2025-11-04

The home creates

More than just a living space

It's more than just a pleasure; it's a continuation of happiness.

A spacious living room, a cozy bedroom, and a practical dining room.

All of these rely on ceiling decoration!

A suspended ceiling can not only help you easily divide your home areas

It can also add more design and aesthetics to your home.

For a good suspended ceiling, both material selection and installation are very important.

Three key factors need to be considered!

I. Ceiling Frame - High-Quality Light Steel Keel >>

Keel is a commonly used material in home decoration. It is mainly used to support and fix the structure, and is related to the stability, safety, and aesthetics of the structure.

Currently, the two main types of ceiling joists on the market are wooden joists and light steel joists. Compared to wooden joists, which are prone to deformation when damp, have poor fire resistance, weak load-bearing capacity, and are unsuitable for humid environments, light steel joists have advantages in terms of material performance and application scenarios.

Light steel keel has higher fire resistance, is not easily deformed, and has better flatness. Moreover, it is not affected by damp weather during construction, is less affected by building vibration, is easy to install, and has safety guarantees, so it is more widely used in the market.

However, the market is currently flooded with manufacturers of light steel keel, and the quality of their products varies greatly. Consumers must choose reputable vendors and channels when selecting light steel keel.

Jason Light Steel Keel is manufactured in accordance with the national standard GB/T 11981-2008 "National Standard for Light Steel Keel for Building Construction". It uses high-quality continuous hot-dip galvanized steel strip with a double-sided galvanizing amount of ≥ 100g/㎡, which meets and exceeds the national standard, and has excellent anti-corrosion and anti-rust performance.

Meanwhile, Jason light steel keel also features light weight, high rigidity, fire resistance, and resistance to deformation. Its unique reinforcing rib design makes construction simple and convenient.

Ceiling systems using Jason light steel keel as the ceiling frame can meet various performance design requirements for ceilings, such as strength, fire resistance, heat insulation, sound insulation, and steam protection. They are widely used in the interiors of various buildings, and the installation method is particularly in line with the traditional usage habits in China.

II. Ceiling Decoration Materials - Environmentally Friendly Gypsum Board >>

Gypsum board is a widely used new type of ceiling decoration material. It not only has the characteristics of fire resistance, sound insulation, heat insulation, lightweight, good stability and not easy to age, but also gypsum board is easy to shape, which can achieve better home decoration effect and has a more design sense and taste in terms of style and aesthetics.

Jason paper-faced gypsum board is made of high-quality, high-purity desulfurized gypsum as the main raw material, combined with high-strength protective paper. It is flat and smooth, heat-insulating, noise-reducing and flame-retardant. It can be sawed and nailed, is easy to install, and does not produce or release any harmful substances, making it energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

In terms of functionality, Jason gypsum board is divided into standard paper-faced gypsum board, water-resistant paper-faced gypsum board, fire-resistant paper-faced gypsum board, water-resistant and fire-resistant paper-faced gypsum board, moisture-resistant paper-faced gypsum board, as well as Jason Gold Formaldehyde-Free Board+ and Jason Healthy Board specially launched for home decoration, providing a variety of functions and scenarios to meet the needs of different residential users.

III. Ceiling Installation Methods - Construction Process >>

For those new to home renovation, sometimes they only focus on the design of the ceiling and neglect the correct installation method. This can lead to problems such as cracks, nail holes, and rust spots appearing on the ceiling after a period of time, seriously affecting the overall decoration effect.

Causes of ceiling cracks

(1) Improper installation of the hanger rods caused stress;

(2) Corners must be made of whole boards, otherwise cracking is likely to occur;

(3) If the gypsum board is not fixed properly, such as not screwing it in from the middle to the four sides according to the installation specifications or having too large a spacing, the gypsum board will be stressed and cracked.

(4) Improper putty application process: The gypsum board and the wall have different thermal shrinkage or dry shrinkage. If the material interface is not properly treated, the putty at the joint is prone to cracking.

B

Causes of yellowing ceiling

(1) The environment is humid and poorly ventilated;

(2) The putty was not applied according to the construction requirements. The first coat of putty was not completely dry before the second and third coats of paint were applied. The color seeped outward with the water, and efflorescence and yellowing occurred.

(3) Self-tapping screws must be coated with anti-rust paint after installation, otherwise they will turn yellow.

In conclusion, mature construction techniques play a decisive role in addressing many issues related to gypsum board ceilings. Jason Gypsum Board Ceiling System is a systematic solution developed over many years based on analysis and summarization of various common construction problems, including those mentioned above. It effectively avoids post-construction issues caused by improper operation and is suitable for various home decoration environments and application scenarios.
