Almost any drywall construction can be realized. It can be simple or complex, act as a decoration or for leveling the surface, and also serve as the basis for light zoning of space.

There are several main types of such structures:

simple, with one level;
two or three levels;

combined tensioning.

The simplest option with one level of plasterboard ceilings, the photo of which is presented below, is quite common. With its help, they level the surface and distribute Spotlights based on lighting needs. And also such a layer is used as a basis for creating other levels of drywall.

What needs to be done	Photo instruction
Using a level, mark the required distance from the ceiling around the perimeter of the room. The range should vary from 10 to 20 cm. This is enough to cover the wires and will not make the ceilings too low. Using this markup, you fix the base for the initial guides.
Proceed to the preparation of the installation of the bearing profiles, for this you lined the surface retreating 125 cm. This width is equal to half a sheet of drywall. You can do a little more for the gap between the HPC elements, which is then coated with special mixtures. Each element will have 3 fasteners. Attach the anchor wedges to the strips drawn at a distance of 40 cm, followed by the supporting guides.
Leaving the distance from the wall to the beam, line up the initial profiles into the established base. Such work will allow avoiding deformation of the ceiling. After that, remove the screws from both sides of the "beam".
Install the supporting rails in the prepared hangers, while rechecking how even they are installed.
Make markings for longitudinal profiles, which must be left after 60 cm across or along after 40 cm. Install the guides so that they do not go from the edge into the fasteners of the next part. Fasten with "crabs" or with two pieces of the initial profile. Add a hanger to the middle of each element to keep the structure strong.
Proceed to sheathing the frame with sheets of drywall. It is better to treat the sheets with a waterproofing agent (primer). Be sure to leave space to the walls. Fasten the elements to the self-tapping screws every 20 cm. Staggered arrangement. Close the gap between the wall and the next HPC element with a piece of sheet, cutting it in half. Leave a gap between the elements, which the flood passes through the putty, after which it passes the entire surface of the ceiling.
Lay reinforcing mesh into the seams. Cover it with putty, wait until it dries and sand it.
Cover the surface with the mixture and apply the desired paint.
