In the world of interior design, every detail matters. Ceilings, often overlooked, play a fundamental role in creating aesthetically pleasing and functionally efficient spaces. From their contribution to the overall aesthetics of a room to their structural importance, ceilings are key elements that deserve our attention and appreciation.

Also known as interior roofs, ceilings are surfaces that cover the top part of a room and provide an aesthetic finish. In addition to concealing structural elements such as beams and ducts, they can also accommodate lighting and ventilation systems.

They contribute to the ambiance by significantly influencing the perception of space. Higher ceilings can make a room feel more spacious and airy, while lower ceilings can create a more intimate and cozy atmosphere. Additionally, there is a wide range of design options available with different textures and finishes to suit any decorating style.

Placas San Francisco Ceilings.

At Placas San Francisco, we offer different installation systems: a fixed option ideal for homes, and a detachable one recommended for small and large businesses and industries. Thanks to their composition and unique technology in the market, our ceilings do not detach in case of breakage, do not warp or mark their joints, and are so lightweight that they provide greater structural rigidity without being heavy.

In addition to being decorative, this product is so solid due to its compounds that it has fundamental characteristics that distinguish it from the rest: it is non-combustible, preventing the spread of fire or any toxic gas; it regulates temperatures by functioning as a thermal insulator; it is anti-burst, making it more resistant; and it is a great acoustic insulator between floors, absorbing from 200 to 500 Hz.

Our ceilings are made of ceramic plaster, fiber, and other compounds that prevent the release of harmful substances such as asbestos. Additionally, they do not harbor fungi, dust, or bacteria, preventing respiratory diseases.

They do not need to be painted; their matte snow-white color is natural as they are formulated in bulk and remains for years thanks to not having electrostatic charge. And the best part is that they are installed in a day, avoiding costs, breakage, or painting in your space.

At Placas San Francisco, we offer a 10-year warranty for their non-combustible nature. Discover all our models.

With aesthetic criteria, ceilings can be strategically used to direct attention to specific areas of a room, such as a painting or furniture. Their details can help add visual interest and depth to spaces, while keeping the corners of your home, office, store, or factory ceiling free from moisture.
 

Whether opting for fixed or detachable ceilings like the ones we offer, it is important to consider the aesthetic and structural needs of each environment, also taking into account the unique characteristics of each type of ceiling.

With a variety of designs and options available, our ceilings offer a great opportunity to personalize and enhance any interior space, creating an environment that is functional, comfortable, and visually appealing.
 

In any of our stores, you will be able to see the ceilings we offer, and an advisor will help you choose the one that best suits your needs. What are you waiting for to give a functional design to your space?

Moisture on the walls is a challenge that goes beyond aesthetic and structural concerns: this silent enemy can impact the health of those who inhabit the space.

In this blog, we will delve into the problems caused by moisture and how addressing them in a timely manner not only protects the integrity of the home but also safeguards health and saves long-term costs.

Common problems caused by moisture.

Mold and black stains: Mold can appear on any surface and is a trigger for allergies and respiratory problems. Addressing moisture in a timely manner is crucial to prevent its proliferation.
 

Mites and fungi: These organisms not only dirty walls but can also affect belongings and create an unhealthy environment, especially harmful to those with allergies and respiratory issues.
 

Musty odor: Poorly ventilated areas, such as basements, garages, and closets, are prone to having a strong odor. This is not only unpleasant but also indicates the presence of moisture that, if not addressed in time, can lead to more serious problems.
 

Health issues: Mold, fungi, and mites from moisture can trigger allergies and respiratory problems, affecting primarily babies, the elderly, and individuals with health vulnerabilities.
 

Increased energy expenses: Humid environments make thermal regulation difficult, increasing heating and air conditioning costs. Maintaining an optimal and moisture-free environment is essential to avoid respiratory problems and save energy.
 

General deterioration of the home: Moisture affects paints, furniture, metals, and other objects. Without control, moisture can lead to expensive renovations and a loss of quality in household objects and furniture.

Where does moisture come from?

Filtration humidity: Arises from deficiencies in house insulation or deterioration of walls, leaking from the outside. Detecting drops on the ceiling, stains, or mold indicates the presence of this type of humidity.
 

Capillary humidity: Arises when water rises from the ground, especially affecting old or poorly insulated houses. Damp walls to the touch and the presence of mold on the floors are signs of capillary humidity.
 

Floods: Whether due to weather conditions or pipe breaks, floods require immediate action to prevent mold, unpleasant odors, and other problems.
 

Ambient humidity: Coastal areas and tropical climates favor more humid environments. Excess humidity affects thermal sensation and increases heating and cooling costs.
 

Condensation humidity: Occurs when the indoor temperature is significantly higher than the outdoor temperature. It occurs mainly near the coldest surfaces of a building: glass, metal enclosures, pipes, walls exposed to the exterior, and roofs.

Why prevent moisture?

1. Aesthetic preservation: Stains and mold on the walls are not only unsightly but also indicate an underlying problem. Addressing it in a timely manner preserves the home's aesthetics and avoids high costs.
 

2. Safeguarding respiratory health: Moisture on the walls promotes the growth of mold and mites, triggers of respiratory problems and allergies. Attacking and preventing moisture contributes to maintaining an environment free of harmful allergens.
 

3. Structural preservation: Moisture can compromise the structural integrity of the home. Addressing this issue in a timely manner is essential to prevent more serious damage, such as foundation and structural weakening.
 

4. Improvement of mental health: Living in a moisture-free space contributes to a healthier mental state. The elimination of concerns about the home's structure and visual relief from stain-free walls improves mental peace and emotional well-being.
 

5. Long-term economic savings: Early action against moisture protects the investment in properties and saves long-term costs. Preventive interventions and immediate repairs are more economical than the restorations that may be necessary if moisture persists.

By keeping the walls free of moisture, we protect not only the structure but also the belongings and health of those inhabiting the home.
