Self-installing stretch ceiling

Despite some features of the technology of installing tension ceilings to produce it yourself, it is quite realistic. The price of this material is quite noticeable, therefore for those whose budget is modest, the probability of saving on paying specialists seems very attractive.

Before assembling it is necessary to think over the question of lighting the room. Wiring should be put in order, and if necessary, and replace it, prepare the area for mounting fixtures. When installing stretch ceilings, wizards do not recommend the use of lamps with more than 50 watts of power. After completing all the electrical works, you can be mistaken for the installation of suspended ceilings.

First, you need to fix the profile on the ceiling or on the walls (depending on the way the canvas is installed). In the case where the profile is attached to the wall, you need to install the lowest point of your ceiling (since ideal ceilings are extremely rare, the differences in height sometimes reach several centimeters). Moving a little distance from the bottom point, using the level, you need to draw a horizontal line along the entire perimeter of the room. Ceiling profile is attached very tightly to the ceiling. At the same time, the profile should be pressed against the wall. For greater convenience, it can first be glued, while focusing on the marked marks, and then and secure with screws. Screws should be placed at the same distance from each other.

The best temperature for installing such ceilings is considered to be 45-50 degrees, so the room must be warmed, and during the installation, make sure that it does not fall down (for stretch ceilings from the fabric, it is not necessary to comply with these conditions).

With the help of a construction hair dryer or heat gun, the film should be heated to 60 ° C. This will increase its elasticity, which will avoid damage to the blade during its stretching. Stretch ceilings are fixed crosswise in the corners. The most difficult task in this process is to fix the last corner. After all the corners are fixed, by stretching the fabric, we fix it in the profile (the step must be no more than 70-80 mm). Having carried out this procedure, we proceed to fix the film along the entire perimeter. To do this, use a spatula.

To spread the stripes and folds on the canvas, it should be heated with a construction hair dryer, making circular motions. And when the room is set to normal temperature, the ceiling will be stretched and will be perfectly smooth and smooth. When the ceiling is already ready in the canvas, cut out the holes, and their edges are pasted with insulating rings. Lamps must be installed in such a way as to prevent the lamp from contacting the canvas.
