We will not weary the reader with a detailed description of all available products in the relevant market.Instead, we offer to reflect together on what and in what cases it is better to stop the choice on the kitchen ceiling.What

consider

• Material intermediate floors.But this is true only for private homes as well as the high-rise buildings in this plate w / w.
• kitchen equipment.It is taken into account the type of ventilation (forced or natural), its effectiveness.
• Features of use of the premises.After all, someone is preparing a case-by-case, and in some families the hostess is practically not moving away from the plate, therefore, the kitchen is constantly hot and humid.
• Difficulty finishing the ceiling, which is largely reflected in the total cost of works in case of involvement of professionals.After all, his "process" is much harder than the floor or wall.
• required amount of work to care for the surface and the frequency of its maintenance.

consider all methods and materials for finishing the ceiling in terms of the appropriateness of their use.

Plaster

• Such work is always accompanied by dirt and dust, so if it is not the primary finishing and repair already operating room, you will have or make all, or gently closing.
• big effort.After plastering - a range of activities: pre-equalization, priming, installation of reinforcing mesh.Time it takes a lot.

Wallpaper for painting

In principle, everything is characterized by staining refers to this process finishes.Also, do not have to deal with small cracks, and will cost a bit cheaper option last.

• main advantage - the possibility of a different "finish" finish (paint, wallpaper, fabric, decorative plaster).

«Against»

«Against»

• high cost.

• Since the work is used special equipment, self-installation is not possible.

We have considered only the basic ways of finishing and materials, although they are much more.The same panel can not only be made of polyvinylchloride, but also from metals, glass, wood.The main thing is to have clear criteria by which to assess one or another variant of the ceiling lining.

Note

Some sources indicated that if the ceiling is finished with the kitchen in a city apartment, the choice of materials is limited in comparison with the private home.Separate spetsialisty- "consultants" in the outlets of the same opinion.The argument - perhaps "flooding" the neighbors from the top, the roof leaks (for the top floors), so you need to pay special attention to water resistance finish.How serious is it?
