Single level plasterboard ceilings in the interior

It is now difficult to surprise anyone with a drywall ceiling. He is equally loved by both interior designers and ordinary families who are thinking about repairs. Having a lot of advantages, it allows you to realize the most courageous ideas and hide the existing shortcomings with minimal effort. The simplest option is a single-level ceiling. However, it can completely transform the space and create the right atmosphere.

Like any medal, the drywall ceiling has two sides. Before you make a choice in his favor, you need to carefully analyze whether this option is right for you, or whether you should consider an alternative solution to the issue.

The advantages of a single-level ceiling of the GCR:

• Perfectly hides all the bumps. Aligning ceilings with serious defects with plaster and putty is sometimes difficult even for an experienced craftsman. In addition, it will take a lot of time and significant consumption of building materials. The ceiling of the gypsum plaster will reliably hide all the cavities and cracks due to the installation features.
• The ability to mount pipes, cables and other communications. Hanging wires have not decorated any interior yet. In addition, it is inconvenient and unsafe. If at the design stage you point out the need to hide them behind sheets, then an experienced master will easily bring it to life. As a result, you will get rid of the need to make walls or to lay additional cable channels.

• Ability to select the required number of light sources. It can be as traditional chandeliers, LED lighting, and spotlights. As a result, several major problems are solved at once: zoning of the space, the possibility of creating different lighting scenarios (for example, day and evening).

• Sound insulation and insulation.For standard panel high-rise buildings, the problem of sound insulation is particularly acute. It is not very pleasant to become an unwitting witness of the quarrels of neighbors or to bounce on the inclusion of their favorite music at 10 pm. Thus, additional sound insulation will never be superfluous. And if there is no such problem in country cottages, then the issue of insulation there is very acute.

• Environmental friendliness. This type of suspended ceilings without fear can be used even for children's rooms, the requirements for which are very high.
• Flexibility and easy cutting. Drywall - a very interesting material. On the one hand, it is quite fragile, but with skillful handling it can be used to trim a room with non-standard geometry. It does not require complex manipulations. Accurate measurements and calculations will help to create a perfectly flat surface even in the most difficult areas.

• The possibility of re-painting. If in a few years you want to drastically change the design of your apartment or simply update the furnishings, then you will not have to re-mount the ceiling. It will be enough to paint in the desired color.If necessary, you can also easily change the chandeliers and lamps.
• If desired, you can make the installation of a single-level ceiling without the involvement of professionals.

He has far fewer shortcomings, but it would be wrong to say that he is completely deprived of them.

Disadvantages that may affect your decision to refuse to install it:

• If you bought an apartment in a new building, then it is better not to make plasterboard false ceilings in the first two years. The house will shrink, resulting in inevitable deformation. Drywall can also go cracked or deformed.
• Eats the height of the room. Since for installation it will be necessary to install guide profiles, the overall height of the room will be reduced by at least 5 cm. If you have high ceilings and large square, this is not a problem. In small rooms with the usual height, this will be very noticeable.
• The inability to install in rooms with high humidity. Even a special moisture resistant drywall will not last long if it is used in a bathroom, where condensate is constantly accumulating, and dampness is present.
• If your neighbors flood you from above, or break the pipe, then the ceiling of the plasterboard will become unusable. To repair it is almost impossible.In this case, you have to completely dismantle the damaged material and make a new one.
