After understanding the function of kitchen and bathroom ceiling, we will focus on the advantages and disadvantages of two main choices in kitchen and bathroom ceiling, integrated ceiling and gypsum board ceiling.
I. Integrated ceiling
Integrated ceiling is also called integral ceiling, which is to make the ceiling module and electrical module into modular modules with standard specifications and integrate them when installing. Simply put, the integrated ceiling is a collection of gusset plates and auxiliary appliances. What we usually call "aluminum gusset plate" is the most basic component of integrated ceiling.
1, advantages of integrated ceiling
The integrated ceiling is generally made of high-quality alloy materials, and the surface usually needs to be coated with paint, so it is fireproof, moisture-proof, dirt-resistant, and easy to take care of, and is more suitable for kitchens and bathrooms with relatively small space or southern areas with high humidity. Another advantage is that it is very convenient for later replacement, adjustment and maintenance.

2. There are so many styles of gusset plates, how to choose them?
A. Whether the integrated ceiling looks good or not mainly depends on the choice of gusset style. Modern minimalist style decoration, you can choose the misspelled two-color square buckle to add a sense of change to the plain kitchen and bathroom. However, because the height of the kitchen and bathroom floor is usually not ideal after the guarantee, and the general lighting is not good, it is recommended to use a solid color gusset plate, which can attract attention to the wall floor as much as possible and weaken the influence of height.
B. If the story height is high enough not to be depressed, it will be a more appropriate choice to choose a gusset plate with patterns and matching the overall environment. ?
C. A more personalized choice is the imitation wood grain buckle with the appearance and feel closer to the solid wood material. Besides? The integrated ceiling has the advantages of anti-pollution, waterproof and easy care, and the aesthetics has also been greatly improved. However, because it is changed to buttons and there are wrapping strips around it, it will be inconvenient to change and adjust later, and it is difficult for the owner to operate independently, so the manufacturer with good after-sales service is preferred.
3. What should I pay attention to in integrated ceiling construction?
The installation of integrated ceiling is very convenient and quick, but in the specific choice, people often struggle with the design and style of gusset plate, while ignoring the humble accessories such as main keel and triangular keel. Accessories are generally given away by manufacturers for free, but their advantages and disadvantages directly affect the durability of integrated ceiling. So remind everyone to pay attention to the firmness of supporting accessories when purchasing pinch plates.
Second, waterproof gypsum board ceiling
Waterproof gypsum board refers to adding a certain amount of waterproof agent into gypsum core material to make gypsum itself have certain waterproof performance. In addition, gypsum board paper is waterproof, so it is a better board, which is more widely used and can be used in areas with high humidity, such as bathrooms, bathrooms, kitchens and so on.
1. What are the advantages of waterproof gypsum board ceiling? ?
A. Because it is usually the same color as the latex paint at the top of the living room and other spaces, the waterproof gypsum board ceiling is very suitable for use in the open kitchen.
B. Waterproof gypsum board ceiling has good toughness and strong machinability, and can often be made into some rugged and irregular shapes according to design, which is incomparable to mechanical integrated ceiling. ?
C. In addition to the ceiling, plaster lines can be added for edging and modeling. After the same basic treatment and topcoat painting, the gypsum line can completely achieve waterproof effect, and the overall appearance will be more beautiful. ?
2. What should I pay attention to in the construction of waterproof gypsum board ceiling?
A. In the concrete construction process of waterproof gypsum board, firstly, carpenters build light steel keel skeleton according to the site conditions, and then install waterproof gypsum board. The joints and corner joints and the base must be treated with waterproof putty. Finally, the paint must also be coated with exterior wall paint or waterproof paint. Only by completing this construction process can the ceiling be guaranteed to have good waterproof and anti-pollution ability. ?
B. Because the whole construction process of waterproof gypsum board requires high requirements, the production cost is often higher than that of ordinary integrated ceiling. Another disadvantage is that due to the painting after the whole board is sealed, it is necessary to determine the position of lamps and appliances in the ceiling in the early stage, and it cannot be shifted and adjusted after the construction is completed. In addition, for example, the range hood needs to reserve a maintenance port in advance to facilitate later maintenance. ?
c.？ Now dry and wet zoning is becoming more and more popular. Regardless of the suspended ceiling in wet areas, practical waterproof gypsum board suspended ceiling is usually recommended in dry areas, so that the division of areas is clearer, and moisture will not affect the suspended ceiling after opening the door after shower.
* Special reminder: Waterproof gypsum board can resist water vapor and can't leak with water. Because the back of the board is not coated with waterproof paint, and after the gypsum board is installed, it is difficult to find a small amount of water leakage on the top surface. After long-term accumulation and soaking of water, the waterproof gypsum board will be pulverized. Therefore, in the construction, we should not only do our own waterproof work, but also check the waterproof situation of the upstairs residents to avoid neighborhood conflicts caused by water leakage.
