Mirror ceilings are a multifunctional design solution that not only decorates the room, but also allows it to improve its technical characteristics. Such a ceiling covering will hide any shortcomings not only of the ceiling itself, but also of the entire interior as a whole. Due to the fact that the use of mirrors still remains so common in ordinary residential premises, it remains unique in its own way and interesting for designers.
Mirrors with a transparent ornament on the ceiling make the interior more interesting.
Mirrors decorate the entire area of the ceiling, or some of its specific parts that are planned to be allocated. In addition, given the abundance of modern materials, mirrored ceilings can be stretched or made of polystyrene plates. Cassette slatted mirrored ceilings are very popular, but, of course, the classic mirror trim of the ceiling remains the most relevant.

Its installation is the easiest, since its basis is made by a special self-adhesive film, due to which adhesion to the ceiling surface occurs. Much less common polystyrene plates without self-adhesive base, in which case adhesive mixtures based on PVA are used. The layer of glue is applied very thin, so as not to weigh down the structure.
