Undoubted advantage of foam plastic ceiling skirting for stretch ceilings is its low price, ease of installation and ease of use. But this model is very fragile and has low plasticity, therefore, when fastening there is a high probability of damage. In addition, some types of glue are able to simply eat away the foam, because choosing the skirting and glue follows in one place.
Decorative molding of polyurethane is more durable and has convenient flexibility for work. Skirting board for stretch ceilings is great for working in a room with rounded wall elements. It is much more resistant to the effect of glue and you can not be afraid to damage its structure. But the price of all this pleasure is much higher than the cost of polystyrene foam. You should also remember the weight of the whole structure. When installing a decorative skirting for stretch ceilings should be attached only to the wall. When using large massive structures, there is a risk of deflection of the molding under its own weight. This species has no special decorative qualities. As for the color scheme, most often in the store you will be offered models of only white or black colors. Other shades will have to be ordered for an additional fee.
When installing, it is very important to measure the length correctly. The matter is that the plinth of this type is sold in large bays and in the process of work it can stretch out a little. When installing, it is possible that the molding is slightly stretched, and as a result, you will mark incorrectly. When the plinth is already on the ceiling, the rubber will return to its original position and pull the whole structure behind it. So for installation it is worth contacting specialists.
Plastic skirting for stretch ceilings is best suited for simulating different materials. Outwardly it is very similar to stucco molding and you can pick up any surface options: wood, metal, stone. Value for money is quite acceptable, because this particular species is by far the most popular on the market.
