How to make a stretch ceiling

Modern stretch ceilings are very close to similar antique times designs. For example, in ancient Rome, a special method was used for them, which was stretched below the main ceiling, and when dried, it was compressed, giving a smooth smooth surface. For a long time, stretch ceilings were undeservedly forgotten, and in 1967 they received a second birth due to the appearance of elastic fabrics made of polyvinyl chloride. If you want to see and use all the advantages of the stretch ceiling, let's collect it yourself.

1
First of all, it is necessary to choose the height of the design. In all its area, it must maintain a strictly horizontal level. After that, in the corners of the walls of the room, you need to make marks for the correct installation of the ceiling. They are performed using a pencil and a long transparent tube filled with water. "Water keeps the horizon" - so the builders say, and they are right, the law of world community has not been canceled.

Ready? Go to the next stage. Now as an assistant, choose a special painting cord. It has a type of roulette in the case, filled with colored dust. Its length must correspond to the longitudinal size of the wall. With this device, alternately connect our marks. Make sure that the cord is well stretched. Then, by clicking on the wall, we get traces in the form of straight lines. These are landmarks for installing the ceiling frame.

Preparation for her guide profiles. They need to be measured in accordance with the length of the wall. If a whole profile is greater than it, you can cut it up to half in the transverse direction with scissors for metal and bend. Now he enters any angle. To reliably fasten the profile to the wall in it, it is necessary to drill with a 10 cm pitch under a dowel. Details are ready, you can proceed to the installation of the ceiling.

Fresh all profiles to the wall. This is done with a perforator. For drywall walls, additional strengthening of the structure is required, which is achieved by using wedges with a length of 15-20 cm made from profile residues. They are attached to the ceiling, tightly pressing the profile to the wall. So that the stretch ceiling does not hit, it is necessary to do. In order to avoid damage to the film material, sharp edges of the frame joints, creeps aluminum paper.

Then you need to hang on a special clips in each corner and start the ceiling canvase scan. His corner parts are susceptible to clips. Now you can turn on the burner and warm the cloth. Here you need special attentiveness. Film material is very afraid of fire. Based on this, its warming in one place should not last more than 5 minutes. Otherwise, he melts. In order not to break the matter, it is gradually fastened. Secure 10-15 cm on one wall, then go to another, making the same thing. So move in a circle until the ceiling is completely readily.

Finally, a small advice. With a random small cutting of the film material, use the latch that is attached to the ceiling kit. Stick it to the "wound" superclaim and forget after a couple of minutes about this annoying case. On this all, summarize!
