The modern market offers a wide range of finishing materials, and given this diversity, making the right choice, you must admit, is not easy.
Expert of the online publication Belnovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, listed the types of ceiling plinths, their features and nuances.
Polyurethane skirting boards
The advantages of this option include a variety of design options and good geometry.
A significant drawback is the high cost. In addition, cracks often appear at the joints after 1-2 years of use. This can be avoided by purchasing products from trusted suppliers and using special joint glue from the manufacturer.
Plaster skirting boards
Gypsum skirting boards are chosen by those who would like to bring their boldest ideas to life, ordering stucco moldings according to their own sketches. However, the performer, like the installer, must be at the highest level.
The main disadvantage is the long manufacturing time. And in this case, no one is protected from cracks at the joints either.
Duropolymer skirting boards
This option is an analogue of polyurethane skirting boards, which has greater rigidity and strength, which makes it more suitable for use on the floor, but, in principle, useless in the case of use on the ceiling.
Foam skirting boards
The only option that can be suitable for curved walls, since foam plastic is lightweight, bends well and follows the contour. In addition, their price cannot but please, and cracks at the joints in this case will not appear.
