Stretch and false ceiling in the bathroom

New or relatively new materials and technologies in the repair of living quarters are used more and more often and attract the interest of buyers and customers of repair work. Even relatively recently hinged and stretch ceilings were little used in home decor, preference was given to the widely known and proven years of finishes. There are several reasons for this. First, the traditional view of the usual things - the ceiling should be dyed or bleached. Secondly, the fear that the suspension or tension structure "will eat" the already insignificant height of modern premises. Thirdly, the apparent high cost of technological fashionable materials and the widespread opinion that they are suitable only for expensive luxury housing. However, all these arguments can easily be refuted, more detailed understanding of this issue.

Suspended ceiling in the bathroom, in fact, is the most suitable kind of finish for this room. It is hygienic, moisture-proof, durable and simply beautiful material that is easy to install, does not require preliminary repair of the main ceiling, is diverse in its color and graphic design, which opens up ample opportunities for creative experiments. In addition to the already suspended aluminum or mineral material suspension panels, the suspended ceiling in the bathroom can be made literally design. For example, use for its installation of matte glass modules, elements made in stained glass technology, or panels with photoprints with hidden under them lamps. Such a false ceiling in the bathroom will not only be a decorative element, but also a lighting device. Traditional aluminum ceiling is the most budgetary type of decoration, but despite the cheapness (the cost per square meter, on average, 250 rubles), it looks quite presentable. Plus it is also the ease of installation, having studied the instruction, with it a non-professional will cope.

Stretch ceilings in the bathroom - another suitable way to finish the ceiling in a damp room. The advantages of this material are many, not to mention the fact that it significantly facilitates the repair. It is durable, waterproof and resistant to mechanical damage finishing material, which has almost unlimited possibilities in terms of design and creative imagination.

How to choose a stretch ceiling?

Currently, there are many types of stretch ceilings, but three main types should be distinguished according to the material's texture. Classics lovers choose a matte texture that creates a very smooth, smooth and more traditional coating. In a small room of the bathroom, the most appropriate choice is a glossy or mirror cloth that perfectly reflects the light, thereby expanding the space and raising the ceiling. Satin fabric stretch ceiling creates a light silky coating, which looks particularly impressive in a gentle pastel color. In addition to the main three options, there are paintings that mimic the skin or completely absorb light due to velvety texture.

As for the manufacturers, in the first place among them is traditionally France - the inventor of this finishing material and the leader in its production. German materials are very good quality. Domestic suspended ceilings are made, as a rule, from imported materials on European equipment. Due to the fact that the production is carried out at Russian enterprises, the cost of domestic ceilings is lower than that of European ones, but their quality is quite in line with world standards.

The cost of stretch ceiling varies depending on its type and manufacturer. Mirror and glossy are more expensive than matte, expensive are also colored canvases, with patterns on them and photoprints. However, cash costs (on average from 600 to 1500 rubles per square meter) will pay off with the durability of the coating, which, unlike the painted or bleached surface, retains its beauty and pristine appearance for many years.

When installing a suspended or suspended ceiling in the bathroom, consider the location and type of the fixtures. The most suitable are built-in halogen lamps, or lamps manufactured, for example, by Ecola, which use energy-saving flat light bulbs, ideally suited for tension and suspended structures.
