What is the first thing to glue wallpaper or make a suspended ceiling? What to glue wallpaper or stretch ceiling first: the right choice What comes first, stretch ceiling or wallpaper.

“When are suspended ceilings installed? Should I glue wallpaper or install suspended ceilings first? - these are perhaps the most asked questions after the question - “how much does it cost?” Many organizations involved in suspended ceilings respond - upon completion of all apartment renovations, i.e. after completion of all types finishing works. I wouldn't agree with this. So, I'll tell you why. They answer this way only because, apart from suspended ceilings, nothing connects these organizations with construction and finishing work. Organizations that deal with the full range of finishing work can identify several scenarios when installing a stretch ceiling.

1. Stretch ceiling over the entire area of ​​the room.

If suspended ceiling will be adjacent to the walls without any decorative moldings, then first the walls are finished, and then the suspended ceiling is installed. Naturally, if you really want to, you can always influence the order of work and do the opposite, first the ceiling, and then the wallpaper. But then difficulties will arise - where to find craftsmen who will agree to glue wallpaper (or rather, trim it) under a suspended ceiling.

first wallpaper, then installation of stretch ceiling

That is, theoretically, it is possible to hang wallpaper after a stretch ceiling when there is no way out - the ceiling is standing, but the wallpaper is old and needs to be changed. But if you have a choice, then don’t listen to stories about:
“The suspended ceiling is mounted in some aluminum or plastic profile, which is attached to the wall every 10-15 cm around the entire perimeter of the room. If you have concrete or expanded clay concrete walls, then every 10-15 cm on your wallpaper there will be gray dust knocked out of the mounting holes with a puncher, but if you have brick house then the dust will be correspondingly red.”

We have been working with stretch ceilings for 9 years, and during this time we have installed wallpaper ceilings many times, and everything went smoothly and cleanly. Simply used when drilling walls special tools with a vacuum cleaner or simply add a vacuum cleaner.

In 99% of cases, suspended ceilings are installed after wallpapering (or other finishing of the walls), because this is more convenient for everyone. But there are always exceptions. If you have several rooms with suspended ceilings, then you can agree with the installer to split the installation into 2 stages:
1. For the rough finishing of the walls, they will install profiles for you, that is, they will do all the dusty work.
2. In a couple of weeks (when the wallpaper has already been hung on you), the installers will arrive and just fasten the stretch ceiling sheet into the pre-rolled profile. We are always ready to meet our clients' needs.

It will also be useful for you to know that there are several types of suspended ceiling fastenings. A standard profile for suspended ceilings leaves a 1.5 cm gap at the junction of the ceiling and wall after installation. This gap is closed with a plastic insert.

If baguettes are glued on top, then this insert will not be visible. But if you decide not to use baguettes, then it is better to choose gapless stretch ceilings, which have a perfectly tight joint between the ceiling and the wall without any gaps.

2. The stretch ceiling will be decorated with baguettes (ceiling plinths).

The second case is when the suspended ceiling will be installed over the entire area of ​​the room, but it will be decorated around the perimeter with baguettes (ceiling plinths). In this option, there is a strict procedure for the implementation of work, which cannot be changed. First, all the walls in the room are plastered, then the suspended ceiling is installed, and then the baguettes are glued under it. The baguettes are then puttied at the joints and painted, and only after that they begin to finish the walls, be it wallpaper or decorative plasters, but they come after the baguettes, under them.

first suspended ceiling, then baguettes and wallpaper

The sequence is as follows: suspended ceiling, then baguettes, and then finishing the walls with wallpaper or other materials.

The question of whether or not to use decorative baguettes in the design of your ceiling is purely a matter of your taste and the chosen interior style.

3. In a room with plasterboard boxes.

The first case is if the suspended ceiling is not stretched over the entire room, but only as an insert into plasterboard box. With this ceiling option, a certain amount of material is installed around the perimeter plasterboard construction, it can be a circle, an oval, a square or anything else, then it is puttied, painted and a suspended ceiling is inserted into the middle of this structure. With this option, I 100% agree with the opinion of most companies involved in suspended ceilings; the ceiling must be installed after painting the main ceiling, i.e. upon completion of all types of work. That is, at the time of installation of the stretch ceiling, the floor covering must be laid, the walls must be finished, and the plasterboard box must be installed, painted and puttied.

first we putty and paint the box, then we install the suspended ceiling

In some articles and forums, a bunch of “BUTs” are written on similar topics regarding the installation of a stretch ceiling at the end of the renovation. There are concerns: whether construction tools and sawhorses will damage the floor covering, and whether dust from drilling the walls will settle on the wallpaper and much more. In this case, we can only vouch for the installers of the World of Ceilings company - everyone is accepted necessary measures so that your finish remains safe and sound. That is, a vacuum cleaner is used so that not a single speck of dust settles on your wallpaper, the legs of the goats are wrapped so as not to scratch the floor covering, the floors are covered special material, and all other moments are also controlled to the maximum.

If you are not confident in the reliability of the company and ceiling installers, and there are concerns about finishing walls and floor, then you can only finish the work related to the plasterboard box: puttying, painting. Then they will install a suspended ceiling in it, and you will continue finishing the floor and walls with peace of mind - this scenario is also possible.

As a rule, in the case of a suspended ceiling in a plasterboard box, installation of the ceiling occurs after all other finishing work has been completed. As for the safety of the finishing that has already been done, let us worry - we have a lot of experience.

What first installation of suspended ceilings or wardrobes?

What to do first: a wardrobe up to the ceiling or installing a stretch ceiling and installing a cabinet underneath? We are inclined to believe that it is both more convenient and, as a result, more beautiful when they first make a wardrobe, and then stretch the stretch ceiling, attaching it to the upper base of the cabinet in the right places.

But there are opinions that: What if you decide to move the wardrobe to another apartment? I don’t know statistics on the number of wardrobes transported from one apartment to another, but this is not practical. After all, most often a wardrobe is installed from wall to wall and from floor to ceiling; the likelihood that in your next apartment you will need exactly these dimensions is negligible.

As for practicality in the installation sequence, we note: a suspended ceiling is a delicate matter, of course, it can be washed and rubbed with a rag, it will not be damaged when hit by a ball, but if, when lifting a cabinet, you hook it and pull it across the ceiling with something sharp, then there is a high probability of damage. Therefore, it is much more successful to first collect Big cupboard to the ceiling, making a 7 centimeter plinth in the upper part, and then install the suspended ceiling.

It is especially important to consider the sequence in the case of hidden ceiling lights. Then, even more so, you first need to make a cabinet, and then mount a profile with lighting above the cabinet so that the luminous strip does not go behind the cabinet.

What comes first: floors or suspended ceilings?

Here you need to start from the type flooring to properly plan the sequence of work. If it is laminate or vinyl floors, not to mention linoleum, that is, dust-free flooring, then it is most often produced after finishing the walls, and accordingly it can be done after the stretch ceiling.

But if we are talking about tiles on the floor, then the tiles are traditionally laid first, the laying (cutting) of which is accompanied by dust. The same applies to parquet, if you plan to lay parquet on the floor, then it is better to start with it. Sanding parquet flooring is a dusty business, and it can settle on the ceiling, so first the floor, then the suspended ceilings.

tiles and parquet up to the ceiling, laminate after

Summarize.

If you are installing a ceiling for the entire room, immediately determine whether you will use a baguette for decoration; if so, then mount the ceiling, then glue the baguette, and only then glue the wallpaper.

If you do not use a baguette, then decide for yourself when to install the ceiling. On the one hand, there is dust and a mounting gap on the wallpaper, and on the other hand, will the painter take up the wallpaper after installing the ceiling (trimming the wallpaper overlaps is done with a paint knife under the ceiling).

If the suspended ceiling is in a plasterboard box, then first all the finishing work (especially on the box), and then the ceiling.

If there is a wardrobe up to the ceiling, then first the wardrobe, then the suspended ceiling.

The sequence of installation of the floor or ceiling is determined by the type of floor covering. Tiles and parquet first, and laminate and linoleum - after the stretch ceiling.

Stretch ceiling - we attach it to the tiles.

What to do in front of stretch ceilings:

Is it possible to glue wallpaper before installing a stretch ceiling?
You can glue wallpaper up to suspended ceilings if the wallpaper on top is not decorated with baguettes (cornices). In the case of placing baguettes around the perimeter of the ceiling, you must first mount the suspended ceiling, glue the baguettes under it, and then glue the wallpaper.

I was always surprised that the word “repair” evoked negative emotions among many of my friends. And it would be good for men - they don’t like any changes at all. This is understandable and understandable - you can drink beer and lie on the sofa in any interior. But women often do not want to start renovating their apartments, because it is a long and financially expensive process. But for me personally, renovation is always a chore that promises a variety of pleasures and new acquaintances. Perhaps for some it is vanity, dirt and dust, but for me renovation, even cosmetic, is an opportunity to create a new space around me that is pleasing to the eye. Moreover, I really love everything new! And given the abundance of materials in construction stores, what was once a routine and difficult task turns into creativity!

Home is a place where a person spends most own life. And this place should be as comfortable as possible for him. That’s why a renovation was invented that turns ordinary premises into a work of art, where you want to return. Renovation is a great solution if you want a change.

It doesn’t matter whether you do the repairs yourself or invite workers to do it, sooner or later a problem will arise. actual question: “What first?” Not in the sense of philosophical reflections on the topic - what comes first, matter or consciousness, or what came first - the chicken or the egg. This is also very interesting, but when renovating, another question always arises - what is done first - suspended ceiling or wallpaper? Almost all happy home owners who are about to renovate are sure to ask this question. Most often this applies to rooms in which it is planned to install tension ceiling structure. In this regard, the question arises: “What came first - wallpaper or suspended ceiling?” Discussions on this issue turn into verbal battles, and the truth in a dispute is not always born. So let's try to figure it out.

Selection of materials

First, let's define what a stretch ceiling is. Stretch ceilings are made from different materials and are available in various modifications. They can be either seamless knitted fabric or PVC vinyl film. The main textures that are most popular are glossy, matte and satin. Accordingly, ceilings are made of fabric or film, and are attached to the walls using a profile. If we talk about choice, I personally prefer film (PVC) ceilings, because such ceilings, unlike fabric ones, are easy to clean, they have a variety of color shades, and are simply cheaper. In addition, only film ceilings are glossy. And I really love glare in the interior. Film ceilings have only one disadvantage - they do not allow air to pass through at all. Therefore, they should be used with caution in rooms with high humidity.

Variety of PVC ceiling colors

One of the advantages of the design is the improvement of room acoustics. In addition, the ceiling canvas can withstand heavy loads - about 100 kg per square meter. If a flood occurs from above, the ceiling will simply stretch, and after removing the water it will return to its previous shape.

Wallpaper is also a canvas that is rolled into a roll. Wallpapers are available on on different basis: paper, polymer, non-woven, fabric, combinations of these materials are also found. They can be patterned or plain, uniform or combined, and, as a rule, perform decorative functions.

The biggest drawback of wallpaper is its fragile material. No matter how the sellers convince us that vinyl and textiles are strong materials, wallpaper still breaks. Wallpaper fades in rooms exposed to the sun and does not have any sound insulation. They do not hide the unevenness of the walls at all, and even emphasize them. Wallpaper is easy to damage and quickly loses its decorative look and look sloppy. Wallpaper absorbs odors and accumulates dust on the surface, which is very difficult to remove. They are subject to mechanical damage. They are difficult to remove if you decide to change the interior of your room. However, wallpaper is still the leader among finishing materials, which decorate the walls. First of all, this is due to their relative affordability, as well as the ease of wall decoration.

Preparatory work

Any renovation begins with preparing the walls and ceiling. Regardless of what you decide to do ahead - wallpaper or suspended ceiling. Preparation is the first step and is very important. If the walls for wallpaper are not properly prepared, even the most expensive wallpaper will not look good on them, and the room will have a sloppy appearance. Inexpensive paper wallpaper on plastered and smooth walls they look much more advantageous compared to vinyl wallpaper, which are glued to the lumpy uneven walls, which were not freed from the old covering in the hope that “it won’t be visible under the wallpaper.” It will happen again! Even stains on the walls will be visible if you do not remove them. The same goes for ceilings. Of course, the design of the stretch ceiling will cover all the shortcomings. But if old plaster falls onto the canvas from the inside, it will be perfectly visible. You probably won't like it. Therefore, both the ceiling and walls must be completely prepared.

Pay special attention to areas where there is mold or mildew. Treat them with a special anti-lesion liquid. Give the walls and ceiling time to dry. Usually it takes 2-3 days. Prepare the electrical wiring, put it in a special cable and decide where you will have the chandelier. And after completing everything preparatory work You can now proceed to the most enjoyable stage of the renovation – decorating the surfaces.

Preparatory work on the ceiling and walls can be combined. This will help you avoid unnecessary waste the time it will take to clean the room after rough work.

What influences the order of work

Professionals suggest considering two options final finishing premises:

1. Cover the walls with wallpaper after installing the stretch ceiling.
2. Install the ceiling after wallpapering the walls.

Do they glue wallpaper first or make a suspended ceiling? Which sequence of actions should I choose? Both options can be called correct. And they will give excellent results if these works are carried out by experienced finishing specialists. However, each stage of finishing an apartment or other premises will in any case create some difficulties. This depends on certain circumstances that must be taken into account.

First, you need to decide whether you will install ceiling plinth. Secondly, you need to pay attention to the material from which the walls are made. And finally, thirdly, you need to know the quality of the fabric from which the suspended ceiling will be mounted, as well as the features of its fastening.

So what needs to be done first - paste wallpaper or stretch the ceiling? Should I install suspended ceilings before or after wallpapering? If you ask this question professional builders, you will never hear a definite answer. And this is understandable: if you first stretch the ceiling, then when wallpapering the walls, the thin canvas of the stretch ceiling can be easily damaged, and if you first wallpaper the walls, then when installing a profile for the stretch ceiling, you can just as easily stain the new wallpaper.

But most experts are of the opinion that walls should be covered with wallpaper after the profile to which the suspended ceiling will be attached has been installed.

In this case, the walls must be completely refined before the actual installation of the stretch ceiling, that is, the fabric is stretched when the walls are finally ready. What is the reason for this approach in terms of feasibility? Everything is very simple. In the process of installing the profile, a hammer drill and a drill are used, respectively, pieces of plaster, dirt and simply construction dust fly out from there, which settles on the walls. It is easily absorbed into the paint that covers the walls and into clean wallpaper, especially if it is fabric-based. Pieces of plaster can also get under the wallpaper, which is extremely undesirable, since the appearance of smooth walls will be ruined.

In addition, if you wallpaper the walls after the final installation of the stretch ceiling, you may accidentally damage the profile. Therefore, it is preferable to first install the ceiling molding, then lay the laminate or other floor covering, and lastly, finally stretch the ceiling fabric.

To finally decide what is done first - suspended ceiling or wallpaper, let's look at both options and determine the pros and cons of each of them.

First the wallpaper, then the ceiling

This option is used very often. And this is quite understandable - when stretching the ceiling after gluing the wallpaper, you don’t have to try to make exact joints between the wallpaper closer to the ceiling, and align them along the upper border. However, you should be prepared for what was mentioned above - the wallpaper can get dirty. In addition, the ceiling canvas is stretched when high temperature- above 50 degrees. And the wallpaper may simply peel off when the room heats up. Not everyone can withstand a week - and this is exactly the period after which the wallpaper completely dries out and stops responding to changes in temperature. However, the owners, as a rule, try to get the apartment in order as quickly as possible, and simply do not want to wait several days.

And one more point that is worth remembering - if the profile for a stretch ceiling is mounted directly on a wall that is already covered with wallpaper, this will make it difficult to re-glue the canvases in the future. Wallpaper wears out quite quickly, and it is customary to change it every 3-5 years. Unlike suspended ceilings, the shelf life of which is much longer.

First the ceiling, then the wallpaper

Finishers say that if you install a suspended ceiling first, and only then glue the wallpaper, you must remember that the rough preparation of the walls in the room must in any case be completed before the profile begins to be installed. If you do not prepare the wall before installation ceiling molding, it will never be installed exactly, and it will be impossible to hide defects in the future.

Therefore, in any case, first of all, it is necessary to perfectly align the walls of the room.

You also need to remember that if you first hung wallpaper, you can protect it with a special film, or even ordinary newspapers. But if you first installed a stretch ceiling, it is unlikely to be possible to cover it, and drips of wallpaper glue can cause irreparable harm to the canvas - you simply will not be able to clean the surface of the ceiling later, and sloppy traces of glue will appear on a perfectly smooth canvas. While a glossy film ceiling can still be wiped off, an expensive fabric ceiling is almost impossible to clean.

Our choice is staged finishing

So, when discussing what comes first - wallpaper is glued or a suspended ceiling is made, comparing the pros and cons of different sequences of finishing work, we have to admit that optimal choice- This step-by-step installation stretch ceiling, which we have already discussed above. If you want your renovation to please you, and decorative coverings walls and ceiling were in perfect condition, the sequence of actions should be as follows:

• Rough wall finishing, which involves leveling with putty and plaster. Smooth walls- this is the main component quality repairs, and the design of your apartment. No matter what expensive finishing materials you choose, they will not hide the unevenness of the walls and will negate all your efforts. Whatever material you choose for decoration and finishing, leveling the walls is an essential component of a quality renovation.
• Installation of a profile for a suspended ceiling. The profile (aka baguette) is fixed to the surface of the ceiling and walls of the room, and must meet reliability requirements.
• Wallpapering prepared walls. This is the most popular and easiest to implement type of wall decoration. The technique of this type of decoration is quite simple, and even a non-professional can perform it. However high quality finish requires walls certain rules. This is especially true for pasting the corners of the room, as well as window and door openings.
• And finally, installing a stretch ceiling. Installation of a stretch ceiling does not require special effort, however for quality installation Some construction equipment is required. In particular, to install film ceilings you need an air heater, and specialists who install suspended ceilings bring with them heat gun And gas cylinder for her work.

With this sequence of actions, you can avoid all the disadvantages that we discussed above.

In the process of renovating an apartment, sooner or later the question arises: should I do the ceiling first or glue the wallpaper? Pasting wallpaper or, conversely, preparing structures for a stretch ceiling? Each person counts differently, based on his own personal experience or advice from friends. But this article will provide the most correct answer to this question.

What's important

Renovating the life of a young couple or an established family is always a difficult and painstaking task. It is important to decide in advance whether the family can cope on their own or will have to resort to the help of specialists. Sometimes, when only certain parts of a room need to be repaired, no problems arise. When it is necessary to do a full repair with all the components, a whole list of questions arises.

In order to determine the progress of the work being performed, it is necessary to analyze each type into individual elements. The complexity of this issue lies in the fact that the process may disrupt one of the stages of finishing work.

Of course, there is no danger that accompanies walls when painting, but nevertheless, deciding in advance what to do first is very important.

Ceiling

With any renovation, everything starts from the ceiling - this is what many books on construction work, on which knowledge is based professional craftsmen. We have to agree with this. This is what you should start from in order to first make a stretch ceiling.

The action stage involves:

Main nuances

When the installation of a stretch ceiling is carried out after gluing the wallpaper, the installation becomes dangerous for them and the entire room for the reason that the gun can not only leave burns on the walls, but also cause a fire in the room due to the ignition of the coatings. How to make a suspended ceiling after wallpapering the walls is shown in the following video:

Another disadvantage of the stretch ceiling installation procedure after wallpapering is the dust that appears on the wallpaper from self-tapping screws and dowel screws. If the wallpaper is washable, then it will not be difficult to remove dust from it after. But still, here we must not forget about fire safety rules.

Another tip that states that it is better to glue wallpaper on last stage when the ceilings are done.

In some cases, the installation of a stretch ceiling is carried out using a harpoon-free method, that is, the fabric is tightly stretched and secured to special fasteners, and most importantly, a heat engine is not used. But the disadvantage of this type of fastening is the sagging of the material, which begins after a few years, as the fasteners weaken, and low-quality material can stretch.

Wallpapering

Sometimes, sometimes it is necessary to glue the wallpaper first, but in this case it is necessary to choose the right type and quality of material for pasting. Today there are more than 3,000 varieties, but we can safely highlight the main and most common ones, which should absolutely not be glued before installing suspended ceilings:

In the case of pasted wallpaper, before installing suspended ceilings, you must wait 3 to 5 days so that they have time to dry. Otherwise, under the influence of the heat engine, the glue will begin to evaporate, and the wallpaper will peel off from the walls.

As mentioned earlier, dust may remain on the glued wallpaper, but removing it with a vacuum cleaner or hammer drill is strictly prohibited, otherwise there is a risk that a strong air flow may tear the wallpaper. It is best to use a dry microfiber cloth and wipe the wallpaper with consistent back-and-forth movements. Professionals always glue wallpaper after all stages of installation, which are carried out on the ceiling.

To hide uneven corners wallpaper often uses a decorative groove, which can externally unite the walls and ceiling.

Brief conclusion about the main thing

In any case, when the question is asked - what to do first: the ceiling or the wallpaper - the answer is clear. For the reason that, due to the fact that actions with the ceiling will be carried out primarily, it will be possible to avoid stains, holes in the wallpaper, “wallpaper falling behind” the walls, and even, possibly, avoid a fire. It is recommended to glue wallpaper as the final stage of repair work.

What to do first - glue wallpaper and install a suspended ceiling - the following video will help:

The logical question “What comes first - wallpaper or suspended ceiling” is faced by everyone who has chosen these finishing materials as finishing materials. For those who are making repairs for the first time, it is really unclear whether to mount the canvas before or after gluing. Both cases have their advantages and disadvantages, let's talk about them, and then we'll figure out in which cases it is better to first attach the tension fabric, and in which to put the walls in order.

IF YOU START WITH THE WALLS

This order of wall finishing is preferred in cases where there is a fear of staining the suspended ceiling. The fear is justified: the stretch fabric is very susceptible to contamination, it is impossible to wash it, and buying a new one is expensive. Second advantage: installation of ceilings involves several stages: first, measurements are taken, baguettes and canvas are made required sizes. From the visit of the measurers to the time the canvas is ready, it takes 5-6 days. During this time, you can not only finish the walls, but also wait for it to dry completely.

Opponents of this sequence of work give the following arguments:

When installing baguettes, installers do a large number of holes, a lot of construction dust appears, which can contaminate the finish. It’s true that when using a rotary hammer with a vacuum cleaner, dust appears. But even if there is no suitable power tool, already decorated walls can be protected with film.

To install PVC sheeting, it is necessary to warm the room to +60°. This temperature can cause the wallpaper to peel off. It’s easy to avoid such consequences: just let the finish dry thoroughly. 6-7 days after gluing, heating the room should not in any way affect the quality of adhesion of the canvases to the walls.

If you glue the wallpaper before installing the baguette, difficulties may arise when you need to re-glue it. However, everything will go smoothly if, before gluing, you mark the level of fastening of the baguette around the perimeter. Then you can easily stick the wallpaper on the walls exactly up to the baguette and, if necessary, peel it off after time.

Judging in general, gluing earlier is almost always a good idea. the best option. Problems can be avoided and all risks can be minimized. And most importantly, if something goes wrong, the problem can be corrected.

IF YOU START FROM THE CEILING

A suspended ceiling cannot be protected from contamination during finishing work. Therefore, if you plan to paint them immediately after wallpapering, this procedure is unacceptable.

Among the advantages of this sequence is that this way you don’t have to check the quality of the wall finishing under extreme conditions when the room is heated. It will also be easier to glue the wallpaper: you don’t need to draw and try to glue along the line; the canvas can be cut evenly using a sharp stationery knife.

Among the disadvantages is high sensitivity tension fabric to contamination, impossibility of cleaning. With such a sequence, there is definitely a risk of ruining the repair before it is completed. The second nuance: after installing the canvas itself, decorative industrial tape is glued around the perimeter. Its presence complicates trimming wallpaper.

PERFECT OPTION

The best option is step-by-step installation stretch ceiling. This approach ensures that neither the walls nor the tension fabric will be damaged or stained during the wall finishing process. The sequence of actions is as follows:

Wall leveling: priming, puttying, priming. In order for the finish to be durable, it is necessary to prime the walls at each stage. It is important to carefully level the walls, otherwise the baguette will not lie flat, and the resulting gaps will be difficult to hide.

Installation of baguette. The risk of wallpaper contamination with construction dust is eliminated. There will be no problems when re-pasting the wallpaper.

Wall decoration. The baguette can be cleaned of dirt; without decorative tape there are no difficulties when trimming the wallpaper.

Installation of tension fabric. Installation of the canvas is carried out without dust, there will no longer be a risk of staining the material.

With this sequence, there are practically no risks. All that remains is the need to heat the room if the sheets are made of PVC.

The only drawback of the phased installation of a stretch ceiling is the high cost of the work, since installers do not have the opportunity to do everything in one day. For the same reason, all finishing work takes longer than in the case when wallpapering and ceiling installation are completed in one go.

WE MAKE A DECISION

If your renovation has an unlimited budget and time frame, then, of course, the best option would be a phased installation of ceilings. If funds are limited, or if you are wallpapering for painting, do the walls first. It is advisable to start with ceiling installation in cases where the wallpaper is fragile and highly susceptible to dirt or high temperatures.

During overhaul finishing work in an apartment usually includes changing the flooring, finishing the walls and ceiling.

Everything is clear with floor repairs; they do it first.

But with the walls and ceiling, the question arises: should I glue the wallpaper or the suspended ceiling first?

After all, each of these processes creates dust and dirt in the room, which contribute to the contamination of the new coating.

To accept correct solution, it is necessary to carefully understand the order in which each work is performed, the relationship between them and the materials used.

Factors influencing the order of work

In this situation, experts will offer 2 options:

• Pasting the walls after installing the tension fabric;
• Installation of the tension fabric after gluing the wallpaper and completing all finishing work in the apartment.

Both options will be correct, and if correct execution works good specialists will give a positive result. But in reality, each job can present its own difficulties.
It all depends on the repair conditions and some factors:

• Is it possible to install a ceiling plinth?
• What material are the walls made of?
• The tension fabric used with the fastening system;
• The quality of the cladding, which will affect the frequency of its change;
• Texture and color selected for the stretch fabric.

The optimal solution to the problem of rough work

There is an optimal way out of the situation, which includes joint rough work on the walls and ceiling.

The collaborative process consists of:

• Removal of old finishing materials;
• antifungal composition;
• Elimination of defects in the form of cracks, holes, etc.;
• Surface leveling, plaster and putty.
• Upon completion of surface preparation, the measurers simultaneously begin their duties: installers measure their structure, wallpaper pasters measure the walls.

The final rough work consists of attaching the baguette to the base and installing metal structure, installation of sound insulation.

Having completed everything roughing processes After preparing the room, the team begins wallpapering. Glue the wallpaper after the surface has completely dried. All edges under the baguettes are trimmed stationery knife before installing the tension fabric, so as not to accidentally damage it.

The papered walls are left to dry, after which the installers begin their duties. tension structure.

Their job is to install ceiling lighting fixtures and attaching the tension fabric to a pre-prepared structure.

This order of the joint process is also not ideal. It cannot be guaranteed that installers will not accidentally damage facing material. But such a sequence of performing all actions is optimal solution Problems.

Installing canvases before decorating walls

Priority installation of tension elements is beneficial when choosing PVC sheets. During stretching, the room and the canvas need to be heated with a heat gun, which can have a detrimental effect on the glued wallpaper.

Elevated temperatures cause joints to lag behind the walls, and some types can even become deformed.

If canvases are selected for light colors, paper or fabric, it is better to stick them after installing the ceiling. The fact is that they are afraid of wet cleaning.

And you can’t do without this. To mount the profile in the wall, you will have to drill holes, so dust contamination cannot be avoided. Dust from red brick will get especially dirty.

It is more convenient to install decorative plinths when stretched ceiling. It is mounted on a bare wall, since the canvas is too fragile, and the canvases “play” when different temperatures along with the baseboard.

When gluing the plinth, there is no risk of staining the strips with glue. The edges of the sheet will be trimmed along the edge of the baseboard, which ensures the safety of the sheet.

Before starting repairs, it is necessary to take into account the frequency of changing wallpaper. If they are expected to be re-glued frequently, it is better to glue them end to end. decorative plinth. They will be easy to remove from surfaces without damaging the tension fabric.

• In this case the order is:
• Preparation of the wall surface;
• Ceiling installation;
• Installation of decorative plinth;
• Pasting the base.
• Pasting wallpaper before installing the ceiling

Installing ceilings in a room requires taking measures to protect them from contamination and damage. The main enemy of damp wallpaper is drafts and sudden climate changes. The room must dry for at least 5 days, after which it is advisable to cover all the walls with film.

Drilling surfaces for baguettes creates dust in the room, which will settle not only on the floor, but also on the walls. Using a hammer drill with a vacuum cleaner will help reduce dust formation.

The disadvantage of this method is the difficulty of removing the wallpaper pressed with a baguette when re-gluing it. Actually this is not true. It is easy to cut them with a knife along the baguette and glue new ones butt to it. Compliance simple rules and caution when installing the ceiling will remain new decor on the walls.

Having studied all the pros and cons, we can say that installing a ceiling can do little harm to wallpapered walls. Basically, ceiling installation is the final stage of repair work.
