Ceilings: how to level the ceiling and avoid peeling?

High-quality ceiling leveling is the key to a beautiful and durable renovation that will not require restoration in just a few months. The answer to ceiling finishing always starts with safety and checking engineering communications, such as hidden wiring, pipes, or ventilation shafts, and only then moves on to decorative finishing. This approach reduces the risk of damaging hidden communications and prevents serious problems in the future.

The main reason for plaster or putty peeling from the ceiling slab lies in the violation of the application technology and poor preparation of the base. To avoid such troubles, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the surface from residues of old materials and dust. A mandatory step is the application of a deep-penetrating primer in two layers with intermediate drying, which strengthens the base and ensures reliable adhesion of finishing materials to concrete.

To ensure that ceiling leveling is strong and durable, it is recommended to perform the work according to the following instructions.

Maintaining the temperature regime and humidity in the room also plays a critical role in preventing peeling. Avoid drafts and sudden temperature changes during the drying of plaster and putty compositions. Such an attentive and technological approach to ceiling leveling guarantees the monolithicity of the coating and its flawless appearance for years to come.
