In many ways, to achieve an excellent result of repairing ceiling surfaces, not only skill and hard work is required, but also excellent knowledge of the properties of the materials used in this.
First of all, this is necessary for operations such as aligning the ceiling surfaces. Indeed, the ceiling is the part of the interior, which is one of the first to cast a look, and because of how high -quality and accurately the surface of the ceiling is the result of the entire work, how the interior of the room will be perceived.
A flat painted ceiling
When working on the ceiling decoration, a traditional technology has developed, in which the sequence and sequence of operations, mutually complement and continue each other. Such a technological process does not tolerate inconsistent operations, passing one always affects the final result of the work.
The start of work on the installation of the ceiling, regardless of whether the plasterboard structure will be mounted or not, is the surface cleaning to the concrete base. Such cleaning is necessary, first of all, in the buildings of the old building where the whitewashing was used, in new buildings it is enough to clean the surface from irregularities.
Cleaning the ceiling
The next step in the work will be cleaning of dust and surface primer. The priming of the surface of the ceiling will strengthen the base, make it more racks and strong, in addition, the primer will fasten particles of dust.
Primer
The seams between the slabs and the deep cracks are launched by starting putty. The putty mixture is prepared from a dry putty mixture, the addition of water with constant mixing with a construction mixer. For the best result, it is recommended to use when applying the starting putty on the seams and cracks. In the future, the net will serve as a reliable reinforcing base and not allow the surface to crack. If the seams are too large or the cracks are deep enough, it makes no sense to putty the entire surface into one entry, it is enough to fill up the seams and let putty to dry, and after the next stage of putty, put the layer of starting putty along the entire plane of the ceiling.
Putty
A prerequisite for imposing the subsequent putty layer should be complete drying of the previous layer. Failure to comply with this rule entails an unreliable fastening of the putty layer with the base, and when moving from the starting layer to the finish, it will create difficulties in the work — a racing of the starting layer, unevenness and influxes, difficulties in forming a smooth surface. That is why the complete drying of the previous layer should be mandatory. After the starting layer dries, influx and bumps can simply be cleaned with a spatula. After drying the surface, the surface must be placed with a brush and opened with a primer.
The finish layer of putty is applied after the final drying of the primer. It is recommended to start applying a layer of finish putty in the direction of the window, so all flaws and bumps will be more noticeable. It is necessary to work with two spatulas, one should have a length of at least 40 cm, the second, less necessary for the uniform distribution of putty on the surface of the spatula.
Distribution of putty by a spatula
To obtain a smooth surface with experimental plasters, the working spatula is often cleaned of putty residues and abundantly wetted with water. This technique makes it easy to slide the spatula along the surface processed.
The finish alignment of the ceiling
After drying the finish layer, it is recommended to wipe the surface using a painting abrasive mesh until a homogeneous surface is obtained.

How to properly align the ceiling with putty
The finish alignment of the ceiling is a lot of creative work, it is necessary, not so much the number of putty as the ability to properly apply it. Sometimes, to achieve the result, you have to redo work, but those who can work correctly, it turns out very rarely. The key to fast and high -quality work is the correct organization of the workplace, work at the height should be comfortable. Do not climb under the ceiling so that you need to tilt your head. The second thing that needs to be taken into account when organizing work is the possibility of moving around the working area, it should be free, nothing should interfere with move. To obtain the best result, it is necessary to carry out work in the room free from furniture and extraneous items.
The release of the room from furniture and things
Work on the entire surface is planned and carried out in one technological step — the preparation of the surface, putty with the starting compound, cleaning or finishing putty each of the technological operations should be performed on the entire surface, it is unacceptable at the same time at the same end of the room to apply the starting layer, and at the other end, immediately on top of it at once Put the finish.
Thirdly, it is recommended to prepare a working putty mixture in small quantities-the finish putty freezes much faster than other types of building mixtures.
Preparation of putty mixture
When working, it is necessary to move in one direction around the front — from the wall to the wall. You should not work with insufficient artificial lighting, what was done perfectly in the evening, the next morning will appear in the form of missed areas, bumps, furrows and strips.
But besides this, you should know that quality materials are needed for work — cheap brands of unknown firms, or too low the price — a vivid sign that instead of putty with all synthetic additives, the bag contains ordinary gypsum or alabaster.
Working with finish putty has some features — such a putty has a smaller fraction, it is more similar to dust, but at the same time it freezes faster, so you need to wash the container in which the working mixture is prepared after the previous portion of the mixture is prepared, cleansing the capacity of the dried particles. The finish is carried out after the mandatory primer of the ceiling, the surface fastened with a primer does not dust, the layer is better fed on it.
The structure of the finish putty
Approaching the finish layer is carried out using two working spatulas — a wide spatula is carried out by putty and then the formation of a smooth surface, and auxiliary operations are carried out — a mixture from the container is carried out, a uniform distribution of putty is carried out along the blade of a large spatula, removing excess material from a large spatula. To apply the mass of putty on the ceiling, such a amount of material is taken to the spatula that when moving, a uniform layer of 2-3 mm is formed. After that, the surface is formed in this area. A wide spatula is rinsed in the water and on the storage of the layer of the finish smooth surface on the ceiling. The movement of a large spatula should be with a slight effort in which the surface is smoothed, excess putty is removed. All movements should be directed “at the right — right” over the entire surface with a large spatula.
Application of the finish layer
When working, attention is drawn to the following features:
the formation of a smooth homogeneous surface;
smoothing the transitions between the areas of work;
corrections of errors and defects — furrows and passes in the layer.
Moving from one zone of work to another, it is necessary to carefully and quickly smooth the transitions. The finish putty dries much faster than the starting, especially if the finish putty layer is very thin. To obtain a better surface in the transition area, the final formation is recommended to carry out a spatula with a small amount of water on the surface of the blade. This technique allows you to make movements lighter and get a smoother surface.
The noted grooves on the processed surface are the result of a small lump of putty or rolled dust on the blade of a spatula. To eliminate that defect, it is recommended to remove a solid lump from the spatula and repeat the surface processing again.
Having finished applying the layer to the entire area of the ceiling of the room, it is recommended to allow the layer to dry, and the identified defects should be corrected after the final drying. Visible deep furrows are corrected by the local application of the masking layer of putty, and the influxes and transitions are rubbed with an abrasive net.

The choice of material — which is better the finished putty to choose for painting
When choosing a material for finishing surface processing for painting, it is recommended to use well -known brands, for example, Satengips putty mixture. This is a finished putty mixture based on gypsum in combination with synthetic and mineral additives gives an excellent result. The main purpose of the mixture is the finishing of the surfaces of the premises. A mixture of SATENGIPS Eco allows you to get a thin layer of overlap, with an excellent glossy surface.
Satengips mixture
High quality product allows you to carry out work on any surfaces of both vertical and horizontal. The putty is characterized by good adherent properties and a sufficient time in the time of plasticization. Satengips type putty have a high deep white, hiding the defects of the starting coating.
The putty mixture allows you to apply a layer up to 3 mm. The mixture has proven itself excellently when aligning the fluid surfaces for subsequent painting. Dried putty is excellent to machining, which allows you to get a smooth almost glossy surface.
SATENGIPS Eco in the interior
To prepare the mixture, after pouring water, it is recommended to wait 5-7 minutes until the mixture absorbs water and only then carry out mechanical mixing. The prepared mixture is suitable for applying to the surface for 20-25 minutes.
In addition to dry putty mixtures requiring further preparation, excellent results are shown by the use of ready -made synthetic puttys that have much higher quality characteristics than dry mixtures of even foreign production. Their distinctive feature is the uniformity of the composition, excellent plastic properties, the possibility of long -term storage. Synthetic putty can reduce consumption and at the same time improve the quality of work.
