument is dry. After that, wet the roller again with water and move on to the next area of the surface. Therefore, it is recommended to treat 2–3 square meters of ceiling and immediately start cleaning this small piece using a normal trowel. With its help, you can easily clean any old coating, be it plaster, wallpaper or whitewash, to putty or concrete base.
If there is an "ancient" putty layer under the finish, it must be checked for adhesion strength. Just try to peel off the putty with a spatula. If it flakes and crumbles, you will have to completely remove it. And then apply a fresh putty coat. When the old putty is held firmly, you can leave it alone and repair the ceiling on the existing coating.
The surfaces on which the polystyrene tiles or decorative elements are mounted are best cleaned with a spatula with a high hardness blade made of steel. It removes both old finish and used adhesive well. Particles of glue must be removed completely, otherwise do-it-yourself repairs will not bring the expected results.
Surface cleaning with a trowel with a hard blade
Surfaces painted with water based paint or oil paint are most difficult to clean. In this case, the old coating is removed chemically or mechanically.
For chemical cleaning of water-based paint, a special remover is used. It is sold in any hardware store. You will need to saturate the old coating with this composition, wait 10-12 hours (during this time, the paint will soften well) and then remove the unnecessary layer.
The mechanical method of removing paint involves the use of sandpaper or a spatula. The process will take a long time, the operation is considered very time consuming. But it will have to be brought to the end, achieving the ideal cleanliness of the ceiling surface.
As you yourself understand, there is no need to clean the ceiling surface when you are dealing with a room where the builders have just completed repairs. In this case, there is simply no old coating. You immediately need to move on to the procedures for sealing cracks and priming the surface.
If you need to do the repair of tension or suspended structures with your own hands, you need to dismantle and disassemble them. In this case, all work should be done as carefully as possible so as not to damage the product. Then you can repair the disassembled ceiling in the apartment, replace its individual elements, and so on.

After removing the old coating with your own hands, you can start filling all the gap and joints with a gypsum or plaster composition (it is advisable to use ready-made mixtures), and then priming. The ceiling is treated with a deep primer, which perfectly strengthens the substrate and provides a good adhesion rate. The primer is applied with a brush or paint roller.
The next step is to plaster or putty the ceiling. It is easy to perform any of these operations with your own hands. The specific surface treatment technique should be chosen wisely. Remember that the use of filler compounds guarantees a flawlessly even ceiling with minimum weight and a thin layer of leveling compound. More plaster is always required, it “eats up” several centimeters of the room's height. But it is much easier for a home craftsman to work with it. Almost any person can perform high-quality plastering.
Ceilings are putty according to the following scheme:
Treat the surface with a "rough" putty if, after removing the old layer and applying a primer, there are tangible differences in height and deep potholes on it. You need to fully align the ceiling. Therefore, the filler layer can be up to 50 millimeters thick. All work is done with a rule or a wide spatula.
Place the masking net on the filler (no need to wait until it is completely dry) and press this structure with a spatula.
Wait for the layer to dry and proceed to finishing the surface (use any putty suitable for this purpose). Then it is recommended to process the ceiling with sandpaper floats (they are sold in specialized stores for builders). Their use guarantees a perfectly flat ceiling covering.
Plastering can be done with your own hands like this:
At a distance of about 20 cm from the wall, mark a point for the guide. We make a similar indent on the other side of the ceiling. Draw a line between the two marked points with a paint thread. Then you step back 100-125 cm from it and again do the markup according to the already described algorithm.
Now you need to make holes for the fasteners (if you have a drill, the operation is performed without difficulty).
Fasten the guides with universal screws. Here it is important to achieve their location in the same plane and strictly horizontally. All work is carried out with a building level. Feel free to adjust the height of the guides by screwing or unscrewing the screws used.
Fix the guides firmly with a thick plaster.
Wait for the solution to dry.
Apply plaster in the space between the guides, level the mortar with a metal rule.
Allow the composition to dry, after which you can start finishing the ceiling with a new coating.

A simple way to give an attractive look to the ceilings in an apartment is whitewashing. The whitewashed surface is in harmony with almost any interior design. Such repairs are performed with quicklime.It must be diluted with water, filtered through a sieve and used as directed. Work is carried out with a vacuum cleaner, paint brush, roller or spray gun.
Note that the whitewash stays on the ceiling for 1–2 years. And then you will need to repair it again - to update the surface. At the same time, the costs for the whitewash composition are minimal.
Whitewashing the ceiling space
Painting them is considered an inexpensive option for restoring ceilings. This repair method is more practical. Experts advise using it to restore surfaces in bathrooms and kitchens. Painting in the overwhelming majority of cases is made with oil and water-based paints. They need to be mixed well and applied to the ceiling with a brush and roller mounted on a bar.
Always start painting with a brush at the edges of the ceiling. After that, it is better to apply a roller, painting over the rest of the surface. When redecorating a painted ceiling, you can clean the areas where there is swollen or peeling paint with a spatula, and then apply a new composition to them.

Old ceiling structures can be repaired with tiles. This recovery method is quite popular. You will need acrylic special adhesive and tiles directly. The work is carried out as follows:
Mark the center of the ceiling, from this point you need to start fixing the tiles.
Apply acrylic mixture to the edges of the tiles and to their central part. Glue the tile and press it lightly.
If excess parts remain at the edges, cut off unnecessary pieces of tile with a knife.
In the corners of the ceiling, glue curbs or skirting boards to give the structure a finished look.
All described works can be performed by one person. But you won't be able to cover the ceiling with wallpaper yourself. We'll have to call an assistant. The scheme of such repair work is as follows:
Dilute (according to the manufacturer's instructions) the glue.
Cut off 2-3 pieces of wallpaper from the total roll, process them with an adhesive (use a brush), wait a couple of minutes (the glue should be absorbed into the material).
Apply adhesive mixture to the ceiling surface.
Fold a piece of wallpaper into an accordion and glue it, gradually unwinding.
Use a roller to smooth out a piece of canvas.
Remove excess glue with a cloth dampened in water and wrung out.
First of all, entering the room, the ceiling is striking. From its aesthetics, a general opinion about the room as a whole is built. A durable ceiling surface deserves more attention than you think. The step-by-step stages of ceiling repair will help to bring the coating in order. Doing it yourself can save you a lot of money.
Experience and practice are important at every stage, if you have not encountered it before, we strongly recommend that you contact a specialist. The final cost of the project depends on the volume and complexity of the ceiling. Highly qualified specialists will help you develop a project, squeeze it into the design and implement everything in a short time.
The first step is choosing a ceiling material. There is a large selection of materials on the modern market, it is difficult to choose the best option, each is good in its own way from these considerations, we will touch on each.
The most popular are:
Whitewash;
Dye;
Wallpaper;
Plastic panels (MDF);
Ceiling tiles;
Suspended structure;
Tree;
Rack surface;
Armstrong;
Stretch fabric.
The old surface should be cleaned to a complete base, if the repair is carried out in a new building, proceed to the next step.
The old cladding is removed completely. Old whitewash and plaster is first soaked with a roller. The roller is moistened with warm water and try to squeeze into the surface. The dried roller is wetted again by repeating the procedure. Scrape the wet surface with a spatula to the concrete base. Large rooms are soaked in patches to prevent drying out.
If the surface has been coated with oil-based paint or water-based paint, it will be problematic to remove it in a simple way. The mechanical method is laborious and will take a lot of effort, so buy a wash. The wash is a chemical solution that will corrode the surface. After soaking the ceiling with a cleaning solution, it should be left to infuse for 12 hours. Now proceed to remove the old paint.
In old panel houses, decorative panels are used. An ordinary scraping will help to remove the panel. Remove the remaining stains immediately so that they do not appear on the new surface.
All cracks, seams must be eliminated, otherwise it will all be reflected on the new surface. First, each crack is cut. The cutting process involves widening and breaking the furrow. As an assistant, you can use a hammer drill, chisel, or even a grinder. The breakdown will help to seal the crack better, preventing it from creeping further.
Each crack is well cleaned of dust and debris. Be sure to treat the inside with a primer, this will improve the adhesion of the future solution to the surface. The size of the defect matters!
Small minor crackles can be sealed with sealant or polyurethane foam. The foamed gap must be given time to expand, only after that the excess is cut off. Large cracks are closed using a serpyanka mesh. The mesh acts as a second primer, figuratively of course.
Any composition is applied with effort, pressing it inward. A serpyanka must be glued to the sealed places, and its width overlaps the holes by 1-2 centimeters on each side.
The cleaned surface can be primed. The primer has both adhesive and antiseptic properties. The areas affected by the fungus are pretreated with antifungal components. Allow the coating to dry after applying antifungal mixtures. The primer is applied to a dry wall with a roller, if it is difficult to crawl up with a roller, use a brush.
The composition of the soil is covered in 2-3 layers, with a 3-4 hour break between each layer. The multi-layer cake primer will form a film that will help keep the outer layer intact for as long as possible.
The prepared surface must be leveled before finishing, otherwise the facing coating may skew. One of the methods will help to make the surface even - wet plaster or drywall sheets.
This type of plaster is used exclusively for leveling. There are mineral, acrylic, silicate and silicone mixtures. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, so choosing the right one does not hurt to disassemble the properties.
A mixture of mineral plaster is included in the class of environmentally friendly materials. Its composition consists of clean and safe components - slaked lime, Portland cement, natural stone, modifiers.

Smoothing the surface with a wet putty is considered a classic method, but requires skill.
Drywall sheets are used to level highly skewed surfaces. In addition to the ideal ceiling, you will get increased heat and sound insulation characteristics. Smooth wooden surfaces will allow you to fasten the sheets without erecting a fastening structure.
A specially erected frame is assembled from a galvanized profile, and by laying additional thermal insulation mats, the characteristics will increase. The maximum frame height reaches 15 centimeters, and for low rooms 5-7 cm.
The frame is fastened in the following sequence:
Surface marking;
In the middle of the two sides (width, length), a profile is attached, dividing the room into 4 squares;
Fasteners are made for suspensions, on which the rest of the profile will be planted;
The guides are attached with self-tapping screws;
Mount the fixing jumpers;
Sew on the missing details of the frame;
Mount electrical wiring;
Sheathed with drywall sheets.
It is better to fasten full-size sheets together. The sheet has large dimensions, and it is difficult to keep track of the entire area, it can break at a height. After sheathing the frame with sheets, glue all the seams with a serpyanka, putty on top with a layer of putty. The finishing stage of the putty is applied in compliance with the surface level. After drying, the gypsum plasterboard sheets are sanded, primed and transferred to the finishing.
Finishing is not limited to preparatory processes, it is time to move on to the finishing part. Ceiling repair stages also involve painting or finishing with other materials. The paint is used less and less as a finishing material for the ceiling. The paints and varnishes have been replaced by new traditional surfaces.
Before painting, the ceiling should be prepared - covered with 2-3 coats of primer solutions. After drying, proceed. For work, you need a roller on a long bar and a brush. The first coat of paint is called test, the appearance after the application of the initial coat does not affect the final appearance in any way. For coloring, use water-based or acrylic paint, which is applied according to a special technique in at least 3 layers.
Modern plastic panels have reached their peak, the appearance has a great structural variety. You can fix the panels directly to the ceiling, or use a frame made of wood or a metal profile. Fastening of panels to a wooden frame is made with special staples and nails. It is convenient to attach the plastic to the metal profile using short self-tapping screws.
For a neat cladding, use a starter strip, which is nailed around the perimeter and hides the edges of the panels. Pay attention to the installation of the first panel, its distortion will cause a defect in the entire structure. Fastening the last panel will cause difficulty, in order to avoid an awkward moment, first insert the panel into the panel, and then slip it into the facing.
Wallpapering the ceiling is harder than you might imagine. The inconvenience of the process, combined with the alignment of each strip along the entire length, makes you want to quit. Choosing this type of finish without experience - handwritten judgment. For simplicity, you can choose wallpaper without a pattern.
In order not to translate expensive canvases, buy a roll of cheap wallpaper, and practice, transfer the experience gained to the finishing option.
Start gluing indoors;
Glue only two people, standing one after the other;
It is more convenient to glue one with a rolling pin;
Start work by preparing the glue;
Wallpaper is glued onto a primed dry surface;
