In the bathroom, it is often necessary to hide the ventilation channels located under the ceiling and holes or set point luminaires. With these tasks, a stitched or suspended ceiling design will perfectly cope. What materials and components to choose and how to prevent errors when installing?
In principle, the ceiling in the bathroom can be aligned with a solution: special plasters and replacements on a cement basis perfectly withstand high humidity and direct water from entering, there is no disadvantage in the market and in waterproof paints. But if the base surface is far from the ideal (for example, it has a significant bias), this method of finishing becomes too long and unprofitable, because it is necessary to apply a few layers of a solution with an intermediate drying.

Stitched and resting on the walls of the design is deprived of this shortage. In addition, the second can be installed at any height (with a reference to 0.5 m), which allows you to hide ducts and pipes. This time we will talk about the ceilings from construction sheets and plates, panels and rails, and in one of the following numbers about stretch systems.

From scratch
The base of the staircase ceiling is a doom attached directly to the overlap. It can be made of wooden antiseptic rails or bars or P-shaped steel galvanized profiles. The standard step of the rails is 600 mm, but in some cases (when using flexible materials and installation of heavy lamps) it has to be reduced to 300 mm.

Ceiling construction framework parts must be made of galvanized steel
Lower the ceiling by more than 70 mm will help the metal frame, which consists of a perimeter strapping, screwed to the walls, and oriented along or across the room of carrier parts - stringers (and those and others are made from P-shaped profiles). But in spacious bathrooms, where the magnitude of the span exceeds 2.5 m, such a frame will not withstand the mass of the hearing material. Here, reinforced stringers are needed from two profiles connected in the semblance of foreign beams; Another way is to use ceiling suspensions.
And the doom, and the frame is definitely set up - if this is not done, there is a risk that the ceiling plane will be twisted.
A well-performed frame ensures reliability and long service life, but the selection of the hearing material is equally important.
Moisture-resistant plasterboard and dry-fiber sheets are quite capable of withstanding the tropical climate of the bathroom and allow in a matter of hours to perfectly align the ceiling. Nevertheless, these materials have a significant drawback. The standard width of the sheet is 1200 mm, which means that without junctions can not do. Even if you use the moisture-proof mixture for sealing the cracks, there is the likelihood of cracking and depletion of the putty, because, with moisturizes and drying, the GLC and GWL change the dimensions.

In the preparation of plasterboard surfaces under painting, penetrating primers and finish-sinking plates are used

Cement-based mixture
Panels based on extruded polystyrene foam with reinforced cement coating are practically not reacting to moisture drops, but their width is only 600 mm, so the joints will be larger. And although the gaps can simply be sealed with a special ribbon, but then it will also have to coat the surface with a solid layer of plates with a thickness of at least 2 mm, followed by grinding. In addition, the panel with a thickness of 10 mm, used for the ceiling, differ in flexibility; In order for the surface not to be bombed in plastering and painting, it will be necessary to reduce the pitch of the risks.
The glass chain sheets are inexpensive and moisture resistant, but the quality of products of different manufacturers is far from equally. You can not buy sheets without labeling - they are often smelling.
Cement plates Aquapanel Universal (KNAUF) do not change the size under the influence of moisture (and therefore, cracks will not appear at the joints). The manufacturer complements them perfectly compatible glue for seams, splock and primer, allowing much to reduce the risk of construction marriage. Mount the plates (their width is 900 mm, length 1200 mm, thickness 6 and 8 mm) is not harder than HCCV.

The main elements of the aluminum ceiling: 1 - Stringers; 2 - panels; 3 - seated P-shaped profiles; 4 - If significant (100 mm or more) is required; the base surface is fixed with adjustable suspensions
It should be taken into account that for coloring materials on a cement basis, it is necessary to use special compositions, resistant to an alkaline medium, - otherwise, even several layers of primer will not provide the durability of the coating.
The ceiling of moisture-proof sheets is mounted to the walls and installation of plumbing equipment, wheels or from PVC panels - at any time
Basics of installation of the ceiling from G Clac in a small room

First collect the so-called self-supporting frame (a). It consists of P-shaped profiles and crosses ("crabs") (b) and relies only on the walls (ceiling suspensions are not used). The frame is coated with sheet material (B); At the same time, the pitch of the screws should not exceed 300 mm
"Palecker" is canceled
You can rinse the ceiling with plastic or metal panels within one day, and in the process of work, dust and dirt is almost not formed.Plastic panels are of different widths (in the range of 100-300 mm), length (1.5-3 m) and thickness (8-12 mm). Tens of flowers are presented on the Russian market, including imitating metal layouts (two-color), textured wood or stone, as well as panoramic photo printing. Among the leading manufacturers of PVC panels should be called Venta, "B-Plast", "Sv-Plast", "Cronoplast"; The cost of material is low - in the range of 200-500 rubles. for 1 m2. When choosing, you should pay attention to the thickness of the walls of the panel: if the ribs are visible to the lumen, you have a poor-quality material.
The panels are attached to a wooden antiseptic shepherd with braces (using a construction stapler) or self-drawing (it is convenient to use a screwdriver with adjustable twisting force so that the screw of the screw does not clarify plastic). Fixing is hidden inside the castle compounds, and the adjunctions to the walls are decorated with a special cornese profile (ceiling plinth).
The PVC ceiling will serve for many years, it is easy to wash it, and if necessary (for example, in case of damage), replace: on the finished penetration of the panels are mounted for an hour-two. The main minus of the material - during burning it allocates poisonous substances. In addition, the panels accumulate static electricity and attract dust, but in the bathroom this flaw is almost impaired.
Aluminum rim ceilings are often supplied in the form of ready-made sets (with guide and fascinated edging profiles) for standard Santekhkabina (1.7 × 1.7 m bathroom; toilet 0.9 × 1.3 m). If the size of the bathroom differ from the standard, the details can be purchased separately.
The ceilings of this type are produced under CESAL, GeiPel, Luxalon brands, Albes, etc. Their cost starts from 1100 rubles. for 1 m2. Rakes made from aluminum (there are steel products on the market, but they do not fit for the bathroom), their thickness is 0.3-0.5 mm, the width varies in the range of 100-200 mm, and the length reaches 4 m. Some firms produce Reiki the desired length to order, which allows minimizing material waste.
Coloristic gamma of aluminum ceilings is quite wide: they are anodized and stained in a variety of shades, and the rails can be multi-colored, with a light texture pattern. In addition to the wide main elements, a narrow (20-30 mm) layout is supplied, for example, silver or golden. Alternating ordinary rails and narrow inserts, which allows the design of the stringers, you can increase the ceiling decorative.
The aluminum ceiling is fireproof, extremely simply mounted and looks elegant. In addition, the rails are easy to remove from fasteners to conduct a revision of communications laid in the prescription space. Perhaps the main disadvantages of the material are low rigidity and exposure to the formation of dents. Reiki and layout require a careful relationship during transportation and installation, which primarily concerns the finished sets, because spare parts are usually not provided.
Malicious fungus
There are cases when, after dismantling the old tail ceiling, the owners of the apartment opened an unsightly spectacle: those hidden before the surface covered the thick layer of black mold. To avoid a similar attack and save a healthy atmosphere in the bathroom, it is necessary to ensure the ventilation of the superior space, and the exhaust hole must be connected to the ventshah.
The air flow is provided through a small grid, which is placed as far as possible from the hood, microperphoration in the panels or the clearance of walls, hidden by finishing or cornose profiles. In addition, a layer of paint with an antiseptic should be applied to the basic surfaces.
For the installation of modern ceiling lights with LED light bulbs, it is required to "move" the ceiling from the overlap of only 55-70 mm, with incandescent lamps - by 70-100 mm
The main stages of the installation of the cutting ceiling

To begin with, we prepared the segments of the supporting profiles of the desired length (a). The old trim (glued to the base surface of the PVC panel) was not dismantled, and drilled through and drove into the holes of the dowel with a length of 70 mm (b). Focusing on the markup caused by the level, installed Stringers (B). Required for mounting lamps, created with plastic remote sleeves. Attached to the walls of P-shaped framed profiles (g), slightly begging their tips to ensure compound in the corners (e). Cut and installed cladding elements (e, g), after having previously done in the rails for lamps (s). I mounted point lamps (s). The gaps between the framing profiles and the wall were embroidered with white plumbing sealant (K)

The combination of colors allows not only to give the ceiling decorativeness, but also zonail the room - let's say, create a visual border of the shower. In this case, contrasting insertions of significant area can be used.

Typically, the rails and panels are oriented parallel to the walls, but they can be positioned both in the form of a geometric pattern. True, in the second case, the cost of the structure will be 1.5-2 times higher - due to an increase in the time consideration of work and the number of waste
