How to paste a ceiling baguette

Ceiling baguette to date - one of the most frequently used decorative elements. This finishing material gives the decor of the room completeness and refinement. The idea of such an ornament was borrowed in classical Greek architecture. The first baguettes were made of gypsum, they were heavy and easily broken, it was very difficult to install them. Later began to appear products made of polystyrene, after a while on the market came out Baguettes of polystyrene and polyurethane. They are light, durable, durable, easy to handle. These materials are not subject to virtually no influence. Products can be putty, paint, glue, cut and saw.

The ceiling canopy is represented by a very large number of products of various types: there are smooth or carved, with vegetative or geometric patterns. To any style of design and design, you can choose a large number of options. It is desirable that this finishing material be made in the same manner as the curtain rails, and other decor elements. Such diversity gives
The opportunity to make the room unique and individual. Ceiling baguettes can be of different widths - from a few millimeters to a dozen centimeters. If you can not figure out in which style to decorate the interior of the room, look at the assortment of these products. It is very possible, the idea will appear. And, most likely, not alone.

Ceiling baguette can be glued to the prepared wall or already on top of the wallpaper. The first option is preferable - very often the walls are far from ideal, so the gap that appears between the baguette and the wall (ceiling) can easily be covered with putty or glue. If you mount the ceiling baguette on the pasted wallpaper, then eliminate such flaws more difficult. There is always the possibility of damaging or dirtying them.

How to glue

Before you glue the ceiling baguette, walls and ceiling must be prepared. First, level the surface, then clean it of dust and cover with a primer. This stage increases the reliability of fixing this decorative element. To glue the baguette on the plastered wall was easier, you can paint a small area of water-emulsion paint.

Most of the questions arise when the edges are pasted. If your walls are perfectly flat - you can use a carpenter's chair, where there are corners at 45 °. If the ideal is far away, you will have to work with a pencil. Alternately apply on two adjacent walls of baguettes, mark their contours with a pencil. Find the intersection of the two elements (from the outer and inner sides), draw a straight line, then, once again applying the original material, cut the excess line along the resulting line with a sharp knife or a small-serrated saw. If you are not very confident in your abilities - attach a ceiling baguette, put a pencil mark on it, and then trim it neatly. Even with not the most perfect performance, you can always slightly adjust the result with an acute clerical knife or putty (if you cut out too much). And it's best to practice on the leftovers, so buy baguettes with a margin.
