Ceiling repair in the apartment.
A launched ceiling is a deplorable spectacle capable of ruining the appearance of any room. In addition to the fact that he is all picked up and stained, something crumbles from such a ceiling all the time, causing inconvenience and delivering a lot of trouble due to constant cleaning.
In order to put such a ceiling in order in a short time, you can install suspended or suspended ceilings, you can close the ceiling with special panels or apply multi -level, bearing and adhesive technologies. You can even make it mirror or starry. All these techniques are now quite popular, but in our homes most often ceilings are ordinary, classic. Therefore, the traditional methods of repairing the ceiling are still very common.
A significant drawback of such repair methods is that the process is laborious and dirty. In addition, all works are naught in case of leakage. The advantages of such a repair include the preservation of the height of the ceiling and use in the repair of natural materials.
The ceiling repair in the apartment with the removal of the old coating begins. There are several methods of removal. The whitewashing can simply be blurred with water, impregnated water -based paint with iodine solution and cleaned with a punch. On sale today there are special flutters that easily remove any old paint from the ceiling. It can be the washing of the German company Pufas or Russian flutters released by manufacturers from Shchelkovo or Volgograd. Apply washing on the ceiling with a wide brush or roller. 20-30 minutes after applying the washing, they are removed along with the old paint.
After the ceiling is cleaned of the old coating, you need to check its horizontal. The easiest way is to do this with a plumb line. The plumb line is measured the distance from the floor to the ceiling in the corners of the room. In the case when the difference is detected in these distances, it means that there is a slope in the ceiling that must be taken into account during subsequent primer and putty work.
Then you need to close all the seams in the ceilings, because at the joints of ceiling and wall plates there are progresses through which air enters. In addition, because of the movements, wallpaper exfoliates and stucco and putty. The seams are sealed with cement mortar or sickle – a construction bandage. Sickling is glued with diluted PVA glue into open seams – ores.
After sealing the seams, there is a turn of primer and putty. They are preparing the ceiling for finishing. Impregnate concrete to avoid its makeability, and level the surface of the ceiling. The deeper the primer will be made, the better and more durable the ceiling will turn out. Materials for priming on sale are more than enough. These are the products of the German “Pufas”, and “Tiffing-Grunct LF”, and “Universal Tiffing-Grunct LH”, and so on.
The most serious stage, and sometimes a fairly expensive stage of ceiling repair in the apartment is a putty. How much the ceiling depends on its quality. Putty is a white powder, which is diluted with water to a density of sour cream. It can be three types that are intended for the decoration of internal, external and wet rooms. Leading manufacturers of Shpaklevka are the German “Pufas” and Finnish “Vetonite”. A little worse in quality, Russian putty of the company “Glin” and the Polish company “Atlas”.
In order to prevent cracks in the ceiling from appearing, ordinary gauze or a wide sickle is glued to the unflapped putty. They play the role of a reinforcing grid. In order for the surface of the ceiling to be perfectly flat, the finishing of the surface of the surface is performed by the finish. The structure of the finish putty is fine -grained, which helps to apply it with an even and smooth layer.
After the putty dries up, the ceiling is stuck with sandpaper. After that, the monolithic basis for painting can be considered ready -made, and preparatory repair of the ceiling in the apartment is finished.
