Kitchen repair is a responsible procedure, in particular, this concerns the ceiling. After all, soot and steam when cooking are striving up. Yes, and temperature differences affect the strength of the surface not in the best way. Therefore, when finishing the ceiling, it is necessary not only to be guided by the appearance of the finishing material, but also proceed from the position of practicality.
Requirements for the ceiling
When choosing a finishing material for the ceiling, it is recommended to pay attention to the conditions in which it will be operated. Even with the presence of forced ventilation, you will not be able to completely avoid the occurrence of fat and soot when cooking on gas, as well as a pair of cooking. Over the slab, hot air flows are formed, which are sent to the ceiling. In addition, the kitchen is characterized by high humidity no less than for a bathroom, which is not only affected by the process of cooking, but also the presence of sink with sewage. The ceiling surfaces in the kitchen are put forward by such requirements: moisture resistance, easy care (washing capacity), wear resistance, disguise the irregularities of the ceiling and communications such as ventilation sleeves, electrical wiring, and environmental friendliness, financial availability, attractive appearance.
Plaster ceiling
The plastered ceiling is the classic of the genre, familiar to us from Soviet times, but the popularity of this type of finishing does not lose its positions and now. Hasive advantage is the use of environmentally friendly materials. In addition, the plaster along with the putty can eliminate any irregularities and defects of the ceiling surface, without reducing the space of the kitchen, as well as the hosts very attractive cheapness of this option. But to create a similar ceiling you need to have a lot of experience of plastering, and cleaning the surface does not give in. Therefore, to break the ceiling will have often. But this is not all: over time, the lime influxs are formed, which make the surface uneven, and there is already a need to remove whitewash together with some part of plaster and alignment of the ceiling.
Poly Penopolistrol tile
Ceiling plates have gained popularity not so long ago, for the most part due to good properties and low cost. When installing the material, there is no need to perfectly align the base, as the tile hides most of the defects and irregularities. Yes, and the procedure of stickers of the slab does not take away. The tile is moisture-resistant, the steam is not afraid and succumbed to washing. But at the same time, it is worth considering that the ceiling plates of white color are rapidly polluted and need constant care in the form of their cleaning. In addition, the variant of pasting ceiling by polystyrene tiles slowly, but confidently goes into the past.
Plastic panels
Material is practical and attractive. Today, there is a plastic lining of various models, textures and colors, which will make originality to the interior of the kitchen. PVC panels allow you to disguise engineering communications and equip the lighting system consisting of built-in luminaires. It is easy to care for such a surface - it is enough to wipe it with a wet rag, to remove the stains of fat and soot, and the water does not harm. In addition, the ceiling sound insulation is improved. When installing such panels, the framework must be made from metal products, and the wooden crate cannot be installed due to high humidity. Also, consider the complexity of the installation of PVC panels and the fact that the ceilings height will slightly decrease - about 5-15 centimeters.
Ceiling of plasterboard
The suspended ceiling of the drywall looks elegant and characterized by a mass of advantages over other types of finishes. Under it, various communications and wires are hidden. The suspension design hides all the irregularities, the differences and defects of the base and does not require their elimination. If you wish, you can recreate any designer solution, up to a three-level or "soaring" ceiling. Virtually any finishing finish surface, be it painting, sticking wallpaper or applying decorative plaster. However, the procedure for arranging such a design is complex and leads to a minor reduction in the height of the ceiling. And it is for the kitchen that the material is not very suitable: Most often, water paints are used as the finish finish of GKK, and in the event of a leakage from above, the ceiling will acquire an unclear view requiring re-painting; And temperature drops provoke cracks that occur in areas where shelves are joined.
Stretch cloth
Stretch ceiling is a modern method of cladding ceiling that can be used in the kitchen. From the point of view of beauty, this option is ideal. It is easy to care for the surface: it is washed with ordinary soapy water. With leaks, the tension cloth will hold a large volume of water and saves an apartment from flooding. Temperature drops are not scary material, they can provoke only its temporary sagging. But do not forget about the disadvantages of the coating: reduce the height of the ceiling in the room, accuracy during operation, as the damage to the panels in one place entails the complete replacement of the entire structure, the complexity of the ceiling installation and the need to use special equipment.
Painting ceiling
Staining the ceiling surface is possible only under the condition of even base. As a rule, it uses matte water-emulsion paint. The properties of the ceiling are similar to the characteristics of a white plastered surface, that's just a layer of water-producing is applied much thinner, so you will not notice the influx. For the application of paint it is better to use a roller, that the composition will go to the smooth.
Ceiling wallpaper
Naturally, for pasting ceiling in the kitchen it is worth using washable wallpapers, because the usual paper due to their hygroscopicity will lose an attractive look and its properties very quickly - after a couple of months. The option is popular thanks to a democratic price of the material and simplicity of the procedure. In addition, dense wallpaper will help hide small defects and irregularities present on the ceiling surface. But remember that it is better to buy a contrasting wallpaper to mask noticeable flaws, as a monophonic coating or a web with symmetrical elements needs ideal base alignment. Considering the fact that the washable wallpapers are heavy, after a couple of years they will be left even when using a high-quality adhesive composition, especially in places of hot air flows. And if it is formed to flow from the ceiling, then any wallpaper will be spoiled and hung with flap.
Thus, the choice of the option of the ceiling finishes remains yours, there is no single better ceiling for the kitchen, because this case is quite subjective.
