How Does a Suspended Ceiling Work

When making a suspended ceiling, it goes through many processes. These processes, which are difficult for some, can be seen as an easy system for others. Let’s examine how to make a suspended ceiling together. First of all, let’s get to know the materials we will use in the construction of suspended ceilings:

• Ceiling C Profile
• Ceiling U Profile
• Hanger Rod(Attachment)
• Carrier Profile
• Intermediate Apparatus
• Trumpet Screw(2.5 , 3 cm)
• Profile Cutting Scissors
• dowel
• Dowel Fixing Screw
• Miter
• Spirit Level
• Drill
• Utility Knife
  Let’s examine the construction of the suspended ceiling step by step

1 stage

• The space where you will apply the suspended ceiling is primarily planned. Then the measurement is taken with the help of a meter.
  Provided that the gaps of the grid to be laid are not too small, it is laid evenly.
• Apply from one end to the other, fitting the grid to be laid.
• If there are areas with tiles, plan them so that they do not come to the tiles.
• Leave a space of 10-15 cm from the area where you took the measure (this space is left for the location of the fixtures and tiles)
• Cut the ceiling profiles you will use with the profile cutting scissors in accordance with the dimensions of the space you receive with the help of the meter.
• If you have a corner protruding from your wall, cut the wall angles to those walls 1 ⁄ 2 inches (1.3 cm) longer than your measurements.
  In cases where the ceiling profiles are short, you can combine them by using the intermediate apparatus.
• Screw the profiles tightly with the help of a drill in accordance with the dimensions you have taken.
• The most important thing to pay attention to during assembly is that the profiles are flat.

Stage 2

• Cut the rails you have laid in line with your measurements, perpendicular to the beams, using scissors.
• The rails you install are strong enough to support the weight of the ceiling.
• Tie a rope, leaving 1-2 meters between them.
• Do the rope tying application to the entire ceiling
• Screw in every third beam along the string you have tied.
• Continue the screwing process along the ceiling to be applied.
• Pass wires through the hole at the head of your screw
• The length of the wire should be about 20 – 25 cm.
• Thread the wire through the hole about 5 – 6 cm and bend it with pliers so that it is facing down.
• Install perpendicular to the grid by clipping the secondary rails
• Lay out all the secondary rails so that they go into the main rail.

Stage 3

• If you are going to make the suspended ceiling illuminated, drill holes in the plaster at the desired intervals for duct work.
• Shape the tiles you cut from the edges to fit the suspended ceiling
• Starting in the center of the ceiling, work towards the edges of the ceiling
• When installing the tiles, make sure you are fully seated.
