As soon as the house becomes necessary to repair, the first question that comes to mind masters, beating them all desire to transformation, it sounds about the same: "What to do with the ceiling?" Really, the problem is complicated. Just remember the experience of previous repairs, and before his eyes covered with a film having the floors and furniture, lapped by the flow of liquid plaster-covered mountains or dry paint peeled off by hand, tightly eats into the smallest crack. In addition, this whole messy nightmare would be to suffer, knowing that the result would justify the hope of receiving high-quality smooth coating, which could be at least ten years not to worry. But there it was. Practice shows that to achieve a really good effect in our homes, initially at random laid concrete slabs, very few people can. Even using the latest plastering mixtures do not always give a good result, especially in the hands of amateurs, mostly and make such repairs. So do not be surprised if your brand new shiny white ceiling just a few months back will be covered with cracks in the treacherous field joints of concrete slabs. RAW WIND CEILING probably in our country, despite the difficulties of balancing the ceilings, the traditional way of whitewashing or replacing it with water-based paint it will still be ranked first in the affairs of repair. This is due to three things. Firstly, with the money, and secondly, with low height and apartments, and third, with absolute confidence in the environmental performance of the material. Plaster and latex paint are cheap, do not take up living space, and most importantly - to breathe, which is especially important for small volumes of space. Therefore, if the ceiling height 2,50 m apartment, nothing better you can imagine how time and again to use "crude" way of updating. "Crude" method is called, because connected with the use of solutions of different mixtures: putty, plaster, water-soluble paint, and others. To subsequently not to suffer a headache at the wasted effort, and achieve truly acceptable result, it is necessary merely to comply strictly with the technology of finishing, using only quality building materials and do not trust the work of lay people. Begin? To begin, as always, be a preparatory phase. In this case, it means that the old paint, whatever it may be, to wash or scrape to the ground, that is to bare concrete slabs. You can then assess the work and make a plan of action. If the maximum difference in height of the ceiling surface is not more than 0,5 cm, the owners are lucky, because this will hide any uneven quality (preferably German or Finnish), plaster, laid skilful hand. If the maximum difference of the surface 2-3 cm, then a sealer is not enough. In this case, the ceiling must affix a special masking grid, which is also called serpyanku. It is best if serpyanka adhesive, but you can plant it and glue, such as PVA. If the ceiling surface roughness reaches 3.5 cm, then use a metal reinforcing mesh that can withstand a thick layer of plaster. Next we have to wait until the first coat is dry, and then impose a leveling layer of putty. To obtain a smooth surface dried putty necessarily grind fine sandpaper and then proceed to the final finishing stage, that is to priming and painting. Experts advise to keep track of the exact observance of technology and to apply for jobs putty, primer and paint any one selected, preferably foreign, firms that otherwise possible options flaking badly cobbled together pieces of the ceiling of cake. Work with domestic oil and glue fillers is much more difficult. They need to apply a thin layer, otherwise they fall off. In addition to domestic putty was kept longer, she added gustotertuyu paint, but the number of additives determine the old antiquated way "by eye". Competent wizard in the process must check the degree of flatness. For this device there is a water level that should be applied to the problematic ceiling. You can still use the old folk remedy - thread stretched between nails driven into the various places the ceiling. Fake! Another option is finishing the ceiling, which is applicable for low-altitude apartment is in the device false ceilings. The easiest way to seal the ceiling light polystyrene foam panels. This is a quick, inexpensive and a great way to get rid of dirt that inevitably accompanies painting. But, unfortunately, are glued panels on uneven ceiling does not make sense. If dents, bulges or distortions in the concrete floors too great, the owners have to make some reduction in height of the ceiling by fastening him leveling the metal sheathing. By purified concrete ceiling surface it is targeted by the special plugs with building guns. The result is a leveling frame, which can then be how you want to sheathe a suitable building material. It is best suited for this purpose drywall, but we can take gipsovolokno, and laminate, and particleboard and plywood, and wall paneling, and even metal. The apartments for problem skin ceiling, as a rule, use drywall sheets measuring 1.2 x 2, 5 m and a thickness of 10 to 14 mm. Drywall is good because it is breathable material, because its basis is the layer of plaster, press-fitted between two layers of cardboard. Its smooth surface is very convenient to paint all types of paints, and if desired, and whitewash. The only bad thing that water leaks from the drywall does not help, but that the traditional options for whitewashing or painting is not insured. CEILING VNATYAZHKU Simple stample crate pick up from the ceiling height of 3-5 cm, while the device is more advanced ceilings - at least 10 cm, that for low areas may already be critical. If the differences in the ceiling is still very large and simple crate is not correct, there is only one way, the most expensive, but so far most successful - a device suspended ceilings. Suspended ceiling height of the room completely diminishes, and looks just perfect. Work on installation of the ceiling is not very hard and do it fast. The problem is that it requires special heat gun. It warms the polyvinylchloride sheet, which reduce a special frame in-frame, reinforced around the perimeter of the ceiling. After cooling, the fabric stretches and becomes elastic like a drum. If we consider that spoil the suspended ceiling with water is impossible (he maintains 100 liters of water per 1 m2), then the benefit of this coverage becomes even more apparent. Even if the neighbors above leave on vacation, forgetting to turn off the water, the canvas just provisnet, but not break, and after drying again natyanetsya and take initial shape. Another conversation that to pump the accumulated water will have to call a team of specialists from the company or just to equip the special fabric tube to drain. True, in fairness it should be noted and disadvantages of stretch ceiling. Modern PVC - a material absolutely harmless to human health, but still it synthetic, and hence was not breathing. Therefore, when used in small apartments need to think about that at least the walls were breathing. In addition, the suspended ceiling is still very expensive (from $ 30 per m2). Not everyone can afford it. As far as the lack of another stretch ceiling associated with the fact that the cloth can easily break with a sharp object, it is unlikely that it be taken seriously. It is hard to imagine a person who without much for this special needs will climb to top with a knife or nail to personally check the ceiling for strength.
