We use ceiling panels for interior decoration
In modern construction, high-quality, reliable and aesthetically pleasing finishing materials are used for interior decoration of premises. Ceiling panels of various designs, sizes, and colors are especially popular.
What is it and why are they needed
For fastening certain types of panels, it is necessary to use a special suspension system, which is a kind of ceiling frame. First, it is securely attached to the ceiling itself. Then the panels are taken and applied, one by one. Panel ceilings are found almost everywhere.
Ceiling panels are used for interior decoration as a design component. For example, there is a room, and it needs to be given a look in accordance with one or another design style, for which wallpaper and linoleum are carefully selected.
The same is with the ceiling, which somehow needs to be decorated so that it merges with the interior of the whole room. Just do not forget that rooms are cold, outside sounds penetrate them. Some ceiling panels can correct these imperfections and improve the comfort of the premises.
What are the ceiling panels
As for the design purpose, the number of execution options is simply innumerable. Ceiling panels come in a variety of colors, patterns, and so on. Their purpose is just decoration. But there are those very panels that block unwanted sounds and are able to keep warm. They are made using thermal insulation and soundproof materials. Ceiling panels usually differ in functionality and material of manufacture. May be:
- decorative;
- insulating;
- illuminating.
Decorative
They can be made from metal, wood, plastic, glass and so on. Decorative panels for the ceiling are usually used in apartments and houses. Patterns are applied to these panels, which looks very beautiful. There are mosaic, which together form an image of something. There are the most decorative panels on the market of building and finishing materials.
Insulating
Made from materials that retain heat and do not let out unnecessary sounds. First of all, foam plastic carries such functions. Wooden ceiling panels can also be classified as insulating.
Illuminating
It's more interesting here. Light bulbs, neon tubes or, which is fashionable nowadays, LEDs are built into each panel. They are usually attached to ceilings together with panels for other purposes, forming an entire lighting system. For example, lighting panels can be found on the ceilings of offices, shops, businesses.
Ceiling panels also differ in material:
- metal;
- wooden;

Metallic
Made of galvanized steel or aluminum. In the production of metal ceiling panels, embossing can be used, which gives the pattern a volume. They can be cellular, rack, rectangular and cassette. They have a fireproof, moisture resistant effect. Practical, hygienic and durable.
Wooden
They give the room a solid appearance and create a prestigious interior.Can be laminated, veneered and fibrous. They have a unique appearance, absorb sound. To emphasize the importance of the premises, they use laminated ones.
Foam
They are the cheapest and lightest, they can be simply glued to the ceiling with mounting glue. Ideal for ceilings with a weak overlap, which may not withstand heavy loads. If the foam panel falls suddenly, it will not cause any harm. But it is worth remembering that foam burns very well, like plastic.
When foam burns, a huge amount of carcinogenic substances is released.
Plastic
The main advantages are the ease and simplicity of installation. Plastic ceiling panels can be easily installed without any special skills.
Plastic, of course, burns well, but when melted, it will start dripping down. Once on the skin, such drops cause severe burns.
Plasterboard panels
One of the most popular ceiling panels. Installation is complicated by the large mass of gypsum plasterboards. Therefore, the frame must be somewhat stronger to support the entire ceiling. Installing them alone will be very problematic.
When installing drywall panels, you need to take the fastening extremely seriously! If this slab falls on your head, injury is inevitable.
