Ceiling tiles from foam plastic

Perhaps, one of the simplest and cheapest ways of finishing the ceiling is to cover it with ceiling foam plates. This method does not require such complex preparatory measures as the installation of a frame. This greatly reduces the costs and time for repair work. Decorative material is such that you get a completely transformed interior, the general appearance of the room is changing for the better.

What is a foam board?

According to the principle of manufacturing, this building material can be divided into three main types:

Let's take a closer look at the types of ceiling tiles:

  1. Pressed tiles . They are made not thicker than 7 mm. The method of production of this tile resembles the usual stamping, which makes it possible to greatly reduce the cost of production. But its structure is relatively loose, brittle, it absorbs any dirt easily. It is a bit difficult to wash such a ceiling, it absorbs dust like a sponge. To facilitate care, consumers paint the tile after the surface is covered with water-based essences.
  2. Polyfoam injection ceiling tiles . It is formed by the method of sintering the raw material. High temperatures favorably affect the material, it is already more ecological, water resistant, the pattern is clearer, the edges are much smoother. The thickness of the foam itself is more - from 9 to 14 mm. The cost of injection tiles is three times higher than the stamped one, but the quality is worth it. Using an injection tile, you can get a ceiling without visible seams.
  3. Ceiling extruded tiles from foam . They are formed by pressing polystyrene strips. It is worth such material is more expensive than the above-mentioned brethren, but its hygiene is very high. Smooth surface of this tile is dense and smooth, it is either covered with a film or painted. The surface of the ceiling is perfectly cleaned and even slightly restored after accidental deformation.

You see that this unpretentious material has several varieties, many colors and patterns. If desired, the owners can even paint the ceiling tiles from polystyrene foam or polystyrene, changing the color of the surface to your taste. Successful repair to you!
