Glutinous ceilings in the kitchen are made of expanded polystyrene tiles. This is the cheapest kind of decoration, which appeared not so long ago. Today, there are many different types of polystyrene panels for the ceiling. However, such a ceiling of the tiles is afraid of high temperatures, which often happens in the kitchen. On the tiles there are traces of various injuries. But the tile ceiling is more moisture-resistant in comparison with plastered. To mount such a ceiling is easy enough. For gluing tiles, do not carefully prepare and level the surface of the ceiling. You can decorate the finished ceiling with additional elements or paint individual elements of the tiles and get a beautiful ornament.
