Usually the ceiling materials for kitchen decoration are PVC board, calcium silicate board, aluminum board, paint, glass and so on. How to choose these materials? The following small series will explain it in detail.
1, PVC board
The so-called PVC board generally refers to the board made of plastic or resin. PVC board needs to be constructed with light steel skeleton, and lamps are embedded in the board, which has both modeling and lighting effect. This design method is often used for glass. The biggest disadvantage of PVC board is that it will deform when heated for a long time, so it is advisable to use low-heat fluorescent lamps inside. In addition, the price of photovoltaic gusset plate is relatively low, about 50 yuan per square meter.
2, calcium silicate board
Calcium silicate board is the most popular kitchen ceiling material for designers. First, because it is a fireproof building material, and second, because the kitchen space is larger than the decoration space, too much decoration is redundant. Quite a few families use this material.
3. Aluminum version
Although the aluminum plate itself is made of metal, the surface will be coated with foundation, and the smooth surface may be foggy and not smooth enough after rubbing. Moreover, the aluminum plate has tongue-and-groove joints, and there will be grease deposition, which is what consumers should pay attention to. In the cleaning method, it is suggested to dip a wet cloth in neutral detergent to avoid using scouring pad to avoid damaging the surface of the plate. However, aluminum plate has good fireproof and moisture-proof performance, so public space is often used. The price of domestic aluminum gusset plate is about 100 yuan, and the import price is about 300 yuan, including installation and accessories.
Step 4 coat
Compared with other materials, paint is a low-cost choice. Even if the wall fades or accumulates oil after a period of time, as long as it is repainted, the situation can be improved immediately. Smooth topcoat is easy to clean, but it will cause visual discomfort because of light refraction at some angles, so it is not recommended to choose it. As for plain paint, although there is no refraction problem, it may be difficult to clean oil stains. It is best to choose a paint that is resistant to brushing, or repaint it every few years.
5. Glass
The glass material is transparent and easy to clean. Even if the oil fume drifts upward, it can be wiped clean with a dry cloth. Glass can be divided into frosted glass and colored glass (including mosaic and painting), but when using it, we must pay attention to the smooth side down, otherwise it will not only be easy to clean, but also the lampblack will destroy the painting effect. As for stained glass, the biggest feature is to increase the visual aesthetic feeling, and the price is calculated according to the thickness and edging form respectively.
This is the end of the choice of ceiling materials. We should know fairly well about the choice of ceiling materials, and choose the materials we need according to our own timing to give our kitchen a satisfactory effect.
