Suspended plasterboard ceilings are prettypopular as this material provides ample opportunities for carrying out repair work on different surfaces. Among the advantages of this method, you can select the minimum amount of preparatory work, since the base does not need to be cleaned from the previous finish, and you can also install multi-level structures of any degree of complexity. The framework allows to conduct electrical wiring, ventilation pipes and other communications over the ceiling.
Features
Installation of suspended ceilings can hardly be called simplelesson, since it is necessary to fasten the sheet material, after which the joints are glued over with reinforcing paper, and then the putty is applied and the surface is painted. These processes have much in common with plastering. Among the disadvantages of this method can be identified "eating" the ceiling height of 7-10 centimeters. Suspended gypsum ceilings, the price of which per average meter is 2100-2300 rubles (this takes into account the cost of rough and finishing materials, as well as the work done), are prone to cracking. Even with the strictest observance of technology, it is difficult to guarantee that after a while the cracks will not appear on the surface. In addition, such structures can not be used in rooms with high levels of humidity.
Work order
Suspended plasterboard ceilings are mounted inthe expense of hanging the finishing material to the ceiling that already exists. Hanging and fastening can be done in one of several ways. Installation is carried out on a suspended structure made of metal profile, to which material sheets are attached to the bottom. This process is not particularly difficult, so you can do all the work yourself. As already mentioned, a feature of this design is that the ceiling falls by 7-10 centimeters compared to the ceiling level initially available, which is not always acceptable for domestic apartments.

Depending on the cost of materials and the quality of work, suspended plasterboard ceilings can cost 500-2300 rubles per square meter. Installation is carried out in 5-10 days. Since the plasterboard ceiling is assembled from individual sheets, house shrinkage and temperature deformation can lead to the fact that after 2-3 years the surface is covered with cracks that need to be embroidered, and then puttyed in a new one. After this, the repair site must be painted, and the entire surface must be painted, otherwise problem areas will be noticeable.
