Types of ceilings: standard solutions and a modern approach

The ceiling is a particularly important element that affects the perception of space in any room. Too much depends on its main parameters and key characteristics to be dismissive of this segment of the room. A brief overview of all the possible types of ceiling structures and finishes will make the right choice in the future.

Basic classification: simple options

You can divide all types of ceilings into two global categories: these are mounted structures and traditional finishing methods, involving the application of certain materials on the work surface. Consider the main types of ceilings applied to the base:
  • Whitewashing the ceiling (the easiest and oldest way to decorate the ceiling, gradually losing its popularity);
  • Painting the ceiling (an inexpensive and simple method to transform the canvas);
  • Wallpapering the ceiling (such options are distinguished by a particularly long service life, a wide selection of design solutions, a high degree of aesthetics);
  • Decoration with tiles and similar elements (adhesive tiles allow you to give the ceiling any texture: from simulating wood carvings to various original patterns like stucco moldings).
Almost all types of ceilings with the application of finishing materials are easy to care for and for a long time retain their original appearance. If the condition of the ceiling does not require the use of any materials to correct or restore the surface, the design will be very cheap.

Suspended structures

False ceiling - an excellent option to hide the defects of the primary canvas, as well as create the necessary communications. Suspended structures can be decorated in any color, simulate the texture, texture, and differ in an extremely complex configuration. Types of suspended ceilings by the type of materials from which they are made:
  • Drywall;
  • Cassette designs;
  • Mirror ceilings;
  • Hemming elements;
  • Rack constructions;
  • Stretch ceiling.
Each type of ceiling structure has its own set of positive qualities. As a rule, the choice of one or another option depends on the features of the layout (in particular, on the height of the ceilings themselves), the condition of work surfaces, stylistic and design compositions, which in the end will be formed on the basis of the design you like.

Types of suspended cassette ceilings

Cassette ceiling - a metal structure formed by their diverse cassettes. Potential buyers can choose the product in any color, as well as find the original texture. The catalog of such products may consist of the following types of cassettes:
  • Aluminum;
  • Steel;
  • Mirrored
  • Mineral
  • Polycarbonate;
  • Wooden.
Cassettes can be installed in the bathroom. They are not afraid of moisture. An exception is only untreated wooden elements. Compared to other types of ceiling structures, the cassette ceiling is convenient to care for. It looks stylish and modern in any interior.

Types of Plasterboard Ceiling Structures

All drywall constructions are mounted to galvanized steel frames. It is recommended to use structures of any type and shape only in high rooms. It makes no sense to classify drywall as a material, but ceiling structures based on it can be. Since the material is quite convenient to work with, it creates a variety of forms of ceilings:
  • Arch;
  • Dome;
  • Single-level;
  • Multi-level;
  • Custom shape.
Beautiful design and complex configuration, as a rule, complement the original backlight. It is drywall constructions that are extremely popular. A pleasant price and the opportunity to experiment is an ideal combination for a potential buyer.

Mirror ceilings

Mirrored ceilings are called one of the variations on the theme of cassette designs for the ceiling. Instead of metal panels, it is mirror mirrors that are used. All mirrored ceiling structures are conventionally divided into the following categories:
  • Furniture ceilings (play a purely decorative role, cover defects on the ceiling surface, made in golden or chrome colors);
  • Faceted ceilings (the most attractive option from all existing ones, structures are quickly assembled, but it is impossible to dismantle individual fragments after installation);
  • Armstrong ceilings (T-shaped suspension system, in which ceiling plates are mounted from the inside).
Mirror ceilings are diverse in color and stylistic concepts. Regardless of the shape and size of the plates, the interior with a mirrored ceiling looks very elegant and rich.
