Having set the task quickly and without significant material costs to improve or update the appearance of the ceiling, do not discount the option of using as a finishing material slabs of foam.
Finishing the ceiling with foam tiles
First of all, a few words about the varieties of such finishes. Tile , depending on the method of production, is pressed (thickness of about 7 mm), injection (more thick - 14 mm) and extruded. In the form of foam plates on the ceiling are presented in the form of squares with a side of 50 cm or rectangles with dimensions of sides 16.5x100 cm. It should be noted a wide selection of tiles in terms of surface design - absolutely smooth, textured, with a convex pattern. Such a variety provides ample opportunities in the design of the ceiling in its own, individual, style.
The foam plastic tile also has a number of undeniable advantages:
- simplicity of installation. Pasting of ceilings with foam plastic tiles is carried out by applying glue (special, designed to work with polystyrene, universal or PVA) on the entire surface of the tile and further pressing it against the ceiling. Mounted (glued) tile can to any surface - from concrete and fiberboard to plaster and plaster;
- light weight allows you to use it for finishing ceilings, even with a low bearing capacity;
- tile is resistant to external influences (primarily moisture) and has excellent sound and heat insulating qualities.
Since there are no ideal materials, the foam tile is no exception. But its shortcomings (the ability to turn yellow with prolonged exposure to sunlight, the inability to decorate the ceiling with built-in lamps because of the small thickness of the tile) are more than offset by its low cost.
And in general, foam plates - a good alternative to suspension and stretch ceilings .
