Design options for ceilings in the apartment
The main role in choosing the finishing material for the ceiling surface is played by the room itself.
She may be:
- Living room.
- The bedroom.
- The kitchen.
- The bathroom or a bathroom.
Note. The ceiling coating in each of these areas of the apartment must have its own design, since some materials cannot be used for decoration of rooms with high humidity.
In the living room are often used:
- Stretch ceilings (fabric or film).
- Plastered, glued or painted surfaces.
The lining of the ceiling of the kitchen can be:
- Plastic panels.
- Siding.
- Stretched PVC cloth.
- Using plaster or paint.
Facing the ceiling in the bathroom is performed:
- Ceramic tiles.
- Plastic.
- Siding.
Tip. For rooms in which there is high humidity and a constantly changing temperature regime, it is necessary to use only moisture-resistant finishing materials for the ceiling surface.
The practicality of the coating is also worth considering. It should be free to clean and its surface will not have to absorb dirt.
What can be rough ceiling surfaces
At the moment, modern construction technologies make it possible to make a rough ceiling of wood or concrete. Finishing methods for these surfaces may vary.
Finishing wooden ceiling surfaces:
- Facing wooden ceilings is not a big deal. Basically, all surfaces of the ceiling of this type already come with a certain design - carving or polishing, and in order to give them an aesthetic appearance they simply paint them or varnish.
Tip. If it is necessary to change the shade of wood on the ceiling, you can use a special shading agent that processes the surface before varnishing.
If the boards are not processed beams, then you already have to think about the finish.
On a wooden surface, you can apply any design method:
- Plastic.
- Wooden lining.
- Stretch ceiling.
Plaster on such a surface is used if drywall is previously mounted on it.
Tip. In order to qualitatively fix the finishing material on the ceiling, it is worth considering that most of the suitable design options are mounted on special frames.
Ceiling finish plastic
Why in most cases for registration ceiling in the kitchen or a plastic clapboard is used in the bathroom? This is due to the fact that the material is moisture resistant and very practical, dirt will not collect on its surface.
Tip. If there are visible impurities on the plastic, then cleaning them with abrasive products is not necessary, as they can damage the surface of the material. It is best to use gel-based detergents.
Characteristics:
- Plastic is pretty quick and easy to install. You can do all the work yourself.
This material has a wide variety of shades.There are also imitations of brick or masonry.
You can also find drawings on plastic, which are folded by mounting individual panels. - Lining made of plastic withstands high and low temperatures. Their differences are also not the cause of the deformation of the structure of the material. The surface itself can be matte or glossy.
Tip. In the kitchen area, do not use plastic with a glossy surface, as grease stains will be immediately visible on it. With a dull surface, this is quite rare.
- The material has various sizes. There is a suture and seamless plastic. The price for each of these types is different and the most expensive is considered a seamless type of plastic.
- The durability of the material is ensured by the density of the structure and the protective layer of the surface, which does not respond to chemical influences. The term of use of such material is at least 15 years.
Plastic is a universal material that can be used for both indoor and outdoor use.
Installation of plastic lining
Ceiling cladding in the kitchen with plastic does not require specific surface preparation. It will be enough just to check it for defects, such as the stucco of plaster or paint.
So:
- If this is not done, then subsequently poorly secured material may pour on the back side of the material from the previous design and thereby create an additional load on the plastic.
- There is the possibility of sagging and deformation of the plastic lining due to delamination of the plaster.
- To install a plastic lining, you will definitely need to build a wooden crate. It is made of planks of the same size.
Tip. To save time and insulate the ceiling, all work of this type is carried out simultaneously with the installation of a plastic lining.
Used for this light insulation:
- Polyurethane foam.
- Styrofoam.
- Extruded polystyrene foam.
The size of the sheets of such materials should correspond to the size of the cells of the wooden crate, they must be tightly inserted into them.
Tip. If it is not possible to firmly insert the material, then you can backside it, which is directly mounted on the draft ceiling, grease with special glue or liquid nails.
Also for the crate you will need:
- Building level.
- Rotary hammer and screwdriver.
- Dowels and screws.
- Jigsaw for cutting the size of planks.
For the installation of the plastic itself there is a special instruction, which, as a rule, is indicated on the packaging, for work you will need:
- Starting strips for installation of material.
- Construction stapler.
- Self-tapping screws and screwdriver.
- Grinder for cutting material.
- Sealant.
Tip. For greater tightness, each joint of the plastic lining is treated with a sealant. Especially in the bathroom or kitchen area.
The options for decorating the plastic lining of the ceiling surface are quite diverse.
Ceramic tile for ceiling decoration
Most often, the tiling of the ceiling is used in the bathroom or bathroom. This is due to the fact that the walls of such rooms are also exposed to ceramic tiles.
Tile:
- It is very durable and for the floor surface has its own specific look - granite.
- Practical, as its surface does not absorb dirt and can be cleaned using any detergents.
- Moisture-resistant, as it does not perceive exposure to a humid environment.
- Wear-resistant, throughout the entire period of operation of the material, it does not change its design.
- Resistant to temperature changes and tolerates low and high temperatures.
- It is worth noting that ceramic tile does not burn and does not melt. It has a wide range of surface finishes.
Such material may have:
- Matt
- Smooth.
- Structural.
- Glossy.
- Embossed.
So:
- There are various sizes of such material, starting from 10x10 mm and ending with slabs 30x60 cm, 60x60 cm. That is, for the original design it will be quite simple to choose the type of tile.
Tip. When buying ceramic tiles of any size, you should carefully evaluate its condition. The corners of the material should be in the same plane as the main part, as well as the structure of the ceramic tile must be holistic.
It is best to buy a tile from one batch, since if this does not work out, the colors and appearance of the tile may vary slightly.
Installation of ceramic tiles
Facing the bathroom ceiling using tiles requires quality surface preparation. It includes leveling and priming.
In order to level the surface, drywall or plaster is used.
Tip. If gypsum plasterboard is used in such works, then it should be moisture resistant, since in a room of this type there is always high humidity.
So:
- Drywall is mounted on a special frame, and this method of alignment is fast. After him there is not much construction waste left.
- This can not be said about plaster, as it uses two types of funds: "Start" and "Finish".
For such work you will need:
- Capacity for mixing plaster mortar.
- Putty knife for its application (two - large and small).
- Building level.
What you need to provide:
- Starting layers are applied immediately to the surface and only after they have dried are the finishing layers. Each tool requires sanding.
Tip. The surface of both drywall and plaster must be passed with a grout for a larger bundle of adhesive for installing ceramic tiles.
To install the tile you will need:
- Special glue or concrete mortar, which is made independently.
- Capacity for mixing means.
- A spatula or trowel for applying the solution to the back of the material.
- Construction level for exhibiting each finishing element and its subsequent fixing.
- Cross shaped beacons, with the help of which an even distance between each tile is ensured.
- Decorative putty to mask each seam finish.
The process is not too complicated and so that there are no issues with the installation of tiles on the ceiling surface, you can watch the video.
