Stretch ceiling is a solution to some problems and the source of others. Such, for example, the installation of the cornice. At least it was before. Today, manufacturers of ceilings, and manufacturers of cornices, and the installers themselves have many techniques in their arsenal, allowing you to get the perfect result even in the most difficult cases. Just like that, the cornices to suspended ceilings do not glue and not to block the stretch ceiling is not the same. And this is good! A stretch ceiling is now hanging in every second apartment. And once this method of alignment was expensive and non-ecological: the canvases were made of artificial materials, and in the rooms it smelled of “chemistry” for a long time. In addition, with the lamps turned on, stretch ceilings became transparent, and under them the dust and dead flies treacherously shone. I generally keep silent about terrible drawings with clouds or copies of classic paintings: in Soviet houses with a ceiling height of 2.5 m they looked ridiculous. But if multi -level plasterboard structures went out of fashion, then stretch ceilings were transformed into a universal way of updating the interior. The canvases have become denser, less “fragrant”, with a fabric texture. They left only a couple of minuses-stretch ceilings still steal a height from the rooms and you can’t attach cornices for curtains to them. There is nothing to be done with the first drawback, and the second problem has several solutions. All methods of attaching cornices in a room with stretch ceilings can be divided into open and hidden. Not only the specificity of installation, but also the result depends on the selected type. The open method is more familiar. The cornice in this case is in sight. The hidden implies the installation of the cornice above the level of the stretch fabric. In this case, the original effect of the “soaring” ceiling is created. The open method of fixing the carnise fixing in an open way between the canvas and the ceiling must be laid a mortgage. Usually, a wooden beam is used for these purposes. It is rigidly fixed at the ceiling, and the cornice is already attached to it directly through the canvas. Modern materials for suspended ceilings are quite strong, so this method of installation is quite acceptable. The only thing is in those places where self -tapping screws will pass, it is necessary to stick tread rings. They will locally strengthen the canvas and will not let him crawl. The device of the cornice with a embedded beam. Photos from the site pinterest.ru difficulties can arise if there is a large distance between the stove and the stretch ceiling. Of course, you can increase the height of the bar, but, firstly, this will most likely affect the quality of the embedded, and secondly, this solution has restrictions, because there are cases when the space between the ceiling and the ceiling is too large. Using a beam as a mortgage allows even heavy cornices and curtains. If you plan a light design and light curtains, it is permissible to use special plastic embedded, which are attached to the ceiling using metal suspensions. Plastic embedded can be replaced with a timber fixed on metal suspensions. The hidden method of fixing this case of the stretch ceiling is mounted with an indentation from the window opening, and the cornice is fixed on a concrete overlap without any additional structures. Pros – the retreat can be anything. If the cornice is already there, it can be left in the same place. Minus is an unsightly appearance at the place of fastening of the cornice. If the indentation is small, it is not critical. In most cases, with this arrangement, the uncovered space is completely not noticeable. With a small indentation, the open part of the ceiling is almost invisible, but if you have to retreat quite a lot, you have to come up with something. For example, putty the base, paint. In a word – to bring in accordance with the main coating. However, it is almost impossible to achieve an ideal result. Therefore, you have to make an additional frame and mount a piece of stretch ceiling on it. This procedure significantly applies the work, but the result is worthy. The hidden method of fixing the cornice is another way – to perform a niche for the cornice, pulling the same canvas of the stretch ceiling, but in different levels. In this case, you can make a deepening not along the entire length of the wall, but only in the right place. The cornice is attached to the concrete overlap through the ceiling canvas. Niche for the cornice as a continuation of a stretch ceiling. Photos from the channel, repair tips from Nikolai Chubarov, there are special cornices that allow decorating the space between the ceiling and the wall. We fasten the cornice to the finished stretch ceilings the ceilings are already stretched, but at the same time there was a need to install ceiling cornices, you can use the following way. It is only important to understand that this decision is applicable in the most extreme case – and only when you are confident as a stretch fabric. Previously, you can consult a company that made you installation of ceilings, but not every master will agree with your decision – simply because it will not take responsibility for the consequences. In addition, for such fastening there are restrictions on the load, that is, both cornices and curtains will have to choose the lungs. So, for starters, using a marker, you need to mark the marking – mark the place of attaching the cornice to the ceiling. Next, the tread rings should be glued over marks. Inside the rings – make cutouts. Through them, the holes are drilled in concrete, the dowels are inserted. This is not the simplest task, given that the holes are small. The work is right for the jewelry. Next, it is necessary to measure the distance from the base to the stretch ceiling and, accordingly, prepare as many segments of the pipe as there are holes. Before cutting holes, stick tread rings. Photo from the channel stretch ceilings Kyiv 5plus important! The ends of the pipes must be leveled and processed so that there are no irregularities and sharp protrusions on them. We insert the pipe into the hole and with the help of self -tapping screws we attach the cornice to the ceiling through it. Each of the stages requires a super -chief performance so as not to damage the canvas of the stretch ceiling. Important! This method is not suitable for drywall bases. If no method is sure to fix the cornices to the ceiling. There are a lot of options for wall cornices that you can use if you have not come up to any of the ceiling mounting methods or you just don’t want difficulties. A variant of the wall cornice can visually adjust the height of the ceiling by attaching the curtains to the cornices. For example, use eyelets and a wide curtain tape. Curtains with eyelets so the curtain will reach the ceiling, creating a finished appearance. Read more about suspended ceilings here:
