As you know, today there are a lot of decorative materials for finishing the ceilings, and the ceiling slabs of expanded polystyrene - one of the most common. This is an excellent option for those who want to refresh the room, but do not want to spend a lot of effort and fabulous amounts of money.
Someone will say that the ceiling tiles made of expanded polystyrene are not a very good option for decorating expensive interiors, it looks cheaper and shows a bad taste of the owners. But do not be so categorical, because any material in its place is always good. Therefore, choosing this type of ceiling finish, you should take into account all the subtleties of interior design, so that the tile was at the right time, and acted as a diamond in expensive frames, and not tasteless stucco. In addition, this material has a lot of positive qualities, which we will now talk about.
Types of ceiling tiles
The modern market offers our attention a wide selection of panels for finishing ceilings. This is a fairly budget, original, light and fireproof material for decorating the room. The plates are mounted very simply, without preliminary preparation of the surface, with the help of "liquid nails" or any glue that contains rubber. Ceiling panels easily hide any unevenness of the ceiling, without taking away the height of the room due to the small thickness. They are very easy to wash and paint.
There are several types of ceiling tiles made of expanded polystyrene:
- Expanded polystyrene pressed tiles are formed by stamping polystyrene by mechanical stamping. The thickness of one such sheet can reach about 6-8 mm.
- Extruded ceiling tile - is produced by extruding the material in the form of a strip through a certain hole. Such a tile has a characteristic reflection, it can imitate marble, linen stones, wood , etc.
- The injector plate is formed as a result of the filling of special forms with expanded polystyrene and subsequent baking. The thickness of this material reaches 9-14 mm, which makes it possible to create a deep relief pattern on the surface.
Many people are interested in the question, which ceiling tile is better ?. This question is very individual. Acquire such a cover in accordance with the style and design of the interior, otherwise the most expensive stove can look in the room ridiculously and poorly.
We choose a ceiling tile from expanded polystyrene
The most important indicators of quality material is the very structure of the tile. If the edges crumble and crumble, then you do not need to buy such a coating. Grain of expanded polystyrene should have the same value, otherwise you risk acquiring a material of questionable quality.
Also, before buying any type of ceiling panels made of expanded polystyrene, you can make a small test for strength. Take a plate for any angle, under the influence of its own weight, it should not break. If, it seems to you, that the material will now crack, it is better to refuse the purchase. Another indicator of good quality of the ceiling panels is the correct geometric shape. All angles of the ceiling tiles made of expanded polystyrene must be absolutely smooth - 90 °. Otherwise, when gluing the material to the ceiling, the plates simply will not work together properly.
Do not buy tiles with damage and dents. Even if the surface is embossed, and, it seems, then nothing will be seen, after gluing all the errors immediately give themselves away. The color of the ceiling panels made of expanded polystyrene should have an even tone and correspond to a simulating texture, otherwise after the gluing of a poor-quality coating the expected effect will not be.
