Determine the type of ceiling
There are many kinds of ceiling materials, such as gypsum board, ceiling board and hemp core board. Before removing the ceiling, it is necessary to determine the material and structure of the ceiling, so as to suit the remedy to the case and remove it more smoothly. Different types of suspended ceilings have different steps and methods.
Step 3: Empty the room.
Before removing the ceiling, the furniture, articles and floors in the room should be emptied as much as possible to avoid unnecessary damage and loss.
Step 4: Remove the ceiling.
Next, it is the process of removing the ceiling. Drilling can start from the joint between the ceiling and the wall and proceed step by step along the continuous gap. Cut the ceiling board along the rectangle with a knife, and keep the gypsum on the board from falling until the whole ceiling board is removed from the shelf. If it is a hemp core board, first tear or cut the gauze on the hemp core board, and then pry the board down. After removing the ceiling, clean up the sundries and rubbish in the room in time.
Step 5: Wall treatment.
After the ceiling is removed, there may be some nail holes, scratches and cracks on the wall, which need to be repaired. You can use caulking paste, gypsum powder and other materials to repair the wall to make it flat and smooth.
In a word, different methods should be used to remove the suspended ceiling according to different materials and structures, so we must pay attention to safety to avoid damaging the house or accidents. After the demolition work is completed, the room should be thoroughly cleaned and kept clean and tidy.
