Stretch ceiling or wardrobe: where to start?

The problem of the order of work execution affected almost everyone who made repairs in their apartment. If you want to make installation in a room or a hallway of a cabinet with stretch ceilings, then the question always arises: where to start?

Installation of a stretch ceiling can be carried out both before and after the installation of the wardrobe. But on the contrary, the scheme no longer works. One of the most important points is the exact definition of the place for the future cabinet. In the future, this, first of all, will help you when marking the place for the lamps.

It is possible to carry out the installation using a foundation beam, as well as without it. Most repairmen tell you to do the ceiling first, and only then install the doors. Builders have four docking options.

There are several ways of mounting a sliding wardrobe and a tension cloth, which differ in the method of fixing, the presence of a mortgage.

You will need: a wooden beam, guides, special aluminum fasteners - a wall baguette or a harpoon system for installing a ceiling sheet. One of the most convenient, practical and versatile ways is to install two fastening systems that will not depend on either the ceiling or the doors. In this variant, the stretch ceiling can be installed at any time.

Installation process: the door rails are attached to the main ceiling. The next stage: a beam is installed along the ceiling, which holds the profile. On it from the side of the cabinet, special fasteners are installed for the future stretch fabric. As a result, the tensioning web will completely cover the bar, and the installation of the wardrobe can be carried out both at the first stage of work and at the last.

The ceiling sheet must be lowered by at least 4 centimeters. The height can be increased when installing non-standard luminaires or the presence of large differences. The distance at which the bar will be attached to you directly depends on the location of the stretch fabric.

You will need: timber, decorative panel, stretch ceiling fasteners, door guides. First comes the installation of the cabinet. To do this, you need a bezel (preferably to match the cabinet), a wooden block, door guides. First of all, it installs a decorative strip or bezel. In the future, we will attach the ceiling sheet to it. In order for the bar to be more stable, it must be strengthened by attaching the timber to the main ceiling. We mount the guides for the doors to the timber.

A false panel or decorative tape is snapped into the wall molding after the stretch ceiling harpoon. The use of glue is not necessary in this embodiment.

You will need: wooden beams, door guides, plastic inserts. First you need to install the ceiling sheet, and then the furniture. The timber must be attached to the main ceiling. Then you need to install the ceiling sheet. The beam remains between the main and stretch ceilings. Then, special plastic inserts are inserted into the canvas at the installation site of the timber and then the guides for the doors are mounted.

In this version, the stretch fabric is installed around the perimeter of the entire room. Changing it over time will be problematic, since you will have to disassemble the built-in doors.

You will need: a cabinet with a top cover. Leaving a gap is one of the easiest installation methods, since both the cabinet and the ceiling are, as a result, independent of each other. First you need to install a ceiling. Then a wardrobe with a top cover. In this variant, the work must be carried out extremely carefully. For example, when installing a cabinet, you can hook the ceiling and tear it. This method will also work in a hallway with a false ceiling. A special plastic plate will be located between the ceiling and cabinet doors. It must be glued so that the ceiling sheet does not tear or stretch in the future.

If you already have a stretch ceiling in a room without a mortgage, then the installation of a sliding wardrobe is limited to only one option - you can only install a cabinet with a top cover. If the gap between the ceiling and the furniture is less than 5-10 centimeters, then the process of installing the cabinet must be carefully monitored, since one awkward movement of the film can be deformed.

Installing a ceiling sheet with a mezzanine is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. If the mezzanine doors touch the main ceiling in height, then the mezzanine needs to be redone so that the upper panel appears. To do this, you will have to saw off 8-10 centimeters from the top of the mezzanine doors. In place of the upper part of the doors, it is necessary to attach chipboard or "plywood".

Electrical work is performed at the stage of mounting the mortgage. This also applies to the marking of the place of the lamps on the future ceiling and their installation in the cabinet. For lamps in the wardrobe, choose LED or halogen lamp models.

One of the most important recommendations is to calculate in advance where the closet will be in the apartment, whether it will be built-in or just reach the ceiling If you decide to install a wardrobe in a niche, then opt for the built-in option.

Call competent measurers who will make the correct drawing of the future cabinet and indicate the place for the mortgage. In this case, the cabinet is first installed, and then the craftsmen stretch the ceiling sheet.

Built-in furniture allows you to reduce the cost of the wardrobe itself - you do not need to purchase a whole wardrobe in the store, you just need to buy sliding doors, a bezel, guides and a bar. During the installation of doors to the already finished ceiling, the repair of the latter will be very difficult in the future, since both the canvas and the cabinet are strongly interconnected. If you want to replace the ceiling, you will have to disassemble the cabinet.

To hide the small gap between the ceiling and the doors, you can use a skirting board. As a result, you will achieve the creation of structural integrity.

When installing a frame cabinet, you first need to install the canvas. Work must be carried out at a level in order to take into account the distance from the floor and to the ceiling. The advantages of freestanding furniture are that in the future it can be disassembled and transported to a new home without prejudice to your own wallet.

An important point during installation work is the ratio of furniture and ceiling sheet in level. The stretch ceiling line should run parallel to the cabinet line and the window line. If the cabinet or window is not level, then it is better to pull the canvas in parallel with these elements. As a result, you will ensure that virtually no deviations will be visible visually.

Designers and builders believe that the classic of pairing the cabinet and the ceiling is the independent installation of the ceiling panel from the doors. This option will allow you to get rid of any restrictions on the rearrangement of furniture in the future.

Sliding wardrobes are most often installed in the bedroom or hallway. In a simple, bright room, the models will be combined with any ceiling. Moreover, the cabinet doors themselves can be made of various materials: glass, PVC, wood. Their combination gives you the ability to create an unlimited number of interior options.

To date, designers have found ways to beautifully fit large wardrobes into a living room without compromising design - floating multi-level ceilings fit mirrored doors. To achieve a visual increase in the room, you can use glossy PVC ceilings. You can complement the design with a cabinet with interior lighting.
