A lot of materials are now represented in the construction market – they are really available to everyone, and new technologies turn repairs into true creativity and allow a beginner to realize the most daring design ideas. Speaking about the ceiling, now in the trend of a suspended ceiling, which is very durable thanks to its design. Having selected PVC panels for the repair of the ceiling in the kitchen, you get moisture resistant to moisture, a finishing material that has been serving for many years, which is successful not only among masters, but also among consumers.

It is important to think not only about aesthetics, but also practicality – especially when it comes to the room where we cook food. Plastic panels allow you to achieve a smooth ceiling coating, they can be washed with detergents, and this effect will not be negative!

The process of installing PVC panels on the ceiling is phased. How the house begins with the foundation, so such a ceiling begins with a metal frame.

When the frame is ready, you can safely proceed with the sheathing with plastic.

It is important to note that modern technologies completely ruin the common stereotype that the repair should be carried out exclusively by professionals. You can significantly save money by doing everything yourself, exactly the way you want! Plastic is a material that is very easy to process, and, importantly in our crisis time, it is represented in a very democratic price segment.
Installation of a frame for a ceiling made of plastic panels
In order to mount the frame structure for your ceiling, you need CD and UD profiles used mainly for working with drywall.

UD profile
They are the most profitable solution in comparison with the usual wooden rail. Such profiles allow you to quickly make high -quality leveling, while creating a really reliable frame, and all this can be done quickly. Much faster than when working with rails. Moreover, work with a tree will cause you difficulties in the future: wooden rails have a lesser life, are subject to the natural decay process and are deformed due to moisture differences in the atmosphere.
Phased installation of the ceiling
First, mark the level of the plane of the frame. You can do this most accurately using the building level. With its help, you can easily mark the places you need for the installation of guide profiles. So you can accurately determine the flat location of the ceiling from PVC panels.
Marking the plane
Set the stiffeners in the profiles to finish preparations for the direct consolidation of the planks. Most often, they are installed along the window walls – thus, the joints are almost invisible. Perpendicular to laying plastic strips install CD supporting profiles.
Installing stiffeners
In advance, before installation, cut the supporting profiles in accordance with the size of the room. After install them in the grooves of the guides, fastening the profiles with small screws. It is customary to install CD profiles with a step of 60 cm-this is the optimal step in which the ceiling does not sag.

It is important to give the stiffness of the frame. Therefore, supporting profiles are attached to the main ceiling. With a small gap, you can use conventional P-shaped pendants, and if the distance is significant, it will be more correct to use the “fast suspension” with knitting needles.

You can also independently make a peculiar “boots” from the UD-profile-particles in the Mr. The long part is attached to the profile, short – to the ceiling. If you choose this method, install such “boots” in a checkerboard pattern, to give the strength of the structure.

The installation for a suspended ceiling itself, of course, requires a preliminary installation of a profile or a simple plastic skirting board around the perimeter of the room. The installation of a special skirting board will take much more time, especially for an unskilled specialist. Correctly trim the angle inside and outside, insert the panels into the skirting boards are time -consuming processes in which even professionals can make mistakes. By the way, they more often choose the starting profile, and at the end of the installation of the ceiling, fix the baguettes with silicone.
Profile around the perimeter of the room
The starting strip is fixed around the perimeter of the room on all sides, with the exception of the opposite beginning. Now you can start directly mounting plastic PVC panels to your ceiling. Plastic is cut in strips of the desired size and inserted into the prepared profile.
Fixing PVC panels
A mistake with measurements can be critical, so do not rush and measure the material thoroughly. For trimming, it will be convenient for you to use a hacksaw with small teeth – a hacksaw for metal is ideal.
PVC trimming
You will quickly and carefully cut the material! First, the strip is inserted into the profile with one side, after – the second, then it is shifted and inserted with the entire length. A small screwdriver can help you facilitate the installation, which you can correct the plastic and ensure that it confidently gets into the groove.

The remaining PVC plastic panels are mounted on the ceiling in the same way. Everything, with the exception of the last strip. There will be no starting profile, otherwise it would not have fit in size, and it would not be physically accommodated. The panel will need to be carefully glued with silicone. In order to make it accurately accurately, you need to cut the shelf of the starting profile with a knife on the back.

The last PVC panel is installed, your ceiling is ready, and you did not spend a penny on the call of the master! A feasible process for any householder who has a desire to learn how to mount the ceiling.
