Why do home improvement ceilings rarely use light steel keels?

When decorating, many people will decorate the ceiling and make a delicate ceiling to beautify the living room. Then the question is, if we want to make a suspended ceiling, should the material be made of wood keel or light steel keel? Today, Little Rabbit will give you a detailed analysis and analysis.

First of all, we will compare from several aspects to see the difference between the two.

Wooden keel1.Ease of construction:

If we compare the ease of construction, the wooden keel may be more convenient, because it can be cut according to our needs, while the light steel keel is not.

2.Construction price comparison:

The price is definitely the first choice for many people to compare, and if the light steel keel and the wooden keel are compared in price, the price of the latter will be more favorable. So if budget is the first criterion you consider, the wooden keel is a perfect fit. So how much does it cost to make a wooden keel ceiling like this?

3.Fire Safety Comparison:

Because the light steel keel is a steel structure system, it will be much better than the wooden keel in terms of fire protection, after all, the wooden keel belongs to flammable wood.

4.Waterproof and sound-absorbing contrast:

The light steel keel is not afraid of water, light weight, and has many advantages in building construction, especially in waterproofing and sound absorption, which is much better than the wooden keel.

So to sum up, Xiaotu still thinks that the light steel keel is more suitable for the public's choice, but if the budget is limited, you can still choose the wooden keel, after all, the difference is not too big.

The strength of the light steel keel is better, but the construction difficulty is greater than that of the wooden keel, and the cost is higher.

Ceiling is an indispensable process in the decoration, the materials used in the service are also several, I don't know when I found that the light steel keel is rarely used as a family ceiling material in the home decoration, what is the reason?

1. The light steel keel is an iron sheet product, and its use is very easy to deform due to material problems, especially it is easy to be affected by thermal expansion and cold contraction, and it is easy to expand and contract, causing deformation and cracking of the external gypsum board; In addition, there are many home decoration shapes, and the use of light steel keel as the main material can not be well bent or downgraded, so light steel keel rarely appears in home decoration.

2. The cost of light steel keel is also higher than that of traditional wooden keel, and it is easy to exceed the budget when using light steel keel in home decoration, which is also the reason why light steel keel is rarely used in home decoration.

3. There is the habit of using the area, most of the carpenters are not very accustomed to the use of light steel keel in the decoration process, and most of the time they still use wooden keel, which can make them decorate various shapes as they like.

Ceiling keel use the correct steps.

1. According to the design drawing, first find the horizontal line of the highest point of the ceiling to be installed, and pop up the construction line between the width of the four walls to determine the height and size of the ceiling.

2. After the completion of the preliminary planning, the keel should be preliminarily fixed in the corresponding horizontal position, and the percussion drill must be used to drill holes between 30-40 centimeters of noisy meters in order to make the keel firmly fixed on the ceiling.

3. When fixing the keel, we must pay attention to the horizontal line, if the keel is not fixed, the whole ceiling will look uneven, and even the entire ceiling is skewed.

4. After the keel base is fixed, the corresponding number of slow shapes will be pinned out according to the design drawing, and fine-tuning can be carried out if there is a slight unevenness.

5. Finally, the decorative panel and gypsum board are installed on the outside, and the construction of the entire ceiling is basically completed at this time.

The light steel keel is not unused in home decoration, and it will appear when the integrated ceiling is installed in the bathroom and kitchen; The place with the highest frequency of light steel keel is generally on large ceilings such as shopping malls, generally such ceilings use light steel keels and their construction speed is faster, and there are large-area ceilings with lower construction requirements for modeling.

There are several reasons for this:

2. The fire rating of the wooden keel and plywood, because it is wood, the price is close to the people and cannot reach Class A fire protection, why the tooling has mandatory requirements for the keel, because the fire protection of the tooling has hard regulations, and the requirements for home decoration are not so high.

3. The problem of anti-termites in the wooden keel, the wood used in home decoration, according to my observation, has not yet seen any anti-termite treatment.

4. Mildew problem. Wooden keels are organic and can cause mildew when exposed to moisture, and although you can ask for a surface treatment to make it mildew-proof, who have you seen do it?

Why workers and decoration companies like to use wooden keels so much. The first is that the workers are skilled in timber work, and the installation of light steel keels is not particularly convenient; The second is that the wooden keel is much cheaper than the light steel keel, about twice the difference.

Light steel keel ceiling is generally used more in tooling, relatively rare in home decoration, may involve two aspects, the first is the cost problem, home decoration is generally more gypsum board, the other aspect is the structure of the modeling, light steel keel ceiling is generally not much in the form of structure, not as colorful as home decoration.

Labor-intensive, labor-intensive.

If you can use a light steel keel, don't use a wooden keel, the only advantage of a wooden keel is that the construction is fast. Home decoration seals a gypsum board like to use air gun nails, gun nails are small rust but not yellowing is certain.

When I was doing interior decoration carpentry, we were all made of light steel keels for special-shaped ceilings, and I didn't think light steel keels were not easy to do.

The light steel keel is not deformed, does not crack and other advantages, but the price is expensive

Whether it is a wooden keel or a light steel keel, it depends on the specific construction site, shape, area, and environmental conditions during construction.

For example, in the construction of a 30*30cm long strip of non-light pool modeling gypsum board ceiling, the stability and convenience of using wooden keel are better than those of light steel keel.

But it is more advantageous to construct a flat-topped light steel keel with an area of 15 square meters, so why use a wooden keel?

Don't beat the wooden keel ceiling with a stick, how can the construction drawings be restored without the wooden keel, wood core board and nine centimeter board to make arc, multi-curved surface, and heterosexual surface ceiling? <>

Is it so complicated to use light steel keel for large areas and wooden keels for complex modeling in small areas?

The top of the modeling is made of wooden keel, as long as the master is fine, it is definitely more resistant than the light steel keel!

Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, light steel keel to buy the national standard is better, but the home improvement owners do not have the ability to distinguish the wooden keel is different fir is fir pine is pine This is basically visible Then my home in Wenzhou, Zhejiang, the climate is humid Most of the wooden keels installed more than 20 years ago are still good on the other hand, the light steel keels that have been placed for a few years will have different degrees of rust So the light steel keel is not accepted by most people in our side of home decoration Do not spray do not spray.

The light steel keel is the main keel, the wooden keel is the secondary keel, the light steel keel has high hardness and good load-bearing capacity, but it is difficult to do modeling, and the load-bearing capacity of the wooden keel is poor, but it is convenient to do modeling. Therefore, a combination of the two can achieve better results.

The advantages of carpentry dragon are labor-saving, the price is cheap, and there is no problem with good wood for fire prevention and corrosion. We do large-scale shopping malls five-star hotels, even B1 flame retardant board dare not use, not to mention the wooden keel, pure light steel keel or steel structure, can be indirectly connected with light steel keel, can not be connected with steel skeleton welding, plate with calcium silicate, glass magnesium and other wood boards, otherwise it will not meet the fire protection requirements.

It is not suitable for the light steel keel to be used as a modeling top, and it is best to use a wooden keel for the modeling top.

The cost of light steel keel is high, and insiders know that the light steel keel is good, and they don't like the non-keel ceiling, and the wooden keel is only suitable for people who can't pay for it.

Pure wood keel to make the ceiling, can complete the entire construction steps, with pure light steel keel can complete the entire construction steps, do not know not to blow eggs.

Now the technology is developed, the shelf life of the light steel keel is 10 years, so what about the wooden keel, I think 50 years is not bad, our ancient buildings are wooden structures, is there no iron in ancient times, and then look at the various exquisite shapes of ancient buildings, do you still want to say that the light steel keel is good?

For the light steel keel I think there is still a certain misunderstanding, that the light steel keel is suitable for hanging flat roof, and even the secondary ceiling can not, in fact, no, first of all, the advantages of light steel keel are also many, will not be affected by moisture, not easy to deform, but also fireproof, for skilled masters to operate is not very difficult.

We look at this picture is the surrounding 30 cm ceiling, leaving the position of the light trough, the keel gives way to the position of the central air conditioning outlet, and the whole frame is very stable after being fixed.

Light steel keel ceiling has been able to meet the needs of home decoration, as part of the secondary ceiling I think and the combination of wood keel is also elegant, I like to design as I like, of course, this is to ensure that the worker master can implement.

The advantages of the wooden keel are also there, but for the sake of safety, the fireproof coating should be made in the early stage, which is easy to operate, and the wood can be used flexibly.

If the ceiling is not high, I recommend using a wooden keel, the wooden keel can be fully exerted in a small space, if you dare not hang the ceiling because of the low floor, it can only appear to be low, and the flexible use can make the ceiling have a sense of upward extension, the ceiling height design I have done 45mm, easy to operate is not difficult.

Relatively speaking, there are more light steel keels in the north of Beijing, and the air in the south is more humid but more wooden keels are used. <>

I've been doing it for five or six years. I haven't done it with a wooden keel. The public decoration outside is all light steel keel, and the home improvement company now also requires the use of light steel keel.

It should be that wooden keels are rarely used.

Now home decoration is used with light steel keel.

Good quality, high load-bearing, good safety and durable.
