Установка потолков натяжного типа является simple process for experienced technician. It is very important at the time of the installation to take into account every nuance. How long the construction will serve depends on the quality of the materials used in the work and the quality of its implementation. It should be remembered that after installation the ceiling levels in the room will become significantly less. In order to find out how much the ceiling will drop during stretch ceilings, should determine the size of communications and type of lamps. If the design has two levels, the ceiling height will decrease by 10 centimeters.
Several points will directly affect the distance from the floor slab to the surface of the ceiling to be installed, such as:
- Type of material used.
- Method of fastening the canvas to baguettes.
- Variety of connections lighting elements.
- The number of communications that will be hidden in the future under construction.
- Also depends on the shape of the room and height.
Reasons for reducing the level of height
It is known that there are three reasons on which it depends on how much the ceiling will drop during stretch ceilings. at the time of installation. Each of them affects its height level:
- In most cases, voids are formed in places.joints of plates of the ceiling and walls. This happens because these places most often do not have a flat surface. Since it is impossible to fasten the framework to the voids, due to which the material is being pulled. If you still hold it, the baguettes will be unreliable. For this reason, the canvas descends until the emptiness in the walls ends.
- Installation of lamps of any kind requireslower ceiling level. Lighting systems can have a different look, and the size of the whole structure depends on their size. The upper part, on which the mount is located, should be hidden under the tensioning material.
- In case the surface of the slab is uneven.This problem may arise from the shrinkage of the building or from the experience of the builder who carried out the repair work. It is important to eliminate the reason for which a defect could have been formed. The height of the room will depend on how much the ceiling drops when the ceilings are stretched.
The best way to solve the problem is to change the ceiling height level. If you still neglect this, then at the time of installation the canvas will be uneven and unreliable.
How high the structure goes down
Frequent problem of the majority of ownersis a small level of ceilings. Therefore, everyone cares how much the ceiling will drop with suspended ceilings after installation. In case the top plate is flat and there is not a large number of communications, then the fabric web descends by only 3 centimeters. If a special PVC film is used as a base, then by 2.5 centimeters. In practice, there are rarely ideal conditions, so the level of indent can vary from 2.5 to 16 centimeters.
In some cases, due to irregularitiesthe surface of the ceiling when measuring on one side of the wall shows an indent of 4 centimeters, and on the other 10, therefore the decision of the owner is necessary. Sometimes the walls under the ceiling have gaps up to 6 cm in size, most often they contain construction debris, and then they are plastered with mortar. In order for the entire structure to hold firmly, it is necessary to ascertain the presence of voids. If the mount is installed in this place, the baguettes will simply disappear.
Installation of lighting elements
Installation of lighting elements is important.part in the installation of suspended ceilings. They should be connected first. It depends on what kind of lighting fixtures are chosen, how much the suspended ceiling is lowered during the installation of the whole structure. If you plan to select different types of lighting in the same room, you can visually divide the room height. Varieties of lamps that can be installed under the structure:
- Lamps of LED type.
- Chandeliers.
- Spots (spotlights).
- Halogen light.
- LED Strip Light.
To make a choice, you must haveview of each type of lamp. The height level will depend on this. It is important to remember that the frame of the suspended ceiling must be made of durable material, it is necessary for the reliability of the whole structure. To a greater degree this is required in the case of the choice of lamps of large size.
LED strip
LED strip is often used in finishingsurface. Its use makes it possible to correct irregularities that can be allowed at the time of installation of the batten. First of all, you should decide how many cm the stretch ceiling is lowered, and then deal with the installation process. Most often, the level of height varies from 2.5 to 10 centimeters when using such lighting.
In case the stove is located indoorshigh, you can make a maximum indent of 10 centimeters, without fear that the room will be low. It is important, based on the height of the ceilings, to make a choice of material for stretching the threads. They differ according to the level of the top plate. In the case of a low ceiling, some types of materials are used, while others are high.
Spots
Mortise spot type fixtures are used in decoration. They require to reduce the level of the ceiling from 6 to 10 centimeters. In the course of work, it is determined by how many centimeters the stretch ceiling is lowered, but within acceptable limits.At the time of installation, holes with a diameter of 4 millimeters should be cut into the canvas. Then on the edges of this hole is glued a ring made of plastic. It allows you to prevent defects that can form at the time of stretching the fabric. Lamps of this type can be installed in two ways.
Ways to install spots
This installation option is more spectacular.as it creates a visual impression that the light radiates the canvas itself. In this case, no holes are made. But this option has a lot of flaws: because of a lack of air, the lamps overheat, in the event of a burnout, it is difficult to replace the light bulb, and the level of light emitted decreases. If you still plan this option lighting the room, you should purchase energy-saving light bulbs. They do not heat up much and will last longer.
At the web level, installation is more practical to maintain and safer to use.
Chandelier installation
Depending on which chandelier is chosen, it is decided how much the stretch ceiling with the lamps in the whole room falls. Chandeliers come in several forms:
- Chandeliers that are installed directly to the ceiling.
- Hook, they are hung on hooks that are mounted on the stove.
Lighting option and fastener type bestchoose after installing baguettes. Installation of hooks is carried out with an indent of more than 3 centimeters from the top base to the canvas. It should be remembered that after some time there may be a slight sagging of the canvas. Therefore, it is better to lower the chandelier below, with a margin.
Canvas sagging
In some cases, after installing the stretch ceilings, after some period of time, may sag. Therefore, you should think in advance how much the suspended ceiling falls during installation, as it is very important. The reasons for sagging may be such factors as:
- Poor quality canvas.
- Installation by unscrupulous workers.
- Violation of technology installation.
- Incorrectly installed baguettes on the walls.
If the tensioning structure is installed on alltechnology using high-quality fabric, sagging will be negligible. It will be visually imperceptible, in percentage terms it is equal to one percent of the length of the room along the diagonals.
