Flat Repair Flattening And Plastering Ceiling By Lighthouses

Before you start repairing the apartment, you need to do some preparatory work. For our future work, the following tools will be needed: rule, spatula, plaster falcon, level, drill with a mixer attachment, a plastering kneading bucket, a roller and a bath for priming walls and ceilings.

For this we will need: a spatula, a hammer, a brush or a broom. Since the main repairs begin with the plastering of the walls, we need to prepare them. To do this, remove the old wallpaper or clean the painting, priming the walls and ceiling with a special primer, you can use a universal.

Stucco ceiling on lighthouses . Now about everything in order, first we need to determine the unevenness of walls and ceilings, this can be done with the help of a wide rule on the clearance. After simple procedures, proceed to the plaster ceiling. After we have prepared the surface, we treated it with a primer, by the way, for the treatment of a ceiling made of solid concrete, we recommend the use of concrete contact, it includes a special fractionated filler, hard grains, which when dried give the smooth surfaces a wide, which at times increases Adhesion with subsequent materials to concrete. Pour the primer into the tray and use a roller to thoroughly work the surface. Let the primed surface dry.

After our base has dried up, we proceed to installation of beacons, they are necessary for leveling the ceiling in a flat surface, we choose aluminum beacons, they can not be removed after the surface has dried, since they are not susceptible to corrosion. We raise a small amount of gypsum plaster and fix it beacons at a distance less than the width of the rule, we expose them in one plane using the level and rule.

After the plaster holding the beacons has hardened, we proceed to the main work. For plastering the ceiling in the living room, we use plaster of gray color, as it provides good sound insulation and a cozy microclimate. In addition, with gypsum plaster, you do not need to be afraid that it will crack or shrink, as this is a gypsy-plaster.

When leveling the ceiling, it is important to remember, the layer of plastering should not be used two centimeters ,. During the preparation of the mixture, pay special attention to the following: observe the mixing proportions indicated on the bag, add the mixture to the water, and not vice versa, after five minutes stir the solution again. The solution is ready, you can proceed to leveling the surface.

We begin the main stage, the plaster ceiling on the lighthouses. Using a putty knife, we put plaster on the surface of the ceiling, filling the interstitial space, carefully fill the depressions and hollows. Then stretch the applied plaster rule, moving it along the lighthouses, remember that when working with gypsum plasters, they are applied in one layer. Here in the printseep and everything, with the observance of certain rules, anyone who wishes can perform the plaster work.

Now we proceed to leveling the walls, the entire procedure associated with this stage of repair, repeats the process of repairing the ceiling, grounding, installing beacons and applying plaster. The finishing of the wall with the window will be carried out in two stages: leveling the common wall and removing the slopes. We prepare the wall and put out lighthouses, standard for the wall and angled for the slopes. For plastering this wall, it is recommended to use moisture-resistant gypsum plaster.

At this stage the plastering of the walls and ceiling is finished. And so, we define the basic stages of plastering:

1. We determine the degree of unevenness of walls and ceiling, pay attention to the property of base materials
2. We prepare surfaces, we clean from a dust, a dirt, ground
3. We set the beacon profiles, leveling them according to the level and fixing with gypsum plaster
4. At the last stage we apply plaster and stretch it by the rule
