Don't know what to do with the ceiling in the bathroom? In our material today, we offer you 5 finishing options, with pros and cons for each. Choose!
We think a lot about the walls of the bathroom, aboutstorage system, about the bathtub and faucets. We choose them carefully and for a long time. And what about the ceilings? We think about them last of all and, exhausted, we give preference to the simplest and most understandable option for us - whitewashing. But there are a great many ways to "master" these areas. Plastering and painting
It's cheap but labor intensive.You can do all the work on leveling the ceiling yourself, but it can take a lot of time and effort. Painting will also serve you well only if you choose the right shade or pattern. However, if everything comes together, a cheap, beautiful and even ceiling in the bathroom will become your pride.
Styrofoam tiles
The main advantage of this material is its simplicityuse. It's a piece of cake to stick tiles that will hide most of the minor irregularities of the ceiling. However, if the glue fails, the trim may fall softly on your head at the most unexpected moment.
Cork Fighters for the eco-friendliness of finishing materialsmaterials can safely stop at this point and not even try to look further. You have found your ideal - cork is natural, moisture- and fire-resistant, antistatic and durable. There are many options for cork covering now - wallpaper, rolls, and panels. Installation is quite simple, and the aesthetic value is undeniable. However, if you decide to radically change the interior, the ceiling will most likely have to be redone too. Editorial opinion Foremen frankly do not like cork - it is not always clear how it will behave in the bathroom. However, in our opinion, this material is ideal for bathrooms. The only thing worth paying attention to is the method of mounting the lamps: it is better not to cut them in, but to make them overhead. In other words, if you want cork on the ceiling - look for those who have worked with it.
Stretch ceiling
Beautiful, expensive, but rather boring.Specialists will help you stretch plastic or special fabric, which will provide excellent waterproofing for your bathtub. They will also install lamps - fortunately, the capabilities of stretch ceilings allow you to connect almost any lamps, and they reduce the height by only three centimeters. This option is far from budgetary and practically nullifies your creative impulses. In other words, you cannot “paint” or decorate a stretch ceiling. Editorial opinion It is believed that the easiest way to install lamps is not in stretch ceilings, but in suspended ceilings, since there you can do it almost at any time and in any place. But if you agree on the location of the electrics in advance and make fixed holes for the lamps, then there should be no difficulties in working with stretch ceilings.
Suspended ceiling
The best choice for those looking for beauty and solidity ineverything. The possibilities of this option are as wide as no other. Here you have the opportunity to install not only lamps, but also backlighting with stained glass inserts, use the widest list of materials, including aluminum and clapboard, implement the most daring design ideas and simply turn the ceiling into a masterpiece. There are only two obvious disadvantages of such an enterprise - the cost and the level of lowering the ceiling by almost 15 centimeters. However, not all the disadvantages are obvious. Editorial opinion So, after all, a suspended or stretch ceiling? According to the testimony of foremen who dismantled building structures in plumbing cabins, in the space between the suspended and actual ceiling, due to condensation over the years of operation, a more than noticeable amount of mucus accumulates. But specialists in stretch ceilings assure that with their designs such problems do not arise due to the presence of ventilation holes.
