Knauf suspended ceilings are known to many people in the most different countries. They got their name from the name of their rather famous German manufacturer “Tigi-Knauf”. Thanks to special production technology complete systems Knauf “suspended ceilings” combine aesthetics, ergonomics and simplicity, coupled with a reasonable price. Knauf suspended ceilings are a subspecies plasterboard ceilings, therefore, they have some of its advantages and disadvantages. Many people install them at work or at home, and they are often used in industrial construction.
In our article we will look at the main thing, paying attention to the advantages of this type, its features, tips for, the installation process itself and the materials necessary for this. We remind you that carefully selected photos are presented specifically so that you can better understand the essence of the article, do not neglect to consider them.
Plasterboard structures as such make it possible to adjust the height of the ceiling and hide communications underneath, since they can form multi-level structures at some distance from the base ceiling. Actually, this is why Knauf ceilings can be called suspended. But one of the most important advantages remains that with the help of sheets you can create structures of various shapes, including spherical and cone-shaped. The plasterboard also supports the insertion of lamps.
If you choose the right insulation, then such a ceiling will be indispensable and will serve you for a long time. In the kit you receive the drywall sheets themselves and a metal profile, which is necessary for installing the former.
Before starting work on installing gypsum boards - plasterboard sheets- it is necessary to complete all finishing work, in particular on the walls. Don't leave work that involves interacting with water until last. Naturally, before finishing the walls they must be smooth and clean, so take time for this too.
The installation itself must be carried out at a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and above, and the best option will support average temperature 15-20 degrees. Therefore, as a last resort, when work takes place in winter, take care of heating for the room. This will help both people and materials stay in shape. Speaking about the humidity level, do not forget that dry mode is the most preferable, but normal mode is also acceptable. You can learn how the level of humidity is delineated from SNiP 02/23/2003 “Thermal protection of buildings”.
After meeting all the above conditions, it is necessary to accurately mark the ceiling, taking into account the pitch for the ceiling and the type of load for attaching the suspensions. That is, on the ceiling it is necessary to mark with a pencil the location of the sheets of drywall. Do not forget that those communications that you plan to hide under the ceiling must be carried out immediately after marking.
When using sheets from the manufacturer Knauf, ceiling installation must involve 10, and sometimes more, different elements.
Let's see which ones:
The ceiling according to the Knauf system is usually quite heavy, because repairs involve a large number of elements (read also: " "). You could see this yourself by reading the previous subtitle. And it is very important to buy the required amount of material in advance so that it is enough for the entire duration of the work. Our list of materials that are needed to secure gypsum boards on 1 square meter will help you with this.
Given average consumption materials that will be needed during installation of the entire ceiling:
All of the materials listed are very important for the successful completion of the work. But do not forget that in this table we have not given the quantities of some other materials that will be needed only under certain conditions or on one section of the ceiling. Thus, these include fasteners, connectors, guide profiles and screws.

I continue the series of articles about KNAUF device technologies plasterboard structures. Today the suspended ceiling is on a single-level frame made of metal profiles, under the brand name P113 (P-113, P113).
Suspended ceiling on a single-level frame in designations complex systems KNAUF, designated as P113 or P213. Let me explain the difference between these markings.
The framework of both systems is the same. This is a single-level frame made from standard KNAUF metal profiles, weighed on hangers. The crosshairs of the frame are connected by a single-level crab connector. The difference between the P113 and P213 systems lies in the types of sheets used for covering the ceiling.
Important! The frame structures of both types of ceilings are the same.
Let's look at the P113 ceiling diagram. In listing the structural elements, I will indicate the need for materials for one square. meter of ceiling, which weighs 13 kilograms.

The largest number of issues in the installation of suspended ceilings are the distances between the suspension fastenings and, as a result, the technological distances between the profiles in the frame structure. To this question, the answer is:
Note: The main profile is short sections of profiles between long supporting profiles. Load-bearing profiles, profiles to which plasterboard sheets are attached.
The integrated system “Ceiling P113” is used in any premises. Depending on the type of room, the type of cladding sheet changes. So for a normal room it is used GSP-A sheet, in a damp room sheet GSP-H2. In a flammable room GSP-DF.
I will list the main stages of installation (briefly):
Electrical wiring performed behind suspended ceilings is considered hidden. Performed according to PUE standards for hidden wiring with the ability to replace it without dismantling the ceiling, in pipes or corrugation. For access to junction boxes, technical hatches are equipped. Recommended cable VVGng or imported analogues (NYUM). Electrical wiring is installed before the ceiling is installed.

Installation wooden frame happens in several ways:
The frame is made of a metal profile and is mounted with multi-level suspensions. P 113 is used where there will be heavy ceilings, so the material for it is wall profile, and the distance between the dowels should be no more than 30 cm.
You will significantly reduce the time spent on repairs and save energy if you follow some tips and recommendations:
Knauf technology for installing drywall involves sealing seams using a special tape:
Also, a special Knauf dividing tape is installed between the gypsum board sheet and the outer corner.
Let's look at the Tigi-Knauf ceilings. This technology was first proposed by the German company Tigi-Knauf; they became very popular and are called by the name of this company. In Russia, they are widely used in industrial and office construction, as well as in the decoration of residential premises. Comparative cheapness, speed and relative ease of installation have made the suspended Knauf ceiling in demand in our market.
Such a ceiling in combination with sound and thermal insulation materials gives optimal performance.
The Tiki Knauf suspended ceiling kit includes sheets of certain sizes made of plasterboard and a special metal frame.
Installation of suspended ceilings made of gypsum plasterboard is recommended to begin during finishing works, but always after completion of the main work related to the wet process. All wall leveling work must also be completed. If the walls are sheathed with plasterboard, then they must be sheathed by this moment; if plastering work is planned, then they must be plastered.
Installation must be carried out under the condition that dry or normal humidity conditions are maintained in accordance with SNiP 23-02-2003 “Thermal protection of buildings”. The temperature in the room where work is carried out and where installation materials are stored should not fall below 10°C.
Before installation, an accurate calculation of the future structure is carried out, the grid is laid out in accordance with the recommended step for a given type of ceiling and the mounting of the suspensions to the base ceiling is marked in accordance with the type of load (see)
Advice. All electrical, ventilation and other communications, if they pass above the suspended ceiling, must be installed and their functionality must be checked.
The weight of one square meter of the finished ceiling is about 13.5 kg, it may vary slightly depending on the sheets used. For example, in wet areas, it is necessary to use gypsum plasterboard sheets - moisture resistant, and for fire hazardous premises gypsum plasterboard sheets - fire resistant - are provided.
For one square meter finished ceiling you need:
What tools do we need in order to assemble suspended ceilings with high quality? Let's prepare the following set of tools:
Advice. Screwdrivers are best used with batteries. It's more convenient and safer.
Important. For large volumes, you can use a grinder with a metal circle.
Despite the impressive list of professional construction tools, complete KNAUF systems are installed quite simply, of course, if the master has an idea of how to use these tools and carefully studies the technology of ceiling construction.
Advice. What is the beating used for? If you use a water level or a laser level, then simply mark the corners, and then connect them using a tap.
Advice. Pay attention to the location of all electrical and other process wiring in the space above the ceiling frame. Any possibility of accidental damage by their sharp edges must be excluded. metal frame or with screws when attaching plasterboard sheets.
Having installed it at the junction, special fasteners are secured in the profile cavity, and the fastening itself should snap into place.
As a result, we should get a sheathing from a profile with a cell of 40X40.
Advice. When starting to finish the mounted plasterboard ceiling, check whether the screws protrude above the surface of the sheet.
Advice. First, the end edges of the sheets are chamfered at an angle of 22.5° to a depth of 2/3 of the sheet thickness using a special edge plane.
Advice: It is recommended to use a 250 mm spatula, in this case the layer will be of this width. The task is to smooth out as much as possible that invisible bump that appeared when applying the reinforcing tape.
We looked at the simplest device. You can install such a ceiling in an apartment yourself. You just need to follow technological sequence works
Plaster Construction Materials, finished with cardboard, are one of the most popular coatings for leveling walls and facades. Drywall Knauf considered the most popular and high-quality coating of this kind.
This material is classified according to its purpose, technical characteristics, and area of use. According to the characteristics, there are such types of Knauf plasterboard: moisture-resistant, fire-resistant, perforated acoustic. Let's look at the differences between these coatings:
Considering that Knauf plasterboard can be installed on the floor, ceiling and walls, the sheets are classified according to the same principle. The main difference between these types of material is the thickness of the sheets and their weight. For installation on walls and floors, you can use sheets with a fairly large mass, since they are mounted on a rigid frame. The ceiling cladding is made with thinner panels.
Specifications different types plasterboard Knauf:
The installation instructions for Knauf drywall are not much different from the installation technologies for other materials of this type (Volma, Magma). Before starting the work process, you need to prepare the wall. It is cleaned of old coatings, treated with primers and other protective compounds. If there are cracks and deep depressions, additionally plastered (you don’t have to use putty).
