All who carried out repairs on their own sooner or later came across the problems of uneven ceilings. It is not a secret to anyone that the quality of the final finish is largely determined by the preparation of the basis. What is the process of aligning the ceiling?
The ceiling can be leveled in two main methods – raw and dry. The latter is the use of metal, plastic and drywall plates. When aligning the ceilings, there is a place to mix several building mixtures or mixing them with water. Such materials are putty and plaster. Each method has its own requirements for the use, application and use.
If we are talking about leveling a surface up to 5 centimeters in size. Initially, the surface is cleaned of the existing residues of the existing old coating, as well as from all particles that are not held firmly on the ceiling zone. With a large amount of dust, it is necessary to wash the surface of the ceiling area with a damp cloth. After that, they begin directly to the marking of the level to which the plaster layer itself will be applied. They recommend that such work be carried out using a water level.
To ensure a better adhesion of the surface of the ceiling with finishing material, it is advisable to clean the ceiling with a metal -type brush. After that, a layer of primer is applied.
