The main advantages of stretch ceilings in comparison with drywall

We collide with the fact that many clients consider gypsum plaster ceilings to be more profitable and cheaper option in comparison with tension ones. And although we present on the site a comparison of different types of ceiling finishes, we do not get tired of talking about it each time verbally and in writing 🙂

Let’s remind the main advantages of stretch ceilings in comparison with plasterboard ceilings

Stretch ceiling:

• can save the apartment from flooding by neighbors, because they are water-resistant and can hold water up to 100 liters per 1 sq. m .;
• set on average for 3-4 hours;
• the surface of the stretch ceiling is perfectly smooth and even;
• easy to clean (in which almost does not need);
• guarantee – 12 years;
• price – from 15 $.

Gypsum plasterboard ceilings can not boast of such advantages, because:

• spoil from water and in the event of a “flood” nothing will be saved and will themselves become worthless;
• are established within a few days (from 5);
• smooth, rough surface;
• It is possible only dry cleaning, which is needed because it does not repel dust;
• guarantee – 1 year;
• the price is very different depending on the decorative elements and techniques.

In addition to the above, to install gipsokartonnyh ceilings need longer and more carefully prepare the room, and much to remove construction debris – after installation works. Also, it is not desirable to put them in the kitchen and in the bathroom because of the increased humidity to which the drywall is sensitive.
