Ceilings in the apartment
The primary element of the interior of the apartment, of course, are the ceilings, the quality of which immediately catches your eye. Therefore, the ceilings in the apartment must be in perfect condition.
The complexity and complexity of the preparatory work of the ceiling depends on the structure of the material with which it was painted or pasted before.
The technology of preparatory work during the repair of the ceiling is simple and is accessible even for beginners in the construction skill.
For repair work when removing the old ceiling cover you will need: a sharp-edged spatula, roller, water tank, gloves and a cap on the head.
Preparatory work before finishing
Removing the Whitewash
Just and easily washed the old layer of whitewash from the ceiling. The surface of the ceiling is wetted with warm water using a roller on a long handle and the layer is gently removed with a spatula. The depth of the layer to be removed depends on many factors. If the cracks are formed on the ceiling with a small degree of opening, then they should not be "loaded". With further puttying and plastering, cracks, potholes or chips will have to be closed.
Removing old wallpapers
The simplest material for removal is wallpaper. Wallpapers are removed from the ceiling in a similar way, as well as from the walls of the room. To remove wallpaper from the ceiling, they are initially impregnated with warm water. For these purposes, it is good to use a roller saturated with water. After a while saturated and soaked with water, remove the wallpaper spatula.
Working with a spatula, you can remove wallpaper by strips. In case the old wallpaper had a multi-layer structure, and warm water can not reach the base and soak them, make the notches a sharp object for deep penetration.
Badly removed traces of glue will have to be scraped with a spatula or chisel. Removing the wallpaper from the ceiling, the surface is treated with a primer for two times and finally puttyed for subsequent finishing.
Removing the foam tiles
Quickly and easily accessible it will be possible to remove the old-fashioned foam plastic tile, which now does not present any interest for finishing ceiling structures. Such a tile is brittle and well removed from the surface of the ceiling, it is enough to pick up with a sharp spatula.
It will be problematic to remove traces of dried glue. Removing old traces of glue, the surface of the ceiling is also primed for two sets and finally shpaklyuetsya. The process of priming the ceiling is simple. For priming, you need a high-quality primer, a roller on a long handle and a container for priming.
Removal of the water-emulsion paint layer
Complex preparatory work during the repair of the ceiling can be called the removal of the old layer of water-based paint. Removing moisture-resistant water-based paint will have only a mechanical method. For these purposes, use a grinder or a drill with a nozzle. Similarly, a layer of oil paint is removed from the ceiling.
Once removing the old layers of ceiling coverings, you can confidently answer the exciting question: "Which ceiling is better" - one that is easily and quickly washed away.
By the way, if the ceiling in the apartment is painted with oil paint, and you really do not want to rip it off, you can "deceive" this nasty paint and make installation of a new original suspended ceiling structure made of plasterboard.
We'll talk right away, the preparatory work to remove old coatings is dirty and dusty work, so you'll have to work in a hat, glasses and gloves.
After removing the old layer from the surface of the ceiling, a rough finish is made. Roughing will consist of the following works:
• priming of the surface
• Ceiling putty
• grouting.
Let's pay your attention to the fact that roughing is a long process. After each stage of finishing work, the technological time for drying is necessary. So, after priming the surface on acrylic antistatic base with fungicidal additives, you will have to wait 12-15 hours. Primer It is applied in several layers by a roller on a long handle in two directions.
After the primer layer has dried, putty cracks, potholes and seams between ceiling slabs on the ceiling. At the seams the puttying layer is reinforced with reinforcing mesh.
Putty also applied in several layers, starting to work with the starting putty.
The puttying layer with the use of the starting and finishing putty will finally dry out after 20-24 hours.
After the final drying of the putty layer, grouting or sanding of the surface is performed. For this purpose, use manual grout with an emery layer. It is necessary to work with manual grouts in small circular motions.
After the successful carrying out of all works, the prepared and cleaned surface is treated with a primer of deep penetration. In this case, even straight sections are preferable to be treated with a roller, and for processing the passage of pipes and joints of plates - a flat brush.
In what cases do the plaster works
For plastering and leveling the ceiling for painting, there must be real conditions. How is this done in practice? In the case when the differences in height on the ceiling exceed 5 cm, then as a leveling material, preference should be given to the slabs from the ceiling gypsum board. Plaster, 5 cm thick, can represent a real threat and danger. And suddenly one day such a piece will disappear?
If the surface of the ceiling is level with slight differences in heights not exceeding 2 cm, in this case it is possible to conduct plastering works. After the plastering works, the ceiling painting will be done qualitatively and quickly.
