The use of rack technology in the process of arranging ceilings is becoming increasingly popular. If installed incorrectly, gaps may appear on the structure that will spoil its aesthetic appearance and cause condensation.
Therefore, it is recommended to trust all installation work to professionals. If you want to independently install a rack ceiling, you need to follow certain rules, observing the general technology.
How to avoid cracks?
Some believe that the appearance of cracks in the rack ceiling is due to the design features, and not to the incorrect actions of the installers. This is not so, because with a competent and accurate installation, you can not only get rid of the gaps in the design, but also prevent their appearance in the future.
The main error that occurs during installation is the inability to cut guide profiles at an angle of 45 degrees. It often happens that pre-prepared profiles do not fit together, and gaps occur in the area of their connection.
You can get rid of the gaps if you cut the profiles in place - that is, directly in the process of their installation. For trimming, it is recommended to use sharp scissors for metal processing. Thanks to this technique, a joint of guide profiles that is aesthetically pleasing from a visual point of view can be obtained.
Using a U-shaped profile
During installation, not everyone uses p-shaped profiles, which can prevent the appearance of gaps. It is noteworthy that their purchase does not even need to spend money. These elements can be obtained from the remains of the trimmed profile.
Sliced fragments must be installed at each junction of the ceiling slats. They will not be visible to the naked eye, but will prevent any deformation of the ceiling and the appearance of unaesthetic gaps. At the junction of the first strip, it is recommended to insert a fragment of the profile along the entire length of the structure.
Such improvised latches will make the rack ceiling design more rigid, resistant to pressure and mechanical stress. They are also guaranteed to protect against the appearance of cracks and crevices in the process of replacing bulbs or installing new lighting fixtures.
Another nuance that often causes controversy. How to insert the last bar so that it does not deform and does not spoil the general view of the entire structure?
It is worth remembering that the last to insert the penultimate rail. In this case, gaps are not guaranteed to form in the structure.
