One. Should the wall panel or ceiling be installed first?
Renovation is different from construction; construction is built from the bottom up, while renovation is done from the top down. Therefore, it's common to first install the ceiling and then install wall coverings. The reason is that if you install the wall coverings first, it's easy to damage the wall coverings when installing the ceiling, which can damage the newly installed materials.
II.Wall coveringHow to treat the joint between the ceiling and the wall?
1、Install the guide rails.
Consider using jointing strips to conceal this joint. Jointing strips are available in various materials and colors, so you can choose one that matches your desired aesthetic. Alternatively, you can opt for a simple, silver-colored T-shaped jointing strip, which offers a clean and cost-effective solution.
2、Apply joint filler
In addition to installing jointing strips, we can also use jointing compound to conceal this joint. However, I would like to remind everyone that jointing compound is a chemical substance, and there may be formaldehyde emissions after use. Therefore, it is necessary to open windows for ventilation after use.
3、Install the gypsum line.
Applying a gypsum line is also a good option. The style of the gypsum line can be referenced from baseboards, which will create a more harmonious look. However, this method is not only expensive but also makes the wall appear shorter.
