In today's construction, the most unusual thing istype of finishing of the ceiling surface is the execution of the firmament. Modern technology of manufacturing types of finishing allows to make the sky on the ceiling with your own hands.
Clouds on the ceiling make the room original andbeautiful. Using different materials, you can achieve all sorts of effects, and they in turn differ in price, despite the fact that the "cheapest" ceiling is also not cheap. But to understand their value, you need to specifically consider the principles of making a ceiling in order to make it original and high-quality, and most importantly, with minimal costs. A wide range of materials in modern markets makes it possible to make such a ceiling in various ways. Options:
Tools for painting the ceiling.
Creation of the sky on the ceiling
Achieve the effect of a starry sky usingfiber optics, will not create any special difficulties. A projector is mounted on the ceiling, from which many light beams emanate. They cover the surface of the suspended or stretch ceiling base and create an amazing effect. The advantages that fiberglass has:
- does not conduct current and does not have ultraviolet radiation;
- does not lend itself to heat;
- long service life;
- consumes a minimum amount of electricity.
For installation you will need the following tools and materials:
Ready-made components of fiber optics "starry sky".
- gypsum board, profiles, brackets for a false ceiling;
- whatman;
- glue;
- electric wires;
- a dye, preferably acrylic;
- electric drill and screwdriver;
- a spray gun and a brush.
To achieve the greatest effect, two methods are used.components: light and fiber optics. You can make a sky on the ceiling using various materials, such as stretch fabrics and plasterboard. Types of simplified options
Important to know:
- It is not allowed to strongly bend optical fibers, since mechanical damages lead to a decrease in the conductivity of light;
- It is not recommended to heat threads over 70 degrees.

Ceiling installation starry sky
The process of performing the work depends entirely on the chosen method. Plasterboard ceiling:
Installation diagram of the "Starry Sky" ceiling.
The sky on the ceiling can be made according to a template.For this, a Whatman paper is used, on which the desired shape of the drawing is cut out. Then the sheet with the cut-out pattern is attached to the ceiling and painted using a brush or spray gun. Installation on a stretch ceiling is carried out according to the same principle as the previous option, but there are some nuances:
- the distance of the stretcher must be a maximum of 5 cm from the base;
- Before installing fiber optics it is necessary to make a base of plywood or plastic sheet;
- as soon as the optical fiber bundle is connected to the projector, the tension ceiling is fixed to the angular profiles;
- the next action is to make holes in the canvas and pull the threads out, if the sheet is not touched and left as is, then the light will be more dim;
- for making holes, a soldering iron is used, at the end of which a thin wire is attached, a light thread is passed through the burned hole and the excess length is cut off.

Material for the starry sky on the ceiling
More common are PVC ceilings.films. Due to their quality, photo printing with water-based paints and airbrushing can be applied to them more easily and firmly. You can use glossy and matte films for the job. Today, satin matte fabrics with various designs from clear blue skies to cosmic stars are very popular. Stretch fabrics from various manufacturers are famous for the fact that a ready-made design can easily be used instead of a template for installing light threads in the intended location. Designs are applied to the fabric using interior printing. Computer technology allows you to apply to the fabric even an image that was previously photographed using a telescope. Another advantage of fabric is that it does not require warming up before installation. Of the listed methods for making a sky on the ceiling with your own hands, you can choose the one that suits you both in terms of cost and taste. But you need to consider that if you have no experience, it is wiser to choose a more acceptable or simple option, such as phosphorus stickers or ready-made panels. It is also worth noting that the stars serve as decoration for the ceiling surface, but not as a source of light.</ ul>
