Ceiling plinth serves as an additional interior trim. The plinth is mounted when performing any ceilings - stretch, rush, adhesive or basic. When installing the ceiling tile, it is simply necessary to close the angle of the wall and the ceiling. If the walls and the ceiling are decorated with lining - a wooden cartel is mounted.

The carter is as taken to call the ceiling plinth.

The construction market presents a large selection of plinths, various quality, length and width and drawing. Therefore, the question often gets like - what a ceiling plinth to choose.

In stores ceiling plinths are called differently - quilt, baguette, cornice, frieze, molding or simply - ceiling plinth.

How to choose a ceiling plinth

The choice of plinth affects the price, width, material from which the plinth is made. The value is weight, its density and baseline length.

Plinth of expanded polystyrene has a greater density, its weight significantly exceeds the weight of the plinth from the usual foam. For this reason, the ceiling plinth for stretch ceilings is better to choose from the lung foam.

Apply glue into a piece of the plinth, which comes into contact with the stretch ceiling. The plinth is glued only to the wall. Heavy plinth is difficult to securely fix if the glue is applied only on one side. The light foam plinth is easy to glue the wall, and it does not differ much from polystyrene foam.

The result of the work and the view of the room depends on how the ceiling plinth is selected correctly.

When choosing a plinth, the height of the room is taken into account. If the ceiling height is 250 cm - buy plinth 1-2.5 cm wide. Wide plinth visually reduces the height of the ceilings.

With ceiling height 270 cm and above, you can use a wide plinth.

Do not use the dark color ceiling plinth for the decoration of low ceilings.

Please note that complex multistage baguettes are difficult to trim in the corners. If the relief of the plinth is not combined in the corner - the work will be corrupted.

When mounting the ceilings from drywall in several levels, it is possible to do without a plinth, or stick non-fighter plinth. Wide plinth will be visually weighting the design, it will look cumbersome.

Also, the choice of plinth is affected by the method of its installation. If you are going to mount the plinth on the shplatovka - choose light.
