Such decoration of the ceiling and walls makes the room more elegant, brings a touch of luxury. Classic ceiling with stucco is considered to be an attribute of luxury and in modern design it is not so common. But the stucco itself is used quite actively, and modern materials greatly simplify the process of its installation and further operation.
Fretwork on the ceiling: a modern approach to the timeless classics
Modern materials make it possible to simplify the installation process and to choose the most different forms and designs of stucco . As for the cost, it is much lower than the cost of classical gypsum constructions. Let's consider what new materials manufacturers use when manufacturing:
- foamed polystyrene (the material has proved itself to be good at the expense of low cost and ease of installation, but it lacks the clarity of the picture, and the strength is not the highest);
- foamed polyurethane (this variant is the closest to the real molding of gypsum by external characteristics, moisture resistant and has high strength);
- also use fiberglass and glass composite.
How to glue stucco on the ceiling?
To fix the modern decorative elements for the ceiling use PVA glue, liquid nails or dowels. Most often preference is given to liquid nails, since they are universal and not demanding on the surfaces to be glued.
If we are talking about stucco from polyurethane or polystyrene, then for them there are special glue solutions, which are offered by stucco makers.
The installation process is simple. The first thing to do with the help of diagonals is to find the center of the ceiling and work starts from this point. The place of attachment of all parts is marked on the plan. Then, the adhesive is applied and all the elements of the composition are set in turn. At the same time immediately wipe the remnants of the glue. In the end, everything needs to be plastered and stained.
Design of stucco on the ceiling
Now let's dwell on the modern use of stucco from different materials.
- Stretch ceiling with stucco is a striking example of a combination of modern technology and a classic approach to ceiling decoration. As a rule, for these purposes, the center elements for chandeliers and moldings around the perimeter are used. Stretch ceiling with stucco around the perimeter looks quite impressive and does not violate the general design idea, while you can hide the LED strip under it and thereby create a unique design.
- Foam molding on the ceiling is an excellent compromise between price and quality. If you decide to make repairs yourself, then this is the perfect solution. But it is worth remembering that buying all the decorative elements will have a margin, since they are quite fragile. In the rest it is a good choice for independent decor of the room.
- Classic stucco molding from gypsum is used today for design purposes. The fact is that the plaster itself is relatively cheap. All the main part of the costs will go towards the creation of the structure, since only high-qualified professionals are required to produce and glue stucco on the ceiling.
