We've just moved into a new house, which has recently had a new bathroom installed.
The bathroom walls are finished in the plastic panelling stuff which seems fine, but they appear to have also installed a false ceiling from a similar plastic moulding that looks sort of like this:

Which is installed about 6-8" below the original ceiling height.
The issue with it, is that the ceiling isnt attached to the walls properly, theres essentially a gap of a few mm's round all the edges, and i'm concerned that steam/moisture from the bathroom will find its way into the void above the plastic ceiling and cause problems over the longer term.
How exactly are these PVC ceilings supposed to be installed?
