Ceiling of gypsum board with backlighting

Often when repairing, if possible, to improve the appearance of the room, your thoughts touch the ceiling. The best option here is to attach gipsokartonnye sheets. And to make the illumination of the suspended ceiling from plasterboard - this is a dream. In addition, if you have some skills in electrical engineering, you can make such a highlight yourself. But it's better to invite a specialist if you are not actually an electrician by profession. Under no circumstances should you put your hopes on the "maybe", because if the wires are connected incorrectly, a fire can result from a short circuit. If you still decide to do this kind of work personally, we wish you good luck.

To begin with, we determine the shape of your ceiling. Either the design will be single-level, more suitable for small rooms, or multi-level. Do not forget when choosing a drywall ceiling that it hides from eight to fifteen centimeters of the room space. All depends on the curvature of the overlap plates.

For multi-level ceilings, rooms with a nominal large volume of space are suitable. In spacious rooms, you can perform a multi-level ceiling with backlighting much more intricate configurations.

Which highlighting should I choose?

LED ceiling lighting from gypsum board is the simplest and suitable option for any room. Choose between LED lights designed specifically for gypsum cardboard ceilings and LED strip .

Functional, practical and very beautiful will be the gaze of diode illumination. Unfortunately, it can only be performed in multi-level ceilings, where there is a ledge - a niche along the edge. The tape is fastened in these boards. The device itself gypsum cardboard ceiling will cause difficulties, and not at all securing the diode tape. It will not be easy to produce curved configurations independently, so it's better to stop on square or rectangular contours along the perimeter of the entire room.

Backlight can make different tones, shades - cold or warm, bright or pale. It does not consume much electricity and is not heated very much. Without any difficulties, it is placed in niches and connected to the electrical network. It is difficult, however, it will be attached to yourself because of poor lighting during repairs, it is better to use a carry-over with an extension cord.

There is another way to decorate the room elegantly with the help of recessed lighting fixtures. They can be either an addition to the diode band, or an independent lighting option.

If you place the lamps with your own hands, then you try to carefully cut the circles in the plasterboard.

Types of illumination

The backlight of the gypsum board can also be hidden. It, of course, gives the ceiling a creative, stylish look, but is used only as a decoration.

Neon lighting is a gas-light flexible tube that can be of any color. From it, smooth outlines are easily created, but just like a diode tube, it needs a ceiling bead. For the sake of originality, it is possible to launch neon not only on the ceiling, but also somewhere on the wall, or even on the interior of the room. The technology is as complicated as it is with diode tubes, the best thing is with a professional.

Be that as it may, the lighting of the ceiling is not enough. If you do not want to live your whole life in the shadows, we advise you to hang the chandelier. And the lighting is used only as a decoration, an additional beautiful touch in the arrangement of the dwelling.
