Fretwork on the ceiling

This type of decoration of the ceiling proves once again that classical interior design techniques are always in demand. If the masters managed to combine the latest technology with traditional motifs, then it's worth thinking about decorative stucco on the ceiling. Even a modern suspended or stretched ceiling is easily decorated with stucco decor. Moreover, the choice is broad both in terms of design, and in terms of materials used.

Design of the ceiling with stucco - choose the material

Among the materials used, there are three main ones. The cheapest and most affordable is the styrofoam decor. Constructions are very easy, in any construction shop you will find a variety of its types. For fixing, it is enough to purchase a special glue and simply fix the chosen structure on a flat surface. Such decorative stucco on the ceiling is usually used in budget repair options. However, this price completely reflects the quality: fuzzy drawing, very fragile and brittle design. And even after installation, cheapness is immediately apparent.

Classic ceilings with stucco do not accept forgeries, and therefore only real gypsum is used for them. After the construction, the structure is very strong, it can be ground and finished. Here the maximum detail of the picture, a lot of small and well-marked details. Gypsum is relatively cheap material, but the work will cost a pretty penny. Work with plaster really high quality can only professionals in their field. With regard to durability, it is necessary to take into account the ability of the finished decor to eventually acquire a yellowish tinge. Moisture of gypsum also absorbs perfectly. As an alternative, you should think about the plaster molding on the ceiling of a special moisture-resistant material. And if you use a certain paint, then the decor can even be cleaned with a damp cloth. Ceiling stucco from polyurethane is one of the options when you can find a compromise. The material is not completely afraid of moisture, the design is not less detailed and after installation looks no worse than gypsum. A great advantage of the ceiling molding made of polyurethane is its ability to maintain its original appearance for a long time, on the surface there are no cracks. As a rule, it is the polyurethane stucco that is used on the stretch ceiling, since flexible and figured complex bends are not a problem for them.
