The ceiling repair is intended not only to restore the condition of the ceiling, but also to change the style of the whole room. In this case, the ceiling should be not only beautiful, but also strong.
The ceiling repair scheme depends on the type of ceiling. Practice shows that there are currently many types of ceilings. They are divided into suspended, plaster and main. Suspended ceilings can be: divided into panel, rack, self -adhesive, stretch and drywall. Plasterboard ceilings require additional surface treatment. Plastering ceilings are created only for further painting or for pasting.
After choosing a ceiling repair scheme, it’s time to decide on the necessary material and tools. In most cases, this is a standard set of tools, including spatulas, brushes, rollers, etc. D. This tool is for everyone in the garage or pantry. If something is missing, all the tools and materials for repairing the ceiling are sold in construction stores.
Consider the painting as an option for repairing the ceiling. This version includes several stages: preparation and leveling of the surface for painting and painting itself.
Preparation for the repair of the ceiling is:
1. Remove the old layer (wallpaper, paint, etc. D.).
2. Evaluation of the condition of the ceiling.
3. Fill in the damage in plaster (alignment) of the surface.
The process of removing the wallpaper during the repair of the ceiling is so famous. If the wallpaper is not torn off, then you need to walk through them with a wet wetland and leave for 30-40 minutes. They are smoky and almost independently fall off.
Cretaceous whitewashing during the repair of the ceiling, washing off amazingly easily with warm water and wetland (or simple fabric). Oil paint is removed using a solvent. I advise you to work with open windows and stock up on a respirator, or you can be poisoned.
The valuation of the ceiling condition during repair is made very easily. Visually, we are examining visible cracks, holes, swollen layers of plaster.
Elimination of damage during the repair of the ceiling is done using plaster. Which type of plaster to use depends on the nature and degree of damage. You can read additional information about the plaster of walls and ceiling in the relevant articles on our website. There will also be described in detail and the method of plaster when repairing the ceiling. The only condition is that if you want to make several layers, the subsequent layer of plaster is applied only to the dry first layer.
After the layer of plaster dries during the repair of the ceiling, the ceiling must be primed. The primer stage should be perceived very carefully, since it depends on whether your wallpaper or paint will hold. It is better to take a deep penetration primer and go into one layer over the entire surface. The primer is applied with a roller, a wide brush or wet. For the next stage of the ceiling repair, you must wait until the primer dries.
During the painting of the surface, when repairing the ceiling, the following tools are needed: a wide roller, paint and a tray for rolling paint. Firstly, you must read the instructions for the paint and strictly adhere to it. Particular attention should be paid to the methods of breeding colors. In addition, the paint usually indicates the optimal number of layers used in the repair of the ceiling. First of all, prepare the brushes for paint. You will need this for those places where the roller is not suitable.
To apply a colorful layer when repairing the ceiling, you must adhere to three rules. Firstly, the paint is not applied directly to the surface of the ceiling. It should be rolled up in a special tray. So the paint is evenly distributed along the colorful roller.
Secondly, you need to paint quickly. It is desirable that one layer is applied no more than half an hour. If you need it, you can invite the assistant.
And the third. Try to paint without returning to the already colored areas of the ceiling. If you don’t like something, it is better to use the second layer that will fix everything. Moreover, you can get a false impression of the quality of the paint layer from your place. In this case, ask your assistant who looks from a different angle, evaluate the problem with his own eyes.
