However, if you have not worked with PVC film before, this can be quite problematic. In addition to standard colors, you can now buy a suspended ceiling with a pattern - photo printing.

Prices for suspended ceilings also vary depending on the region, although now manufacturers of suspended ceilings in large cities try to lower their product prices.

The most expensive manufacturers of suspended ceilings are Germany, France and Belgium. Switzerland and Italy have more affordable prices, followed by Russian and Ukrainian manufacturers. The last place is occupied by China.

The cheapest option for a suspended ceiling is matte, followed by glossy (looks like a mirror, reflects interior items and light), and the most expensive suspended ceilings are those with metallic effects, complex starry sky ceilings with built-in LED lights and hidden lighting.
