You can install the lath ceiling yourselfcorridor and in the kitchen. The suspended construction hides communication, allowing the installation of various lighting fixtures. To make the ceiling with their own hands made of aluminum, a method of cold stamping is used. The mounts are anodized. 
Roof ceiling has the following advantages: resistance to humidity, the presence of decorative properties, easy installation.
Main classification
Roof ceiling has the following advantages:
- resistance to humidity;
- the presence of decorative properties;
- easy installation.
Scheme of installation of a rack ceiling on suspensions. The construction is made of inactive metals that are not corroded. Aluminum strips are covered with a multilayer additional coating. The system under consideration is manufactured in a wide range of colors. The lath ceiling is of the following types:
- open type;
- closed type.
When installing a rack ceiling open typethe space between the slats is not filled. The system is characterized by good ventilation and no condensation on the crate. The construction of the closed type is presented in the form of a hanging metal frame on which aluminum panels are mounted. In the resulting clearance, an intertwining insert is mounted. Experts do not recommend the use of cheap galvanized slats for the ceiling in a room with high humidity. These elements are corroded and after a certain time begin to rust, which adversely affects the life of the suspension system. Back to contents</a>
Preparation for work
Installation of the lath ceiling is made taking into account the following recommendations:
- the number of the wall angle coincides with the perimeter of the room;
- when fixing universal suspensions, a step of 0.3 m is observed;
- when laying the ceiling slats, a gap of 5 mm from the wall angle and 3 mm from the walls is observed;
- the total number of racks should coincide with the ceiling area.
Preliminary chart scheme, which is appliedheight, width and location of suspension fixation. The scheme is applied to the millimeter paper with a pencil. Elements of the frame are fixed to the ceiling and walls using dowels-nails in the size 6x40 mm. Installation of the wall angle is carried out in increments of 35-40 cm. The universal suspension is fixed using a dowel-nail. Back to contents</a>
Installation of the rack ceiling
Scheme fixation of the closed lath ceiling. To install a rack ceiling, you need a level, rule, pencil, bulgarian, punch, a 6 mm drill, a hammer, a drill. The suspended construction is lowered to an arbitrary level. To the obtained value add 1 cm (for cable laying). Mark put with a pencil. The horizontal plane of the future construction is marked on the walls with the help of a laser level. If the installation works are carried out in premises with tiles, then the level of the lath ceiling must not fall on the seam between the tiles. Otherwise, the finishing material will be destroyed. The holes are made on the wall. Labels for fasteners are marked with a pencil. The holes are made with a drill bit on the concrete. To fix the wall angle apply plastic dowels. To install universal suspensions, you will need to apply parallel lines on the ceiling. The last element is designed to adjust the height of the suspension. Bearing profile (stringer) is mounted on the hooks of the previous element. To do this, the product provides a breakdown. The panel is cut to size by the Bulgarian. If necessary, cut openings and make installation of spotlights. The next step is to install inserts in the interstitial space. The plugs are snapped into the groove. Suspended construction is recommended to install together. The laser level can be replaced with a water analog. In the absence of proper experience, installation of the lath ceiling is best entrusted to professionals. </ ul>
