The ceiling is the most ignored asset during a makeover of the home interior. Many contractors stress little about it. They throw in some lights and be done with it.
There is much more to ceilings and knowing more about them will help you stand out from the rest. False ceilings are a decent option, but today we are going to talk about something else, Tray Ceiling.
What Is A Tray Ceiling?
These were hugely popular earlier when the style of construction was different. It gained popularity because the ceiling was used to hide unnecessary vents and other fittings. The tray ceiling has a section that differs in height from the perimeter of the room. This difference can be a few inches or several feet. This nature has encouraged the tray ceiling to be also known as the inverted ceiling. It has a close resemblance to coffered ceilings but does not provide the acoustic advantage.
It has started making its comeback due to its ability to influence the style of any room. Installation requires professionals but is hassle-free. They are a perfect addition to large rooms or halls.
Let us go over a few advantages of installing this type of ceiling.
Advantages
Looks
A tray ceiling can transform how the room looks. The additional structure pulls attention to it as soon as anyone enters. The 3D-looking ceiling adds depth and style. In addition to that, the structure gives the impression of a higher ceiling. When done the right way, this can make the room appear bigger than it actually is.
Customizability
These are highly customizable. Different materials can be used to match the style and material of the house. The ceiling can then be painted or left in raw style as per client requirements.
This ability allows it to fit into any style. A simple white paint helps this to slot in with the minimalistic look. On the other hand, a gold finish with pendant lights to match can make the ceiling look classy.
Lighting
The additional layer of the ceiling can be used to take the lighting of the room to another level. Tube lighting running across the perimeter of the tray ceiling mimics the pleasant overhead lighting of a false ceiling.
Due to this being the focal point of the room, adding a chandelier or some other creative lighting will surely get you applause.
Disadvantages
As good as it is, this type of ceiling is not perfect for everyone.
Spacing
The inverted ceiling can turn out to be a disadvantage in small rooms. This will further decrease the available headroom, making the room cramped.
Injuries
Because of the height being involved, the installation process is injury-prone. However, this disadvantage can be nullified if you know how to deal with crashes on the worksite.
Knowing a few different types of styles will help you get more clients. These unique additions add value to your building design.
