Ceiling plaster

The ceiling plays a huge role in the interior of any room. A suitable color, a special finish of the ceiling surface emphasizes the style and purpose of a particular audience. An important part of this type of work is quality and competent execution. The decoration of the room, complemented by various types of lamps and fixtures, and just daylight, can ruthlessly reveal flaws in the ceiling decoration.

Ceiling finishing methods

The modern construction market has a large selection of materials for finishing ceilings. With their help, ceiling surfaces can be:

• whitewash
• paint
• make hanging
• wallpaper
• prepare for tiling

Each type of finish requires preliminary priming and plastering.

Preliminary part of the ceiling surface finishing

The work can be carried out both in a new building and in old buildings that require repair. In a new building with a concrete ceiling, plastering begins with the preparation of the foundation. To do this, the surface is roughened by notching. Such a technique will serve to better fix the plaster. After priming the ceiling, you need to start treating the ceiling part of the floor slabs with cement mortar.

If plastering works are required in old houses, it is necessary to dismantle the old coatings:

• remove lime soaked in water with a spatula
• remove the water-based paint with a composition of water and iodine
• remove fungal growths with a solution of copper sulfate and water

After dismantling, the surface is washed off with water and left to dry.

The finishing of wooden ceilings begins with the stuffing of a metal mesh, which will serve as a tight coupling with plaster.

Ceilings, hemmed by the HCP, also need to be cleaned of dirt. On dried surfaces, the areas where the plates are joined are treated with a primer. Screws and screws are masked with a special tape. Putty equalizes errors.

Choice of finishing material

Each type of ceiling corresponds to certain materials consisting of mixtures:

• gypsum
• sand and cement
• lime
• decorative plaster;
• foam crumbs
• polymers

Varieties of plaster composition

The main indicator of the plaster mixture (ready or dry) is elasticity, adhesion quality, stability. Plasters are:

• Cement. Suitable for working with concrete surfaces. The material is characterized by versatility, wear resistance.
• Plaster. They are used for finishing wooden and plasterboard ceilings. The plaster stands out for its excellent stickiness. Sometimes it is produced with fillers, for example, with sand.
• Clay. These solutions can be used for finishing clay plots. They are resistant to temperature and humidity changes.
• Calcareous. Economical material. It has high thermal insulation, durability.

Decorative plaster

Decorative ceilings will help to give luxury and sophistication to any room. Working with finishing plaster requires certain skills. Only qualified craftsmen can do the finishing neatly and quickly. Plaster happens:

• Mineral. The material is very durable due to Portland cement, resistant to fungi and moisture.
• Acrylic. It is characterized by rapid drying, plasticity, heat resistance. This type of finishing also requires the presence of professional specialists.
• Silicone. The most expensive type of material. It is characterized by polychrome, imitation of stones. Silicone surfaces are easy to wash.

Mechanized ceiling plaster

Mechanized ceiling finishing is a quality and significant time saving. Construction digs will help you with the choice of materials, offer the help of craftsmen with their equipment.

Advantages of mechanized technologies

First of all it is:

• uninterrupted operation
• the ability to continuously produce the finished solution, transport it to a height
• applying the mixture under pressure, eliminating the formation of voids
• shortening the repair time
