Practical, durable and safe false ceilings Grilyato for all types of premises, varieties, technical characteristics of the components of the structure, calculation of materials, installation technology. Thanks to the development of high technology, Grilyato lattice ceilings have entered our interiors. This type of suspended ceiling was first produced in Italy. Today, lattice structures adorn many buildings around the world, thanks to their practicality and variety of types and colors.
Grilyato suspended ceiling specifications
Such a ceiling is a volumetric system of accessories. The entire structure of the Grilyato ceiling includes frame rails 60, 120, 180 and 240 cm long, connecting inserts, decorative profiles ("mother" and "father") for assembling a 60x60 cm lattice, wall corners and adjustable hangers that hold the entire structure.
Progress in creating new types of interior decoration does not stand still. At the same time, production technologies are also being improved, designed to improve the technical characteristics of materials and components for repair. In the case of Grilyato suspended ceilings, over time, the range of colors, formats of this type of false ceilings has significantly expanded, and the properties of the materials used have improved.
The main material from which Grilyato ceilings are made is aluminum and its alloys. Aluminum has a number of positive qualities that carry over to finished products.
Features and technical characteristics of Grilyato ceilings entirely depend on the properties of the base material:
- Ease … Aluminum is a light metal, therefore the weight of the ceiling per 1 m2 varies from 2 to 6 kg. It depends on the dimensions of the profile and the cell.
- Environmental friendliness … The metal does not emit toxic substances.
- Incombustibility … Products do not spread fire.
- High ductility … It allows you to roll it into very thin layers, such as foil. This property allows high-quality production of profiles of different thicknesses and configurations.
- Corrosion resistance … Aluminum is not subject to corrosion, which allows to extend the service life of the decorative coating and the entire structure as a whole.
The dimensions of the Grilyato ceiling are as follows:
- The thickness of the aluminum tape, from which the U-shaped profiles for the Grilyato false ceiling are produced, is in the range of 0, 32-0, 5 mm.
- Profile width varies from 0.5 cm to 2.4 cm, height - from 3 to 5 cm.
- The sizes of the cell have many options and depend on the wishes of the customer and the type of Grilyato ceiling chosen by him. The most popular option is 10 cm. The minimum size is 3 cm, the maximum is 20 cm.
The main advantages of Grilyato ceilings
Among the advantages of Grilyato, the following stand out:
- Versatility is the main advantage of this design. There are no restrictions on use by type of premises.
- Reducing the noise level in the room due to the volumetric cellular structure of the structure and the use of special membranes.
- The ability to change the visual perception of the volume of large rooms. The Grilyato ceiling visually reduces the volume of the room, but it looks quite airy and light.
- All types of communications and additional equipment are easily hidden under the structure of the Grilyato ceiling, which in turn is designed so as not to interfere with the operation of climatic equipment, fire extinguishing devices, as well as to provide access for service. At the same time, the overall aesthetic appearance of the room is preserved.
- Practicality is manifested in the possibility of creating a ceiling design that is unique in terms of format. Lattice suspended ceilings can be perfectly combined with other types of finishes, be it plasterboard construction or cassette ceilings. The most common Grilyato single-level ceilings, but at the same time, multi-level structures using modules of different colors and different types of lighting can significantly diversify the interior.
- The availability of many options for arranging lighting, for example, built-in or ceiling lights.
- The powder material with which the metal is processed prevents the settling and accumulation of dust, as well as prevents the development of mildew and mold.
- The design of Grilyato ceilings does not impede air ventilation, so humidity does not accumulate in the room.
- Caring for such a false ceiling is reduced to simple wet processing without the use of special tools.
Varieties of Grilyato ceiling designs
This suspended ceiling can rightfully be attributed to the Hi-Tech design style. His attitude to the style of high technology is justified by a combination of straight, laconic lines and shapes, strict geometrical design, besides, light metal is used as the basis for components, and the placement of lighting fixtures is not tied to the center of the room, i.e. is decentralized.
Initially, the color palette consisted of 7 options: white, beige, black, matte, gold, super chrome, silver. Manufacturers currently offer around 190 tone options.
Suspended ceilings Grilyato have several varieties:
- Standard view … It is a suspension system mounted parallel to the floor. The cells are of the correct square shape. The cost for such ceilings is the lowest of a whole range of options.
- Pyramidal view … It differs in the non-standard shape of the cells; in the assembly, not U-shaped profiles are used, but U-shaped ones. Pyramidal ceilings visually increase the height of the room space.
- Louvered ceiling … It is assembled from profiles of various heights. Individual sections can be rectangular. When using this type, access to the laid communications is simplified.
- Lattice with non-standard mesh … Allows you to diversify the interior with an unusual combination of "mom" and "dad" profiles.
- Multilevel lattice ceilings … Also equipped with profiles of different heights. This creates the desired design effect.
Often, Grilyato ceilings are installed in public places, various institutions where functionality and unique style are appreciated, for example, banks, business centers and large luxury stores, cinemas, airports and train stations, hotels, restaurants. However, the advantages of this finish make it possible to use them in residential buildings. In any case, when choosing Grilyato ceilings, the room is transformed into a stylish space.
Do-it-yourself Grilyato ceiling installation technology
Installation of the Grilyato ceiling is a crucial stage, on the quality of which the durability of the structure directly depends.
Preparing to install the Grilyato ceiling
The Grilyato suspended ceiling must be installed exclusively on prepared ceilings. The preparatory stage includes: removing old finishes and dirt, repairing cracks, joints, leveling the floor, painting the surface of the main ceiling with whitewash or interior paint, preparing communications, marking the level of the false ceiling around the perimeter of the room.
To determine the number of required components, it is necessary to calculate the Grilyato ceiling. The result depends on the type of design chosen, the desired cell dimensions and the main parameters of the room - length and width. It is quite laborious to make such calculations on your own. On the websites of manufacturers or dealers of false ceilings, profile calculators are offered for accurate calculations of the quantity, weight and volume of the required goods.
Surface marking for mounting the Grilyato ceiling
Before installing the structure, you need to mark the base:
- Measure the length and width of the room. Divide these values in turn by the length of the frame battens (2, 4 or 1, 8 m). Determine the remnants of the rails in both cases in order to economically use the components. Frame slats are fixed parallel to the wall where the residues are smallest.
- First, on paper, draw a plan for the placement of frame battens and fixtures. Then transfer it directly to the ceiling. Along these lines will be located suspensions that hold the entire ceiling structure, and fixtures for the luminaires.
- One 60 cm rail requires 1-2 suspensions, for a 120 cm rail - 2-3 suspensions, and for a 240 cm rail - 3-4 suspensions.
- Determine the level of the false ceiling, taking into account the laid communications and lighting fixtures. Using a building level, mark the entire perimeter.
- After complete marking on the ceiling plane, drill holes for attaching hangers and lighting fixtures.
- If additional load is provided on some sections of the ceiling, for example, the placement of lamps, then reinforce the nearby frame profiles with additional suspensions.
Follow the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the placement of suspensions in order to evenly distribute the load of the structural elements and to avoid breaking the level of the false ceiling during operation.
Installation of the Grilyato ceiling
Direct installation of Grilyato ceilings includes the stage of equipping the main frame and direct attachment of decorative grilles to it. During these works, the volume of construction waste is minimal.
To create a frame with sections measuring 60x60 cm, follow these steps:
- Using the markings on the walls of the room, install a corner wall, which is the basis for maintaining the correct level of the ceiling. Use dowel nails as fasteners.
- Fix the hangers in the ceiling with an umbrella dowel and self-tapping screws in increments of at least 1 m. Adjust their height so that the hook is 4-5 cm above the level of the wall profile.
- Insert the frame profiles into the suspension hook. Attach the long carrier rails first, then the shorter ones. To keep the structure strong and unified, use special connecting elements. The frame must not be fixed close to the wall in order to avoid mechanical deformation of the ceiling under additional loads. It is convenient to cut off the excess aluminum profile with special scissors for metal.
- Route the required wiring to the outside of the ceiling.
The decorative grilles must be assembled separately, this is a simple task. Each "dad" and "mom" strip has grooves along which assembly is performed at right angles. Then the finished gratings are neatly fixed in the sections of the frame.
In the end, it is necessary to adjust the level of the Grilyato ceiling with the help of suspensions and install lighting fixtures. Leveling the ceiling in level can be done earlier, when some 60x60 sections have already been built on the frame. In this case, it is necessary that several decorative grilles be assembled in advance.
They are installed on the frame in a checkerboard pattern. Thus, the ceiling receives a certain load, thanks to which it is possible to identify weak points and strengthen them.
