What should be the ceiling in the kitchen

Therefore, choosing the material for finishing the ceiling, you need to pay attention to the option that will be as practical as possible. So what is the best ceiling to make in the kitchen? To answer this question, first you need to note the points that the ceiling covering must correspond to:

• the ceiling must resist moisture and be easy to clean;
• the coating should be perfectly even and wear-resistant, and should also look good and hide communications such as wires, cables and ventilation;
• the coating should not cause allergies or emit toxic substances;
• the ceiling should be simple and unpretentious in installation, while being financially democratic.

Compliance with all of the above requirements and the right choice of material will create the perfect ceiling that will last for many years. What to make the ceiling in the kitchen?

Plaster and putty as a kitchen ceiling covering

This type of finish is a real classic in the finishing of any coatings, until now, many craftsmen prefer putty and plaster, because they:

• do not harm humans and the environment, while not causing allergies;
• great for leveling any surface;
• do not "steal" extra space, this is especially true if the ceilings in the kitchen are low.

Among the shortcomings, it can be noted that the use of materials requires knowledge and experience in order for the ceiling covering to really turn out to be of high quality, therefore, for unprepared users, experts give advice, hire professionals (this factor can be frightening, but do not worry financially, since plaster and putty is quite inexpensive, which will allow you to hire a master and meet the budget). Also, the procedure itself will take a lot of time due to the fact that you have to wait for the complete drying of all layers (1 layer - 1 day).

It is worth noting that cracks may appear over time due to shrinkage of the house. If the work needs to be completed as soon as possible, you can use moisture-resistant wallpaper.

Styrofoam boards for kitchen finishing

When choosing how to cover the ceiling in the kitchen, you can pay attention to polystyrene foam plates for decorating the ceiling, which are the key to a quick, high-quality and inexpensive repair, they:

• are one of the most affordable materials;
• do an excellent job of leveling the ceiling surface even without its careful initial processing;
• the plates are practical and elastic, therefore they perfectly hide all defects in the surface of the kitchen ceiling;
• easy to install, which does not require special skills, you can easily work on your own;
• the material is moisture resistant, great for the kitchen, because it is not affected by steam and is easy to clean.

As for the shortcomings of polystyrene foam boards, they are insignificant, for example, today they are not a fashionable trend (but not the fact that fashion will not change), and they are also very easily soiled, as they are often made in white, which will entail frequent wet cleaning of the ceiling.

An interesting fact is that this finish option is perfect for creating an interior with a style for the 70s and 80s. An old-fashioned surface will fit in very well here, but modern styles will require more modern materials.

Plastic panels as ceiling decoration in the kitchen

Asking how to finish the ceiling in the kitchen, while combining fashion trends, beauty and practicality, experts recommend paying attention to plastic panels, they:

• unpretentious and easy to install;
• very diverse in textures and models, have many shapes and colors, which will allow you to choose exactly such panels that are suitable for an individual design solution;
• they allow you to protect the kitchen from extraneous noise and sounds;
• they do an excellent job of hiding any communications without spoiling the overall design solution of the ceiling, while they are suitable for installing any lighting fixtures;
• contribute to the creation of a beautiful ceiling, which will become a real decoration of the kitchen;
• easy to wet and dry cleaning.

Among the disadvantages of such plates, it is worth noting that they “steal” space (from 5 to 15 cm), which can only be suitable for rooms with high ceilings, while they are not suitable for creating exquisite “premium” class ceilings, often they create the effect of an office premises.

Suspended plastic ceilings in the kitchen are created by attaching a special metal frame, which is the base, which, in turn, is attached to plastic panels. It is worth noting that for the installation of electrical wiring and ventilation, transformers will be required, on which the safety of the whole family will depend, here you should trust only trusted manufacturers, you do not need to save money, because cheap Chinese analogues can lead to fire and fire.

Plasterboard ceilings in the kitchen

Which ceiling is better to do in the kitchen, if the repair needs to be done exclusively on your own, without spending a lot of money, then you can take a closer look at drywall , it is not only practical and easy to install, but also involves many options for finishing (paint, any wallpaper, decorative plaster etc.), its advantages include the following provisions:

• drywall perfectly hides all communications without violating the integral composition of the kitchen interior;
• it makes it possible to create very beautiful “floating” flows, as well as single-level and multi-level structures, the latter will allow you to create not a kitchen, but a whole work of art;
• it perfectly levels the ceiling surface even without its preliminary processing;
• drywall sheets allow you to additionally insulate and soundproof the room;
• you can choose a moisture-resistant or fire-resistant option that will protect the kitchen from fire.

But such material also has its drawbacks, for example, it reduces the height of the ceiling, therefore it is recommended for installation only on high ceilings (this is especially true for multi-level structures).

Plasterboard ceilings allow you to divide the room into several zones with the right lighting, so the kitchen can be divided into a place for cooking and a place for eating. It will allow you to create an original ceiling covering with curved or geometric elements.

Stretch kitchen ceiling coverings

If the design of the kitchen requires the creation of an original, practical, but modern ceiling and the question arises of how to finish it, then stretch ceilings are exactly what will suit you as much as possible. They not only look amazing, but also create the effect of a very expensive and thoughtful repair. Tension structures have the following advantages:

• they will allow to realize any design decision;
• ceilings are quick to install;
• no additional pre-treatment of the ceiling surface is required, because the structure itself is perfectly flat and smooth;
• they involve the installation of ventilation, as well as fire safety systems;
• with their help, you can additionally decorate the premises by installing various types of lighting;
• such a ceiling will resist moisture well and not deform over time, it is durable and reliable, if some dirt, dust or grease gets on it  during cooking, it will be easy to do wet cleaning that will not damage the ceiling surface ;
• unlike drywall , a stretch ceiling can withstand a flood from neighbors from above.

But, despite the wide range of advantages, such ceilings have their drawbacks, they “steal” the space of the kitchen, they will not allow, if necessary, to replace part of the structure, the entire ceiling will have to be mounted completely. At the same time, a stretch ceiling will not work on your own, because experience and knowledge are very important here, if they are not there, then it is better to use the services of professionals or choose a different type of kitchen ceiling finish.

It is worth noting that tension structures are used when they want to bring some zest to the interior, which can distinguish the kitchen from the gray mass of the same type of premises, with their help various decorative visual effects are created that are suitable for classic design and modern high-tech style.

It is very difficult to say unequivocally which ceiling for the kitchen is better, because it depends on many factors, such as the height of the ceilings, the experience of the master, the design decision and the repair budget, carefully considering all the pros and cons of each option, you can make the right one choice.
