Lining ceiling in interior design

How and how to sheathe the ceiling, so that it is not only beautiful, but also practical, and, if possible, environmentally friendly, interests many. From the variety of finishes, experts distinguish clapboard cladding, a material that is one of the most common ways to decorate the ceiling.

The origin of the name of the building material is interesting. Previously, transport cars were sheathed with wooden slats, which were then used in interior decoration. This is how the generalized name for wood material came about.

Its main feature is naturalness. The room, in which the ceiling is decorated with wooden clapboard, breathes. A natural microclimate is formed in it due to such a property of the tree as the absorption of moisture in case of its excess and release in case of a shortage.

Distinctive features are:

• naturalness and naturalness;
• durability and reliability in use;
• heat and sound insulation;
• security;
• resistance to decay processes;
• ease of care;
• ease of installation;
• originality of appearance;
• complete safety for health;
• a great opportunity to hide communications.

Wooden lining is the ancestor of such products as metal and plastic lining. A feature of all types is its shape and installation. A classic of the genre - lining made of wood is suitable for finishing various surfaces, including the ceiling. The existing disadvantage is weak moisture and heat resistance is easily eliminated today. The necessary impregnations will easily cope with this problem..

The plastic version of the ceiling sheathing is primarily budgetary. Manufactured with seamless technology, it is attractive and graceful. However, it has a number of serious disadvantages. Chief among them is its fragility. Over time, it loses its snowy whiteness, fades and turns yellow. It is exposed to mechanical stress and temperature reactions.

The lining, made of sheet steel and aluminum, is more often used in the decoration of the facade of a house, but it can be used in ancillary, yard buildings. The aluminum product is almost forever, which can not be said about the analogue. Inexpensive material is short-lived. Slight damage to the protective layer leads to an irreversible process - damage to the thin metal.

Due to the many types of paneling, it is suitable for finishing ceilings in rooms with different operating requirements and aesthetic requests.

There are many manufacturers of this material, but the quality of the products sometimes wishes to leave the best. In order not to be mistaken in the purchase, you should carefully examine it at the time of purchase. You should pay attention to every little thing.

Packaging - you should be alerted if the lining is sold packed in a film. This fact indicates the low quality of the goods, since the seller is not allowed to tear the film and pull out the panel for inspection. Also panels covered with foil are exposed to moisture due to lack of ventilation... This packaging negatively affects the quality of even premium materials.

If possible, carefully check the plate itself. A slight curvature jeopardizes the result of the work performed. Better to refuse such a product... First, there will be installation difficulties. Secondly, even after installing it, there is no guarantee that it will last a long time.

If visual inspection is clear, inspect the surface. Shear waves may show up on the board. The most thorough inspection is necessary for the docking structures (grooves and ridges). In no case should they contain chips or cracks.

It is advisable to have a clip for inspection that can detect waves. If any are found, the kleimer cannot be installed as needed. Note that assembly is easy when trying to connect individual panels.

Be sure to use a device, if available in the store, to measure the moisture content of the lining... Take the time to inspect your purchase - this will serve as a guarantee of the final result.

When choosing a finishing material, you need to be aware of its specification. Wood paneling is divided into four quality categories. They have significant differences. It is impossible to choose quality material without paying attention to them.

• Class "A" products completely suitable for ceiling cladding. Errors are possible here, such as tar spots (no more than two), blind cracks (one or two), one knot is allowed.
• Class "B" - relatively good stuff. Its use in residential premises is undesirable due to its aesthetic characteristics. This is an increased number of blind cracks, knots and tar spots.
• Class "C" products has low quality. It is used only for facing outbuildings. In this group, the criteria are completely different - knots falling out, through cracks, resin pockets. However, this material is not a complete marriage.
• Extra class products characterized by the complete absence of any defects. It is ideal for finishing ceilings.

This classification is a guiding star when choosing a wooden lining. The type of wood affects the performance of the manufactured product.

The white ceiling in combination with various materials looks unusually and original.

Individual elements created on the ceiling - around the chandelier, for example, allow you to add variety to the interior of the room. An interesting touch in the interior will be a ceiling made of plastic lining, different in texture and applied pattern. With the help of panels in contrasting colors, zoning of the room is possible.

The interior of the environment will turn out beautiful in a conceived image. A room with stylish appliances and steel surfaces of household items will look advantageous.

A natural-type ceiling will be appropriate in a kitchen with a decor made of natural stone or its imitation. The use of panels painted in a color that matches other objects is suitable for decorating a corridor. Don't overlook additional details and the overall look of the interior.

The nursery and the study are designed by analogy. In the nursery, a careful and scrupulous approach to such coverage is also needed. The only room in the house where it is not recommended to install the ceiling from the lining may be the bathroom... Excessive moisture can cause the coating to deteriorate.

It is not difficult to calculate the required amount of this material for finishing the ceiling, but painstakingly. And the calculation must be done carefully so that the end result does not bring any grief in the form of additional costs (time, money, nerves). It is advisable to purchase the product with some margin. You need to start with a clearly developed plan for the direction of fastening the elements. Record all this on the drawing.

Ordinary mathematics. But at the same time, do not forget about the nuance of the fastening, that is, the presence of grooves and ridges. There will be a decrease in the width of each board. This calculation can be done manually. This threatens to waste a lot of time and effort.

Online calculator programs will come to the rescue. You only need to know the basic parameters of the panel - width, length, height and thickness.Based on practice, it is noticed that the results of two similar measurements do not have significant differences. The accuracy of measurements will save the budget allocated for repairs, protect against unnecessary scraps. but do not forget about the rule of rounding up the fractional value and adding 15% of the strategic reserve of material to it.

You can immediately calculate the cost of the material. When buying, you need to know the parameters of the lining and the required quantity. And do not forget about the factors that affect the cost: the price depends on the size of the lining, with an accurate measurement of which it will be possible to purchase the necessary cash. Now it is boldly just right to start installation work.

To do any job, you need to carefully prepare. No special skills are required, there would be a desire. But you need to assemble a tool, without which nothing will work out for sure. You will need several types of building level... Without a roulette you will have to work, as they say, by eye, which is absolutely unacceptable... You need a hammer, a hacksaw, a jigsaw and a screwdriver.

In the event that the crate is made of a metal profile, it is better to use scissors. When installing the cladding, use a drill with a percussion mechanism or a perforator with a concrete ceiling. The minimum drill diameter is at least 6-7 mm... In terms of time, sheathing will take a little time if the correct calculation and clear marking are made. The frame for panel mounting is of two types - wood and metal. The first option is considered more optimal. It is cheaper and easier to use.

Wooden crate will require:

• timber 4x4 cm, respectively, the area of ​​the ceiling;
• brackets;
• wooden or plastic wedges;
• self-tapping screws.

For a metal frame you need:

• metallic profile;
• suspension;
• fasteners;
• self-tapping screws;
• anchors.

If necessary, the lining should be dried before installation. Clean the ceiling itself from dirt, dust and old plaster. Find the key points of the markup using the level. The first will be the lowest point of the ceiling, which is transferred to all walls and is connected along the perimeter with one line. These are the guidelines for the sheathing bars.

Ceilings with such cladding do not tolerate differences in height and distortions. The lathing is attached to the dowels. The fastening distance between the beams depends on the material from which the lining is made. Having mounted the frame, you can begin the finishing itself. It is advisable to do this work together.

• The first panel is fixed to the wall with a spike. Boards must be fastened strictly perpendicular to the crate.
• Correct its position before fastening with a spirit level.
• The second track, firmly inserting it into the grooves of the first, secure it in the place of the frame.
• All other panels are attached by analogy. As practice suggests, the last board often has to be cut. To make the seam less visible, position it away from public view. During installation, immediately measure the holes for lighting fixtures and communications. It is necessary to score thoroughly.
• The finished ceiling is decorated with a wooden plinth around the entire perimeter. It is advisable to varnish the wooden lining and baseboards. The option of painting is also possible.
