In addition, the PVC material will cost you less than fabric stretch ceilings, which can also serve as a tangible plus in his favor.

There are only two exceptions to PVC ceilings - this is the risk of deformation if the room temperature falls below zero( which is very unlikely for a bathroom) and the risk of sagging if the surface gets too hot( this can be avoided by using the right lamps for stretch ceilings).

Separate matt and glossy PVC material, both of which are suitable for placement in the bathroom, and the choice depends only on the style that you want to create indoors, as well as its shape.

If the size of the bathroom is small, for example, it is divided with a toilet, it is better to choose a glossy coating, becauseIt will be able to visually increase the space, provided that you correctly select the fixtures.

You can experiment with a glossy surface: for example, give your ceiling a starry sky effect. It is created by placing the fixtures for the material, and not from the outside.

Frosted ceiling is more suitable for living rooms - bedroom or nursery, but can be used in the bathroom, if you come up with how to effectively fit it into the interior.

Types of PVC ceilings for the bathroom are very diverse: they can be of different colors and designs, although the most popular is still white.

However, nice in the bathroom and look calm pastel shades - they also help increase space.

Dark colors are best used only if the room size allows, otherwise the bathroom room will seem very small.

It's better not to use dark colors for low ceilings, becausethey will make the ceiling even lower, and as a result the bathroom will look like a box.

Before choosing a material, it is better to select several variants of the stretch ceiling design in the photo before proceeding with the repair and installation of the room.
