This fairly cheap and simple finishing option is based on covering the panels with a special reflective film. These flexible strips or squares are attached to the ceiling using cement, glue, and sometimes screws. The surface of the ceiling under such panels must be well leveled, since the mirror surface, if uneven, will give a distorted image. Due to the good flexibility of mirror plastic panels, they can be successfully used on various curved surfaces. However, such material has fire hazardous properties. Therefore, it is not recommended for use in spot lighting of rooms.
Such mirrored ceilings are more suitable for large rooms: exhibition or gym halls, shopping centers or even swimming pools. Suspended ceiling panels can be perfectly combined with other suspension systems, such as plasterboard or glass.
