How can I install polystyrene covings, ceiling roses, ceiling panels?

Bovelacci recommends Eurocoll Plus glue available in cartridges and 1,8 kg and 7 kg buckets  as, besides gluing, it serves as a stucco to cover the joints because it is a paintable glue. For covings we recommend the cartridge, for ceiling panels the bucket. The support must be absorbent (ex. wall).

How do you create corners for covings using the mitre box and the saw?                                                         

Place the coving in the mitre box pretending that its base is the ceiling, the side of the maitre box is the wall. Place the saw in the cut area and proceed to the first cut; Reposition the coving on the opposite side so that the second cut can be mirrored to the previous one, thus obtaining the exact inclination that will allow you to align the two cuts and obtain a 90 degrees angle.

No, it is recommended to use always water-based varnish without solvent.

 

How can I install polyurethane beams?

For the beam's installation, use the special nogs, one per meter; Fix the nogs to the ceiling with a wall plug then put the Eurocoll Plus glue in the part of the beam in contact with the ceiling and proceed with the joining of the beam to the nogs by pressing it well against the ceiling to let the glue stick on the ceiling itself.  Now secure the beam to the nogs piercing it laterally with screws or nails headless that penetrate the existing nogs. At this point, you can cover the joints using the joint strip that simulates an iron band: WTFG or, for modern beams, you can use the joint strips specifically designed for each model. Finish any color scratches with finishing paint, available of the same color of the beam.

Bovelacci beams must be installed with Eurocoll Plus, because only for this we can guarantee perfect adhesion to the ceiling. The support must be absorbent (ex. wall) Furthermore, it is necessary to use rough nogs.

 

What is the side of Climaform to place the glue?

Brickstyl exterior covings must be painted with the desired color paint but it must be an elastomeric exterior paint. Non-elastomeric paints could crack because they would not be able to absorb the thermal expansion of the support.
