How do aluminum slat ceilings perform under high humidity compared to plasterboard?

Regions like Dushanbe and southern Russia endure seasonal humidity peaks above 90%, challenging interior finishes. Plasterboard ceilings absorb moisture, leading to swelling, loss of rigidity, and potential mold growth after sustained exposure. Conversely, aluminum slat ceilings are impervious to water—intrinsic hydrophobicity and factory-applied anti-corrosion coatings ensure panel stability. Even in spa complexes in Bishkek, metal slats maintain flatness and adhesion, preventing unsightly warping common in plaster systems. The structural grid remains unaffected by moisture, ensuring long-term suspension integrity. Indoor air quality benefits from reduced mold risk, crucial for schools in Tashkent. Overall, aluminum slat ceilings offer a robust, moisture-immune solution superior to any plasterboard alternative in Central Asia’s humid environments.
