The arrangement of private houses has a number of nuances and features. Recently, suspended ceilings in a wooden house have become very popular. They allow you to greatly diversify and decorate the interior of the room. In addition to ease of installation, such designs have other advantages. Specialists are able to create a truly stunning design for a wooden building using suspended ceilings.

Advantages and disadvantages of suspended ceilings
Before installing suspended ceilings in a wooden house, the pros and cons of such a solution will need to be analyzed in detail. The distinctive characteristics of such a design directly depend on the properties of the materials used to create them.
The strengths of such paintings include:
- Fast installation procedure.
- The surface will not require lining or leveling; these processes are often costly and labor-intensive.
- Furniture and wall coverings will be reliably protected from roof or second floor leaks.
- Caring for such a surface is simple.
- Tensile structures will help hide minor defects or unevenness in the ceiling.
- After installing such a ceiling, a perfectly smooth coating is formed, which over time does not fade, does not crack and does not need updating. If the installation was carried out correctly, the service life of such a structure can be more than 10 years.

But this solution also has its own weaknesses. Among them are:
- If the heating of the house is poor or irregular, the PVC sheet may become damaged or deformed over time.
- Fungus, mold or condensation may form on the wooden beams of a building.
- If the ceiling is damaged due to mechanical impact, it will be impossible to restore it.
Most of these disadvantages can be eliminated. For example, the appearance of mold or mildew can be prevented by treating with special antiseptics.
Functions of a hygienic shower
The device is designed to maintain the hygiene of an adult’s intimate parts with water procedures after visiting the toilet, and for small children to wash themselves. The device is convenient to use for older people. This is an opportunity to always feel clean.
In the toilet it is used to solve a number of other problems:
- the toilet bowl is washed;
- for high-quality cleaning of the bathroom and toilet;
- rinse dirty objects over the toilet bowl: animal trays, a child’s potty, a bucket after cleaning a residential building or apartment;
- wash the paws of pets after walking outside.
The hygiene device is also installed in combined bathrooms. It is installed, first of all, to ensure that all intimate hygiene procedures are carried out in a comfortable position.
The impact of low temperature on the ceiling
It is worth considering that the installation of PVC-based structures is contraindicated in unheated buildings. At temperatures below 5 degrees the material shrinks, and in severe frosts it cracks and is completely deformed. With irregular heating, PVC contracts and expands depending on the temperature of the room, which has a bad effect on its service life.
For cladding ceilings in a private house, it is better to choose fabric material. This option, although it costs more, has excellent strength. This design is practically unaffected by temperature changes and other environmental influences.

If you live in a wooden building on a permanent basis and regularly heat it, the choice of material is not particularly important.

Nuances of preparatory work
Installing suspended ceilings in a house requires careful preparation. You will need to take into account the type of materials from which the walls were lined. If plasterboard or lining was used for finishing, then installation of the frame will not cause any special complications. But a surface based on a rounded beam can significantly complicate the work for a specialist.

In some cases, the top floor is pre-insulated. This will reduce temperature changes that can affect the quality of the ceiling material. In hot weather, such a structure can sag, and in severe frost, it can crack. If there are leaks, the roof must be repaired.
Important! You will first need to check the quality of the installed wiring. If the cable becomes very hot or the wires are close to the structure, this may damage the fabric or cause a fire.
The type of construction is selected based on the ceiling height. The profile version does not matter much, but the plastic one is much more flexible and can be adjusted to the unevenness of the wall cladding. It is also worth considering that if the building was erected recently, it will take 2 years to wait for the foundation to shrink.
Temperature
It is worth paying special attention to the composition of the canvas. The operating temperature for PVC sheets ranges from +5 to +50°C. Fabric ceilings are more expensive, but they also have a greater margin of safety. They retain their appearance and properties both at −50 and +40°C.
The presence of a stove in the room as a whole does not affect the change in the characteristics of the paintings. It is only necessary to take precautions directly near the pipe to ensure optimal temperature conditions.
PVC film stretch ceilings of any type are installed using special equipment - a heat gun. The preservation of the quality and appearance of the canvas depends on the correct temperature. The process does not take much time. Before the main assembly, the room is heated to +40°C, and the materials are stored in another room.
Tension occurs when the vinyl film is heated to +70°C, so you need to be extremely careful. It is better for this work to be carried out by a craftsman who has experience in installation in wooden houses. Ceilings made of fabric do not require heating.
Design selection
Stretch ceilings in a wooden house are divided into the following types:
- Glossy. This option can visually expand the room and make it taller. This is possible due to its reflective properties.
- Matte. It is a universal solution for all types of houses, including wooden ones.
- Satin. Satin is in many ways similar to the matte version, but at the same time has a more sophisticated and stylish appearance.
Stretch ceilings can be equipped with various lighting sources. It should be taken into account that the use of spots will increase the interval between the canvas and the rough surface by 3-12 cm, depending on the type of devices, wiring and type of construction.

The width of the film is an extremely important parameter. For spacious buildings, fabric surfaces are best suited; their standard width is 5 m. Finishes based on PVC and its varieties can have different sizes from 1.2 to 4 m. When choosing a prefabricated structure, the edges can be easily joined. Proper cladding will completely hide the seams.
Temperature indicators
It is imperative to take into account the composition of the construction material. The temperature of use of PVC panels can vary from 5 to 50 degrees. Fabric surfaces are more expensive, but have better durability. They are able to withstand sub-zero temperatures without damage or deformation.

Configuration
Stretch ceilings on a wooden ceiling can be given a wide variety of shapes, from classical to futuristic. The final decision always remains with the owner, but the advice of experienced designers should also be taken into account.
When using suspended ceilings in a country house, the following types of construction are most often used:
- A continuous canvas installed at the same level throughout the entire length of the room.
- Using zoning of a stretch ceiling with beams.
- Multi-level systems that are divided into several small areas.
- Decorative structures in the form of caissons and arches.
- "Starry Sky".
- Use of built-in stained glass windows and mirrors.
- Complex configurations.
Installation process
The procedure is not particularly complicated, but has a number of features depending on the type of decoration of the room. The procedure for assembling the ceiling is as follows:
- First, the room is measured and the materials are fastened using a profile.
- The product is connected to the base corner and beams, then a similar fastening is carried out for the opposite corner.
- The frame is being installed.
- Fixation is carried out in a baguette.
- The fabric is carefully stretched and fixed in the corners.
Differences in the installation procedure for wooden buildings
Wood is a rather complex material. In timber-based buildings, suspended ceilings are not installed so often. The work is complex and requires experience and certain skills from the specialist. During the installation procedure you will need to consider the following recommendations:
- It will be necessary to carry out ventilation, since the false ceiling will not allow the wood to breathe. Because of this, mold and mildew often appear.
- The work is carried out using a tension gun, but you need to be extremely careful to avoid a possible fire.
- Boards and joists will need to be lined several weeks in advance with special compounds that will prevent fire and rotting of the material.
- Before installation, you will need to carefully level the ceiling. The baguette will need to be cut at a certain angle. Then the joints are glued. To simplify installation, you can create a plank underlay. The wood drills well and holds well with self-tapping screws. There will be no need to waste time securing dowels.
- Fastening a beam with a baguette in the middle is not used, since the next fastener will be located at the junction of the logs, and this is contraindicated. When marking a little further, the width of the marking line will become slightly less than the middle. To carry out such procedures you will need the help of an experienced specialist.

Working with the stove installed
You will need to protect the baguette and coating from high temperatures. The stove will not interfere with the installation of the ceiling under the following conditions:
- You will need to first build a box based on plasterboard.
- You will need to secure a mortgage.
The surface will need to be cleaned more often, but soot and smoke can be easily removed with most cleaning solutions. It is contraindicated to use abrasives and aggressive mixtures, acids, as this can lead to damage or deformation of the structure.
Installation technology
The main stages of installing a stretch ceiling:
- Cleaning walls and ceilings from dirt, treating surfaces with protective agents.
- Determining the location of lighting fixtures, installing mortgages and supplying electrical wiring.
- Marking and fastening profiles at a distance of about 10 cm from the rough ceiling. The baguette is screwed with 6x50 wood screws or universal galvanized screws with a pitch of 10-15 cm.
- Warming up the room with a heat gun and tensioning the fabric. The film is tucked into the baguette starting from the corners and gradually moving towards the center. Fabric ceilings do not require heating and are stretched from the middle of the walls to the corners; upon completion of the work, the remaining fabric is cut off with a knife.
- Installation of lighting fixtures. In places where spotlights are installed, special thermal rings are glued to the canvas, protecting the film from tearing and overheating. Next, a hole is cut inside the tread ring and a lighting fixture is attached to the insert.
- Sealing of butt joints. The places where the baguettes adhere to the wall are covered with decorative tape, masking the installation joints.
Features of installation in a house with beams
If the design project provides for the external location of the beams, the installation of the tension fabric has some features. There are two ways to make wooden beams on the outside of the finish:
- The canvas is stretched over pre-installed base beams. Decorative false beams are installed on top.
- The stretch ceiling material is fixed in the spaces between the beams. To do this, it is divided into fragments of the required configuration.
It is much easier to do the work using the first method, but if the ceilings are low, it is not recommended to use it, since the usable area of the space is reduced. The second method is more complicated to implement, but can be used in any room.
Removing condensate
To get rid of this factor, you will need to install natural or forced ventilation. Often, two ventilation grilles are installed at the edges of the surface, located diagonally. This will reduce the pressure drop and prevent the accumulation of condensate. Even before the installation is completed, immediately after the construction is completed, special compounds against mold and mildew are used. They are used to coat wooden surfaces.
If film ceilings are installed in rooms with a high moisture content: a bathroom or kitchen, then the steam will accumulate on the surface and will not penetrate into the base of the wood. This will eliminate the disadvantage of condensation accumulation.

Roof leaks may also occur. In this case, you need to immediately call specialists who will unfasten the structure in one of the corners and remove the accumulated water. It will take some time to dry the surface, after which the product will be reattached.
