New bathroom ceiling in the bathroom
Undeniably, the ceiling of the most vulnerable area of the bathroom, in terms of the effects of water, steam and vapors. It is up, on the ceiling, rising evaporation, which settle in the form of condensate. Therefore, the most practical solutions in the design of the bathroom ceiling are of great interest to those who repair themselves.
Roof ceiling is considered the leader of ceiling systems. What is the secret of the recognition of the bathroom ceiling lath? We will not be mistaken if we call such qualities of the ceiling:
• additional heat and sound insulation
• simplicity and accessibility of installation, including curvilinear surfaces
• possibility to hide engineering communications from extraneous eyes
• Possibility to make an effective finish.
In addition, the ceilings for the bathroom rack are not afraid of damp, care for them does not require additional costs, but how original it will look such a ceiling made of quality materials! And if you decorate the ceiling with the knowledge of designer secrets, then the new ceiling in the bathroom will have a sonorous name.
Rack ceiling, what is it?
The rack ceiling is a kind of modular ceiling structures. With the help of such suspended ceiling structures, it is possible to create a decorative coating. In this case, the decorative coating plays not only the role of decoration of the bathroom, but also provides a convenient place for placing electric wiring, air ducts and fixtures of lighting fixtures. And the apartments in Reutov new buildings are very well used in the decoration of everything new. The bathroom rack in the apartment in Reutov new building can withstand the water flood from above (if the neighbor forgot to close the tap), while the appearance of the bathroom will not be spoiled. Additional repair of the ceiling is not required.
The design of the rack ceiling is:
• set of mounted panels
• decorative profiled rails
• Guide (traverse).
Mounted panels can have a different texture:
• smooth outer surface or with a texture
• glossy or matt
• Perforated.
The color of the panels can also be different, which provides an incredible opportunity for bold and refined color ceiling solutions in the bathroom. Moreover, the layout of panels and racks is not regulated by any rules: do not like along or across the ceiling, you can make the installation diagonally.
The fixing of the rack ceiling is made to the base ceiling, which serves as the base of the structure. The structure consists of the following elements:
• profile of the guide U-shaped, fixing which is carried out along the perimeter of the bathroom
• hangers, which are fixed to the ceiling plane and have guide rails with latches
• panels - rails with a specified profile.
The shape and design of the rails' profiles is different, that is why there are certain types of racks ceiling and installation methods.
Mounting methods for lath ceilings
The method of installation largely depends on the interreach joints. According to the method of installation, the racks are divided into types:
• open
• Closed.
rack ceilings of open type
The open-type laths in the assembled state represent a monolithic flat structure. The gap between the rails is insignificant and is up to 15 mm. In the decorative plan, the gap is closed with a special profile. The entire ceiling design of the open type is fixed to the base ceiling. Fastening is carried out with the use of spokes or suspension-clamps.
Modular ceiling panels (modules 100, 150, 200mm) are attached to the carrier bus. In this case, longitudinal gaps are formed, for filling which use interrelevant inserts. Interstitial inserts can be considered universal, because they are suitable for almost all types of panels of the open type. According to the technology, the distance between the base ceiling and the suspended structure can be any height and depends on the installation of the inter-ceiling space.
For effective finishing of the ceiling in the bathroom, the open-type ceiling rack is of particular interest, because the panels can be plain or have bright glass inserts.

closed ceilings
The ceiling of the rack-type enclosed type can consist of racks of various widths, which after assembly and installation also form a common or continuous plane.
The standard size of the ceilings of closed ceilings is 75, 100 and 150 mm. A variety of sizes allows you to use a certain step of the plane of the ceiling, alternating between different rails and slats. With a tastefully matched design and a color scale of the rack ceiling, the original ceiling design will be created. Installation of the lath ceiling with their own hands consists of the stages:
On the perimeter of the bathroom at a calculated height fixed wall angle. The angle is fixed to the wall in 600 mm increments.
Carrier tires are attached to the ceiling overlap in parallel to each other. For bathrooms of insignificant area the distance is not more than 400 mm.
The ceiling panels are assembled in a common plane, each panel is snapped into the carrier bus. Fastening to the base ceiling is carried out using stringer and adjustable hangers. The distance between the hangers should be 70 cm.
How to beautifully design a rack ceiling
The most effective on the slatted ceiling look mounted light fixtures. The choice of fixtures requires a certain approach, which will allow them to be properly installed.
When creating a rack ceiling, it is not necessary to use strict geometric shapes. Flexibility and plasticity of the ceiling panels of the rack aluminum allows to create soft curvilinear transitions. The standard fastening of panels with self-tapping screws and dowels, as well as the possibility of height adjustment allows you to mount the rack ceiling diagonally.
In addition, it is possible to use the rack space by introducing more effective elements and inserts from gypsum board or stretch cloth between the panels. Probably, therefore, the installation of the rack ceiling in the bathroom goes to a higher level of creativity of the home master, who is accustomed to making by himself.
