Ceiling systems: everything you need to know about modern systems

The modern apartments are composed of many details. A catalog from leading manufacturers of attributes for the home is sometimes simply shocking with its variety and wide possibilities for implementing the most incredible ideas. The ceiling has long ceased to be positioned as one of the working surfaces in the decoration of the room. Now a completely different format is relevant - ceiling systems. Our review will allow you to become more familiar with the finishing materials and other elements to create advanced designs.

Types of ceiling systems in functionality

False ceiling - a system consisting of a reliable frame and parts, forming the main canvas. As modular systems use different materials by type, texture, origin. According to the functional purpose, the experts will single out the following types of systems:
  • Suspended technological systems (economy light), which are distinguished by special efficiency and minimal energy consumption. Most often used for landscaping spacious rooms in entertainment centers and administrative institutions;
  • Functional tiled compositions that combine the highest technological standards. Use systems in rooms to which increased demands are made. Parameters can be very different: acoustics, hygiene, resistance to moisture, mechanical damage, chemical "attacks";
  • Design ceilings are luxurious compositions with a special aesthetic content. Designer refinements are most often necessary for the refinement of modern residential apartments. However, systems with increased aesthetic value can complement the exclusive interior of various entertainment venues (restaurants, clubs, cafes).
Each type of ceiling system in the modern market can be of varying degrees of complexity. The price of the structure, which will turn out in the end, depends on this, respectively.

Ceiling systems by type of material

All systems are conventionally divided into tile and rack structures, depending on what type of filler for the frame was chosen. A potential buyer decides which format is most suitable for him. However, comparisons deserve not so much structural elements as the materials themselves from which they are made. Ceiling systems according to the type of materials are divided into the following types:
  • Gypsum plasterboard;
  • Wooden systems;
  • From the lining;
  • Laminate sheets;
  • Plastic panels;
  • Siding canvas;
  • Coffered;
  • Fabric;
  • Glass.
Each view is attractive in its own way. Sophisticated designs allow you to completely hide any flaws in ceiling surfaces, and sometimes even the layout of the room. In addition, the choice of material largely affects the ability to profitably present one or another style in the interior.

Ceiling systems: attention to detail

Ceiling systems are not only a framework and placeholders, but also a mass of various auxiliary components. Their task is to make ceiling structures functional, aesthetically attractive, exclusive and unusual. The following options are possible:
  • Acoustic components;
  • Cooker hood;
  • Cornice (curtains, pears);
  • Hatches and similar elements;
  • Ceiling drying attributes;
  • Ceiling mounted heaters.
Also, in the decoration of ceiling elements, often use curbs and skirting boards mounted to systems in various positions. Various decorative elements are widely used, for example, imitating stucco moldings.

Types of ceiling systems by type of repair work

In order for ceiling systems to fulfill the missions assigned to them, it is important to take care of a number of nuances during the repair phase. Considering systems for the improvement of the ceiling, experts identify the following components:
  • Special tools for processing paintings that protect the material from "biological attacks" (impregnation against mold, fungus, other microorganisms);
  • Waterproofing;
  • Vapor barrier;
  • Thermal insulation;
  • Soundproofing;
  • Primer;
  • Web alignment (closing holes, strengthening the web, eliminating cracks and gaps);
  • Fire fighting systems and other specific devices.
All these repair devices and construction algorithms are necessary, first of all, in order to make the room as comfortable as possible for living (eliminating extraneous sounds, protection from the cold). Impregnation and processing of sheets will help extend the operational life of the systems. Ceiling systems are modern thoughtful options to make each person’s apartment comfortable and safe. There is no reason to deny yourself comfort and aesthetics.
