Dropped ceilings
Dropped ceilings - Solution # 1 if you need to hide it neatlyall kinds of engineering communications and at the same time get a beautiful ceiling. Suspended ceiling is a horizontal structure of a metal frame and decorative plates, which is attached to the base ceiling.
Suspended ceilings are durable, aesthetic and, moreover, very comfortable - If necessary, individual modules of the suspended ceiling are easily removed and replaced with new ones. There are suspended ceilings on the materials, shape and dimensions of the lining.
So, panels for suspended ceilings are made of mineral fiber, gypsum, plasterboard, metal, wood and plastic. The material should be selected based ontechnical requirements for the suspended ceiling, because in certain cases, suspended ceilings should be increased noise insulation, fire safety, moisture resistance, etc.
In its shape, panels for suspended ceilings can be divided into 6 groups:
- tiled
- panel
- rack and pinion
- sieve
- cassette
- cellular
In addition, there are also curvilinear forms of ceiling panels, designed to create a smooth transition between different levels of the false ceiling.
When choosing a particular false ceiling should rely on a number of criteria. So, for suspended ceilings the indicator is very important light reflectance. The higher this indicator, the less lighting, artificial or natural, will be needed for the room.
Moisture resistance index It is responsible for the stability of the suspended ceiling to deformations under the influence of moisture. When choosing a false ceiling for a bathroom or kitchen, this figure should be at least 95%.
Very important are heat and noise insulation of suspended ceilings. The level of noise insulation of suspended ceilings is due to the degree of sound absorption by the material from which it is made - soft porous materials are particularly good in this regard.
The thermal insulation properties of the suspended ceiling are also determined by the choice of material: the more it resists heat transfer, the higher its thermal insulation characteristics.
Depending on the required level of fire safety of the premises For suspended ceilings, refractory materials should be used: non-flammable, hardly flammable, hardly flammable.
When choosing a material for suspended ceilings, one should not ignore the aesthetic requirements. Using different colors and textures of the material, as well as correctly selected lighting, you can get various design effects.
