Quite often during the process of building a houseThe floor slabs are laid with a significant difference. It is very difficult and quite expensive to deal with such defects using the plastering method. When the house shrinks, large cracks appear on the ceiling, which reappear after the ceiling is repaired. These problems can be effectively solved by creating such an element as a suspended ceiling made of gypsum board.
Frame elements.Giprokom is a building material with the same qualities, gypsum plasterboard and gypsum board, which is used for leveling and insulating walls and ceilings of industrial and residential premises. It is produced in the form of sheets with a thickness of 9.5 to 12 mm and a width of 1250 mm of various lengths. According to its technical characteristics, it can be ordinary, moisture-resistant and fireproof. Ceilings made of gypsum board can be single-level and multi-level. If you want to create such a ceiling with your own hands, it is not difficult. With its help, you can implement interesting design solutions for ceiling decoration, create original room lighting, hide wiring and other communications behind the surface. The main disadvantage of such a ceiling is a decrease in the height of the room.
Preparatory work
Before starting work, it is necessary to take measurementsroom dimensions, select a suitable ceiling surface design. Make a list and quantity of the required material and necessary tools. To create a structure from gypsum board, you will need the following materials and tools:

Layout of places for installation of frame elements
After completing the preparation stage, performmarking for installing the profile. Measure the ceiling height from the floor level. Determine the lower point, from which they retreat approximately 30 mm (the width of the profile). Using a water level, the resulting mark is transferred to the remaining corners of the room. Pressing the painter's cord to the marks made on the wall, mark the installation line for the wall profile along the perimeter of the room. Pressing the profile to the wall, mark the places for its attachment. On the surface of the ceiling, with a step of approximately 50 cm, apply lines for installing the hangers.

Installation of false ceiling
A plasterboard ceiling will help to implementinteresting design solutions, create original lighting for the room, hide wiring and other communications behind the surface. Having finished the marking, they begin to install the frame, plasterboard and then finish the surface. The work is carried out in the following sequence:
When assembling a multi-level ceiling to the assembled oneanother level is added to the frame, in accordance with the designer's project. The only difference in its assembly is that the hangers are attached not to the concrete base, but to the profiles of the first level. To close the end between the first and second levels, a strip of plasterboard is attached to it, which is moistened for greater elasticity and rolled with a needle roller. By installing a suspended ceiling made of plasterboard with your own hands, you can forever get rid of its frequent repairs, give the apartment a new aesthetic look and save a considerable amount of money.
