How to hem a finishing ceiling yourself. How to make a rough ceiling on wooden beams with your own hands

When building a country estate, its future owners need to decide how to make a ceiling in a private house so that it is both warm and attractive. There are several options for solving the problem, but most often developers choose either cold attic or residential attic.

As an example, the article will consider the installation of a ceiling in a private house with a gable roof, when beams of 100x100 millimeters - 200x200 millimeters are placed on top of the walls. Height attic space allows you to use it as an attic, which can be used as a living room or a cold utility room. It is only important to understand how to hem the ceiling with a board correctly.

It is necessary to do, depending on how you plan to use the free space under the roof:

• for residential attic room- decent ceiling and sound insulation, warm flooring (read: "");
• for a cold room - the most important point is good thermal insulation.

When installing the ceiling in the house, you need to remember that warm air always tends to rise and most of it leaves the building through the roof, so this great importance has a quality, you can not save on this.

Ceiling device when the attic is residential

At the same time, you should not forget that:

• at least 2 nails are required to fasten each board;
• fasteners are driven in “into the spacer”, so that the angle with respect to the vertical of the edge of the board is 45 degrees. Due to the fact that the nail sews the boards together, it does not allow the seam to open when the wood dries.

Step two - floor insulation . For this:

• a vapor barrier layer is laid in the gap between the beams on the draft ceiling. Glassine is used to create it, but polyethylene, the most common film, is also suitable. It is necessary because soundproof material should not fall into the gaps between the boards and not absorb moisture;
• used for soundproofing mineral wool 100 mm thick. In practice, a mixture of sawdust and lime or dry sand is often also used as a quality. The size of the soundproofing layer should be about ¾ of the height of the beam;
• waterproofing the ceiling in a private house in this case is not required, but when using mineral wool, its layer will not give fine fibers insulating material get into the air.

Step Three - Create floor covering .

This stage suggests:

• laying logs and laying flooring. It is advisable to use boards with a thickness of 30-40 millimeters. Also use OSB or plywood, laying in one thick layer or two, but with overlapping seams more thin sheet;
• then they reinforce the exit point to the attic with a beam, the thickness of which should be similar to this parameter for the beams. In the event that the attic is temporarily not used, the exit to it is covered with a shield in order to reduce heat loss.

Fixing the ceiling when the attic is cold

When the building is one-story, and only the roof is on top, the ceiling installation in a private house is performed as follows.

Step one - filing the ceiling . This requires a shield of boards. The material for it are ordinary edged or tongue-and-groove boards having a thickness of 25 millimeters or more. They are fastened "in the thrust" with long nails, leaving minimal gaps. Tongue-and-groove boards are hemmed with a groove from the wall from which the installation starts.

When deciding what to make a ceiling in a private house from, you can opt for filing it in another way - with plywood or OSB, at least 15 millimeters thick (read: ""). But it should be borne in mind that in terms of one "square" this option it turns out much more expensive and the possibility of sagging of the structure under its own weight and the weight of the insulation increases.

As an alternative in private homes old building a board shield can be placed not below the beams, but laid on top of them. Thus, the height of the rooms will not be reduced, and the living space will not decrease. If necessary, you can make a crate. You should not worry about the appearance of the rough floor, since the fine finishing of the ceiling in a private house will cover the surface, and the beams painted in desired color, will decorate the interior of the room.

Step two - vapor barrier of the floor . First of all, you should take care of the vapor barrier. On the one hand, this layer should not allow the heat-insulating material to become damp, and on the other hand, it should reduce heat loss due to radiation. This can be achieved with aluminum foil. Also, foil insulation based on foamed polyethylene is used as a vapor barrier - this relatively recently appeared obstacle to heat loss, due to both radiation and convection. When a chimney is laid in the ceiling, there must be a distance of at least 30 centimeters between the chimney and combustible material.

The most popular among them are:

Clean ceiling finish

The installation of the ceiling in a private house is being completed, when the attic is not planned to be used, with a fine finish. Which option is better to use depends on the height of the rooms. When finishing the ceiling in country house with a ceiling height of 2.7 meters or more, you can make a crate on a shield of boards, and if it is located above the beams, then directly on them.

In the event that the ceilings are low, the boards are laid, as previously mentioned, on top of the floor beams, and the final ceiling is placed between them from below. In this situation, you can not do the crate, since different materials are successfully attached to the tree and it does not need to be set horizontally. Beams perfectly make invisible minor bumps(read also: "What to make the ceiling in the house of").

You should not use a wide baguette; a narrow L-shaped profile is used for edging PVC products. At the same time, experts advise fixing the panels perpendicular to the beams, and then the waste finishing material will be less. There are different types of ceiling finishes in the house, but the best choice will become glossy panels white color with hidden seam. When buying this finishing material, preference should be given to products with maximum width. When the ceiling is hemmed between the beams, then they are painted in dark colors.

decorate ceilings decorative beams It is possible not only in private houses, but also in apartments. As additional element when creating an interior, they practice the installation of lamps. They are styled antique and hung directly from ceiling beams, but provided that the height of the room allows this.

It is used in a country house and whitewashing the ceiling using chalk or lime.

Also in private households, painting of ceiling surfaces is carried out - today in trading network presented a large number of most different colors designed for decorating rooms. Often used in cottages and wallpapering ceilings, glass wall papers have proven themselves well.

Ceilings by wooden beams meet as in the old apartment buildings and in private low-rise construction. Unlike concrete floors such ceilings provide a huge scope for imagination, they can become the basis for decor in any style.

Features of the installation of ceilings on beams

As floor beams are usually used timber with a section of 150x150 or 150x200 or boards sewn together 50x150 or 150x100. These materials provide sufficient strength and allow you to make a binder from almost any material.

Overlappings can be interfloor or attic. In the first case, they share heated rooms, so only its sound insulation is required. It is performed using mineral or basalt wool, which additionally have thermal insulation properties. IN attic floors a sufficient layer of thermal insulation is required.

To protect the insulation from moisture vapor and liquid leaks, vapor and waterproofing is also necessary. It is made using special films from nonwoven fabric. The ceiling pie is shown in the figure.

Purpose of the elements of the ceiling cake:

• vapor barrier film prevents the penetration of moisture vapor from inside the room;
• crate of slats, on which the finishing filing is later mounted;
• sound or heat insulation in the form of mats or plates;
• waterproofing - vapor-permeable diffusion membrane.

With such an arrangement of floors decorative trim the ceiling will be protected from deformation, moisture and condensation, regardless of the material chosen.

Hem decorative ceiling covering can be done in two ways:

• completely sewing up and hiding the beams under the trim;
• using them as a decorative element.

In the case of filing from below, insulation and sound insulation are laid between the beams. From below, a vapor barrier and a finished ceiling are hemmed, and from above - a waterproofing membrane and the floor of the upper floor or attic. This method is used with a sufficient ceiling height, when there is no need to save space.

When using beams in ceiling decoration fine finish laid on top of the beams or hemmed to the bars fixed on their side surface. The vapor barrier is laid on top of the beams, the floor logs are placed on top, and the insulation is laid between them. A layer of waterproofing and floors are laid on top.

In this case, the beams can be additionally lined with a board and painted in suitable shade. Using this technique, you can make a stylish ceiling without reducing its height - it will not press and visually reduce the space.

Ceiling lining materials

After properly installing ceilings, you can veneer the ceiling with almost any material.

The most popular of them:

• board or lining;
• plastic panels;
• MDF panels;
• drywall;
• stretch ceilings made of fabric or PVC film;
• ceiling tiles.

An interesting effect is also given by the combination of different materials, for example, drywall with clapboard or stretch ceilings. By combining different textures, you can achieve not only interesting design, but also to make the ceiling more practical, hide the defects of the beams and highlight the advantages of the room.

original version - plasterboard ceiling with protruding beams

natural wood

For sheathing the ceiling, high-quality softwood or hardwood is used: lining, block house, imitation timber or an ordinary edged board. This finish will fit well into the interior, if the walls are fully or partially sheathed with natural wood.

Sheathing the ceiling with a board is quite simple. Insofar as wooden floors and sheathing have the same coefficient of thermal expansion, boards can be fixed directly to the beams with self-tapping screws or nails.

Important! To prolong the service life, wood trim handle special formulations, paint or fire the wood, followed by varnishing.

Material advantages:

• low price;
• goes well with other finishing materials;
• installation is easy to do with your own hands;
• environmentally friendly material;
• can be dyed in any shade.

• requires regular treatment or painting to protect against aging;
• fire hazardous.

plastic panels

This finish is well suited for rooms in which it is possible high humidity: bathroom, kitchen, loggia or balcony. Plastic is not afraid of condensate and water splashes.

Ceiling trim plastic panels easy enough to do. Panels are mounted on special guides or on self-tapping screws directly to the beams only if they are well aligned and in the same plane. If you want to level the height, rails are attached to the beams from below, and panels are mounted on them.

Separate strips are connected using a thorn-groove lock, due to which a flat surface is created without cracks and gaps. If you lubricate the connections silicone sealant, you can create a vapor-tight skin.

Important! When finishing with plastic, a device is required exhaust ventilation otherwise condensation may form.

Material advantages:

• low price and a wide range of shades;
• light weight, no load on the floors;
• does not require coloring or processing;
• panels are not afraid of moisture, do not rot, wash well with warm water.

• plastic is flammable, it is undesirable to use it in rooms with stove heating;
• the material is brittle, chipping and damage are possible.

MDF panels

The difference between MDF panels and plastic ones is that they do not tolerate moisture and deform when wet. Therefore, they cannot be used in the bathroom and on the balcony. MDF panels often imitate the texture of wood, so they can be used instead of lining or boards, since their processing and fitting are much easier, and their weight is less. They are fastened similarly to plastic ones directly on beams or slats.

Material advantages:

• inexpensive and easy to process;
• good thermal insulation properties;
• light weight.

• fade when exposed to direct sunlight;
• due to their small thickness, they are prone to sagging, they need to be fixed in increments of no more than 60 cm, it may be necessary to erect an additional frame.

Drywall

This material is very popular not only for ordinary ceiling decoration, but also for creating multi-level structures with built-in lights. With it, you can sew up niches between the beams or completely hide them and create an absolutely even coating.

Plasterboard ceilings are puttied and painted with water-based interior paints in any desired shade. The ceiling, trimmed with GKL sheets, fits well into different interior that's why he's so popular. Plasterboard finishing can be combined with wood or stretch ceilings.

Mounting drywall on the ceiling is more difficult than wood or panels. Due to the different coefficient of thermal expansion and big size sheets cannot be attached directly to the beams. Drywall is mounted on special suspensions and guides that have a flexible connection with the ceiling beams.

Important! In rooms with stove heating or a fireplace, it is better to use fire-resistant drywall that does not support combustion.

Material advantages:

• it is inexpensive;
• easy to process and allows you to create any design, including curvilinear;
• easily dyed in any shade;
• the material breathes and does not contribute to the formation of condensate;
• goes well with any finish.

• rather heavy construction creates a load on the floors;
• afraid of water leaks, deforms and soaks;
• brittle material, it can break on impact.

Stretch ceiling

With the help of stretch ceilings, it is possible to completely close the beams or niches between them, while the structures are fastened to the walls. Stretch ceilings are rich in textures, shades and shapes, allow you to install built-in lights and hide ceiling defects. You can use them in combination with other types of finishes.

It is not easy to mount stretch ceilings on your own, therefore, for a quality finish, it is better to resort to the help of professionals. They will help you choose the material and design, as well as mount the lighting.

Important! When installing stretch ceilings, ventilation of the subceiling space must be ensured, otherwise condensation may occur.

Advantages of stretch ceilings:

• richness of textures, shades and shapes;
• durability and strength;
• the material is not afraid of moisture and leaks;
• does not require painting and finishing, it is easy to clean;
• goes well with types of finishes.

• rather expensive material;
• installation requires skills and special equipment.

The cheapest, but short-lived option. The tile is lightweight, easy to mount with glue, but due to small sizes may require the installation of additional crates.

Important! Ceiling tiles burns well, while emitting toxic substances and acrid smoke. Do not use it in houses with stove heating!

Material advantages:

• light weight;
• low price;
• not afraid of water;
• simple installation.

• fire hazardous;
• breaks easily;
• looks pretty cheap.

Combination of finishes

To create a unique interior, you can combine some types of finishes. The combination of different types of ceiling sheathing along the beams is shown in the table.

Table. A combination of different types of ceiling finishes.

Main skin material	Additional materials
Wood	It goes well with drywall and stretch ceilings when creating multi-level structures. In this case, beams or individual niches are trimmed with wood.
Plastic panels and MDF panels	They can be used for partial ceiling cladding in niches between beams, while the beams themselves are finished with wood or moisture-resistant drywall.
Drywall	Combined with wood and stretch ceilings, two- or three-level structures look good.
Stretch ceiling	Wood, drywall. Fragments of a stretch ceiling can fill the niches between the beams or highlight individual zones.
	Can be used for partial finishing of ceiling niches in combination with wood.

Do-it-yourself ceiling mounting technology on beams

The installation of the ceiling takes place in several stages, which should not be neglected - this can worsen the appearance and affect the life of the ceiling. Before starting work, you should calculate and purchase all necessary materials and prepare the instrument.

Beam processing

Before proceeding with the lining of the ceiling, it is necessary to treat the beams with a complex impregnation for wood - fire and bioprotection - and then dry them thoroughly. This will increase their service life and eliminate rotting, insect damage and deterioration in bearing capacity.

In order for the ceiling to be even, the beams must be checked with a laser level or with a twine stretched between the extreme beams and diagonally across the room. In case of significant irregularities, alignment should be performed.

With a continuous lining of the ceiling along the lower plane of the beams, you can make a flat ceiling using a counter-lattice. For its installation, you will need a bar 40x60 or 50x50 or a drywall profile.

The beams from below are closed with a film vapor barrier, fixing it with a construction stapler. The joints are overlapped and glued with metallic tape.

A bar is attached to the beams in the transverse direction with the help of self-tapping screws. Small irregularities can be leveled with wooden spacers between the bar and the beam. If the difference between the beams is significant, it is better to use U-shaped drywall brackets.

With partial sewing of niches between the beams, on both sides of the beams, bars are fastened in level to self-tapping screws. The vapor barrier is laid from the side of the upper floor over the beams. The lining is hemmed to the bars, and the beams themselves are leveled with a finishing board or imitation of a bar.

Sheathing is carried out directly along the beams or along the leveling counter-lattice, starting from the more visible wall of the room.

1. Measure out the board desired length in place or with a tape measure. Cut off with an electric jigsaw from the wrong side - so the cut on the outside will be smoother.
2. The board is attached to screws or nails. The first board is fixed at all intersections with the counter-lattice. To make the attachment point invisible, you can use one of the techniques indicated in the figure.
3. A tongue-and-groove facing board or lining is knocked up to full connection tongue and groove lock wooden mallet or through a bar, after which they are fixed to the outer bars of the crate. To intermediate bars can be attached in a checkerboard pattern through one to avoid unnecessary damage to the board.
4. After the entire ceiling has been sewn up, the joints with the wall are trimmed with plinths made of wood or polymer.
5. The board is coated with water-based paint or impregnation for wood.

If only the niches between the beams are sewn up with a board, the trim is attached to pre-nailed bars. The rest of the filing technology is the same. In a similar way, the ceiling is hemmed with plastic and MDF panels, but in order to avoid chipping of the material, it is recommended to pre-drill holes of small diameter in the panels at the attachment point.

The main difference from boarding is the need to use a special galvanized drywall profile to avoid deformation of the ceiling.

1. The profile is fastened with hangers or U-shaped brackets along the beams, the transverse profiles are fixed so that a crate is created with dimensions that allow joining the GKL sheets on the profile.
2. Drywall sheets are cut with a sharp knife, hacksaw or jigsaw.
3. Fasten the drywall to the crate with self-tapping screws, trying to drown them into the material by 1 mm.
4. The joints between the sheets are puttied using a sickle tape, sanded and puttyed again with a finishing putty. Also overwrite the attachment points on self-tapping screws and other irregularities.
5. Paint the ceiling with acrylic or water-based interior paint using a roller. After drying, you can apply a second layer for a more even tone.

Types of beam ceiling sheathing can be combined to create a unique style and design. Under the skin, you can place not only insulation and sound insulation, but also communications: electrical wiring, ventilation ducts, pipes.

Properly mounted sheathing and ceilings reliably protect against extraneous sounds and heat leaks, and if you show imagination, you can give the room a unique design and comfort with the help of ceiling finishes.

Video - How to hem a ceiling on wooden beams

A wooden house always looks attractive from the street side, but in order to achieve the same attractiveness and comfort indoors, you need to carefully consider the finishing of all surfaces in the house, including the ceiling on wooden beams. Therefore, in this article we will talk about how to hem the ceiling on wooden beams.

Ceilings on wooden beams can easily be found in modern buildings. But, modern design involves the design of the design of the room, which includes the ceiling space of the rooms. Therefore, it is extremely important to deal with questions of how to hem wooden floors for arranging a draft ceiling in wooden house.

If you do all the work in accordance with current trends and using modern materials the room will look stylish and at the same time it will be comfortable, warm and cozy. Gathering in such a room with friends and family will be very pleasant.

Materials used for filing the ceiling on wooden beams

There are several options for finishing materials that can be used for finishing filing the ceiling on wooden beams:

Despite the diversity modern methods sheathing, filing beams with drywall still occupies a leading position among the methods of finishing the ceiling space in a wooden house. Professional builders quite often used given material for interior design.

Thanks to the diversity various forms, which can be created using GKL sheets, it becomes possible to create a unique design of the room and achieve coziness and comfort.

From GKL, you can create unusual multi-level structures or even combine it with other materials, achieving a unique finish, and hence the uniqueness of the design of the room.

The material looks great and complements any interior, placing accents on individual parts using built-in spotlights.

Lighting devices can be arranged in such a ceiling in absolutely any order and quantity, and the electrical wiring can be safely hidden under the false ceiling structure.

After fixing the GKL panels and after a little preliminary preparation, such a ceiling can be painted, wallpapered or covered decorative plaster. All options are acceptable for decorating the ceiling space.

The disadvantage of such a ceiling in a wooden house can be its poor moisture resistance and instability to various influences. As you know, a tree has the properties to "move" over time. Having accumulated moisture or when the house shrinks, the beams can sag or move, which will have a very negative effect on the GKL structure. The material may lose its external qualities, crack or gain moisture, which will require its complete or partial replacement and a new installation of the ceiling.

In a wooden house, you want all finishing materials to be as environmentally friendly and natural as logs and floor beams. In this case, a wooden lining is an excellent option for filing the ceiling.

Of course, such a ceiling will not please with a variety of forms and levels, but such a ceiling will harmoniously fit into the interior. wooden house and is perfect for decorating the ceiling in any room. In addition, it does not require particularly careful pre-training black ceiling.

The construction of the lining will reliably hide the electrical wiring and communication pipes. If necessary, the panels can be easily dismantled and mounted by hand, without requiring the help of specialists.

With the help of wood trim, you can decorate the room in any style, while this type of finish will feel great even when the house “moves” and shrinks.

Reliable lock system lining initially provides for surface roughness and easily perceives the shrinkage of logs.

The lining after installation can be varnished or painted, complementing the interior of the room and filling it with color and style. Many modern designers use wooden lining to create amazing interiors that will appeal to anyone, even the most sophisticated and demanding consumer.

Stretch ceilings are by far one of the most popular types of ceiling space finishing, including in wooden houses with wooden beams.

The undoubted advantage of such a finish is the absence of the need for careful preparation of the draft ceiling.

Besides, stretch ceiling easily able to hide defects in the draft ceiling, communication pipes and various wires.

Among other things, the tension structure can be supplemented with a drywall box, various lighting fixtures or a pattern, photo printing. All this can create an unforgettable unique atmosphere in the room, complementing it with bright details.

Can be easily installed in a stretch ceiling different kinds lighting fixtures(spotlights, chandelier, sconce, LED Strip Light etc.) in any order and quantity necessary to decorate the chosen style of the room.

If the ceiling height allows, the stretch ceiling can be made multi-level, placing accents and visually dividing the room into different functional areas.

Wooden are not only residential buildings, but also garages and baths. And it also requires high-quality design of the ceiling space. In the garage in a good way finishing will be the strengthening of profiled sheets on the ceiling.

This material will not ensure the beauty of the room, but it will serve reliably and long years. In addition, this type of finishing material is very pleasant in price and has good performance properties.

Plastic panels are a great option for finishing the ceiling in the garage. It is moisture resistant, not prone to the formation of mold and fungus, which is extremely important for the design of an unheated room.

In addition, this material is quite cheap, has a wide range of colors and textures and is extremely easy to install.

You do not have to resort to the help of professional installers to fix PVC panels on the ceiling. It is quite possible to do it qualitatively and with your own hands.

The only disadvantage of such a coating will be its instability to mechanical stress. If the ceiling in the room is low enough to be reached by hand, then plastic lining is unlikely to work, as it can be easily damaged.

plywood sheets

Another of the most environmentally friendly materials for finishing the ceiling in a wooden house can be plywood. This coating looks neat and even.

Wooden beams are structures that are found not only in private houses, but also in old buildings of a 3-5-story type. To make the ceiling surface even and suitable for finishing cladding, it is necessary to make a high-quality rough ceiling on wooden beams. Works are available for do-it-yourself with minimum set tools and materials.

Before hemming the ceiling surface, you should understand the layers that make up the interfloor overlap in a wooden house.

Overlay layers from top to bottom:

1. Most upper layer- boardwalk, which can be the basis under top coat or perform cleaning functions.
2. Vapor barrier membrane is a required layer. Membrane fabric prevents the formation of condensation on wooden structures, prevents the formation of wet areas, mold and fungus growth.
3. Thermal insulation. Fits in any case, regardless of whether the premises are residential or not above the floor. If the attic is not residential, the energy efficiency of the house increases, residential - the sound insulation of the floors increases.
4. Waterproofing. The layer is designed to protect the insulation and wooden structures from moisture. If you do not lay waterproofing, moist air, hot steam, rising to the ceiling, will destroy thermal insulation material– which will reduce the practical characteristics of the product.
5. Draft ceiling- the last layer, which is finished with a finishing lining.

Sometimes boardwalk is left unfinished, especially when planks are used. good quality. If, after the arrangement of the ceilings, the flooring is to be laid on the floor above, then a layer of vapor barrier is laid on top of the insulation, then a wooden floor base can be laid.

How to hem a rough ceiling on wooden beams

The range of products is wide, so when choosing how to hem the ceiling in a private house, you should pay attention to the interior design of the room:

• ceiling sheet materials: chipboard, fiberboard, plywood;
• plastic decor resists moisture well, but you will have to make high-quality vapor barrier to prevent condensation from accumulating;
• wood will become the best choice affordable in price and quality.

In rooms with changes in humidity levels, temperature fluctuations, resinous wood should not be chosen so that the resin does not drip down when released. Suitable for ceiling lining edged boards, the price of which is from $ 80 per m3, plywood will cost less - from $ 2.6 per sheet.

Tools and materials for work

To get the job done you will need:

• board 25 mm;
• fasteners: nails or self-tapping screws 45-55 mm;
• cranial timber for arranging boards above beams;
• sheets of mineral wool for insulation or mineral wool with dry sawdust in a ratio of 50:50;
• waterproofing (film) and vapor barrier membrane.

If the filing of the ceiling on wooden beams is made with plywood, a rail and bars will come in handy for decorating the frame from the crate.

Of the tools come in handy: a saw or a jigsaw, a hammer, a stapler, a screwdriver, a pencil, a tape measure, a construction or laser level, square, strong support or stepladder. You will also need to stock up on funds. personal protection: gloves, mask.

Advice! The board is a more practical material - there is no need to buy additional slats for the crate. Fastening boards is made directly on the beams, it is stronger and cheaper.

Boarding ceiling boards

Having figured out how to hem the ceiling along wooden beams, you need to know how to do it.

Algorithm of work on the installation of a wooden subfloor:

• fix the boards on the logs with screws or nails;
• lay insulation, waterproofing material on top of the flooring.

Attention! It is important to prepare the boards according to the size of the ceiling so that there are no gaps or gaps during fastening.

The option of fastening the boards from the bottom of the log is the simplest, but in this case the beams are covered, it is difficult to get to them, if necessary. It is much better to sheathe the logs with a board on top.

Stages of work:

• fix the cranial bars on the beams;
• lay boards on a bar;
• lay out sheets of heat, vapor barrier, and materials can be laid out both above and below the boards;
• close the structure with plywood or other material.

In this case, the logs and the cranial bar will be visible and will become a good decor for the room.

On a note! All elements made of wood must be properly dried, pre-treated with impregnations from rot, bugs, and fire.

Ceiling lining with plywood

This option requires the arrangement of a crate, which will become a frame for mounting plywood sheets. When choosing how to hem the ceiling, it is worth evaluating the evenness of the surface - plywood sheets on the crate help to hide all the flaws in the evenness of the ceiling.

Advice! The option with plywood is chosen by the owners of houses, where the ceilings still retain their strength qualities, but have lost their aesthetic appeal. In addition, this design will withstand a thick layer of insulation.

Work is carried out in the following order:

• fix the vapor barrier membrane on the beams with a stapler;
• from above, form a frame from a bar (40x60 mm) with a step equal to half a plywood sheet;
• hem sheets of plywood on the crate, fasteners with self-tapping screws around the entire perimeter and crosswise;
• lay sheets of insulation.

You can lay out insulation between the crate timber, and then hem the plywood - the choice remains with the owner. The main thing is that the sheets of material fit together without gaps and align the horizontal level of the frame to obtain a flat ceiling plane.

Is it necessary to process the draft ceiling

Having figured out how to hem the ceiling in a wooden house, you should not forget that the design requires additional protection, especially if there are fluctuations in humidity levels in the room. Processing includes the following steps: sanding for smoothness, puttying the seams between the sheets and fastener points. As soon as putty mixture dry, sand the surface again and treat with impregnation with antiseptic and antiprene.

If the ceiling will be sewn up with plasterboard, they are mounted on the rough ceiling metal profiles, on which it is then sewn sheet material. And you can leave the plywood coating without decor, impregnated with tinting impregnation, matte or glossy varnish, paints.

Hemmed ceiling construction is ideal for those who are looking for an inexpensive finish that will feature quality material and beautiful appearance. To do the finishing with your own hands, you need to know the main stages of work. The installation method will depend on the chosen finishing material. It can be plastic, wood, drywall. You need to know how to hem the ceiling, given that each material has its own characteristics.

The hemming structure is the attachment of the frame to ceiling plate. The characteristic of this attachment is minimum cost space. The most common materials make it easy to cope with the installation of even inexperienced performers.

Types of materials for false ceiling:

• Drywall. The material is easy to process, so you can easily mount it yourself. Its low cost allows you to make registration with minimal cash costs.
• Plastic. The material is moisture resistant, which makes it popular in the design of the kitchen and bathroom. Installation is easy to perform.
• Wood. Eco-friendly material, the installation of which involves some additional steps. Wood is a material that is easily subject to rotting, fungus and mold. The tree does not have moisture resistant properties, therefore, it requires additional processing with special protective preparations.
• . Expensive material, which in its appearance resembles a wooden finish, is moisture resistant.

When choosing a material, one should take into account the overall interior of the room, its temperature conditions, price category, installation method.

It is important to distinguish between hemming and suspended structures. Their main difference is the installation technology. Suspended construction involves the use of suspension systems, while hemmed construction is attached directly to the ceiling.

After choosing a material, you can go to preparatory work and the installation of the hemming structure itself.

How to sheathe the ceiling in the house inside: the best options

Also practical and beautiful option the ceiling will be covered with plasterboard. And the most common and expensive option is ceiling sheathing with stretch fabrics.

How to make plasterboard ceiling lining with your own hands

The most common cladding option is the installation of plasterboard panels. Drywall is a reliable material that is easy to install, has a smooth surface, and looks beautiful. Installation is easy even for a beginner.

Required tool:

• Hammer;
• Drill;
• Forceps;
• stapler;
• Staple holder;
• Dowel.

You will also need the following materials: UPK glue, spikes, slats, screws, nails, wooden frame planks.

Step by Step

• The first step is to mark the ceiling. Determine the height of the ceiling by marking the walls.
• Drive nails into the corners of the ceiling structure.
• Stretch the twine to determine the center of the ceiling.
• Install guide profiles, focusing on the markup. In place of the marks, make holes with a puncher, insert plastic dowels.
• Install ceiling profiles, fix them with self-tapping screws.
• Conduct communications.
• Attach drywall sheets to the frame with self-tapping screws.

During installation, it may be necessary to cut the drywall to the correct size. This is easy to do, since drywall is a malleable material.

When installing, it is important to remember that the suspensions must be mounted under each profile. The place for mounting the profiles is located in the place where the suspensions are located. When fastening, it is important to take into account the takeoff step for profiles and suspensions.
