Hello World! Welcome Friends! In the context of a renovation, the floors and walls are not the only ones to pay attention. Indeed, for harmonious decor, the ceilings also deserve your full attention. Yet many underestimate the finish of their ceiling. When it is well chosen and well done, it brings luminosity and cachet to your interior, but this is not the only point to consider.
Apart from this, the choice of ceiling finish also depends on its use and the nature of the part. Matt, glossy or satin finishes, in addition to being different in terms of design, have very distinct properties and a resistance capacity that varies according to the environments to which they are exposed. All these notions must be an integral part of your reflection to choose the finish of your textured ceiling.

The Matte Finish
The matte paint finish is the best light absorbent. Widespread for ceiling texture, it also helps to camouflage certain irregularities. Easy to apply, this paint finish is sensitive to dirt and is more challenging to maintain than glossy paint, for example. It is not washable.
The Glossy Finish
Unlike the matte finish, the glossy finish will reflect light. Resistant to humidity, it is straightforward to maintain with a simple sponge wipe. Its mirror-effect lacquer finish also makes it possible to highlight reliefs such as ceiling moldings, for example. If it quickly resists stains and scratches, this finish is not optimal when the ceiling has multiple defects that it cannot hide even under several layers.
The Satin Finish

More resistant than the latter, it can dress the ceilings of living rooms and even wet rooms without fear of being stained or damaged. On the other hand, its application is more delicate than paint with a matte finish, and it does not hide defects as well.

There Are Three Types of False Ceilings:
The stretch ceiling is a design solution composed of a velum, that is to say, a thermoplastic canvas (generally PVC), thermo-extensible, which is stretched on the periphery of the walls on profiles in aluminum or PVC. The canvas is superimposed on the original ceiling and can be hung at any height below the ceiling. (Measure between the original ceiling and the canvas to be stretched).
The floating ceiling: this is a ceiling installed under the original ceiling to reduce the room’s height. Nowadays, it is the most used type of ceiling, especially in offices and commercial premises. It adapts to most load-bearing structures in concrete, wood, or steel.
The suspended ceiling: widely used in new construction or renovation, the suspended ceiling makes it possible to hide the roof. It consists of hangers fixed to the tie-beams of the frame, rails, and BA13 plasterboard. It’s simple installation technique is done using a very light metal structure on which the plasterboards will be fixed. Gaskets in the form of strips are then placed between each plate before applying the coating or paint.
