Stucco ceiling by own hands

As you know, repair is still a test for strength. And if you are going to manage on your own, it is better to understand all the nuances in advance and find the best solution for walls and ceiling. In this article we will look at how to plaster the ceiling with our own hands.

Plastering the ceiling with our own hands

Currently, the leveling of ceilings with a few layers of putty has faded into the background. Where it is more convenient simply to use drywall sheets and work joints. We offer to consider a simple process of plastering the ceiling of plasterboard with their own hands.

1. It is important to prepare them before the sheets are mounted. This preparation involves chamfering the edges. This is necessary in order to ensure a more reliable fastening of sheets among themselves, as well as to prevent the formation of cracks.
2. After installation, all joints are glued with a mesh-serpyanka. First, we reinforce the mesh joints, then with our own hands we plaster the ceiling. Adhesive composition is applied to the joint, then the mesh is pressed directly with a spatula.
3. If you decide to build a ceiling with a complex shape, all its internal corners also work on the already familiar grid.
4. So, all the joints are decorated and it's time to tackle the plaster directly with your own hands. To do this, we cultivate the finishing mix for putty. Use base mixes for a thorough leveling here there is no sense, since gypsum cardboard makes it possible to get the most flat surface.
5. Your task is to work out all the places where the sheets are fastened, and once again grip the joints with the mesh. It is necessary to apply two or three layers, very thin, one by one. Each previous layer should just grab and harden a little, complete drying does not have to wait.

Decorative plaster of the ceiling with your own hands

After all the seams have been worked out, you can apply a layer of water-based paint or use a textured plaster ceiling and apply it yourself.

1. From the usual sheet of paper, crumple the ball and put it in a plastic bag. This is your main tool.
2. We apply a layer of putty on the surface. The thicker the mixture, the more rough the result will be. So to create a gentle pattern with roses, it is preferable to apply a thin layer.
3. Now just gently apply our homemade instrument to the surface and slightly scroll.
4. If desired, you can add colors. First, apply a coat of paint, then let it dry completely and use a spatula lightly.
5. As a result, the upper ends of the decorative plaster pattern applied to the ceiling with their own hands are removed and the pattern becomes more gentle.
