In budgetary interiors, instead of the traditional plaster molding from gypsum, polystyrene or polyurethane is universally used. Synthetic substitutes of natural stucco are bribed with low cost, and the most successful samples have very good characteristics and design. But you will always have to confine yourself to the assortment that will be on store shelves. Although the choice of products is becoming wider, for connoisseurs of non-standard approach, there are always difficulties in finding the required sample, because the architecture of each living space is very different. Therefore it is the ceiling cornices made of gypsum that will allow the owners of the house to embody the most bizarre designer fantasies.
Advantages of decorative stucco molding and cornices from gypsum
There are several types of gypsum cornices for decorating rooms:
- smooth ceiling skirting boards;
- molded cornices with ornament;
- cornices for curtains made of gypsum.
Advantages of gypsum are manifested not only in the possibility of making samples with non-standard dimensions and relief, but also in the characteristics of natural material. For example, many brands of polyurethane change color under the influence of solar radiation, decompose on contact with alkaline or acid solutions. With gypsum, this does not happen, in addition it is safe, able to give or absorb moisture from the atmosphere ("breathe"). This material does not burn, does not shrink, does not require special adhesives or sealant, which complicate the painting. The lack of plaster decoration - a lot of weight and considerable cost, which often repels potential buyers with a small budget.
Choosing a cornice made of gypsum
In a high room, you can use products of a wide variety of widths and designs, even massive patterns with a chic embossed pattern and any three-dimensional ornament. But if the floor to ceiling is 3 meters, it is better not to exceed the height of the decorative strip of 10 cm, which has always been considered a "golden mean".
When you are having difficulty choosing an ornament, it is better to buy universal specimens having several longitudinal grooves and a concave middle section. For art deco , modern , neoclassical styles geometric figures in the form of repeating harnesses, alternating hemispheres, other simple elements will do. In the classics, vegetable motifs are often used, but such gypsum cornices look spectacular only in a high hall, bedroom or other room.
