The ceiling is Armstrong. Installation of the structure

Currently, when building and repairing various types of premises, the Armstrong suspension ceiling has become very popular, the installation of which is much easier and more practical than installing a coating of plastic or plasterboard panels. This is his important advantage. Installation of a false ceiling type "Armstrong" can master almost everyone who does not have special skills in repairing the premises. Let us consider this process in more detail.

Ceiling Armstrong: installation of the coating

1. Initially, you should lay out all the communications that you plan to conduct under the false ceiling. The choice of the suspension system depends on the weight of the built-in devices.
2. Then we mark out the future false ceiling. Using the marker level in all corners of the room, we draw a notch (between them should be 60 cm). After that, the distance from the floor to the data points is measured. The lowest mark will serve as a guide for adjusting the ceiling height. It must be remembered that the gap between the present and the hanging ceiling should not exceed 15 cm. This distance is necessary for the successful installation of the luminaires.
3. After that, the marked points are connected by means of a tracer, through which the corner profile 19/24 is drilled, while placing it is necessary so that it contacts the wall with its long side. It should also be done cutting the outer and inner angles using scissors on metal at an inclination of 45 degrees.
4. Next, you need to install the hangers. Do not forget that they should be placed below the established angular profiles, otherwise you will have to cut off the extra length of the Bulgarian and take a chamfer to insert the butterfly spring. The suspensions are fastened by means of drive dowels. To simplify the installation of the guide profiles, all hooks must be bent in one direction on the suspensions.
5. The next stage when installing a coating such as the ceiling "Armstrong" - the installation of the frame. To do this, you need guide profiles, they are attached to the suspension. They are placed at a distance of 60 cm from each other. After mounting the rail, we attach a transverse profile to them at a similar distance. As a result, you should get a grid with squares of 60x60 cm.
6. The final stage is laying the ceiling slabs. This process is carried out at a humidity of no more than 70%. Stacking is performed on the arrows marked on the underside of the plates. This procedure is carried out after all the repairs in the room have already been made. This is due to the fact that the ceiling can absorb the building dust and lose its appearance. Due to humidity fluctuations inside the room, the slabs can be bent.

Tip

It should be noted that when installing the ceiling of Armstrong, the installation of electrical wiring and ventilation must be done before the work on fixing the first suspension is started. Also, you should additionally purchase a few spare slabs in case of deterioration (mechanical damage) of old ones. Naturally, you need to do this in advance. Nobody will give you a guarantee that the model of the slab you are buying for your Armstrong-type ceiling will not be discontinued.

Conclusion

As you can see, installation of the Armstrong suspension ceiling is not that difficult either. The installation instructions for the false ceiling are detailed in our article, so if you wish, you can do it yourself without the help of professionals. Note also that, due to the simplicity of the construction, repair of such a coating also will not cause you special difficulties.
