If you think about what the objectives of the installation of tension ceilings, it can be understood that this is easy to install and operate. Of course, this is also the availability of installation work to anyone who wants to install a two-level stretch ceiling in a modern apartment. This takes into account such a factor that the volume of the room after installing the ceiling will not decrease significantly. How to make a quality installation yourself?

Stretched two-level ceiling is real
Innovative technologies of the construction industry provide new construction materials every year. The unsurpassed leader of the decorative design of premises can be called a polyvinylchloride film (PVC).
Stylish and respectable stretch ceiling made of PVC decisively solves the problem of fast and high-quality renovation of the ceiling surface. Any ideas on the prestigious modernization of the interior of premises are realized in reality due to the variety of textural and color solutions. Do you want to become the owner of a stretch ceiling two-level? Discard unnecessary doubts and discover the features of ceiling installation, which will answer the question: "How to install a two-level stretch ceiling with your hands".
Installation of a two-level ceiling tension
Installation of this type of ceiling is carried out in several stages. At the initial stage, the frame of the structure is assembled, to which the canvas will be attached in the future. In the second stage, installation of the stretch ceiling fabric initially lower level, and then the upper level.
Installation of the ceiling eliminates dirty and dusty work, because the technology simply does not provide for them.
Installation of the ceiling tensioning system, and the fact that such a design represents the system should not be doubted, has a certain sequence of actions, which is called "mounting features".
Features of the technology of tension two-level ceilings are the use of special fastening elements of the system and ways of fixing the decorative film. And now it's all in order.
The main elements of the stretch ceiling system
Profile
The main fastening element is a plastic or aluminum baguette (profile). The profile is necessary for the secure attachment of the ceiling film to the frame or ceiling. There are baguettes of the following types:
• ceiling
• Wall-mounted
• Connecting.
The length of one baguette profile is 2.5 m. The profile is placed along the perimeter of the room at a height that depends on the chosen configuration of the two-level ceilings. The versatility of the profile can be called the possibility of mounting on virtually any work surface:
• Drywall
• metal
• Wooden
• brick
• tiled
• concrete.
In the photo of the kitchen or the hall, two-level stretch ceilings look attractive, like in the living room. This suggests that installation of stretch ceilings of two-level can be made in almost any room.
Cloth
The tensioning sheet can consist of several pieces of PVC film, welded together by means of special soldering irons. Cloth - PVC film have heat and noise insulation properties, fireproof, which allows you to mount the canvas even in the kitchen.
At the perimeter, the tension web is fixed to the installed profiles by several methods during installation. Methods of fixing the stretch ceiling are as follows:
• Wedge
• Harpoon
• glazing bead.
Fastening of a cloth
Before starting the installation and installation of a two-level tension ceiling, you need to determine the method of attaching the blade, because this is a painstaking enough and specific work.
By the way, two-level stretch ceilings, photos of which can be found on the Internet, do not provide information on the method of installation.
However, professional masters who install suspended ceilings prefer to use the harpoon method of installation. At the edges of the ceiling film, a harpoon, hook-shaped, is welded on special equipment. On the installed metal profile, the harpoon mounting snap hooks, the stretch ceiling stretches on such hooks.
In contrast to the wedge or staple mounting methods, where painstaking manual work is required to put the film under the cover, the harpoon method is simpler.
The cover is a decorative insert that covers an installation gap of about 4 mm wide between the wall and the ceiling sheet.
The classic formula for the success of installing a multi-level stretch ceiling is to comply with the technology of work.
And now we move from theory to practice.
How to install your own two-level stretch ceiling
We remove the dimensions and prepare a sketch of the stretch ceiling for the room with the exact location of the lighting fixtures. We choose the material of the film or from the fabric and we cut the workpiece of the future ceiling.
On the perimeter of the room we establish a profile - a baguette.
Fastening is carried out according to the "dowel-nail" system. After the installation of the baguette, we determine and mark the intended location of the lighting devices.
It is necessary to take into account the maximum power of recessed luminaires. Recall that the use of built-in luminaires with a power of more than 50 W is not recommended because of the possibility of heating the film and the possibility of subsequent loss of elastic qualities.
Prepare the ceiling liner from the required number of strips according to the dimensions. The web tension should be started from the corners and the lower level. Angular suspensions are used to fix the cloth. For better tension of the canvas, it is heated using a heat gun up to 70 degrees. Now the canvas becomes elastic and pliable, so you need to hurry to establish the first level.
Likewise, the second level of the ceiling system is stretched. After the final tension of the ceiling cloth of two levels, the structure is made with holes for installation of lighting equipment or instruments. Fastening of fixtures is carried out with the help of latches, which are located inside the structure.
The final stage of installation of a tension ceiling of a two-level is the installation of decorative cornices. More detailed and detailed information about the installation of the ceiling system by the hands can be found in the video.
