Products made from this material are distinguished by a variety of shapes and colors, environmental friendliness, ease of processing and maintenance, as well as durability. From a large assortment of wood finishing materials, you can easily choose a coating that suits the style of your interior and is distinguished by its beauty and practicality.

The advantages of wooden ceilings

Modern wood ceiling decoration in an apartment has many advantages:

• innovative methods of processing the material have deprived it of such disadvantages as the tendency to absorb moisture, ease of fire, damage by insects and microorganisms;
• the material is distinguished by its natural beauty and environmental friendliness;
• wood is easy to process and install;
• the material absorbs and releases moisture, thereby maintaining a constant favorable microclimate in the room;
• wood trim protects the room from noise and cold;
• such ceilings are suitable for decorating rooms in different styles;
• durability is another advantage of the finish.

Selection of finishing material

Wood ceiling decoration in an apartment is made using the following materials:

• lining;
• wood ceiling panels;
• plywood;

Lining

It is suitable for finishing walls and ceilings in a living room, on a balcony, loggia, terrace or in a steam room. Essentially it is a ceiling board with clear geometric shapes and tongue-and-groove connection in the end part.

The lining can be treated with tinting impregnations, painted or varnished. Modern ceilings in apartments are finished with the following types of lining:

1. Eurolining is high quality expensive board, which is made from high-grade wood. Compared to conventional lining, products with the “euro” prefix are faster and simple installation, resistance to moisture and damage by microorganisms. There are recesses on the back of the board for air circulation and protection from rot.
2. Shtil lining is very popular because of its beauty and reasonable price. The product has a shortened tongue-and-groove joint, so after assembling the covering, the recesses between the individual elements are almost invisible. The result is an almost even and smooth coating.

Important! Before making the ceiling from the clapboard, a sheathing of wooden blocks is installed.

Ceiling panels

If you don't know how to make a wooden ceiling, use ceiling panels. They are easily and quickly mounted on glue or lathing. In the latter case, self-tapping screws, clamps or nails are used for fixation to the frame. Finishing with boards is convenient because, if necessary, you can easily dismantle and replace one element.

There are two types of panels on sale. Some are made from solid expensive wood. These elements have a mastic coating to highlight the texture of the material. Cheaper multilayer panels are made from inexpensive coniferous wood. Veneer made from valuable wood species is used as a covering.

The advantages of ceiling panels include the following:

• the ability to hide ceiling defects and engineering Communication behind the suspension system;
• there are square panels, slats and whole sheets on sale;
• suitable for installation different options lighting.

Facing tiles

Wooden ceiling The easiest way to do it yourself is to use facing slabs. This finish is made from a mixture of glue and wood chips.

There are several types of such tiles on sale:

• fibreboards in their structure, in addition to sawdust, contain plant fibers;
• particle boards consist of glue and sawdust;
• MDF boards are made from tiny sawdust, joined together with lingine.

Plywood

This material is used in various construction work. It is also suitable for finishing ceiling surface. Plywood consists of several layers of wood veneer, connected so that the fibers in each layer are in a mutually perpendicular direction.

Important! Use elite grades of plywood for ceiling cladding. They have middle layers made from cheap pine wood. Such plywood is lined with beech, alder, maple or birch veneer.

Depending on the purpose of the room, the following types of plywood are used:

1. For places with high humidity, moisture-resistant products and laminated boards are suitable.
2. For living rooms They use ordinary sheets that have 3-5 layers of wood veneer.
3. Sanded plywood with colorful patterns applied to it is used for apartments and country houses.
4. Unsanded panels are suitable for finishing the ceiling in utility rooms or in the country.

Wood wallpaper

The original wooden ceiling in the apartment is made with your own hands using special wallpaper made of wood. There are several varieties of this material:

1. Veneered wallpaper consist of a paper base and a coating of the finest wood veneer. The front layer is sometimes decorated with carvings.
2. Stacked covering consists of several narrow slats within 2 cm wide.
3. Cork wallpaper is also made on paper based. Decorative coating- this is the thinnest layer of bark balsa wood. To protect against moisture, dirt and odor absorption, the material has a wax coating. Cork wallpaper is sold in the form of slabs and rolls.
4. TMD wallpaper is made from thermally treated wood. The coating can be washed, it is resistant to fire and mechanical stress.

Important! The advantage of wooden wallpaper is that it is glued directly to the ceiling surface without creating a lath.

Wooden ceiling in rooms of different styles

Ceiling covering made of wood materials fits different styles interior
Most often, this finish is used in the following styles:

• country;
• high tech;
• chalet;
• modern;
• loft;
• Japanese interior.

Country

This style is characterized by the use of rough, untreated wood in the decoration of walls and ceilings. Wooden elements Usually they are not painted, but varnished or impregnated with wax. Wooden panels, boards, lining, ceiling beams or wooden wallpaper are used as finishing materials.

High tech

This style is characterized by strict, laconic lines, plain surfaces with a steel glossy or matte sheen. Wooden ceiling finishing should be as smooth, high-quality and well-finished as possible. If lining is used, the coating is carefully sanded, painted or varnished. Concerning color scheme, then give preference to silver-gray, cool white and steel shades.

Chalet

It is impossible to imagine a chalet-style room without wooden elements in the interior. In finishing the ceiling, massive ceiling beams and coverings made of lining, wooden wallpaper and other wood materials are used. Wooden elements are often used in natural colors, so painting the trim in this style is inappropriate. The wood covering is successfully combined with stone finishing and plastered surfaces.

Modern

This style skillfully combines different Decoration Materials. The main attributes of the style are smooth lines, natural outlines, and decor with plant motifs. The ceiling is completely covered wood trim, will be inappropriate in this style, but various decorative elements will embellish the ceiling surface and emphasize the style of the room.

You can use the following decor:

• decorative wood inserts;
• beautiful ceiling beams;
• fillets and baseboards.

Loft

Apartments in this style appeared when large industrial premises began to be converted into housing. In connection with this, it was formed certain style, which is characterized by rough painted surfaces of concrete and brick. Steel, wood and plastered coatings are also used in the loft style. If we talk about the ceiling, its decoration should be as discreet as possible. It is allowed to use untreated wood or paint ceilings.

For loft style finishing use:

• ordinary lining;
• plywood;
• panels made of fiberboard, MDF or chipboard;
• ceiling beams.

Ethnic style

The ceiling in a city apartment is most often a white flat surface. Such appearance gives it neatness, and the room itself seems taller. But if you want your home to look original, you can use wood trim. A suspended wooden ceiling looks non-trivial and beautiful. It can look very expensive and stylish if you spare no expense and buy top-class material.

Popular materials

Of course, no one forbids the use of wooden panels for cladding an apartment, but this material is extremely expensive, is made from valuable species and is not found in budget option. There are ways that are much cheaper and therefore more popular.

The ceiling batten is sometimes called “lining under the timber”. This is an inexpensive finishing material, similar to lining, but much wider and with rounded edges. The slats are made from the wood of the most different breeds, deciduous and coniferous. Larch is very suitable for residential premises; it is durable and inexpensive. Rail width 130–200 mm, standard length 3 m and 6 m, thickness 18–20 mm.

The ceiling rail is wider than the lining and looks more unusual

• Lining

The ceiling can be finished with regular lining or eurolining. These are thin sheathing boards that fit tightly together using grooves and tenons. Typical sizes: width 74–150 mm, length 2–3 m, thickness 12–25 mm.

According to its shape, the lining is divided into regular and block house, made in the form of a semicircular segment of a log. In most cases, a block house is used for exterior finishing houses.

Both lath and lining are suitable for construction slatted ceiling closed type, without cracks or gaps.

Lining painted white

Quality classification

Based on quality, these lumber are divided into classes.

Advice. Extra class cannot be used in wet rooms without treatment with moisture-repellent compounds, because knot-free lining is made by gluing and does not withstand use in damp conditions. On the contrary, it is completely suitable for residential premises.

Block house and lining different sizes. At the bottom - wooden slats with rounded chamfer

However, on sale you can find knot-free, but not glued, linden and aspen lining, suitable for a bathroom or home sauna without any pre-treatment.

DIY wooden ceiling

You can make a wooden ceiling from slats or clapboards yourself. You will need a hammer drill, a jigsaw, laser level and small fasteners: screws, wood screws, dowels.

Important. To suspended ceiling held securely, it is necessary to purchase only high-quality small fasteners. The fastener should not be too short.

Claymer - the protruding part is inserted into the groove of the board, the gluer itself is screwed with self-tapping screws to the sheathing

Lathing

The lathing for a wooden ceiling is also made of wood (slats or bars), you can also assemble a frame from metal profile, which is used for installing plasterboard ceilings. The sheathing is mounted directly on the floor slabs and leveled using spacers.

The distance between the frame bars is 60–70 centimeters. On the block, the fasteners are located with the same spacing. The outermost bars should be close to the walls so that the edges of the boards do not sag.

Installation of sheathing completed

Facing

The most technical way is to attach the lining to the sheathing with metal glues - a kind of hidden fastener. The gluer's tendril is inserted into the groove of the board, the remaining outside part is screwed onto the frame with self-tapping screws.

Advice. Since the walls of our apartments are far from ideally even, it is better not to cut the entire lining to length at once, but to do it one plank at a time. It’s normal if there are gaps of a few millimeters between the wall and the edges of the cladding; they will be closed later ceiling plinth.

Claimer installation

Start working from the wall. The tenon of the first board is cut off with a jigsaw and screwed to the sheathing using gluers, with the cut side facing the wall. They continue to lay board after board, the width of the latter is also adjusted using a jigsaw. For the chandelier, a narrow groove is drilled out with a jigsaw, which will then disappear under the decorative bowl.

Finally, screw the ceiling plinth and corners.

This video talks about small but important details work with lining.

Finishing

Wooden ceilings are rarely painted, because the paint will hide the luxurious appearance of real wood with its natural veins. Instead of paint, transparent products are used for coating:

• polyurethane varnish serves as a prevention against yellowing; it is available in matte and glossy versions;
• alkyd varnish forms a hard waterproof film;
• acrylic-polyurethane varnish provides resistance to harmful effects environment, comes in matte and glossy.

Varnishes can be used to create waxy and other effects, giving inexpensive lumber a sophisticated and unusual look.

Dismantling

Dismantling the wooden ceiling proceeds in the reverse order. This is a quick and easy process as long as no anchors were used during installation. Self-tapping screws are unscrewed with a screwdriver, concrete dowels are drilled out or pulled out with a nail puller. It is necessary to ensure that in the process of removing the boards the wires and other communications hidden under them are not damaged.

Dismantling is not always necessary. tension and plasterboard ceiling can be installed directly on a wooden one, without dismantling it, but the wood is first treated with an antifungal liquid.

A slatted wooden ceiling in an apartment looks luxurious, because wood is a natural, not cheap, and desirable material for many. If funds are limited, you can use plastic and metal slats with imitation wood, which are produced in a very diverse range.

Thanks to the variety of finishing materials, the usual plastered and whitewashed ceiling has become a thing of the past. The most important thing is that, as a result, a wooden ceiling can be made even in an apartment with concrete floors. In this case, there will be no special lowering of the ceiling surface. We will tell you which ceiling is best to make so that the surface accurately imitates natural wood and fit into the interior style used.

In favor modern finishes Wood ceilings in an apartment have the following advantages:

1. Traditional wood is susceptible to damage by insects and microorganisms. She does not tolerate direct contact with water and conditions high humidity. But modern finishing materials made of wood undergo special processing in the factory, which makes them resistant to all the negative factors listed above.
2. No one doubts the environmental purity of natural wood and its beauty, so this material does not harm health when finishing and significantly decorates the interior.
3. Ceiling boards and other wood cladding are easy to process and easy to install. The work can be carried out even without experience and special tools.
4. Due to the fact that wood absorbs moisture and releases it when humidity changes, an optimal microclimate is constantly maintained in the room.
5. Wood materials are good heat and sound insulators. This finishing increases the comfort of living in the room.
6. Wood finishing materials are used in interiors decorated in different styles.
7. Modern wood cladding will last you for decades.

How to choose finishing material

To make a wooden ceiling with your own hands in an apartment, you can use the following materials:

• wooden lining;
• traditional plywood;
• wood ceiling panels;
• tile materials.

Before making a wooden ceiling, you need to familiarize yourself with the features and characteristics of each material. This will make it easier to choose a suitable ceiling covering.

Wooden lining

Lining is a flat board with tongue-and-groove joints along the longitudinal ends. Board finishing is used indoors for various purposes. It is appropriate on a balcony, loggia, attic, steam room, kitchen, living room or terrace. Lining is made from different types of wood, which gives the product certain characteristics. The covering of this board can be painted, varnished, or tinted with stain.

The following types of lining are used to finish the ceiling:

1. Shtil lining is considered the most popular. It is valued at an affordable price and allows you to obtain a uniform coating without visible gaps between the elements. The solidity of the coating is achieved thanks to the shortened flanges of the tongue-and-groove lock.
2. In contrast, eurolining has longer flanges, so the recesses between the individual boards are visible on the ceiling. High-quality wood is used to make this lining, so the surface is resistant to moisture, damage by mold and rot, and is also easy and quick to install.

The lining can be attached directly to the base or to load-bearing frame. To ensure air circulation behind the trim when frameless installation, shallow longitudinal cuts are made on the back side of the board.

If you choose frame technology installation of the lining, then before making the covering, install a sheathing of bars or profiles.

Frame installation technology provides some advantages:

• no careful leveling and preparation of the base is required;
• the coating hides any defects in the base ceiling;
• utility lines can be laid behind the filing;
• thermal insulation material is laid between the frame slats;
• Built-in lamps can be installed into the surface.

Important! Installing lining on a supporting frame is not suitable for low-rise apartments, for example, Khrushchev-era apartments, because it lowers the ceiling surface to some extent.

Ceiling panels

The easiest way to make a wooden ceiling in an apartment with your own hands is from ceiling panels. The product can be glued directly to the base ceiling or mounted on a lathing. To fasten the panels to the frame, screws, nails or clamps are used. If necessary, one ceiling panel can be dismantled and replaced with a new element.

To finish the ceiling surface in an apartment, you can use more expensive solid wood panels with a protective mastic coating or cheap multi-layer coniferous wood products. On top of such products there is a decorative veneer covering.

Benefits of finishing the ceiling wood panels:

1. Since the installation is carried out on a supporting frame, the ceiling has all the advantages of suspended structures (hides defects in the base, allows you to lay communications and insulate the room, and is suitable for installing built-in lighting).
2. Every buyer can find products required sizes. For small rooms it is better to choose slats or square panels, and for spacious rooms Whole wooden sheets are available for sale.
3. A large selection of colors, wood textures and decoration options allows you to choose the finish to suit the style of the room.

Tile covering

Simple and available finish the ceiling in wood in the apartment is made using wood facing tiles. The material is made from wood chips. The fibers are glued together using a special glue.

The following types of tiles can be found on sale:

• MDF boards are made from very small sawdust, which are glued together with lignin;
• Particle boards are made from sawdust and glue;
• wood fiber products are slightly different in structure because they consist of plant fibers.

Plywood

Modern ceilings in loft-style apartments can be made from ordinary plywood. The material is made from several layers of thin wooden slats. They are glued together so that the direction of the fibers in each layer is mutually perpendicular. This increases the strength of the material and its resistance to deformation.

Advice! Elite plywood is suitable for lining the ceiling in an apartment. This material differs from the traditional product in that pine wood is used to make the inner layers, and the outer layers are made from high-quality beech, birch, maple or alder wood.

When choosing the type of plywood, you should focus on the purpose of the room:

1. For bathrooms, kitchens and other places with high level humidity, moisture-resistant plywood is used, which has a protective laminated coating.
2. For rooms with normal humidity (bedrooms, living rooms, children's rooms, offices and corridors), multilayer ordinary plywood is suitable.
3. To obtain beautiful ceiling, use polished sheets with a printed pattern.
4. For utility rooms where the beauty of the ceiling surface is not so important, inexpensive unsanded plywood is used.

Wood wallpaper

You can get a beautiful wooden ceiling without reducing the height of the room if you ceiling decoration prefer wooden wallpaper.

Moreover, depending on financial opportunities you can choose one of the following finishing options:

1. Paper-based wallpaper coated with the finest wood veneer is often decorated with carved patterns.
2. You can glue wooden wallpaper to the ceiling. They are made from wood slats 20 mm wide.
3. Cork coverings are also produced on a paper basis. Glued on top thin layer cork tree bark. Such products are produced in slabs and rolls. To protect against contamination, absorption of odors and moisture, the cork layer has a wax coating.
4. For the manufacture of TMD wallpaper, wood that has undergone heat treatment is used. These are the most expensive coatings. They are resistant to fire, moisture, and damage by microorganisms. They can be washed. The coating is not afraid of mechanical stress.

What styles does a wooden ceiling suit?

There are many interior styles that allow the use of wooden ceilings. Many of them are very popular and are often used when decorating apartments.

High tech

Premises in the high-tech style are distinguished by the severity of their forms and laconic lines. Silver surfaces with a matte or glossy sheen are often found in such interiors. If a wooden ceiling is used, it is made of smooth quality material. Special attention is given to the quality of processing.

If you decide to make a ceiling from lining in a high-tech style, then the material is well sanded, varnished or painted with interior paint. When choosing a color, preference should be given to steel shades, cool white or gray-silver tones.

Country

In this style, the wood texture is preserved as much as possible. The surface of the material is not painted or tinted, but simply impregnated with wax or covered with matte varnish to protect it from damage. Suitable for creating a ceiling surface wooden plank, wood wallpaper, lining, ceiling beams and panels.

Modern

This style combines different facing materials. The interior should contain smooth lines, floral motifs, and decor. However, it is not recommended to completely trim the ceiling surface with wood. It is enough to use wooden decorative details that will emphasize the beauty of the ceiling and its belonging to the Art Nouveau style.

Advice! As decorative elements on the ceiling you can use skirting boards and fillets, ceiling beams with carved patterns, and wooden inserts.

Chalet

The chalet style is the interiors of alpine houses. It is difficult to emphasize this style without using wood in the interior. The ceiling can be decorated with wooden ceiling beams, wallpaper or lining. At the same time, wood parts should be harmoniously combined with ordinary ceilings.

Wooden coverings are usually not painted, but rather they are tried to highlight natural beauty wood texture. The interior should contain plastered surfaces, inserts and decor made of natural stone.

Ethnic style

When choosing a wooden ceiling for a room decorated in ethnic style, you need to take into account the stylistic orientation. Typically, untreated wood or products impregnated with wax and varnish are used. Often wooden ceilings are decorated with ornaments and paintings characteristic of a particular style.

Loft

This style appeared at a time when industrial premises began to be converted into housing. Character traits style - rough untreated surfaces, brick and concrete walls, painted wood. When making ceiling decoration from wood, they try to make the coating as discreet and laconic as possible.

The ceiling can be painted, varnished or waxed, tinted different compositions. To finish the ceiling surface, plywood, lining, chipboard, fiberboard, MDF, and ceiling beams are used.

Japanese style interior

These interiors are characterized by strict forms, laconic outlines and a minimum of decor. Typically, ceiling beams are constructed on the ceiling. Dark-colored details stand out beautifully against the light ceiling. The main surface can be painted, wallpapered or covered with panels.

As you can see, different wood finishing materials suit many interior styles. When choosing finishing coating It is important to consider the purpose of the room and the features of its interior.

No matter how attracted stretch ceiling its luxury and visual ingenuity, but the fashion for natural materials will still be relevant. If you want to decorate a room according to all the canons of environmental safety and at the same time enjoy the end result, there is a reason to make a wooden ceiling in the apartment. For those who have doubts - 20 photos with successful examples.

The stereotype of perceiving wood as a material exclusively for decorating bathhouses and village-type houses not only can, but also must be dispelled through the concerted efforts of designers from all over the world. Still, the finishing materials industry is developing as rapidly as Computer techologies, and the canonical classic boards have long since sunk into oblivion. Now you can choose almost any shade and size, the required texture and thickness of the sheet - and safely fit a wooden ceiling into any interior.

Take a look at the photo below. What words come to mind first when you consider these options? Cosiness? Family harmony? Security? Heat? You don’t need to be a genius to guess exactly this kind of verbal assessment of popular material.

To prevent the wood from losing its color, it can be treated with impregnation. In this case, you will successfully prevent the problem of the tonal compatibility of the wooden ceiling with the walls: after all, there are cases when, after a few years ceiling covering lightening and aging under the influence of the sun's rays is not so common.

The wooden ceiling looks great against the background stone walls. More precisely, they were finished to look like stone using the same decorative plaster.

Of course, if you want to see a wooden ceiling in your apartment, you need to take care making the right choice colors. Bleached oak is one of the most popular options, which looks equally good in both strict minimalist interiors and warm, unpretentious classics. Note! And in this article you can see examples of interiors with a bleached oak laminate ceiling.

Exclusive and very cozy wooden ceilings are ideal for a good-quality home or a comfortable apartment.

Well-known designers claim that now it is not the wood finishing itself that is expensive, but only the materials for its processing: primer, varnish, putty.

The decision to make wooden ceilings with your own hands is easily feasible even for a person who does not have this work experience. In this case, we will save up to $20 for each square meter- this is exactly the price that the masters will name only for their work.

Note!

A suspended ceiling will reduce the height of the room by 15 cm, so first we will make sure that this option suits us.

Sheathing fastening

When installing a wooden ceiling on a concrete, brick or plastered base, we will first install wooden sheathing with a distance between slats of 30 cm: you can’t drive a nail into concrete

• For wooden ceilings with even ceiling beams, we can immediately install the sheathing.
  But it’s not difficult to level the lower end of the beams by attaching slats, and then we’ll nail the sheathing boards to them.
• We secure each part with 2 nails, driving their heads flush with the board, or even deeper.
  These nail heads should be varnished later to prevent rust. Some craftsmen prefer to fasten with screws.

If you use decorative analogues instead of ordinary nails, this will give the interior a unique twist.

• In order to reduce the space between soundproofing materials and boards, we use melted cladding.
• On both sides of the beam we will nail 4x5 cm slats - this is a support for the rough ceiling boards for insulation. Then front side we will sew it flush with the rest of the ceiling, saving up to 20 cm of its height.
• We can also just glue high-quality glue sheathing to the board sheathing, so as not to spoil the overall impression with nail heads.
• Scaly sheathing involves sawing off one end of the part according to a special design. And the different arrangement of the boards or their different colour will create wonderful patterns on the ceiling.

In general, there are many options for such cladding, which is very convenient for designers.

Materials

The ceilings in the apartment, covered with bars, slats, boards, and wooden panels, are very beautiful and look rich. But all the parts for the cladding should not be bulky: thickness up to 25 mm, and length from 1 meter to the desired one.

Cladding slabs

There are even samples completely soaked wood wax, they are used to cover kitchens and bathrooms: they are waterproof. And these slabs are not susceptible to dirt, do not delaminate or crack.

Panels

Peculiarities:

• The layers are glued together at the factory the latest technologies: heat and high blood pressure.
• Such high-quality wooden ceilings will last for many years.
• The popularity of the panels is extremely high due to their excellent quality, impressive appearance, durability, ease of care, simplicity and speed of installation.

Wood finishing materials

Peculiarities:

• Lining, finishing slab or edged boards– traditional and time-tested finishing materials, easy to cover.
• Heartwood boards are difficult to work with and prone to cracking, but have exceptional water-repellent properties.
• Boards from the edges of the trunk are much easier to process, and they do not crack.

Wood wallpaper

Wooden wallpaper, environmentally friendly and natural, gives a warm atmosphere to the house, making it cozy and exclusive.

Natural wood is a promising innovation in their production, combining standard wallpaper and panels. Their unique combinatorics have endlessly expanded design possibilities.

Peculiarities:

• Wallpaper made of veneer up to 1.56 mm thick is made from valuable wood, gluing veneer onto paper wallpaper.
• Cork wallpaper in rolls or sheets is made from pressed cork. They are not able to absorb odors, create sound insulation and are easily cleaned from contamination.
• But fire hazards and moisture intolerance limit the place where all wooden wallpaper can be used, so it is impossible to cover the ceiling in the bathroom with them.

Ceiling fillet

Galtel is wooden baseboard made of wood

Peculiarities:

• Only wooden fillets have undeniable advantages over any others: natural color, unique strength and amazing durability.
• They strongly emphasize, hiding possible flaws in our work.
• Modern fillets are exquisite and varied in shape.
• Their length is up to 120 mm - this significantly reduces the number of joints.

There are 2 types of fillets:

• veneered;
• laminated.

We fasten them with self-tapping screws with decorative plugs, as well as clips, nails, or glue them with “liquid” nails.

Issued various types fillets from different species, and each has its own advantages.

• Pine ceiling fillet, soft, pliable machining, which gives scope for all kinds of independent decoration.
• Linden fillet popular for its versatile qualities: it is used from bedrooms to saunas.
• Alder fillet durable, light and therefore can be painted in any color.

We cut the fillets parallel to the plane. We sand the joint area with sandpaper - and such a connection will be invisible. We install the fillet to the ceiling or wall so as not to deform this part with double fasteners.

Carefully fill the cracks with putty. Having attached it, we victoriously completed the work: the wooden ceiling with our own hands is ready!

Design options

Reliefs and patterns made of wood

• We can make an original ceiling from small boards and scraps, putting them together into a design you like, planning it in advance on paper.
• Different sizes of parts and their texture will serve to create interesting and prestigious reliefs: such a ceiling will become a decoration of the apartment and your pride.

Plaster

• First, let's test the ceiling: it should not vibrate, sag, or wobble.
• Then we will fill shingles to hold the plaster - 3x15 mm wooden strips 40 mm apart, and attach their top layer perpendicular to the bottom ones.
• We do the hanging - markings, and mark the desired thickness of the plaster with beacons and marks.

The technology of plastering (basting) involves 3 stages:

• applying spray to the ceiling up to 9 mm;
• soil (its thickness depends on the condition of the surface);
• covering layer of 5 mm.

Stretch ceiling

Stretch ceilings on a wooden ceiling are stretching and securing the material

Installation features:

• For such ceilings, we install a profile - baguette - around the perimeter.
• After heating the unfolded canvas with a heat gun, when it becomes pliable, we fix it with the corners on the baguettes.
• As it cools, the film stretches, turning into a completely flat ceiling.

Note!

For many of us, wooden ceilings are a symbol of prestige, beauty, durability and comfort. Now we know how to make a wooden ceiling that fits perfectly into our interior and matches our mood.
