How to install ceilings from plastic panels with your own hands?
Ceilings of plastic panels with their own hands - it's possible and not at all difficult even for a beginner in this matter. Let's consider all the characteristic nuances of the given process.
In a modern interior, the ceilings made of plastic panels, installed by their own hands, are quite a popular solution. They can be seen in any institution. But other than that, they perfectly fit into the interior of any apartment.
In order to mount ceilings from plastic panels with your own hands, you need a puncher, a screwdriver, metal shears, a hacksaw, a knife and a stool (a device for cutting material at a certain angle). You will also need a special adhesive for fixing the plinth, screws, hangers, profile and plastic corners.
To finish this coating, you need to mount a structure that would look like a honeycomb.
1. First, the distance from the frame to the ceiling is calculated. To install it you need in view of future lighting or built-in ventilation. If there is spotlighting, then the distance from the old ceiling to the new one should be 15 cm. In this space there will be electrical wiring, which will need to be fixed to the ceiling so that there is no ignition. If there is ventilation under the plastic panels, the calculation is made differently.
3. Now we cut off the required length from the rack profile and attach the self-tapping screws to the main structure, which have increased strength. They will ensure a reliable fastening of the entire structure. In order to fix this structure to the ceiling, direct suspensions are required.
4. The lining of the ceiling with plastic panels always starts from the corner. The first panel is pressed tightly to the corner. After which it is fixed with screws to the profile. The second panel is inserted into the grooves of the first and fixed to the frame by the same specified fasteners. In this way we mount all other plastic panels. And the transitions are closed with moldings.
5. After fixing the required number of panels from all sides of the ceiling, mount the plastic corners. Then you need to fix the skirting board. To do this, we apply a special glue to it. Press the plinth to the ceiling and hold it a bit. When there is excess glue, we remove them.
6. To give a better appearance and strength, we apply a special agent to the ceiling (or lamination can be done). This is the final stage.
