How to sheathe the ceiling
For finishing the ceiling, you can use various types of wood, polycarbonate, siding (with the exception of heavy). An excellent option for a ceiling covering in an extension is a wicker surface.
The following materials can be used:
- Lining. The use of such a lining for the ceiling is no different from covering vertical surfaces. In addition, the combination of this material in the ceiling and wall covering will create a complete design look. To add some zest, the lining on the ceiling can be laid, for example, diagonally, and on the walls - horizontally or vertically. For ceiling covering, a board with a thickness of up to 0.7 cm is used due to its lighter weight.
- Plastic. PVC panels are ideal for ceiling covering due to the low weight of the material, its versatility, ease of installation and the ability to align ceilings without unnecessary hassle and cost. Such panels are mounted in the same way as they are done on the walls.
- Polycarbonate. In addition to all the previously described advantages of the material, its use as a ceiling covering has one more advantage - transparency. You can choose a material of any color that partially transmits the sun's rays. In this case, there will be light shading on the terrace, while there is enough light for a comfortable pastime.
- Braided cover. Such a surface will add a touch of country style to the interior. The veranda, whose ceiling is made in a similar vein, will resemble a cozy country bungalow. Such a ceiling is made of thin plywood (3-4 mm) or veneer. To do this, the sheet is dissolved into strips (5-15 cm) and intertwined with each other. The edges of such a mat are lined with a transverse tape of the same material. The coating itself is attached to transverse wooden beams using slate nails.
Today on the market there is a large selection of materials for cladding the inner perimeter of the veranda. There are a huge number of options for floor and ceiling coverings. Materials are presented in the widest price range: both budget options and premium ones.
