The gazebo is the pride of the owner of a country house. In the process of its construction, an important subject of thought is the choice of material for the interior decoration of the ceiling. After all, it should be not only beautiful and stylish, but also resistant to moisture and extremes in temperature conditions.
Ceiling Options
The choice of ceiling type depends on the style in which the arbor is designed. If you don’t like the classic design, you can choose from more modern options and make a ceiling:
- outboard;
- traction;
- wicker.
Did you know? The first arbors appeared in Ancient Egypt more than 5 thousand years ago. They were made of stone and marble, less often — from pine wood.
Suspension
Suspended structures have become very popular in recent years, as they are inexpensive, easy to assemble and dismantle. Tiled false ceilings isolate the room well from moisture and heat. They conduct sound poorly, which means that they work as a soundproof coating. They are easy to install, and if repairs are required, it is possible to notice a separate tile, and not the entire surface.
You can arrange the surface with slats. The rack design is convenient in that it gives complete creative freedom. But there is one significant minus: only professional builders should deal with the installation of such a design, since working with such material requires experience and knowledge.
Did you know? The first suspended ceilings began to be made in Ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt. Silk canvases were pulled in the rooms to protect residents and visitors from dust and to give the room sophistication and grooming.
Tension
Stretch ceilings are used in gazebos of a closed type, in which there are no significant temperature drops. PVC is very afraid of low temperatures. If in your region an air temperature of -10 ° C is the norm, then you will have to abandon this type of design and choose a different design option.
Wicker
The wicker ceiling is good for a Hawaiian-style summer terrace. Landscape designers like to work with wicker ceilings. Sheathing with a wicker tree is not very simple if you do not have experience in this direction.
Bamboo boards with a width of 10 centimeters are stacked on top of each other in a checkerboard pattern. Wicker surface allows you to make a different design. It can be coated with varnishes, improving the interior. For fastenings wicker rails take slate nails. If you want to save time, you can take ready-made bamboo slabs for cladding, which are in a wide range in most construction and finishing stores.
Important! Be careful, such a ceiling is flammable. Before buying bamboo rails, pay attention to whether they are impregnated with a special composition that prevents fire.
The better to hem the ceiling
The classic version of the ceiling is wood. But, first of all, wood is a combustible material, which, if improperly maintained or laid, will ignite and turn your summer vacation place into a heap of ash, money and nerves spent. If you decide to file the ceiling with a tree, you should take care to thoroughly impregnate the wooden boards with an anti-ignition composition.
Lining is that material, working with which, you do not need to be a professional. The design will be environmentally friendly. In addition to being easy to install and looking beautiful, this material also accepts any paintwork well. The optimal thickness of the rail car - 22 mm, not more. If the lining is thicker, it is likely that it will not be saturated with primers, which are designed to fight insects, and will subsequently be destroyed by them.
Fabric for decoration is rarely taken. It makes sense to use it only in those regions where there is no heavy rainfall and bright sun. For the ceiling covering of open-type arbors, a canvas is chosen, since it is very strong, and besides it does not cost as much as, for example, a tiled wooden coating.Important! The gazebo with such a ceiling should be closed and have a high quality roof covering.
Also, polycarbonate is used for lining, which is divided into several types:
- monolithic;
- cell phone.
Monolithic material allows you to create open arbors. He is not afraid of high and very low temperatures, deformation during installation. These properties do not limit the choice of shape and size of the building. Cellular polycarbonate is similar to a monolith, but more whimsical. He is afraid of frost and does not like to be drilled or knocked on.
The best choice is a ceiling laminate. It does not burn, is easy to fit, has a wide color palette and is inexpensive. But this is not all his virtues. One of the main ones is wear resistance.
In the gazebo open
If the house building is of an open type, the materials from which its ceiling will be made must be high-strength and wear-resistant. They should not be afraid of wind, rain, heat. When installing, take into account the life of the materials, so as not to be unpleasantly surprised after five to seven years that the ceiling sagged or lost color.
In open arbors, it is undesirable to use fabric, because rain or heat in a few weeks will turn a beautiful canvas into a piece of cloth. Subsequently, complete dismantling and replacement of the blade will be required. If there is no desire and time to tinker with the lining of the inner coating, then it is better to order a waterproof drywall.
Sheet thickness should be no more than 22 mm. But one should not have high hopes for the wear resistance of this material. It will last a maximum of 2 years. Suitable as a temporary cover.
You can arrange the ceiling with natural wood. It looks natural and aesthetically pleasing, well perceives tinting and soil. The most important thing is to saturate the boards well with an antiseptic before installation, which will not allow mold and rotting processes. Fans of practicality should choose those coatings that are easy to care for and process. These include: lining, PVC module, polycarbonate honeycomb or monolith.
In a closed gazebo
In a gazebo of a closed type, you can allow yourself everything. Stretch ceiling, beam ceilings in the design solution of the loft with chiffon suspensions (just do not forget that every season you have to remove it and put it in order to look decent), ceiling modular glass, polystyrene foam, foam plates and any other design options you can apply for decoration gazebos closed.
A variety of finishing materials allows you to choose any option for decorating the ceiling of the gazebo. The main thing is to think over the design style, purchase high-quality materials and responsibly approach their installation.
