The final stage of installation of stretch ceilings is the fixing of the plinth, without this decorative detail, which disguises the gap, the appearance of the room will always seem incomplete.

The disadvantage of such fillets is their fragility, it is impossible to bend the foam plastic and it is necessary to saw the material, and then putty cut the cut. This material burns with the release of bad substances, which also stops many potential buyers in the choice of foam plastic decorative products.
- Polyurethane plinth . If the room has many rounded elements, then it is difficult to work with foam plastic, you can replace it with polyurethane skirting boards that are perfectly bent. This material is not destroyed by the action of reagents, paints, other compounds, it can be glued with any composition. Confuses buyers often the price for this type of ceiling skirting for stretch ceilings, it is much higher than that of competitors. The second point - the weight of long polyurethane fillets is much larger than plastic or foam plastic, so they bend during installation. Strengthen them more carefully and reliably, so as not to create a gap in the bend.
- Plastic skirting board . Excellent properties have a light and strong plastic fillet, it is able to perfectly simulate metal, wood, elegant stucco, which makes it a favorite of the market. To distinguish from expensive finishing plastic skirting in the distance is impossible.

Indeed, gypsum has a good plasticity and from it you can make any fanciful decorative elements. It is eco-friendly, does not burn, its durability has been tested for centuries. The disadvantage of such elements is their rather high weight, as well as their fragility, when falling, the gypsum decoration is broken up into parts.
