Rack ceiling Albes

Rack ceilings are easy to install and aesthetic appearance. Today, many consumers prefer Albes products.

This article discusses the advantages of such structures and features of the installation work.

The main activity of the company Albes is the creation of finishing materials from steel and aluminum. The proposed designs are used in buildings and structures where very high demands are placed on such products.

Rack ceiling structures consist of narrow parallel elements, they are attached to the frame. Using such a ceiling, you can create a very interesting interior design. For the production of Albes rails, thin-sheet aluminum is usually used.. The color of the structure depends on the type of polymer coating, it is even possible to imitate various textures. Such ceilings are used in public buildings, offices, residential buildings and many other buildings.

The Albes ceiling structures have a lot of advantages. The following are particularly important for consumers benefits that they note in their reviews:

• Increased strength and long service life of products. They almost never have to be replaced.
• Aesthetic appearance, originality of design. The manufacturer offers a variety of models and a lot of colors.
• Corrosion Resistance, chemistry, various mechanical stress.
• Ability to absorb sound (thanks to a special substrate).
• Resistance to high temperatures. To create slats manufacturer uses non-flammable materials.

• Ability to enhance natural lighting (materials reflect light).
• Fluid Resistance. Because of this, Albes rack ceilings can be used in rooms in which humidity is elevated.Such surfaces can be cleaned and washed using cleaning agents (however, they should not contain abrasive particles).
• Ability to fit well in a variety of interiors.
• Acceptable price (the manufacturer creates products at its own Russian factories).
• Security. Such a ceiling structure is lightweight, so it can not injure a person if it suddenly falls. It is also worth noting that with high-quality installation of such situations does not happen.

• There are no harmful substances in Albes slatted ceilings. for human health. They do not rot, fungi, various harmful microorganisms and molds do not develop on them.
• UV Resistancecold weather Such a system is suitable for use on unheated balconies, loggias.
• Load resistance (products will not be deformed).
• The ability to mount directly in lighting slats and other appliances.
• Ease of installation. With such work it is quite possible to cope on our own, without the help of specialists and tools that are difficult to get.

Galvanized and aluminum sheets, which are used in the manufacture of Albes suspended ceilings, are painted and are additionally coated with a polymeric substance.

The most common colors of such products:

• beige, light beige;
• chromium;
• white (the surface can be glossy or matte);
• golden;
• metallic (silver or matte).

Popular are also raspberry, light gray, dark, copper, blue version. The product can imitate any natural surface: granite, wood, pearls. Various combinations of colors are also possible: light background and green strokes, white background and golden stripes, and so on.

Panels are embossed, slightly wavy. Products from special grids are also created (cells - in the form of circles, rhombuses, squares). A primer or a protective lacquer can also be applied on the panels. There are a variety of options, it all depends on the wishes of the customer.

The manufacturer offers different types of rails. The following standard options can be distinguished:

• Italian design. The edges of such strips are rounded, to create products using aluminum. The manufacturer also offers panels made of expanded metal mesh."Italian" ceiling structures can be installed in closed and open ways, mesh slats - exclusively open. The products can be applied decorative relief or perforation.
• German design. Such designs differ in laconicism, severity. Reiki have a rectangular shape. Designs can be mounted in a closed or open way. The use of decorative color-rich inserts is possible.
• "Omega". Installation of these structures can be carried out exclusively by the closed method. It is possible to combine products that differ in width and color.

Albes also produces curvilinear slats, which make it possible to obtain interesting curved shapes. It is also worth noting that such structures well hide various defects present on the surface.

Cube-shaped material is usually set to open type. An aluminum profile is created in a rectangular section. Plate-like slats are flat, they are mounted vertically. V-shaped products are installed according to the open type, externally they resemble the letter V or the heart.

For the implementation of installation work will need to prepare all the necessary elements of the ceiling structure.

The basic kit usually includes:

• Reiki. These elements are the most important.
• Layouts - aluminum elements. These inserts should be placed between the slats, they are needed for open structures.
• Stringers (comb) - this is where the panels will be inserted. These are guides.

• Self tapping screws and other elements that allow to fasten the structure.
• Suspensions for the ceiling.
• Corner profilewith which the design is done complete. It is fixed around the perimeter.

First, you will need to install the frame, then - attach the lath panels. If the installation method is open, special layouts should be used. These elements are already the slats themselves and can be the same shade with them or have a different color.

Before installation, it will be necessary to determine how much material will be required for a particular ceiling. Find out the perimeter of the ceiling surface. So you can understand how much angular profile is required. Calculate the number and length of combs.

Determine how many rails you need to purchase.The number of these elements will depend on the size of the products and on the method of installation. Decide how many hangers you will need (they are usually mounted at a distance of about 30 cm from the walls, the distance between the elements is about 120 cm).

Since the ceiling is suspended, special preparation of the base is not needed. It is recommended to do the following:

• Remove hanging plaster from the surface, apply antiseptic agent on it.
• Think about the places where you will place the fixtures, take care of the wiring.
• On the floor will need to free up space so that nothing would interfere with the implementation of installation work.

So that later there are no problems with the slats, you need to be very careful when installing the frame. Determine the places where the angular profile will be attached, connect the labels with each other in a flat horizontal line. To determine as accurately as possible where all points should be, use the building level.. If you do not need to install lamps, the distance between the ceiling structure and the base may be relatively small (about 5 cm). If lighting fixtures are used, increase it.

Then in the corner profile you will need to make holes using a perforator. The distance between the holes is 50 cm. Drill a wall through them and fix the corner with the help of the dowel. Then you will need to attach suspensions. Using the stringers, install the frame (you will need to attach the dies to the hooks of the hangers).

Reiki fasten on a suspended design.

After completion of the main installation work, the ceiling structure should be made as flat as possible. To do this, adjust the mechanisms available on the suspensions.

To learn how to install the rack ceiling yourself, see the following video.

To make cuts under the decorative elements, lighting devices, use nozzles-crowns for drills of certain diameters. So you can handle it as quickly and easily as possible.

A very interesting option is the diagonal installation of panels. This method of installation will allow you to change the proportions of a square room.To visually make a wider narrow room, place the slats across.
