Decoration may seem complicated, but it is actually very simple. You only need to "disassemble" each item to know how to decide. For example, in the hard decoration link, we can take out the "suspended ceiling" separately and analyze it. All indoor ceiling solutions ultimately cannot escape the two options of "suspended ceiling" and "no suspended ceiling". . For people who have no decoration experience, as long as they understand some basic knowledge, they can quickly choose the answer in their hearts.

In this home furnishing topic, I will systematically share with you some things about "suspended ceilings" in new house decoration..

This topic will be divided into five parts for detailed analysis. If you don’t have much time to read, it is recommended to save it in advance for easy reference when decorating your house later.

1. Under what circumstances is a suspended ceiling needed?

Suspended ceiling is sometimes a "required option". For example, in the following situations, suspended ceiling is required.

. Install central air conditioner

Because the pipes of the central air conditioner need to go to the top, if they are not "wrapped", it will naturally affect the appearance. And there will be noise. Therefore, if your home decides to install central air conditioning, then the suspended ceiling becomes the standard design.

. Install a "ducted" fresh air system or a cabinet-type fresh air system

The fresh air system has become quite popular in recent years. As a large appliance that can achieve 24-hour ventilation in a confined space, it does have a certain value. , especially in cities with severe smog or in apartments with poor ventilation. However, there are many types of fresh air systems, including wall-mounted fresh air system , cabinet fresh air system, ducted fresh air system, window fresh air system, etc. If you install a ducted fresh air system and a cabinet-type fresh air system (which also requires ducting), you need to install a suspended ceiling.


. Install track curtains or electric curtains

Track curtains and electric curtains will of course be ugly if exposed to the outside. So there is such a thing as " curtain box ". In the final analysis, the installation of curtain boxes is considered a suspended ceiling. It’s just that a simple curtain box ceiling is very simple. It can be a piece of gypsum board or connected to a regular suspended ceiling.

. High aesthetic requirements for ceilings

It has to be said that some people just like indoor environments with suspended ceilings, so if they have high aesthetic requirements, then they need to make suspended ceilings. After all, the beauty of suspended ceilings is recognized.


2. Under what circumstances is it not recommended to suspend the ceiling?

Some houses are not suitable for suspended ceilings, or there is no need for suspended ceilings.

. The indoor floor height is relatively low

In previous decoration topics, I have mentioned more than once that if the indoor floor height is too low, then it is not recommended to install a suspended ceiling. Because it would be too depressing. It is recommended that residential buildings with floor heights less than 2.8 meters should not have whole-house suspended ceilings. If you remove more than ten centimeters from the ceiling and then remove a few centimeters from the ground, the interior will feel obviously depressing after decoration.

. Limited budget

Whether it is gypsum board, keel, or labor, the cost of making a suspended ceiling cannot be ignored. Therefore, if the budget is insufficient, it is recommended not to make a suspended ceiling. This part can save a lot of budget.


. Like minimalist style or have high space requirements

Nowadays, many young people no longer use suspended ceilings, because in the eyes of these people, " minimalist is grand." Therefore, after removing the suspended ceiling, what you gain is not only a minimalist tone, but also a sufficient spatial vision.


3. What are the common techniques for suspended ceilings?

Speaking of suspended ceilings, the following are currently more popular in home decoration . Everyone has different preferences and budgets, so you can "select according to your needs."

. Whole-house suspended ceiling

Whole-house suspended ceiling means that all indoor ceilings must be suspended, and this suspended ceiling method is only suitable for residences with relatively high floor heights, and the budget must be sufficient. There is no requirement for the construction period.

, four-sided hanging

four-sided hanging, simply put, it is to walk around the ceiling in a circle. It is very suitable for homes with central air conditioning and fresh air systems. And this method is also the most popular process at present. However, the surrounding ceiling can be divided into "open hidden light ceiling" and "closed hidden light ceiling". It is recommended that you choose the latter. Because the former is too easy to accumulate dust, it will increase a lot of housework burden.


, minimalist gypsum board ceiling

The "minimalist gypsum board ceiling" mentioned here also refers to walking around the ceiling, but the building materials in the circle are replaced by "double-layer gypsum board" or "single-layer gypsum board" Gypsum board” (double eyelid ceiling, single eyelid ceiling). This ceiling method is extremely simple and does not affect the appearance. To be honest, it is more suitable for most families.

. Surrounding decorative plaster lines

There are many types of plaster lines on the market, so the aesthetics are not bad. It is also a good idea to run a decorative plaster line like this around the ceiling. It is worth a reference for families with a low budget or high space requirements.


4. How to raise the ceiling in the kitchen and bathroom?

In fact, some of the knowledge about suspended ceilings mentioned above generally refers to the living room and bedroom. There are big differences in the ceilings between kitchens and bathrooms because of their different space usage functions.

Let’s briefly talk about the commonly used ceiling building materials in kitchens and bathrooms:

, aluminum gusset plate

As the most traditional ceiling building material, the reason why aluminum gusset plate has not been eliminated is because this material is very practical. Not only will it not deform, it will not get damp, and it is easy to clean even if it is dirty.

, honeycomb large board

honeycomb large board and aluminum gusset board are essentially aluminum materials, so their practicality is similar. However, the specifications (size) of the honeycomb large panels are larger, so there are fewer gaps after installation and the appearance is relatively high. Therefore, this kind of suspended ceiling building materials is relatively common nowadays, but the price is slightly more expensive.


, gypsum board

Everyone is familiar with gypsum board. There are many families with open kitchens who often choose waterproof gypsum board for the ceiling. To be honest, this kind of ceiling building material has poor practicality and is just good-looking. Because even waterproof gypsum boards are prone to moisture and mold, and will turn yellow over time and are difficult to clean, and they cannot be repeatedly disassembled like aluminum gusset boards.

Through the above introduction of advantages and disadvantages, I believe everyone already has the answer:

In terms of practicality and cost performance, the priority order of selection is: aluminum gusset board > honeycomb large board > waterproof gypsum board.


5. Ceiling suggestions

Finally, let me tell you the truth. When it comes to ceiling decoration in a new house, it is recommended that “the simpler, the better”. As time goes by, you will know that the simpler the decoration, the happier the home will be.

In addition, there is no need to invest too much in choosing building materials for the suspended ceiling. Whether it is gypsum board or aluminum gusset board, it is enough to choose the one with ordinary price. However, light steel keel should be selected with good quality, and wooden keel should pay attention to the environmental protection level.
