What is the best ceiling for the bathroom. I tell you that an experienced master advised me in this matter.
When carrying out repair work in the bathroom, the question inevitably arises: “What is the best ceiling?»
After all, you want it to be beautiful, modern, reliable and not too expensive.
And given a number of features of this room such as, high humidity and constant temperature drops, the choice must be approached even more carefully.
Today, several options for finishing ceilings in the bathroom are popular.
But which one is better? Consider below.
Initially, when solving the issue of finishing the ceiling in the bathroom, it seemed to me, like many, a good decision to choose as a finishing material plastic PVC panels.
Of course, attracted by the rather low price, ease of installation and moisture resistance of the coating.
And such a ceiling looks pretty, they do not require special care. It is enough to wipe the ceiling with a damp cloth.
But, as it turned out, such a ceiling there are several major drawbacks.
A master who has been installing ceilings for many years told me about them.
- At first , some PVC panels (apparently the cheapest) begin to turn yellow over time and the ceiling acquires a non-aesthetic appearance.
- Secondly, quite often, with poor ventilation in the bathroom, fungus forms in the seams between the panels. It is almost impossible to remove it from there.
- Thirdly, due to high humidity, the metal profile of the frame may begin to rust.
- Fourth, the ceiling made of PVC panels is not as cheap as it seems. Indeed, in addition to the panels, you will also have to buy materials for mounting the frame.
Weighing all the pros and cons decided to refuse from finishing the ceiling with PVC panels.
Therefore, I drew attention to another popular finishing option - stretch ceiling.
Initially I didn'tconsidered because of the fairly high price and the lack of the ability to do everything yourself.
And as it turned out in vain.
Besides moisture resistance, ease of care, a rich palette of colors and textures, only this kind of ceiling has one big advantage before the rest.
It is able to withstand large volumes of water (stretching) and, in the event of a utility emergency, will protect the premises from flooding.
It was this type of ceiling that an experienced master recommended to me as the best option for finishing the ceiling in the bathroom.
