Filing a draft ceiling in a private house on wooden beams

Wooden beams are structures that are found not only in private houses, but also in old buildings of a 3-5-story type. To make the ceiling surface even and suitable for finishing cladding, it is necessary to make a high-quality rough ceiling on wooden beams. Works are available for do-it-yourself work with a minimum set of tools and materials.

Before hemming the ceiling surface, you should understand the layers that make up the interfloor overlap in a wooden house.

Overlay layers from top to bottom:

  1. The topmost layer is a boardwalk, which can be the basis for a finish coating or serve as a fine finish.
  2. Vapor barrier membrane is a required layer. Membrane fabric prevents the formation of condensation on wooden structures, prevents the formation of wet areas, mold and fungus growth.
  3. Thermal insulation. Fits in any case, regardless of whether the premises are residential or not above the floor. If the attic is not residential, the energy efficiency of the house increases, residential - the sound insulation of the floors increases.
  4. Waterproofing. The layer is designed to protect the insulation and wooden structures from moisture. If you do not lay waterproofing, moist air, hot steam, rising to the ceiling, will destroy the heat-insulating material - which will reduce the practical characteristics of the product.
  5. Draft ceiling- the last layer, which is finished with a finishing lining.

Sometimes boardwalk is left unfinished, especially when good quality boards are used. If, after the arrangement of the ceilings, the flooring is to be laid on the floor above, then a layer of vapor barrier is laid on top of the insulation, then a wooden floor base can be laid.

How to hem a rough ceiling on wooden beams

The range of products is wide, so when choosing how to hem the ceiling in a private house, you should pay attention to the interior design of the room:

  • ceiling sheet materials: chipboard, fiberboard, plywood;
  • plastic decor resists moisture well, but you will have to make high-quality vapor barrier to prevent condensation from accumulating;
  • wood will be the best choice, affordable and quality.

In rooms with changes in humidity levels, temperature fluctuations, resinous wood should not be chosen so that the resin does not drip down when released. Edged boards are suitable for hemming the ceiling, the price of which is from $ 80 per m3, plywood will cost less - from $ 2.6 per sheet.

Tools and materials for work

To get the job done you will need:

  • board 25 mm;
  • fasteners: nails or self-tapping screws 45-55 mm;
  • cranial timber for arranging boards above beams;
  • sheets of mineral wool for insulation or mineral wool with dry sawdust in a ratio of 50:50;
  • waterproofing (film) and vapor barrier membrane.

If the filing of the ceiling on wooden beams is made with plywood, a rail and bars will come in handy for decorating the frame from the crate.

The following tools will come in handy: a saw or a jigsaw, a hammer, a stapler, a screwdriver, a pencil, a tape measure, a building or laser level, a square, a strong support or a stepladder. You will also need to stock up on personal protective equipment: gloves, mask.

Advice! The board is a more practical material - there is no need to buy additional slats for the crate. Fastening boards is made directly on the beams, it is stronger and cheaper.

Boarding ceiling boards

Having figured out how to hem the ceiling along wooden beams, you need to know how to do it.

Algorithm of work on the installation of a wooden subfloor:

  • fix the boards on the logs with screws or nails;
  • lay insulation, waterproofing material on top of the flooring.

Attention! It is important to prepare the boards according to the size of the ceiling so that there are no gaps or gaps during fastening.

The option of fastening the boards from the bottom of the log is the simplest, but in this case the beams are covered, it is difficult to get to them, if necessary. It is much better to sheathe the logs with a board on top.

Stages of work:

  • fix the cranial bars on the beams;
  • lay boards on a bar;
  • lay out sheets of heat, vapor barrier, and materials can be laid out both above and below the boards;
  • close the structure with plywood or other material.

In this case, the logs and the cranial bar will be visible and will become a good decor for the room.

On a note! All elements made of wood must be properly dried, pre-treated with impregnations from rot, bugs, and fire.

Ceiling lining with plywood

This option requires the arrangement of a crate, which will become a frame for mounting plywood sheets. When choosing how to hem the ceiling, it is worth evaluating the evenness of the surface - plywood sheets on the crate help to hide all the flaws in the evenness of the ceiling.

Advice! The option with plywood is chosen by the owners of houses, where the ceilings still retain their strength qualities, but have lost their aesthetic appeal. In addition, this design will withstand a thick layer of insulation.

Work is carried out in the following order:

  • fasten the vapor barrier membrane to the beams with a stapler;
  • from above, form a frame from a bar (40x60 mm) with a step equal to half a plywood sheet;
  • hem sheets of plywood on the crate, fasteners with self-tapping screws around the entire perimeter and crosswise;
  • lay sheets of insulation.

You can lay out insulation between the crate timber, and then hem the plywood - the choice remains with the owner. The main thing is that the sheets of material fit together without gaps and align the horizontal level of the frame to obtain a flat ceiling plane.

Is it necessary to process the draft ceiling

Having figured out how to hem the ceiling in a wooden house, you should not forget that the design requires additional protection, especially if there are fluctuations in humidity levels in the room. Processing includes the following steps: sanding for smoothness, puttying the seams between the sheets and fastener points. As soon as the putty mixture dries, sand the surface again and treat it with an impregnation with antiseptic and antiprene.

If the ceiling will be sewn up with plasterboard, metal profiles are mounted on the draft ceiling, on which the sheet material is then hemmed. And you can leave the plywood coating without decor, impregnated with tinting impregnation, matte or glossy varnish, paints.
