We replace damaged modules correctly

Armstrong ceiling is a modular design. Accordingly, a common type of failure for it is the failure of one or more modules. Ceiling elements should be changed correctly, taking into account the peculiarities of changes in ceiling tiles during operation. When the ceiling has been used for a long time, its color may have changed somewhat. If the module is replaced in a visible place, the difference in color may be noticeable. To prevent this from happening, swap the structural elements. Place old slabs that have a shade similar to the rest of the coating in place of the damaged parts. Place the newly purchased modules in the place where they will be least noticeable.

Features of Armstrong ceiling repair

Types of repair measures are divided into 2 types:

• frame repair;
• updating of tile finishing.

If the damage to the ceiling system is minor, you are allowed to repair it yourself. However, be careful with DIY structural repairs. When the ceiling needs serious reconstruction or updating, contact certified and experienced specialists. They will complete the repair work as quickly as possible. Ignoring this rule can cause irreversible damage to the ceiling system. Do-it-yourself repairs are justified only if you need to remove some minor structural defects. In all other cases, contact highly qualified specialists.

How to understand that your ceiling needs repairs

Armstrong structures need repair if:

• there is sagging of modular slabs;
• severe dirt, drips, and stains appeared on the surface of the ceiling that could not be removed during cleaning;
• the ceiling system is affected by fungus and mold;
• modules or frame system have received severe mechanical damage;
• the frame shifted, its geometry was disrupted.

Each situation requires certain measures and methods that will be most effective. For example, the problem of mold or stains on the surface of modules can still be solved independently. In other cases, it is necessary to contact a professional for repairs.

Sometimes you can solve the problem of sagging slabs on your own. This situation is explained by the high level of humidity in the building. Could also be allowed when installing a frame system. If there are problems with the level of humidity, then, if possible, the microclimate in the room or building should be normalized. If this problem cannot be eliminated, moisture-resistant modules that are resistant to negative environmental conditions should be installed instead of conventional slabs.

If the frame system has failed, it is not recommended to fix the problem on your own without involving professionals. In this situation, it is necessary to dismantle the coating in order to get to the frame and correct the system defect. Next, the suspensions and guides are inspected. The tightness of the fastening elements is checked. If necessary, the master twists and tightens where necessary, and the height must be verified using a level.
