In the renovation of new houses, the kitchen space is eroded by oil smoke and water vapor, which often makes many owners hesitate to choose the materials for kitchen ceiling decoration, fearing that they will choose badly. Kitchen fumes and water vapor have a certain influence on the ceiling. There are many kinds of materials for kitchen ceiling in the market, the most commonly used are integrated ceiling and gypsum board ceiling. Today, I summarized an article about dry goods for choosing integrated ceiling and gypsum board ceiling materials for kitchen ceilings. If your house is about to be renovated recently, you can read this article in advance.

First of all, let's learn the basic knowledge about integrated ceiling and gypsum board ceiling 1, integrated ceiling.

Integrated ceiling, also known as aluminum gusset ceiling, is a new type of ceiling material with a wide range of applications. Besides being installed in the kitchen, it can also be installed in the bathroom and balcony. There are two kinds of integrated ceiling in the market: rectangular and square, with flat holes and punched holes on the surface. The surface requirements of aluminum gusset plate are relatively high, the flat seam is relatively exquisite, and the overall design is relatively simple and generous. If the aluminum gusset plate is inspected, it depends on the gloss and thickness of the paint film, and the decoration of the kitchen is also more graded.

Advantages:

Fire-proof, moisture-proof and anti-corrosion: all aluminum gusset ceiling materials on the market have been specially treated with fire-proof, moisture-proof and anti-corrosion. Choosing a relatively environmentally friendly water-based coating on the surface of aluminum gusset plate can not only play an antioxidant role in the oxygen in the air, but also prevent the ceiling material in the kitchen from being affected by fire. More importantly, it plays a role in preventing moisture and corrosion. Anti-static: the anti-static of aluminum gusset ceiling material is related to its material. The aluminum gusset plate is based on aluminum alloy material and is obtained by cutting and molding. Aluminum alloy material itself has no conductive effect, so it has anti-static function. Long service life, not easy to change color: the integrated ceiling with aluminum gusset plate is selected for the kitchen ceiling, which has a long service life, is not easy to change color, is moderate in price, and is acceptable to many users, with high cost performance. Disadvantages:

High installation requirements: the integrated ceiling has relatively high installation requirements. Once an unprofessional installation master is found, the effect of flat-fell seam will have a certain impact on the overall ceiling. The firmness and aesthetics are relatively high: before installing the aluminum gusset ceiling, the keel needs to be selected, and the wooden keel and light steel keel have higher requirements in selection. I'm worried that the wooden keel will get wet easily, which will affect the firmness and beauty. Simple plate type: the plate type of aluminum gusset plate is relatively simple, not as diverse as plastic gusset plate. 2. Gypsum board ceiling

Gypsum board is a kind of material with building gypsum as the main raw material. At present, many families begin to decorate the kitchen ceiling with gypsum board. The combination of light steel keel and double-layer gypsum board, especially the open kitchen type, can consider making the kitchen and dining room space more unified.

Advantages:

Good aesthetics: gypsum board is selected for the ceiling of the kitchen, which is consistent with the dining room space, which not only plays a beautiful decorative role, but also makes the overall space of the kitchen more spacious. Light weight and convenient processing: Gypsum board is made of paper and gypsum, which is relatively light in weight and convenient for later processing, which is conducive to shortening the construction period. High flame retardancy: waterproof gypsum board is selected for the kitchen ceiling, and the gypsum board is specially waterproof before construction, which has high flame retardancy. Mothproof and fire prevention: waterproof gypsum board itself has the conditions of fire prevention, and gypsum board will not be easily affected with damp. Gypsum board will not be eroded by moths as long as it doesn't touch water. Therefore, the service life is prolonged. Disadvantages:

Difficult to take care of: the ceiling of the kitchen is made of gypsum board, which will be difficult to take care of once spilled with oil, so it is more difficult to take care of. High price: Compared with aluminum gusset ceiling, gypsum board ceiling has many processes in construction, such as wall lining, caulking, putty polishing, latex paint treatment, etc., which not only has high labor cost but also requires high decorative materials. Through the above analysis, what is the difference between two different ceiling materials:

Different raw materials: aluminum gusset plate is made of aluminum alloy through special process, and gypsum board is made of paper and gypsum. The construction technology is different: the aluminum gusset plate is directly constructed with keel and plate, and it does not need to be treated after installation, while the gypsum board construction is more complicated. Gypsum board combined with light steel keel also needs joint filling, wall leveling, putty polishing and latex paint brushing. The price is different: two different materials are of little significance in terms of price, but the multiple processes of gypsum board not only make the decoration project much more, but also make the labor cost higher, so the price of aluminum gusset plate is relatively cheaper than gypsum board. Different aesthetic degrees: the kitchen with aluminum gusset ceiling makes the space have obvious regional division, while the gypsum board ceiling is unified with the dining room, corridor and even living room, which is more beautiful than the kitchen with gypsum board ceiling. The designer analyzed the main influencing factors of choosing two different ceiling materials: ① price.

The prices of many aluminum gusset ceilings on the market are uneven, so owners should choose integrated ceilings with different prices according to their own economic conditions. The high-priced aluminum gusset ceiling has a large choice space and rich colors, while the gypsum board ceiling is relatively transparent, which is mainly due to multiple processes and labor costs.

② Decoration style

Now many owners pay more attention to the unity of decoration style, especially the integration of two different functions of kitchen and dining room, not only the ceiling, but also the hard parts such as floor and wall. If the ceiling uses uniform materials, the overall decoration style will become beautiful.

③ Personal preference

In fact, two different ceiling materials are closely related to the personal preferences of homeowners and their families. As long as we consider the decoration budget and decoration style, we will choose a cost-effective kitchen ceiling material in a short time.

Designer's suggestion: Personally, I think it would be better to consider aluminum gusset integrated ceiling in the kitchen. With the continuous progress of technology and the continuous upgrading of decorative materials, most of the integrated ceilings on the market are made of light materials. Easy construction, oil pollution prevention, moisture resistance and other advantages; The multiple processes of gypsum board materials increase the overall decoration cost, and many decoration materials have weak discrimination ability. Once you buy gypsum board without waterproof function from the market, it will easily lead to cracking. Of course, the designer suggested choosing the integrated ceiling material as the kitchen ceiling, but the choice is still in his own hands.
