The suspended ceiling is composed of decorative panels, keels, hanging wires and other materials, which can be replaced frequently as needed, and is a very convenient household item. According to the material of the decorative board, the ceiling can be divided into gypsum board ceiling, metal plate ceiling, glass ceiling, PVC board ceiling, etc. The cost of gypsum board is relatively cheap, followed by PVC board, and metal board is the most durable but the price is higher. At present, the aluminum gusset ceiling in the metal plate is mainly used in home decoration.
But pure aluminum is soft, so the aluminum gussets on the market are actually aluminum alloy ceilings, such as aluminum-magnesium alloys, aluminum-manganese alloys, etc. The aluminum-manganese alloy buckle plate has a higher hardness, and the aluminum-magnesium alloy increases the hardness while also increasing some brightness. Good texture and strong decorative effect. High-quality aluminum-manganese alloy gussets are commonly known as stainless aluminum because of their good corrosion resistance.
Special reminder: There are some inferior substrates on the market, which are made of garbage aluminum, recycled aluminum or soil aluminum. This kind of aluminum gusset plate base material is low in price, high in hardness, and has a certain thickness, which is very deceptive.
In small markets, you can often hear salesmen say: “Of course, the thicker the gusset, the better. Look at how thick our gusset is…” In fact, the thicker the aluminum gusset, the better. Yuanzhou Research and Procurement Department Manager Cui Jian explained that the thickness is the guarantee of the hardness of the gusset. If the hardness is not enough, the gusset will be deformed; but the gusset with a thickness of 0.6 mm or 0.7 mm in home decoration is completely sufficient. No matter how thick it is.
There are four types of surface treatment
There are many surface treatment methods for aluminum gussets on the market, such as roller coating, film coating, baking paint, wire drawing, etc.
According to reports, the aluminum gusset plate coated with roller coating is bright in color, but it is only plain, and it is relatively stained with oily smoke, which is relatively difficult to take care of; the film is covered with a layer of film on the gusset plate, and the color is directly reflected on the film, and the color is lighter . There are two types of this film, imported and domestic, and its thickness also affects the service life of the aluminum gusset. Wire drawing is a kind of pattern processing method, which is relatively beautiful.
Special reminder: If the cut surface is clean and neat, it means that the quality of the film is good; if there is jaggedness, the quality of the film is relatively poor.
Other decorative ceilings
glass ceiling
Generally, stained glass is used for ceiling decoration, and light sources can be placed inside to increase the aesthetic effect. It is mostly used for partial ceilings and requires the pursuit of certain artistic effects.
plasterboard ceiling
The suspended ceiling decorative panel made of gypsum board has a general size of 500 mm x 500 mm and 600 mm x 600 mm. It has good sound absorption effect, fire resistance and flame retardancy, but it is prone to blistering and discoloration over time. It is mostly used for public installation, and a new type of waterproof gypsum board ceiling is currently not popular in the home improvement market.
PVC board ceiling: a commonly used ceiling material, it is low in cost, diverse in color, easy to clean, and convenient to pave, but it is mostly eliminated at present.
Integrated ceiling
There are many integrated ceilings on the market at present. Integrated ceiling integrates lamps, exhaust fans, Yuba and other products in one ceiling, and is generally promoted by an authoritative manufacturer of a certain product, integrating design, service, installation, etc., product quality is guaranteed, and the top surface of the space The design can effectively separate the space according to the functional division of the room, allowing the light source to play its role in the most limited range. Compared with ordinary ceilings, integrated ceilings are beautiful, stylish and very effective.
Use your eyes and hands to pick the right ingredients
Since consumers basically cannot see the test report of the ceiling material, they can only choose the ceiling according to their own opinion. Cui Jian suggested that consumers have to do it themselves to pick good materials.
“When purchasing an aluminum gusset ceiling, you need to look at the aluminum, film, and backing. Check the quality of the aluminum gusset from these three aspects.” She said, first of all, check the material of the aluminum, because it is difficult for ordinary consumers to see the quality of the aluminum gusset. It is recommended that consumers look at the hardness of the gusset plate by themselves, and then check whether the paint surface is smooth, without burrs, and with or without color difference.
Secondly, it depends on the film. Consumers can pull the edge of the gusset. If there is a phenomenon of filming, it means that the film is not tightly bonded to the gusset; thirdly, look at the back (the back of the gusset), which is used by many consumers. A neglected part. The back cover generally needs to be treated with anti-corrosion treatment, and you can pick it out with your hands. If the back cover can be removed, it means that its material is not good; and generally regular manufacturers will spray-paint the manufacturer’s logo and production date on the back cover. Consumers can also identify good or bad products. If there are all, it means that it is the mechanized production of regular manufacturers, which is different from small workshops, and the quality is relatively guaranteed.
Finally, experts recommend opting for branded products. “Brand products are relatively standardized in terms of quality and service, and they are more guaranteed.” To choose a good product, you have to carefully observe and pinch it yourself.
