Kitchen and bathroom ceiling as part of the interior decoration, by everyone's attention. The reason why the kitchen and bathroom need ceiling, the first reason is because the original top surface will usually have water and sewage pipes, beams; later in the renovation will also increase the line as well as the exhaust pipe of the smoke machine and bath heater; then the ceiling bears the role of blocking the pipeline to make the space more neat and beautiful, commonly known as "cover ugly". Secondly, the ceiling is also part of the overall interior design, through different splicing or modeling, can match with other spaces, increase the kitchen and bathroom "face value", commonly known as "increase the beauty.

After understanding the functional role of the kitchen and bathroom ceiling, we next focus on the two main choices in the kitchen and bathroom ceiling, integrated ceiling and gypsum board ceiling advantages and disadvantages of each.

I, integrated ceiling

Integrated ceiling, also known as the whole ceiling, is the ceiling module and electrical module made into standard specifications can be combined module, installation, integrated together, simply put, integrated ceiling is a collection of panels and ancillary appliances collectively referred to. Usually we call "aluminum buckle plate", is the most basic part of the integrated ceiling.

1, the advantages of the integrated ceiling

The integrated ceiling is generally made of high-quality alloy materials, usually the surface should be painted, laminated, etc., so it is fire-resistant, moisture-proof, stain-resistant, and easy to take care of, which is suitable for the kitchen and bathroom with relatively small space or the southern region with large humidity. Another advantage is that it is very convenient to replace, adjust and overhaul.

2, so many styles of buckle plate, how to choose?

a. The integrated ceiling looks good or not mainly lies in the choice of buckle plate style, like modern minimalist style of decoration can choose two-color square buckle mismatch, for the clean kitchen and bathroom to increase the feeling of change. But because the kitchen and bathroom height in the package is usually not ideal, and generally poor lighting, so it is still recommended that the solid color of the buckle plate, so that as far as possible to attract the line of sight to the wall floor, weakening the impact of the height.

b. In the case of enough layer height is not depressing, the choice of patterned styles and with the overall environment will be a more appropriate choice of buckle plate.

c. A more personalized choice is the look and feel and size are more close to the real wood of the imitation wood grain strip buckle, which in addition to the original stain-resistant and waterproof integrated ceiling good. Integrated ceiling original stain-resistant waterproof good care of the advantages, in the aesthetic degree has also been greatly enhanced. However, because of the change to the strip buckle, surrounded by edging strip edging, in the late replacement of the adjustment will be a great inconvenience, the owners themselves is very difficult to operate independently, so good after-sales manufacturers is the first choice.

3, integrated ceiling construction should pay attention to what?

The installation of integrated ceiling is very convenient and fast, but in the specific choice, we tend to be obsessed with the color style of the buckle plate, but ignored the main keel, triangular keel and other inconspicuous auxiliary materials. Accessories are generally free from the manufacturer, but their advantages and disadvantages directly affect the durability of the integrated ceiling or not. So we are reminded to pay attention to the sturdiness or otherwise of the auxiliary materials at the same time as we buy the buckles.

Two, waterproof gypsum board ceiling

Waterproof gypsum board, refers to the gypsum core material to join the quantitative waterproofing agent, so that the gypsum itself has a certain degree of waterproof performance. In addition, gypsum board paper is also treated with waterproofing, so this is a better type of board with a wider range of uses, able to be used in areas with high humidity, such as bathrooms, shower rooms and kitchens.

1, waterproof gypsum board ceiling what are the advantages?

a. Because it is usually the same color as the latex paint on the top surface in spaces such as the living room, waterproof gypsum board ceiling is ideal for use in open kitchens.

b. Waterproof gypsum board ceiling has good toughness and cuttability, often according to the design to do some high and low, shaped shape, which is relatively mechanical integrated ceiling can not be compared with the advantages.?

c. In addition to the ceiling, you can also add gypsum lines to do edging and modeling, and after doing the same grass-roots treatment and topcoat painting, the gypsum lines can also achieve the effect of waterproofing, and the overall look will also be more beautiful.

2. What should I pay attention to in the construction of waterproof plasterboard ceiling?

a. Waterproof gypsum board in the specific construction process, first of all, carpentry according to the site conditions to build light steel keel skeleton, followed by the installation of waterproof gypsum board, board joints and corner joints and grass-roots level must be treated with waterproof putty, and finally the paint must be used to paint the exterior or waterproof coatings for painting. Only to complete this construction process to ensure that the ceiling has good waterproof stain resistance.

b. The production cost is often higher than normal integrated ceiling because the full set of construction process of waterproof gypsum board is more demanding. Another disadvantage lies in the fact that due to the overall sealing board after painting, so the pre-marking must be determined in the ceiling in the position of the lights and appliances, after the construction is completed can not be shifted and adjusted, in addition, such as the smoke machine also need to be reserved ahead of time access ports, to facilitate the maintenance of the later period.?

c.? Now wet and dry zoning is becoming more and more popular, leaving aside the wet area of the ceiling choice, dry area is also usually recommended practical waterproof gypsum board ceiling, so that the area is divided into more clear, after the shower with the door open to run out of moisture will not have an impact on the ceiling.

*Special reminder: waterproof gypsum board is resistant to water vapor can not carry leakage. Because the back of the sheet is not painted waterproof paint, and after the installation of gypsum board, a small amount of water leakage on the top surface is difficult to find, after the long-term accumulation of moisture soaking, will lead to waterproof gypsum board chalking. So construction not only to do a good job of their own waterproofing, but also need to check the waterproofing of the upstairs tenants, so as to avoid leakage caused by neighborhood conflicts.
