Hi guys, can somebody tell me what is this ceiling This has been posted by Stewart, in my thread, I tried to contact him but no luck, no answer:incazzato:. I know this is pvc ceiling but do not know name of it or where to buy it. It doesnt look like v-groove ceiling. I like it as I can not see any joinst on it. Can anybody help me, please

They're PVC high gloss panels that come in 2.4 m lengths x 25 cm wide. I buy them from City Plumbing and they come in a pack of 4. The exact makers name escapes me but there are several makes online. I would avoid the cheeper one's as they usually arrive damaged and only buy the one's that come with a http://www.tradetiler.com/acatalog/universeal_grout_colour.html

Thank you Stewart, I tried to send you private message but didnt get any reply. You naughty :lol: Is it in real life that connection between the panels is almost invisible. Because when I looked on the picture I can not see it. It looks like one big panel.

When fitted properly, you should only see a hairline join.....

Ypu glue it to the ceiling i presume? What do you use to stick it mate?

 

[John Benton]

I've fitted this before and generally I would baton the ceiling again to make sure its level and then use a heavy duty staple gun to fix the panels on the tongues

I baton the ceiling out to be level then screw to the batons. The panels are tongue n groove.

How have you covered the screws?

Looks good by the way!

 

[Stewart]

The screws are hidden when the next panel is installed.....

don't suppose anybody could put a link on here of what they are and were to get them, got a customer who has seen them and would like me to look into it thanks.

I believe any fascia and soffit supplier. I know wicks do them as well. Also in t and g style and some other effects.
I have an omnico plastics supplier near me, might be a bit far for you to go but don't know if they have any other stores around the country.

I got mine for a customer from Trade Bathrooms in Castleford. It's not listed on their web-site but they do still sell it when I called them just now.

And what about downlights, I bought 35W halogen one and I read that I should be using LED lights as they do not emit so much heat and do not discolour cladding.
Anybody has some experiences.

My plumber has been fitting this to ceilings and also walls instead of tiles as I now live in Essex. I dont know what the longevity of it is like nor how long it will last in wet areas ie around baths and such like.

It seems to be taking off in the Alnwick where I used to live. I'm not keen on it though howver I am biased !

 

[afright]

I work for a pub chain who have pubs and hotels they get me to tile the ceilings in the kitchens but now they use these panels ,has done me right out of a job,some of the ceilings I was doing had 70 mtrs on them.

I doubt I could bring myself to instal a plastic covering anywhere in a home no matter how good it looks, how much does one of these ceilings cost to install in an average bathroom? You could get a Venetian marble ceiling for arround 300 that imo looks far better + its not plastic!

 

[Perry]

Yuk'!!!!!

 

[cam_low]

for that size it take an hour to install if running with the ceiling after finding the joists. silicon and screws. probs around £60 for the price I was getting it for but mine had chrome strips running through the centres.

charlie are you doing the venetian finish? did you go to mark wightman in the end mate

 

[vrytir]

Back to my question, can I use halogen 35W downlights or is it going to damaged the plastic?

hi kilty, had to go to London for the training last year (gold trowel)... Only place that teaches it using authentic materials, I believe there are other places that teach using the cheaper acrylics. Only done a few jobs now but with very good results, one more recently was a curved bar area gantry in an Indian restaurant! It's truly stunning stuff but can be very tricky to get right, I made some small mistakes but I'm learning from them.... You know about the Venetian then mate?

I wouldn't recommend halogen i've tested a 50w in a cut off before and it melted go for an 8w led bulb thats what we use they dont give off any heat and are bright not to cheap tho.

hi charlie,i had a chat with mark about it im not sure if he was getting involved with it as he knew someone who did it? sounds interesting though do you have any pictures of the jobs i could see?
