Ceiling made of plastic panels

Installation of ceiling panels can be carried out according to two schematic diagrams:

Suspended ceiling, which is equipped as a separate structure;
A standard plastic ceiling in which all elements are attached directly to the main ceiling surface.

Regardless of the chosen scheme, when installing plastic on the ceiling, you need to use moldings. These elements are finishing profiles that are necessary for masking the ends and joints of the structure. The choice of the type and size of moldings directly depends on the configuration of the future ceiling and the features of the room.

Suspended ceiling

Suspended ceiling structures are a fairly popular way of finishing the ceiling, which has a number of characteristic advantages and disadvantages. The main advantage of such structures is the absence of the need to prepare strobes for laying communications – and this is significant, because thanks to this, the installation of plastic panels on the ceiling is significantly simplified.

On the other hand, a suspended plastic ceiling always takes part of the free volume of the room. In the most successful scenario, such a ceiling will reduce the level of the room by 3 cm – but this is only if conventional lighting fixtures are installed. To install built-in lamps, the ceiling will have to be located at a distance of about 10 cm from the main level. The only way to reduce this distance is to use LED lamps, which, with sufficient quantity and power, can replace traditional lighting.
