Price and estimate installation of a false ceiling

The installation of a false ceiling in a room is a relatively simple and quick arrangement to achieve as part of an interior design. Ideal for hiding an unsightly ceiling or one covered with pipes or cracks, to better insulate your home, to integrate elegant lights or to reduce too high a ceiling height, there are two types to meet your needs.

What price should you consider depending on the type of false ceiling chosen?

There are two categories of false ceilings:the stretch ceiling and the suspended false ceiling.

• The suspended ceiling :the suspended ceiling is a rigid false ceiling. Its facing is fixed on a metal frame, itself fixed to the original ceiling. This traditional model uses many types of materials, such as plasterboard, wood, PVC or aluminum. Simple to set up, it has the advantage of reinforcing the insulation of the room and bringing an original aesthetic note if you want to play on volumes and shapes. For this model, allow 6 to 10 euros per square meter.
• The stretch ceiling :unlike the previous model, this type of false ceiling is flexible, since it is a fabric stretched until it is perfectly smooth, but the tension makes it lose this flexibility, like a classic ceiling . This elegant and very contemporary solution is attracting more and more individuals, because its pleasant design is combined with its ease of installation. Easy to maintain, it is resistant to humidity. The canvas is stretched between cornices, therefore the price of the installation will be proportional to the complexity of your ceiling. The more angular it is, the more expensive the installation will be. For this type of false ceiling, count 15 to 70 euros per square meter.
