Now the most convenient and popular way of designing ceilings is the installation of stretch structures. Such ceilings have undeniable advantages, which will be discussed later.
Some consumers consider stretch ceilings too expensive and difficult to install. Indeed, they cannot be mounted on their own, so you have to invite specialists. But such a ceiling will always look neat, and when installing it, you will not need to align the base. Therefore, after installation in the room there will not be a lot of dust, so the furniture can not be taken out, but simply covered with a film.
Despite the high cost of such structures, they are an extremely profitable decoration option, since they do not require special care and can regularly serve for about 20 years, without being in need of repair. In addition, suspended film ceilings reliably protect the expensive interior from possible flooding with the upper neighbors.
It is important to consider that stretch ceilings from the film are not suitable for decorating unheated rooms – balconies, premises in country houses that are not heated in winter. PVC does not have frost resistance and can crack.
When installing stretch structures, a frame or baguette is used, which are fixed on the wall or base ceiling. The film is heated by a heat gun and pulled onto the frame. Thus, a perfectly smooth surface is created, which outwardly does not differ from traditional hard coatings.
The advantages of stretch ceilings
– The speed of installation. Of course, professionals should install such structures, although the installation itself is quite simple.
– The widest opportunities for installing lighting systems, lighting devices.
– The possibility of making multi -level ceilings. The technology allows you to perform elegant ceilings with several levels and various shapes, with inclined surfaces.
– The durability of the material. Film and fabric ceilings do not dry out, do not exfoliate and do not lose their color for many years.
– High resistance to moisture. If the upper neighbors have a leak of water, your stretch ceilings will be able to withstand hundreds of liters of water. The ceiling itself will not suffer, since after removing the water (specialists do this), the material acquires the original form. Stretch film ceilings are suitable for bathrooms, as they are immune to moisture.
Important advantages of suspended ceilings are also environmental friendliness, the possibility of using in children’s rooms and bedrooms, the ability to install alarm, ventilation, air conditioning and fire extinguishing systems inside the ceiling, as well as electrical wiring.
