Kitchen is the place where steam and fat poise in the air but may be so thin that you can’t see or feel it at all.
However, these steams leave ugly marks in case you have a white ceiling. That is why a ceiling should be made of material that is easily cleanable or where the stains would not be glaring.
Another trait of character of the kitchen is that it must have smoke detectors and proper ventilation. While installing ceiling panels, also take a moment to figure out where you want to put the smoke and heat detectors so that they would come in use when necessary but would not start an alarm over minor steams, such as small puff of warm air that comes from the oven when you open it while baking something.
Therefore, it is smart idea to put these detectors away from the direct heat source but in minimum distance, so that in case of an accident, help would arrive before serious damage.
When talking about ceilings, there are also many materials that may be chosen for this occasion, for example fireproof magnesium boards are good choice because of their fire resistance and dark colour (so that steam stains will not appear). Still, it might not be best solution to a country-house. The material still depends on the style of the kitchen.
