Ceilings in the bathroom

I think that each of us, making repairs in the apartment, wants the result not only to please the beauty, cleanliness and modern look, but also was quality and durable. Considering the high cost of construction and finishing works and materials, starting all over again in 5-6 years is not a very pleasant prospect.

Bathroom - a special room in the apartment, because it performs not only hygienic functions. It is very important for lovers to lie in the bathroom and relax, and often serves as a room for emotional relaxation and physical relief. In addition, we should not forget about the economic purpose of the bathroom, here, as a rule, we wash and dry clothes. In accordance with the specifics of this room, you need to select the finishing materials for its repair. The main criteria for choosing, of course, should be beauty, hygiene, environmental safety, durability and, of course, moisture resistance. As for the walls and the floor, nothing better than the tile has yet been invented and, perhaps, the only difficulty is to make the right choice with the infinite variety of shapes, colors and decor that are presented in the shops. With the ceiling the situation is much more complicated. Ceilings in the bathroom require a special relationship, and finishing them - a serious matter, because not all modern materials designed for ceilings, suitable for this room.

The most simple and inexpensive way is to cover with waterproof paint. However, the cheapness of this finish is its only advantage. Colored ceiling is short-lived, because under the influence of moisture, temperature drops, it gradually loses its aesthetic properties, turns yellow, divorce appears on it. In addition, such a ceiling does not protect against leaks from the upper floors, which, unfortunately, in the bathrooms is quite common.

Specialists-builders and designers distinguish three most practical, long-lasting and beautiful ways of decorating the ceiling in the bathroom - rack and cassette pendant and tension.

Suspended ceilings in the bathroom

This type of ceiling is a lattice design that is specially fixed to the native ceiling and is decorated with decorative lightweight and durable panels that do not deform, withstand any temperature changes and 100% humidity in the room. For bathrooms use cassette and rack ceilings.

The design of cassette ceilings consists of transverse and horizontal guides, adjustable suspension brackets (with which these guides are attached to the ceiling), wall corners and square or rectangular panel-cassettes. The ceilings in the bathroom are made of aluminum or galvanized steel cassettes, painted in different colors by spraying. Cassette ceilings are installed quickly and simply, and "fantasy" and the wide possibilities of modular technology, offering a variety of color combinations and design options, will help to "escape" from the office standard.

Reechnye ceilings for the bathroom - a suspension structure, consisting of densely docked with each other metal rails, which can be deaf or perforated. The second option is more preferable for the bathroom, as it promotes better air circulation.

Suspended ceilings in the bathroom have excellent operational properties, they are durable, environmentally friendly, hygienic, moisture resistant, and also easy to clean, rust free, in addition, simply mounted, and in case of damage to one of its elements it is very simple to replace.

Stretch ceilings in the bathroom

Very popular and trendy now stretch ceilings - also an excellent option for finishing the bathroom. In addition to a rich choice of colors and textures (they can be glossy, matt, lacquered, velvet, with different color prints), this type of ceilings is very durable and durable, and also perfectly protects against leaks from the upper floors. The ceiling design is made in such a way that the water is collected in it, as in a bag, and it is easy to drain through the hole for the luminaire, after which the stretch ceiling completely restores its technical and aesthetic properties.

All of the above types of ceilings for bathrooms have another important property. Their installation does not require prior equalization and plastering of the "native" ceiling, which significantly reduces the time and costs of repairs, in addition, in these constructions, spotlights are easily mounted, and the electrical wires are simply retracted under the panels.
