Waterproofing Performance Comparison: Choosing materials for humid environments is like choosing a raincoat for your house-PVC ceilings are inherently waterproof. Their plastic material doesn't deform or mold when wet, making them particularly suitable for bathrooms, kitchens, and other areas frequently exposed to moisture. While gypsum board ceilings undergo moisture-proofing treatment, they may still warp at the edges in environments with humidity exceeding 70% over time, requiring the use of waterproof coatings to enhance protection.
Design Freedom: Want complex ceiling designs? Gypsum board is like modeling clay in the construction world; it can be cut and layered to create curved, multi-level, and other three-dimensional structures. Later, patterns can be carved or embossed. PVC ceilings, limited by their modular nature, are typically limited to flat and simple textured designs, but modern techniques can now mimic rich surface effects such as wood grain and marble.
Construction and Maintenance Costs: PVC ceilings use a snap-fit installation method. A skilled worker can complete the installation of a 15㎡ space in half a day, and damaged individual panels can be replaced independently. Plasterboard requires multiple steps, including a keel frame, puttying, and painting, making the construction period three times longer. However, its advantage lies in the ability to achieve completely seamless joints. For daily cleaning, PVC can be wiped with a damp cloth, while plasterboard requires avoiding vigorous rubbing of the surface coating.
