How is the tension ceiling fixed to the ceiling?

We are perfectly justified in assuming that our home is not only a fortress, but also a place where you can relax and relax after the hardest day.

A significant role in giving the living space of beauty and comfort belongs to the ceiling materials used in the repair process, which today exist thousands of species.

They differ not only in the nature of the raw materials used for their production, but also in their functional properties, not to mention the price. And therefore it is not surprising that the choice of materials for repair sometimes turns into a sophisticated torture. What is it worth only one fastening the stretch ceiling to the ceiling, which most people simply do not know about!

What is needed for this?

If you intend to conduct this operation on your own, you will have to accept that you will not be able to do with typical tools. So, you need to buy a special spatula and a heat gun, without which fixing the stretch ceiling to the ceiling is simply unworkable.

However, not everything is so terrible: a stepladder, a drill with a set of drills, dowels, a high-quality construction level, and a knife - there are almost every house. In addition, we recommend preparing a vacuum cleaner, a paint tape, as well as a sufficient amount of polyethylene film, which you need to hide furniture.

Getting Ready

In the case where the room is residential, it is better not to start the tension ceiling to the ceiling without preliminary preparation. To do this, you need to hide all the furniture with a film (remember, we talked about it), protect the floor with wrapping paper or the same film, paying special attention to the sites directly at the walls.

We are mounting the baguette

Any fastening of the stretch ceiling to the ceiling begins with the installation of a strong and light frame, which is attached around the perimeter of the walls of the room. In another way it is called baguette.

To do this, you need to know if the "native" ceiling has any irregularities. If you glued wallpaper in the room, you can know about the difference in height at different ends of the room. Finally approving the lowest point of the ceiling, we take this value for the level at which the baguette will be fastened.

Its installation is carried out using dowels. Of course, you need to do this as accurately as possible, constantly checking with the level indicators.

Stretch!

But now the most interesting begins. First you need to carefully spread the canvas, temporarily filling its edges with a baguette. To do this, use a spatula. Then the cloth is temporarily fixed with clips, which must be purchased in advance.

After that, the ceiling mount tension ceilings enters the most critical phase. You need as carefully as possible to fix the canvas on the corners, not allowing the formation of wrinkles. If everything is done successfully, you can begin to fasten the decorative bar, while cutting off excess sheets.

Having finished with this complicated and dreary business, you can start heating the entire ceiling with a heat gun. The residual wrinkles will stretch, the coating will be perfectly even.

Of course, there are other types of fixing stretch ceilings (including without the use of a heat gun), but they all require profound professional knowledge and considerable experience.
