In interior decoration design, we often overlook the decoration of the ceiling area. As an important part of interior decoration, the ceiling can further strengthen our decorative style in the three-dimensional space and make the overall space more perfect.

Among the traditional ceiling decoration materials, gypsum board, mineral wool board, calcium silicate board, etc. are commonly used. PVC ceiling, as a new type of decorative material, is widely used in modern interior decoration. But compared with traditional ceiling decoration materials, what are the differences between these PVC ceilings? Continue reading this article to learn more about the advantages and disadvantages of PVC ceilings.

Advantages of PVC ceiling

1. Diverse surface colors

PVC ceilings have rich surface colors and a wide range of choices. They usually offer a variety of patterns and colors to choose from, such as wood grain, marble, metal, leather, fabric, diatom mud, skin-feel series, and other textures. These rich finishes provide people with more flexible choices.

2. Superior performance

PVC ceiling is light in weight and easy to install. It is also waterproof, moisture-proof and insect-proof. The new process also adds flame-retardant materials to further improve its fire resistance, making it safer to use indoors.

PVC is a common material in life and is widely used in many fields. PVC sheet, as a decorative profile covering the surface of the ceiling, is more decorative than traditional gypsum board and more mildew-proof and insect-proof than solid wood ceilings.

3. Price advantage

Due to the low cost of PVC materials, the price of PVC sheets is also very advantageous. Compared with gypsum boards and mineral wool boards, it is undoubtedly a more worthwhile investment.

In addition, they are usually installed with adhesives, and their simple installation method further reduces labor costs, making your project easier to implement.

4. Environmentally friendly materials, harmless to the human body

High-quality PVC ceiling is environmentally friendly, durable, harmless to the human body, and has no irritating odor. Even if it is installed in a home with children or the elderly, it will not have any impact.

PVC sheet was once considered the best choice for indoor ceiling decoration. In addition to its very strong and durable performance, it is not easy to bend or corrode.

It is well known that wooden and plaster ceilings have strong hygroscopicity and are prone to mold or yellowing when placed in a humid environment for a long time. PVC ceilings do not have such concerns. It has no affinity with water and naturally has strong waterproof, mildew-proof, and antibacterial properties. PVC wall panels made of this material are very suitable for installation in humid environments.

5. Easy installation and replacement

The installation of PVC ceilings is not complicated. As long as you have DIY ability, you can also use professional tools to create an indoor ceiling of your style.

Generally, installing a PVC ceiling requires sufficient patience and a certain amount of calculation thinking. First, you need to accurately measure the area of the installation area, and then cut the wallboard into a specific length with the help of a metal cutter or saw. Then use a level gauge to mark the installation position, install the corner line first, and then install the wood square. After the wooden bracket is installed, install the PVC wallboard on the wood square. Because the wallboard adopts a mother-and-child groove design, seamless splicing can be achieved. However, to ensure that it can have more reliable stability, nails are usually used at the splicing for further fixing. Finally, after the installation is completed, use sealant to seal the diagonal edges.

The following tools usually need to be prepared in advance to install PVC ceilings. Such as wood squares, double-sided tape, integrated nails, structural glue, miter saws, air pump air guns, Martin guns, steel nail guns, sealants, level measuring instruments, goggles, earmuffs, etc.

6. Acid and alkali resistant, easy to clean

PVC ceiling is acid and alkali-resistant, not easy to absorb dust, and can be easily cleaned by wiping the surface with a wet towel.

Unlike solid wood wall panels, it does not require any varnish or frequent painting to maintain a good decorative condition.

Disadvantages of PVC Ceilings

PVC ceilings also have disadvantages. The biggest disadvantage is that their physical properties are unstable and they are prone to aging or plastic deformation after long-term use.

Secondly, if they are installed in an environment with direct sunlight, they will also accelerate their aging and be more prone to deformation.

In addition, if the replaced PVC sheets are not handled properly, they are likely to cause environmental pollution, so they usually need to be recycled and properly handled by professionals.
