Film and rolled materials can be used to plaster finish surfaces, walls of wood and plaster, chipboard, fiberboard, etc. However, it is best to use wallpaper pasting the walls, which combine low cost and feasibility of any design decision. Work on the bonding of wallpaper is simple, so it can be done by almost everyone. One of the advantages of using them is that life is not as wallpaper short compared with the painted surface, you want to remodel again in case of contamination, replace a piece of wallpaper is much easier than to pick a shade of paint that matches the color of the surface.
Set wallpaper for walls
In paper wallpaper has more advantages compared to film and rolled materials, which do not absorb moisture and do not let the air, creating an unfavorable and harmful to the atmosphere. Therefore, according to health standards, living rooms should hang wallpaper with paper, and the premises where the person does not hold for a long time (toilet, bathroom, kitchen) - film. In addition, these wallpapers can be washed or cleaned with a damp cloth, and the walls in the kitchen and sanitary facilities get dirty much faster. That's why washable, which represent the film on paper, are best suited for bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, and built-in cabinets. Bathrooms, where the higher humidity of the room, it is best to paste vinyl leather, penoplenom, unbonded films. These wallpapers are suitable for the front.
In order for the room turned out beautiful and comfortable, need to be properly before papering the walls of wallpaper to choose the texture of the wallpaper. Thus, if the room is small, the large drawing on the wallpaper visually reduce it even more. Therefore, in this case it is better to decorate the room with wallpaper or small blurry picture.
Visually, you can increase the height of the room, picking up the wallpaper with a vertical pattern and pokleit them to the ceiling. Border, on the contrary, visually makes room below.
If the furniture in the room rather ugly, and you would like as little as possible to focus attention on it, the brighter the wallpaper with an expressive, eye-catching pattern will allow you to do it. A beautiful furniture will make more visible dull, monochrome wallpaper.
When choosing a color wallpaper should also consider the functionality of the room. For example, orange is better suited for living rooms and bedrooms to better choose cool colors. Brown reduces the room, and blue, in contrast, makes it visually more spacious.
If the windows face north, it is best to decorate the room orange wallpaper, as it will make it more shiny. In contrast, for the rooms where the windows face south, it is better to pick up the blue, blue and green shades.
Wallpaper on the ceiling
It is best to ceiling smoryatsya bright wallpaper without pattern or with barely perceptible pattern. For simplicity of the wallpaper can be chosen that do not require interfacing. To wallpaper flat on the surface, the glue on the ceiling should be applied by roller, covering them to the surface and edges of the walls nearby.

Repair house: decorative plaster
Materials for the walls, there are so many. Decorative plaster remains one of the best - easy to work on finishing and Give a decorative plaster makes a great choice. Incidentally, this is not the only material that relates to decorative coverings. They also include stone chippings and "Venetian" plaster, structural plaster and some others, but they can not completely be attributed either to paint or to the plaster.
We return to the decorative plaster: simplicity of the technology application of decorative plaster and beautiful - it's not only her dignity. Trimmed walls can be washed with detergent, scouring powder and water. The connecting elements that are part of the plaster, absolutely do not spoil the water. And despite the various external influences plaster for long maintain its appearance.
Many people who are not versed in construction materials, can be easily misled by the enormous number of "decorative plaster," which is on the market. Confusing and many of its titles - "plaster", "Putz" and "stucco", which denote it, too: all three words putz (German), plaster (English) and stucco (Italian) were translated as plaster. Also plaster is classified into several types, depending on the type of surface, which is obtained as a result, as well as application technology of the material. Therefore, a building materials store you can find such descriptions as a relief plaster, mosaic, "roller", "under his coat," "rustic" and others.
Any plaster is a paste for application to walls or ceilings. It can be used as a basis for other materials or as a self-finish.
Structural plaster is mixed with a granular mass of pellets (wood fibers, small pebbles, etc.). It is divided into mineral, silicate-based synthetic latex.
Flock - a small colored specks, which are applied to the adhesive.
Venetian plaster can simulate marble. It is made of marble flour.
Plaster "antique" is a paint based on synthetic latex (binder in the composition of water-based paints), which has the effect of antiques due to appear at deposition abrasions.
Depending on the grain size, decorative plasters are divided into fine-grained and coarse-grained.
Mechanical resistance determines a material's ability to impact and scratches.
Chromaticity plaster is added with tinting - the process of adding pigment (masterbatch) to the white stuff.
These properties of the plaster as a hydrophobic coating ability and absorptive capacity determines its ability to cover, respectively, to repel water and absorb water.

How to paint the walls and ceiling of the apartment and house
If you're going to paint the house or walls in your apartment, do not think that will do it quickly and easily. Of course, you can quickly go through the brush on the surface, but is unlikely to result will please you. In order to get the nice quality painted walls and ceiling have to stock up on time and patience. You also need to plan everything in advance.
Paint
Most use two types of ink: water based (acrylic paint) and oil (alkyd), also known as bituminous paint. Both are widely used, although water-based paints (water-based) are more popular. It is believed that water-based paints eventually supplant oil paints. However, oil paint on the surface to form a more durable protective coating, so that professionals prefer to work with them.
The Action Plan before repair
Before you remove the old paint from the walls, you need a plan of action. This will allow more effective. The plan should include the following items:
1. Purchase of necessary materials
2. Purification and preparation of the walls
3. painting
4. Cleaning after the completion of all painting works
Cleaning and preparation
Prior to the primer or paint interior and exterior surfaces of the walls to clean them. Internal surfaces should be cleaned with mild soap solution. For exterior surfaces of this may be insufficient. Should be cleaned with a soft bristle brush and rinse thoroughly. To prevent the development of fungus and mildew, treat contaminated sites in a mixture of 1 part chlorine oxide and 3 parts water. After cleaning the surface it is time to examine it to identify a variety of flaws that can spoil the look of the painted walls. Found cracks, cracks and scratches are removed putty. Knead the putty to a state of moderate to heavy weight. Too much liquid filler will shrink when dry and too thick to work hard, and it dries very quickly.
Internal preparations
The first step when painting interior surfaces to remove furniture and other items that make it difficult approach to the painted surface. The remaining room furnishings and equipment - ceiling fans, chandeliers, floor heaters, radiators, carpets, as are the floors - should be covered with tarpaulins or plastic sheeting for painting, but it is better to learn from the premises. When using film, be aware that her paint dry longer. So on top of plastic film can put the newspaper. Then you need to remove from the surface to all the elements of electronic devices, as well as electrical switches, wall sockets, door and furniture handles. If the old paint is flaking, you should remove it and clean up the remaining edges with sandpaper grit medium. In case of need for places where the paint peels off, applied to viscous substance. Cracks in the corners, baseboards and moldings on the need to cover up. Holes from nails and screws are filled with putty.
After the plaster dries, wipe it lightly with sandpaper grit medium. If you have wood walls or wood trim you will need to carefully examine it to identify the damaged site. You must remove the decayed pieces of wood and covered them with wood porozapolnitelem. After the filler has dried, treat the surface of fine-grained sandpaper.
Need to make a smooth wall surface, as paint does not hide, and emphasizes the defects. Make the wall perfectly smooth primer coat it. Use the same type of primer, and paint that.
Preparation of outer wooden walls of the house
In the production of exterior painting work initially removed large items that make it difficult approach to the painted surface. They are such items as drainage pipes, chutes, lighting, window shutters, window and door nets. If you plan to repaint them, then you must do so before installing the items to their original location. Then you carefully inspect all wood surfaces at home. If necessary, caulked seams and joints. Cracks disguise. In order to remove the old putty from the small crack, you can use a universal knife. Exit-site cap nails checked for rust. The use of latex paint can contribute to its emergence. If you notice signs of rust nails should be covered with corrosion inhibitor. After drying, the moderator should be the nail deeper into the surface. Then paint over the nails flush masking putty. Position of the composition align with a spatula. Instead of masking putty putty can be applied to the exterior. If the paint is peeling or flaking, it must be removed. Rotten woodwork repaired with wood porozapolnitelya for outdoor use.
Tools and materials
To fulfill the basic need to be painted:
Brush for painting
Paint roller and paint tray paint
Knife and paint scraper
masking tape
Protective eyeglasses and clothing
Ladder or scaffold
Cleaning
It is worth remembering that these tools are available in several forms. What you need to buy depends on the objective and scope of work performed.
technology
If the inside will be painted the walls and ceiling, it is better to paint the ceiling first. It is not necessary to paint the ceiling along the length. Since the staining along the width you need to cover a smaller space, the work hardly seems overwhelming. In addition, it will be easier your neck. In order to perform painting faster, you can use a roller, or better yet, spray machine. Surface along the molding paint brushes. Then moves down the walls painted. Some professionals working rollers. In order to be noticeably smaller bands as possible, they make a W-shaped motion (up and down at an angle instead of flat vertical movements).
This is just one of the options, how to paint - either directly or at an angle - everyone decides for themselves. After painting large surfaces should pay attention to small details throughout the room, such as window and door frames, ceiling moldings or sex. After finishing all the painting works must immediately, without waiting for the paint has dried, remove all smudges and mistakes. The errors are easily removed with a damp cloth.
Cleaning
If the paint work was done with water-based paint, the brush should be washed in warm soapy water. Most other water-based paints easily washed off with brushes and rollers under running water. If used oil paints, brushes and cleaning tools require a solvent. For proper disposal of waste should be explored instructions on the package. Emulsion paint, standing for a few days open, wither, and they can throw together with household waste. Oil paint can be harmful to the environment. It is recommended to specify a local hardware store, how to safely dispose of such materials.
Happy painting!
Plasterboard wall
Drywall for walls and partitions erection
Drywall - a sheet finishing material, which consists of plaster, which is pasted on both sides of cardboard. The bulk of the material (93%) are in plaster, 6% - on board and 1% - to the valve.
The main advantages of drywall for walls are its environmental, fire, high sound absorption, moisture resistance, the ability to regulate humidity and strength. In addition, the drywall is very flexible, and can therefore be used to create curved surfaces. Wet drywall is easy to bend at any angle. After giving it the desired shape it is dried by warm air and start to finish.
The walls are lined with plasterboard, wallpaper paste over can, as well as paint or whitewash glue or oil paint. In this case, the surface no longer need to expose any treatment. The only thing that will need to wallpapering - it is treated nail heads with alcohol or lacquer nitroenamels, or corrosion may occur. Not recommended to treat the surface, lined with gypsum board, lime paint, because it adheres poorly to this material.
Drywall is different lengths, the most popular pages 2000, 2500, 2600, 2750 and 3000 mm. Standard width of the material - 1200 mm, thickness - 12.5 mm or 9.5 mm. Gypsum sheets (gypsum fiber board), which are not pasted over cardboard, are a special type of drywall. Gypsum fiber board is no different from a standard drywall on the length and width, its thickness is 10 mm or 6 mm. Special processing aids make gypsum fiber board harder and resistant to fire.
Plasterboard are divided into conventional (GCR) and waterproof (GKLV). The latter is usually used for decoration of bathrooms, kitchens and toilets. Although GKLV maximally adapted for areas with high humidity, no ventilation, they quickly deteriorate. It is also very important to cover GKLV waterproof primer, waterproofing compounds, paints and ceramic tiles. By the standards used to create the GCR gray cardboard and GKLV - green. Drywall is divided as to fire-resistant plasterboard (plasterboard) and moisture resistant plasterboard, fireproof (GKLVO).
Priming the walls, the types and compositions of primers

Priming the walls, the types and compositions of primers
Any finishing material should have a good hold on the surface - whether it is made of wood, metal, concrete or anything else. Improve the adhesion surface can be coated with a primer, the use of which has many advantages. Paint, plaster and other materials are better absorbed into the surface, resulting in stronger hold on her.
Despite this, some builders prefer to abandon the primer the walls, thereby increasing the risk that the plaster falls off, and wallpaper otvisnut. In addition, priming the walls prevents the final result of various defects (stains, cracks, divorce), arising from the moisture of the surface. So do not be lazy and Primary coated surface than to redo all the work to finish again. If you order a priming wall resolutely from the pros, it will cost you about 0.5 dollars per square meter of surface. Given that the cost per square meter of all the work required to finish the surface, is approximately $ 20, it is absurd not to give up the most expensive operation, lack of which could negate all the work.
If earlier for each type of work used the same type of primer, but now the building materials market has become more wealthy. You can buy any kind of primer, including, in particular, dry and ready to go. Primers differ in the type of surface, for which they are intended (wood, concrete, metal, plaster, brick), the level of the room humidity which will take work, and the method further finishing (tiling, painting, plastering). Also release formulations are designed for initial training bases (primer-primer) and to improve the attachment between finishing coats.
The structure includes a variety of film-forming primers matter (bitumen, tar, some glue, oils), pigments, and accelerators are dry. They are made in acrylic, mineral, alkyd and other basics.
Primers based on mineral oil used for the initial rapid processing and surfacing of mineral materials: brick, concrete, lightweight concrete, plasters, silicate-concrete blocks. As an element of cohesion in these soils is used cement.
At the present time are very popular universal water based primers, acrylic-based copolymers. They are able to create a good grip on any surface, including latex, acrylic and alkyd paints. These primers can be used on the surfaces of concrete, cement, covered with plaster, plasterboard walls, covered with paint and finished with glass fiber wallpaper.
Primers quick drying alkyd based used for primary and secondary finishing of wood, wood fiber and particle board - as has already been dyed and untreated. These soils are well attached, even to such surfaces as PVC plastic, glass, galvanized steel, fiberglass.
Among the specialized primers may be noted 1) vlagoizolyatsionnye primers that contain additives and fungicidal protivoplesnevye, 2) special insulating ground, opposing the appearance of defects on the walls due to nicotine, smoke, soot, and 3) are designed for ceilings, 4) for the pre-treatment of the sexes.
Painting the ceiling, ceiling moldings, ceiling painting technique
Painting the ceiling
Ready to paint the ceiling should be before the work on the walls and floor, or accidental drops can damage the paint work. When painting a ceiling is very important to do everything carefully and thoroughly, even if it slows down the pace of work. By the way, professional painters avoid rapid methods that do not degrade performance. 
The best known way to finish the ceiling - it's whitewashing, using well-known "home" means - a mixture of chalk, glue, blue, soap and water. And although this means-tested for over 50 years, it has several disadvantages: a whitewash kept short, fade from sunlight colors, and can be damaged by the action of water.
Therefore it is better to use more modern materials, such as water-based paints that are specially designed to work precisely with the ceiling. This paint can be applied with brush, roller or spray. The resulting white coating can be washed.
Preparation before painting the ceiling
For your convenience, it is expedient to create a special stage, most importantly, see to it that they are not slippery, otherwise you may fall. You can also use for sturdy table or chair.
The thickness of the paint layer should normally not exceed one millimeter, it is enough to the ceiling surface was protected from dust and chemicals that are in the air.
Before painting, Porous surfaces (wood, cement, plaster, stone, brick) should be covered with a layer of primer to give them a greater density, otherwise the paint will soak into them.
Before starting work hold the brush in water, so it softened bristle: stiff hair left on the surface of the rough tracks and the quality of staining is markedly reduced. In addition, the exposure of the brush in water before work leads to the fact that the hair density increases, and therefore this reduces the likelihood of hair loss during the process of dyeing. After a wet brush, dry it. It is also advisable to do some work on it a hard surface - concrete or mortar, pre-moistened with a brush in the paint. This will eliminate some of the brush protruding hairs that are left on the surface of the strip.
Some people prefer to burn brush in order to align its bristles. However, professional painters say that such action is appropriate only when using a brush made of horsehair. Burning brush bristle is not recommended, as this may damage the most valuable part of the bristles - "flags".
During the painting of the ceiling from time to time, turn the brush around its axis, otherwise it will be uneven bristle wear, forming the so-called "paddle" that is, stubble, stochennuyu on one side.
Before you start painting the ceiling should be mixed thoroughly. If it formed a film of dried paint, then in any case do not try to break it, much less to mix with the rest of the paint. The fact that the dried paint can not dissolve. Therefore, the mixing will lead only to the fact that the paint on the surface appear to be lumps. Therefore, carefully peel off the tape blade, and the remaining strain the paint through a filter (gauze or strainer) into another container, then stir.
Mix the paint should be as often as possible to prevent the occurrence of sediment.
To oil-based paint is not dried up, it is necessary to put thick paper, which to fill in linseed oil or lubricating oil.
Technique of painting the ceiling
Evenness of the painted surface depends on the pressure on the brush. With a weak push the paint falls on the surface of narrow strips, ugly thick, leaving gaps. If you press the brush too hard, then it will drain the paint, which forms the smudges, but a coat of paint with a thin and will easily shade. In this regard, it is better to press lightly on the brush, but as the waste paint to increase its pressure and carefully shade.
In order to prevent run-off paint on the brush, you can roll a roll of cloth or foam and attach it to the handle 30 - 50 mm below the wrist.
From time to time Squeeze the paint on the edge of dish to keep it from dripping on the floor. The brush can be held either perpendicular to the surface or at a slight angle. Make uniform swings so as to obtain broad band, which then must be carefully shade.
The crossing of lines at right angles paint makes the surface smoother.
During the breaks keep the brush in water, thinner or even in a bucket of paint. But be sure to dip the brush into the water so that it does not touch the bottom of the tank, otherwise the hair will be deformed. If you brush a wooden frame, then leave it for a long time in the water can not be, otherwise it will spoil.
It is best to lower the brush about one-third the length of the bristles, if you dip the brush is too deep, its handle is stained, and it begins to drip paint. Removing it, tap the clutch on the edge of the bucket to shake off excess paint drops. Wipe the brush on the edge of the container is not necessary, otherwise you will remove too much paint. When you make a stroke, hold the handle the brush as close to the ceiling, as the movement by increasing the angle. The first stroke goes up, and following down the same site. If the first smear once a well-covered surface, leave smears on the left and right.
When you have finished painting the ceiling, flush thoroughly with a brush. This can be done with turpentine, mineral spirits or kerosene. And then wash the brush in warm soapy water as long as the water is clear. Brush, smeared in glue paint, enough to wash in hot water. It is also advisable to wrap the brush that you will not enjoy long, gauze, so that the bristles do not lose their shape.
Especially careful maintenance require hand-trimming and fleytsy, they must wash not only after work, but also during the breaks.
The brush is usually used in small areas, large areas easier to paint with a roller. If you have strokes cross each other, then a layer of paint will be more uniform, and traces the roller will not be noticeable.
The roller is more convenient not to dip a bucket of paint, and in a special container (a small pan with edges), where you can ride. Pour the paint to about half a pallet.
A small tray can be enhanced directly under the roller so that the paint does not drip down.
It should permeate the paint roller so that it is evenly soaked in all of its surface. Staining should begin at a distance of one meter from the corner of carrying out and roll away from you. You can start with in order to spread over the surface of a rich layer of paint to paint it on the site in a zigzag line with the letter W, and then spread the paint across the surface.
To paint was carefully shade on the surface, they send the motion perpendicular to each other. It is also important roll to roll several times in the same area.
It is recommended to put the domestic three layers of paint, import - by two. Period of time, which should be maintained between the stains, paint specified on the package. Withstand the required time necessary to ensure that the surface was smooth and beautiful. The fact that the colorful layers during a dry run a few steps. For example, on the stage "to touch" paint still retain plasticity, but it already adheres dust. Apply a new layer only when the paint goes into a state of complete drying, the time required for this different for each color. It is therefore necessary to closely follow the instructions on the package.
To paint you not to stain your hands or clothing, wear rubber gloves on his hands, and on the sleeves - plastic bags, which cut off the bottom.
If you have soiled his hands in water-based paint, they can wash the vinegar, oil paint can be washed, rubbed them with oil and washed with warm soapy water.
Ease of use, add grid, stretched on a frame size of 200x300, you want to put on a tray or clean bucket. This will allow more rapid pressing roller of excess paint to avoid any smudges. Instead, the grid can use a piece of roofing tin or steel with the steps of holes in it. During the draw roller staining on the grid so as to remove excess paint from him, and then proceed directly to the stain.
Whitewashing the ceiling
Can be used to wash spray, which causes a layer of thinly and evenly. You must first drain structure through a fine sieve or cheesecloth. Throw shall not exceed 40-70 cm. When painting the ceiling to move the spray in a circular motion. It should not be long to keep spray in one spot, otherwise this site perenasytitsya paint. Saturated region is different in that shade of paint on it becomes glossy hue.
For aqueous compositions are particularly suitable electric or hand-held spray guns, and Guns.
Ceiling Wallpaper - sticky
Sticky ceiling wallpaper
Glue is applied thickly with a wide brush, first in the middle of the cloth, then gently spread over the entire surface.
A layer of glue on the ceiling wallpaper should be uniform. An additional application of its always problematic.
Fluff gently folded fabric glue. Starting with short side, make the folds of the depth of about 30 cm so that an adhesive layer in contact with others. The resulting "harmonica" ends stripe width of 30 cm also with it and you begin to glue fabric to the ceiling, gradually expanding the "harmonica".
A folded cloth in this way left for a few minutes to glue soaked into the paper and it becomes more pliable (during which time you can glue another three or four paintings). However, be careful that the paper does not become too soft, otherwise it will break easily.
Pasting
Before you climb onto the platform, make sure the scissors, roller for the seams and wallpaper brush at your fingertips. They will need to glue fabric to the ceiling and carefully smooth it.
The softened adhesive wallpaper are very "sensitive" and can easily be broken. To avoid unpleasant surprises, and better manage the "accordion", use any auxiliary means. This may be a broom wrapped in plastic wrap or cardboard roll, for example, from the roll of wrapping foil, or, finally, visibly relieved roll of wallpaper, which is already cut off several paintings. Then with one hand hold the roller "harmonica" wallpaper, while the other gently applied to the upper section of the ceiling paintings, focusing on the control line. Then this piece of wallpaper tightly and smooth with a brush in the direction from the middle to the edges.
In the future act the same way, ie straighten the folds of "bunching" and attached to the ceiling, one section after another, firmly pressed down and smooth the brush. At the same time see to it that the edge of cloth exactly matches the reference line. Just so you can be sure that all the other paintings will serve absolutely right, that is carried out in parallel lines.
Well, if your working clothes has lots of pockets. Then the scissors and roller for the seams will always be with you.
Expand folds "accordion", gradually smoothing wallpaper from the middle to the edges, avoid wrinkles and bubbles.
Righties easier to keep the folded wallpaper in his right hand, and smoothing blade left - so it's easier to keep the "harmonica" in the ceiling and move along the way.
Attach the blade to the edge of the control line, straighten, push hands or brush and smooth.
The second sheet is placed on the edge of the first. Make sure that the seam was clean and linen came close to each other.
Against the wall
Edge of the blade pressed against blunt scissors in the corner, so there has been a line cut.
Accurate docking with the wall is achieved as follows: blunt scissors hold on the corner between the wall and ceiling. Then withdrawn slightly and cut its cloth to clearly visible on the fracture. Cutting Line in this case will be smooth.
In the place where the chandelier is suspended, make a cut crosswise to wallpaper does not wrinkle.
It does not require accuracy to the millimeter, as later the cap covering the mount chandelier from the ceiling, and close the incision in the wallpaper.

To paint you not to stain your hands or clothing, wear rubber gloves on his hands, and on the sleeves - plastic bags, which cut off the bottom.
If you have soiled his hands in water-based paint, they can wash the vinegar, oil paint can be washed, rubbed them with oil and washed with warm soapy water.
Ease of use, add grid, stretched on a frame size of 200x300, you want to put on a tray or clean bucket. This will allow more rapid pressing roller of excess paint to avoid any smudges. Instead, the grid can use a piece of roofing tin or steel with the steps of holes in it. During the draw roller staining on the grid so as to remove excess paint from him, and then proceed directly to the stain.
Whitewashing the ceiling
Can be used to wash spray, which causes a layer of thinly and evenly. You must first drain structure through a fine sieve or cheesecloth. Throw shall not exceed 40-70 cm. When painting the ceiling to move the spray in a circular motion. It should not be long to keep spray in one spot, otherwise this site perenasytitsya paint. Saturated region is different in that shade of paint on it becomes glossy hue.
For aqueous compositions are particularly suitable electric or hand-held spray guns, and Guns.

Suspended ceilings. Care
Caring for a suspended ceiling is very simple. This is one of the attractions of consumers. But still adhere to certain requirements is to ensure that the ceiling have served you as long as possible and please the beautiful appearance. For example, to care for a suspended ceiling, it must be kept clean, do not forget to clear it from accumulating dust and prevent waterlogging. Clean ceiling of dirt are two methods. The first method of dry cleaning where ceilings can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner, a little dirt are removed by a conventional eraser.
The second method of caring for a suspended ceiling, dry cleaning with a sponge soaked with water and detergent. When cleaning units suspended mineral fiber sponge should be damp, so as not to damage the surface. Fat is cleaned with special detergents. Most importantly, in their composition did not include abrasives, as they may leave a defect on the surface. To clean the cassette and suspended ceilings can be used not too much pressure water jets. The pressure of the jet to be adjusted so that it is not twisted plane panel. After removing the dirt surface to polish with a soft cloth or sponge.
In the event of flooding, roof water must be removed modules: the panels, tapes, tiles or strips. Metal-ins simply cleaned of residual water, rinse and dry. A cardboard-gypsum panels be replaced by a new board or disguise the defects formed by various filler by roller, brush or spray. When operating the suspended ceiling in the winter for a long time, the room can be very cool, and in-ceiling space condensation. To avoid damaging the panels hanging on this time period is better to remove them.
Special requirements for transport and storage of materials for installation of suspended ceilings. To protect the panels, cassettes, and T - profiles from external damage to cover them with plastic wrap. It will prevent the polished or painted surfaces of the fragments, and scratches. During transportation, ceiling tiles should not be thrown, placed on the angular surface or handle with care, since it will lead to deformation of the material. Before installing the ceiling modules are best kept in a dry, protected from moisture indoors on smooth surfaces. Suspended ceiling
Suspended ceiling Grilyato: installation
In order for a suspended ceiling was appropriate Grilyato presentable appearance, had a long life, it must be installed and mounted correctly, maintaining the high quality of the factory building of this type of ceiling. The entire installation process Grilyato reduced only to comply with a pair of corresponding engineering rules: fixtures that are installed on the ceiling, must be connected with the suspension of the steel sections to length, which already hold the ceiling panels and guide elements. Installation of ceiling Grilyato presents no special difficulties, the whole system setup is simple enough, but because of this it is also reliable. In order to properly assembly was held, must be guided scheme and assembly manual that is provided, in turn, is a manufacturer of products. Indeed, depending on the type of materials used, the size of the ceiling, the scheme may even not significant, but different.
All design ceiling Grilyato kept on hangers, which, despite its delicate appearance, strong enough, and guides. The very same ceiling Grilyato includes two main profile, made from aluminum, which are called "mother" and "Dad." These aluminum profiles are collected together in a grid, which can vary in their characteristics depending on the size of the ceiling. Then obtained as a result of this assembly is mounted on the grill so-called carrier.
The standard set is designed for mounting ceiling Grilyato includes the following elements: bearing rails of different sizes (submitted at least three elements of different lengths), bath, grill, suspension, and fasteners.
Now, let's talk about installing ceiling Grilyato. The main guiding element - With bearing structure 180, the amount of which is 1,800 millimeters. This guide is attached to the bar and either S120 (length 1200 mm), if the lattice ceiling consists of square cells in less than 75 to 75 millimeters, or a bar with 60 squares if the cells more than 75 by 75 millimeters. Then the carriers and intermediate rails are mounted on a height with the suspension, produced by springs. The design height of the step shall be not more than one hundred inches.
If you are installing a suspended ceiling is used Grilyato guide the design of C 60, it connects to the guide C 120 exactly in the middle, which ensures stability and strength of the ceiling. The dimensions of the two main guides range from 120 cm to 240. If the basic design guide is the beam 240 centimeters, then the connection is made with a guide at a distance of one hundred and twenty centimeters. If you are using an additional, third, with the guide 60, then its dimensions, respectively, are 60 inches.
Two guides, C 120 and C 60 are fastened together by means of a special adapter. Such fastening devices are usually used several pieces. As a result, the connection of all the guides and other elements that form a square side of 60 centimeters. Depending on the ceiling area is selected the right amount of sixty-centimeter squares, which form a complete design of the ceiling. Once it was installed on the ceiling, move to mount and install arrays of illuminating elements.
When installing ceiling Grilyato profiles, you can use the profile pruning technique, that is, fit the profile for the required parameters of cells, making these cells are most dense and tightly interconnected.
If the ceiling has been installed in accordance with Grilyato established scheme, by its appearance it will seem completely continuous. Depending on whether the number of cells used during the installation, depending on the height profile, the weight per square meter roof can vary from 2 to 6 pounds.

Armstrong suspended ceiling - installation
On this page you will find instructions on how to make a false ceiling installation Armstrong.
The mounting ceiling Armstrong
The grid is designed for distributed load - 3.5 ... 6.0 kg / m 2 by weight of the ceiling panels, as well as imposed from above (if necessary) a layer of insulating material. Support profiles frame on adjustable spring hangers are attached to the bottom step not more than 1200 mm . To prevent overloading the extreme perimeter profile suspension should stand on the wall no more than 600 mm with the weight of your ceiling to 4.0 kg / m 2 and 450 mm with a weight of more than 4.0 kg / m 2. The minimum distance from the base frame shall be not less than 120 mm from the condition of the possibility of removing plates during operation.
In general, the installation of suspended ceiling Armstrong in the following order:
- Measurement of the room and a breakdown of the basic interactions perpendicular axes;
- Removal of net marks on the walls and ceiling of the column;
- Marking the ceiling of the room axis in both directions to identify the size of the walls of the outer plates, the locations of fixtures, ventreshetok and other devices;
- The fixing of the angular profile (PU-profile 19/24) on the walls and pillars with dowels, installed at 0.5 m;
- Mount hangers with rods to the base through the ceiling anchor elements;
- Set the main T-profiles 24h38 and their alignment in one plane;
- Installation of T-profile cross-24h32 in the main profile of perforation;
- Installation of the longitudinal profile of the T-24h28 in perforation of the transverse profile;
- Laying tiles in the frame of the cell is in the process of mounting the frame or at the end. Laying to perform in the direction indicated by the arrows in the back of the plates. Slab adjacent to the walls, columns and other structures, cut at the place;
- If necessary, in the process of mounting plates, produce packing heat or sound insulating material;
- Installation of lighting fixtures, air vents, etc. made during installation.
Some of the requirements for installing a suspended ceiling Armstrong
Installation of panels made only after all construction work, including all "wet" processes, as well as the construction of floors and glass windows. The heating system should work to the room temperature could be achieved within 15 - 30 ° C. Relative humidity should not exceed 70%.
Installing the massive lights, air conditioners, etc. should be carried out by hanging them on a separate load-bearing structures.
In the case of laying an additional layer of heat-or sound-proofing material over plates or installing recessed fixtures, it should increase the number of suspensions in proportion to the weight of the ceiling.
Mounting ceiling Armstrong
To begin installation of Armstrong ceiling better after all communication designed to contain a false ceilings are already laid, as their seal after installation of the system, although it is possible but less convenient. When choosing a grid system should pay attention to the weight of internal equipment that you plan to place in suspended ceilings. Initially the system is designed for distributed load of 4 to 6.5 kg / m, but some types of suspension systems allow you to increase it to 7-10 kg / m².
The first thing to mark the horizontal surface of the false ceilings in the future. For this purpose it is necessary to put on any wall of the room first mark at the right distance from the floor, or an existing ceiling so that the mounted system covers a communication all the upper ledges and ceiling. In their absence, and if you want to place the surface of suspended ceilings at a minimum distance from the existing ceiling, be sure to pre-measure the height of all the built-in accessories mounted to the system and the need to take into account their location in determining the minimum possible distance between suspended ceilings and the existing ceiling.
After installation of the first mark it is projected on the walls of the room so that the resulting mark was easy to connect a straight line by line, or any flat object, able to play its role. That the surface roughness does not repeat the false ceilings and sloped floor or ceiling, the projection should be done with the water level - water level (or more accurately and more conveniently), or a sufficiently long carpenter's level (less accurate and convenient), based on first mark, and without delay the same distance from the floor or ceiling of the existing facilities at various locations. Once all the walls of the room will be held a straight line, indicating the horizontal level of future surface suspended ceilings, we can proceed to installation of the system.
Directly mounting the ceiling begins to mount to the wall, along a horizontal line obtained, a special L-shaped profile that came with the system Armstrong. For cutting the profile in the desired size, it is better to use ordinary hacksaw with fine teeth, and cutting corner joints joinery stuslo use, or use a protractor. Strengthen the profile is necessary so that it formed a regiment, facing the front (colored) side down. Fasteners must be selected in accordance with the material of the wall.
The next step will be installation guide profiles the system. They all have the form of an inverted T but differ in length. The long profile has a slot and the short ends with both sides of the small projections, which are inserted into the mounting slots long profiles. The result is a grid of guides to the size of the cell profiles of 600x600 mm, or 600x1200 mm, depending on the initially chosen configuration ceiling. After assembling the grill just filled cassettes Armstrong and the necessary accessories to be placed on shelves formed. In this installation of the lattice is better to start from the middle of the room to the central cell is accounted for in its center. In this case, trimming the extreme cells, which are unlikely to coincide exactly with the dimensions of the room is uniform and the ceiling will look neater. Hanging rails made at a special or regular wire (diameters not less than 2 mm), or with special suspension components, which are two thin metal rod, passed through the holes in the curved plate - lobe. When installing a system with a wire, you must first straighten the wire by means of any mechanical instrument to reduce the degree of deformation under load and do not at least 3 loops in the ground mount it to the profile and ceiling fixings. As fasteners for mounting to the ceiling system is better to use screws with a ring or a hook instead of the head - the better to strengthen them or hanging wire elements. Wall plugs for screws should be selected on the basis of the ceiling material. A weighed sample should begin with the long rails, consistently putting them short. Align the horizontal grid must be made with a level, after its complete assembly, bending or moving the wire in the petals, depending on the type of suspension. After 2-3 days after the ceiling will receive the full load, the alignment is recommended to repeat. Armstrong suspended ceiling
Armstrong suspended ceiling
One of the most common types of false ceiling is a ceiling Armstrong. The ease and versatility of its design, classic design, beautifully blends with any interior, the variety of standardized accessories, combined with the low price made it very popular in our country and around the world. It is said that his name was given ceiling on behalf of the American astronaut Neil Armstrong - the first of men to set foot on the lunar surface, and the reason for this was the main design option of the ceiling that looks like a lunar surface. But it's probably just a legend.
Armstrong is a ceiling light mineralovoloknistye tape thickness of about 20 mm, are laid on the metal rails that are attached to the ceiling of a special harness or even conventional wire (diameter less than 2 mm). Main Armstrong ceiling system applies to suspended ceilings with an open profile, ie for suspended ceilings, in which the harness is not completely hidden, and is part of the design (although the firm Armstrong produces other variants of the systems). Cassettes are available in two basic Armstrong sizes (600x600 and 600x1200 mm), in the ordinary or waterproof (up to 100% relative humidity) variants. There are several design options, which include a variety of surface textures, mesh and perforated tape. Standard cassette Armstrong practically nonflammable and have good heat-and noise-proof properties. But there are also specialized systems ceiling Armstrong, an elevated acoustic, fire-and moisture-proof properties. Although this is somewhat beyond the scope of this article, not to mention that the company also produces and Armstrong ceilings with metal trays, made of thin sheet steel with a synthetic elektrogalvanizirovannoy deposition, as well as combinations and variations, which are equipped with steel tapes mineralovolokonnnym coating for improve the acoustic characteristics. Traditionally, Armstrong ceiling white, although the program supply firms, there are a lot of colors.
The main advantages of this system include the roof versatility and ease of installation. The system is designed so that its installation is possible in the premises of any shape, almost at any distance from the existing ceiling, which allows convenient for her to have a variety of communication systems, ventilation systems and air conditioning systems. At the same time after installation of the system remains easy access to the space behind the ceiling, which is essential for maintenance and reconstruction of communications.
Another indisputable advantage - the ability to easily rebuilding itself roof systems and a wide choice of accessories. The popularity of the ceiling has prompted many companies to produce various accessories designed specifically for suspended ceiling Armstrong. Here and recessed fixtures, and items of ventilation systems and air conditioning systems, and even automatic fire extinguishing system. They are all unified under the standard sizes of 600x600 and 600x1200 cassette mm, and to fit them instead of simply insert a standard cassette mineralovoloknistoy necessary element and connect it to the appropriate communication. And to make it equally easy both during installation and later. In order to transfer, for example, light or air conditioner output to a new location, simply swap the unified element and one of the standard cassette system.

Installation of hanging suspended ceilings
Installation of suspended ceilings begins with attachment to the intended level of wall brackets. To do this, with the level of the building to mark the perimeter of the premises at the level at which to mount a new ceiling (it should be borne in mind that the minimum distance from the slab to the new ceiling should be 130mm).
The upper edge of the corner should be let to the marked line and secure it with fasteners at intervals of 400 - 600mm. If the baseboard corner is attached to the surface, which may be subject to shrinkage (or crate slats of wood), it is necessary to take into account the tolerance for shrinkage in order to prevent deformation of the frame.

Suspended ceiling
The suspended ceiling is a system consisting of a metal frame on which are fixed or finished components (panels, plates, strips, cellular modules, tapes), or plasterboard, creating a plane of the ceiling. Use ceiling leads to the formation of the space between the ceiling and the ceiling, where you can run utilities and installation of fixtures.
The advantages of a suspended ceiling
Suspended ceiling makes it easy to conceal defects of the ceiling surface, as well as all the equipment that is located above the ceiling. In addition, the design of the ceiling allows easy access to the equipment or in a particular desired location, or across the ceiling surface.
If one of the modular units has been damaged or destroyed, it can be easily replaced, without spending too much time.
The stretch ceiling: care
Caring for stretch ceiling is very simple and requires little effort and financial investments. Cloth stretch ceiling is very easy to clean. Use a soft cloth or sponge, do not leave fibers. Cloth stretch ceiling can wash almost any glass cleaner that contains no fat. Avoid cleaners that contain soap. Do not be afraid if the canvas will sag too much under the arms, remember that the film is solid and the action of any mechanical deformation, it returns to its original position.
Deforming to stretch ceiling is the impact of sharp objects that can make a hole or scratch. Blunt objects are not distorting factor. If in any way hurt - stabbed, slashed - the canvas, you must immediately seal it with tape and place to cause masters.
Undesirable effects on leaf temperatures below-5C. In this case, the film may crack.
So caring for stretch ceiling is really simple and it is an undoubted advantage over other types of finishing the ceiling.

Acoustic ceilings help to reduce noise in the apartment and eliminate the annoying sounds. Their reflective properties allow us to make well-lit room with minimal power consumption.
Finally, the ceilings are very easy and quick to install.
Design capabilities
Suspended ceilings are not only easy to use, but you can create any design in the room, what you want. You can choose modules from any drawing, and imitation of any material. Design ceilings and include types: 1) with a decorative surface finish, 2) with pictures on the surface, 3) allows the construction of various forms (for example, arches and domes).
Curved ceilings can be constructed from modules made from mineral and glass fiber, metal, and also of gypsum boards. You can realize all your fantasies, ceiling decorated with arches, vaults and other forms. Complement to the interior could provide woven wire mesh, and special graceful suspension systems without populating the tiles.
Designers are constantly working on new models, false ceilings, so they combine not only the functionality and ease of use, and aesthetic properties. For example, recently the market for construction materials appeared wing absorbers fitted to the edges of the ceilings.
Classification of suspended ceilings
The ceilings are classified in several ways: by functional features, in design and materials.
Functional ceiling
Functional ceilings are designed to address a narrow range of tasks. They are fireproof, waterproof, acoustic, hygienic, impact-resistant.
Structures Ceiling
Suspended ceilings can be modular and continuous.
Modular ceilings
Modular ceilings are quite common. They are composed of modules (tiles, panels, rails, etc.) that are interconnected. The framework of such ceilings can be hidden or, conversely, is highlighted. These ceilings are easy to install, and any damaged item they can be quickly replaced by a new one.
The solid ceilings
Ceiling Materials
The main materials used in the production of modules for suspended ceilings, is: metal (steel or aluminum), mineral fiber, gypsum board, wood, plastic, fiber reinforced gypsum, fiberboard, veneer finish DSP or laminate under the "tree".
