Today, Lao Feng will introduce in detail the choice of gypsum board or aluminum gusset material for the bathroom ceiling.
1, aluminum gusset material
The invention has that advantage of safety, non-toxicity, fire prevention, multi-selectivity, good machinability, light weight, high strength, sound and heat insulation, excellent surface coating performance, no discoloration aft long-term use and convenient construction.
If it needs to be replaced or maintained later, it's no trouble. If the aluminum gusset plate needs to be replaced or cleaned, it can be removed with a sucker or a special plate remover. The aluminum gusset plate has smooth surface, clear edges and elegant overall effect.
But the disadvantage is that the aluminum gusset ceiling needs keel. Therefore, attention should be paid to early construction. In addition, the convenience of construction does not mean that the details are not high, because the aluminum gusset plates should be spliced together one by one. If the splicing place is not handled properly, it will affect the overall beauty.
2. Gypsum board
In addition to waterproof, gypsum board can also be used for thermal insulation, fire and sound insulation, environmental protection, easy decoration, low energy consumption and high efficiency and certain decorative effect. But it will be deformed after a long time, which will affect the use effect.
In the past, families who used waterproof gypsum board to suspend the ceiling, once there was water leakage upstairs, the whole gypsum board would be soaked by water, leaving many ugly water marks.
This reason is mainly because the waterproof gypsum board is only used to prevent indoor water vapor, and its back is not coated with waterproof paint. Once the water leaks upstairs, it is difficult to find it in time. Over time, gypsum board will be pulverized due to long-term soaking, leaving ugly stains. Therefore, it is suggested that the metal aluminum gusset plate should be used for the bathroom ceiling, which is not only good in performance and durable, but also convenient for disassembly, cleaning and maintenance.
Finally, emphasize the key point: if you need to repair or replace wires and the like in the later stage, it will be more troublesome to use gypsum board, which is not as simple as aluminum gusset plate. Comprehensive comparison, the bathroom is more suitable for aluminum gusset plate.
What are the precautions for installing the ceiling in the bathroom?
1, installation points of toilet ceiling keel
The current bathroom decoration is mainly light steel keel, and the wooden keel is easy to get wet, so it is not recommended to use it in the bathroom. Secondly, Lao Feng suggested that everyone should pay attention to the flatness when installing the light steel keel, and the keel spacing deviation should be controlled within 1-2 meters. When installing, the keel should be inserted in sequence, and the keel, suspender and connector should be positioned correctly and not loose.
2. Installation of water heater
If it is the decoration of the ceiling of the blank room, the water heater should be installed first. Generally, half of electric water heaters are exposed under the ceiling. Construction workers will cut gusset plates and seal edges according to the shape of electric water heaters, while gas water heaters are generally below the ceiling. If the smoke vent is on it, make an opening in the ceiling.
3, bathroom lamps and lanterns installation
Some large lamps and exhaust fans need to be fixed by keel alone, which is easy to cause the aluminum gusset plate to fall off directly on the aluminum gusset plate, which has certain safety hazards. If glass lamps are installed, tempered glass or laminated glass should be used.
Secondly, as far as possible, there is an outlet for repairing the concealed ceiling, so as to ensure that when the line is in doubt, it can be repaired from the maintenance hole. For the repaired opening, you can hide it with other decorations without worrying about affecting the aesthetic effect.
Finally, the cover panel and keel of the ceiling should be closely connected, and the surface should be smooth, and there should be no defects such as pollution, cracking, missing corners and jumping. Also, the joints between plates should be uniform and consistent, and there should be no delamination; Shelved cover plates shall not leak, penetrate or tilt; Remember to apply preservatives to the keel that directly touches the wall or ceiling.
