Choosing the right bathroom finishes is a daunting task. Increased humidity adversely affects the condition of the room, gradually leading to its complete disrepair. This is especially true for natural materials such as wood.
Very often, bathrooms have suspended ceilings. The casing in them is mounted on suspensions to a special frame and is not fixed to the base ceiling. Suspended ceiling systems include any type of structure that forms the gap between the casing and the base ceiling.
Bathrooms use rack systems. Such a ceiling coating has undeniable advantages. It allows you to mask the pipelines or electric cable passing through the base ceiling, hides the essential defects of the base - cracks, irregularities, delamination of the plaster.
The material for the plating of slatted ceilings can be various materials - aluminum, plastic and wood. The first two options are perfectly suited for use in conditions of high humidity in the bathroom. But wooden battens are not recommended to be installed, despite all its advantages over other materials.
Wood has the ability to excessively absorb moisture. Due to the constant process of changing the humidity of its structure, the material is deformed, loses its original shape. Deep cracks appear on its surface. In addition, wood has a low resistance to biological effects. For example, mold, mildew and rot. Insects can settle in wet wood.
Installation in the bathroom of a rack ceiling made of wood, is carried out in rare cases. For example, when solving unusual design problems, or in wooden houses, when such ceiling cladding corresponds to the overall interior design of the home.
The installation of a wooden slatted ceiling will entail very serious costs. The rail for such ceilings should be made of hardwood. It is most resistant to the negative effects of moisture. In addition, reiki will need to be repeatedly treated with antiseptic drugs and moisture-proofing compounds. A wooden ceiling will require periodic maintenance throughout the life of the unit. The tree will need to be coated with special varnishes or wax, supporting its moisture-proof treatment. However, even taking such measures, it will not be possible to completely protect the wooden ceiling from the damaging effects of high humidity.
