Filigrandecke or exposed concrete

Good morning everyone

The decision about the ceilings is pending. I really like the look of exposed concrete.

Unfortunately, exposed concrete ceilings are quite expensive and I am considering installing the precast hollow-core slab ceiling instead.

Do you have any ideas on how to visually enhance the precast hollow-core slab ceiling?

Best regards
Wolfgang

Plastering

Then I'll join in: Wallpapering!

In summary: First plaster, then paint or wallpaper.

Otherwise, just let the ceiling dry normally, get a sanding machine and sand, sand finer and then polish. However, this is a messy job for you or expensive if you have it done.

The ceiling itself is rather cheaper than the [Filigrandecke].

Thank you for your answers, I want to avoid plastering and painting and wallpapering is out of the question.....

According to the offer from several shell builders, the in-situ concrete ceiling costs considerably more than the precast ceiling.

Any more ideas?

Have a nice evening,

Yes. How about a stretch ceiling? Looks good. However, it also costs a bit.

You won't get around the work unless you pay a craftsman.

Alternatively, a wooden ceiling, paneling, or something similar would be an option. However, that's not everyone's taste.
