Ceiling plinth for stretch ceilings: types

Today the stretch ceiling is one of the most popular elements of decoration. With a minimum of shortcomings, it has a number of advantages. This provided him wide distribution among the inhabitants of Russia. In order for the coating to have a finished appearance, ceiling skirting boards are required for stretch ceilings that cover the joint of walls and linens (molding).

Actually, this element of decor - a pad of rubber, polystyrene, plastic or polyurethane. It not only gives the room a finished look, but also masks possible irregularities and cracks on the joints of surfaces. In addition, ceiling skirting boards for tension ceilings cover a metal baguette in which the canvas is fixed. Separately, the plinth is not necessary to use only in the case of using the CLIPSO technology, since the plastic profile fulfills both the role of the material holder and the function of the decorative lining.

The simplest kind of molding is a rubber insert. Such ceiling skirting boards are fixed for a stretch ceiling directly in the metal profile itself, on which the canvas is held. In this case, the use of any additional fasteners, glue is not necessary. This pad fits well to the wall, hides all the shortcomings and irregularities, is resistant to moisture, which allows you to use it in the bathroom, toilet. Also, a rubber ceiling skirting board can be bought for a very low price. In addition, the overlay can be removed from the profile, and then reinstalled (for example, when plywood wallpaper). Among the shortcomings of this type of skirting can be distinguished color limitations (usually only in white), as well as a small width, which does not always fit into the overall interior of the room.

Polyurethane and foam plastic skirting boards for stretch ceilings are also common. It is worth noting that they can be used for other types of finishing materials. The main advantage of such inserts is a wide variety of shapes, sizes and textures, allowing you to choose the best option for your interior. In addition, the molding surface can be painted in any color with water-based paint, most suitable for the design of the room.

Ceiling baseboards made of foam plastic are lighter and cost less than polyurethane. When fastened, they fit well against the wall, hiding all the irregularities. However, they are very fragile and under the action of some adhesives are destroyed. The ceiling skirting board from the foam is applied to the putty or styroporous glue.

The best qualities are polyurethane skirting. It is flexible, resistant to various mechanical influences, rather dense. To disadvantages of use with stretch ceilings is worth noting its fairly large weight. Therefore, the fastening is done on the walls, not on the canvas.

Ceiling baseboards for stretch ceilings should be fixed on even walls, without cracks and flaking of the coating. For a better view and fastening of skirting boards in the corners it is recommended to use special corner elements. The joints of the linings must be treated with glue for a more durable connection. When installing the molding, avoid contact with the adhesive on the stretch ceiling to avoid damaging the blade.
