The bathroom is an important part of the apartment, therefore it is necessary to approach the selection of finishing materials very responsibly. And if for the decoration of the floor and walls, ceramic tiles are most often used here, the issue of finishing the ceiling remains open for a long time. Currently, the bathroom is increasingly installed stretch ceiling, but still it can not be called the leader among the finishing materials. Why? The fact is that this is a relatively new type of ceiling covering, which has not yet managed to gain people's trust. To make the final decision in favor of stretch ceilings in the bathroom you need to learn their pros and cons.
Advantages of PVC film
To make the ceiling, a dense vinyl film is used. During installation, it is heated with special guns, so it stretches and easily refills in the pre-mounted profile. The fixing of the film takes several hours, and the roughing work is practically absent. After installation you can already enjoy a beautiful glossy ceiling and you do not have to wash the bathroom from dust, cement or paint. In addition, the visual effect of such a ceiling will be much more interesting in comparison with gypsum plasterboard structures - the gloss will create a mirror image, capable of visually expanding the room. If you want, you can also order a ceiling with photo printing , the effect of the cloudy sky or even create a multi-level design.
In addition to these properties, PVC ceilings have a number of important advantages, namely:
- repel the dust;
- durable;
- do not give in to burning;
- antiallergenic;
- in style combined with tiles, porcelain stoneware, shiny mixers and sanitary faience;
- during bathing they do not form condensation;
- visually expand a small room;
- hide internal communications (wires, pipes, bumps);
- in them it is possible to build in fixtures or to organize the latent LED illumination;
- in case of overflowing the film will not allow water to enter the bathroom and the accumulated liquid can be drained through a special hole.
The drawbacks in the bathroom
Despite the apparent elasticity, the film is quite brittle and easily damaged by sharp objects. After damage to the ceiling, it is necessary to apply a patch that will damage the appearance of the gloss. In addition, the price of vinyl is higher compared with plasterboard or plastic panels.
