The era of multi-level ceilings today is in full bloom. Particularly bold and creative solutions have acquired the design of two-level tension ceilings. It is the ceilings with two levels with minimal lowering from the initial level that allow creating a magnificent design. What attracts ceilings of this type and how to install a two-level ceiling tension?

Types of two-level ceilings
Conditionally, multi-level and two-level ceilings in particular can be divided into categories:
• Straight lines
• Curvilinear
• with the presence of a niche for backlight illumination.
The simplest and most affordable solution can be called straight two-level ceilings. For this type of characteristic minimum and strict geometry, embodied in the design solutions.
Curved two-level ceilings, perhaps the most common proposal for the ceiling industry. Smooth and expressive forms of the ceiling make it possible to hide the defects of the ceiling, obligingly hiding them under spectacular textural designs. In addition to the traditional glossy and matte finish, the canvas can have the structure of wood, stone or metal.
The most difficult technology of manufacturing can be called stretch ceilings with a niche. Additional niche in this case performs a complex functional work: besides placing the backlighting, it successfully and concisely completes the design of the ceiling of the two-level tension.
Design of the ceiling of a two-level tension
Two-level ceilings stretch attracted the designer immediately. Agree that the bright and stretchable ceiling film is of great interest to designers.
Moreover, the obvious advantages for design can be called:
• possibility of zoning of the ceiling space
• the possibility of decorating any categories of ceilings
• design features.
Zoning of the ceiling space with the help of two-level ceilings can be carried out in some variants more advantageously, than for example by traditional partitions.
The impressive ceiling of the living room with a two-level stretch ceiling with embossed and pressed parts or arched vaults of a sophisticated configuration will create a magnificent design. The contour highlighting of the two-level tension ceilings is appropriate in the sleeping rooms.
It is not difficult to guess that the perfect type of ceiling tension two-level becomes available due to their design. What are the features of the design of the ceiling two-level tension?
The design of two-level ceilings tension
The classic single-level stretch ceiling represents the ideal straight plane of the web, stretched according to the rules on the mounting profile and fixed accordingly.
Two-tiered has a more complex design, which includes a ceiling cloth and frame elements. The basic design details include:
• delimiter
• Corner
• Bump stopper.
These elements are fixed on the base ceiling in a certain sequence. Initially, on the base ceiling using an aluminum thin tire fix the mounting corner. Then a separator is attached to the corner. In the separator with the help of flat devices fill the level of the blade. When going from one level to another, you need a bump.
The baffle and the fastening profile can have an internal or external curved radius. The percentage of bending is set at the marking stage for complex tensioning structures. The convenience of using a bump stop significantly simplifies the installation of the second level.
Having studied the design of the two-level ceiling tension and selecting the necessary material of the canvas, you can safely proceed with the installation.
Ceiling installation and installation
The installation and installation process can be divided into the following stages:
• marking the surface of walls and ceiling
• installation of the mounting profile
• Wiring installation
• installation and fixing of the base sheet
• installation of the second level of the ceiling
• installation of lighting devices
• installation of curtain rod and decorative elements.
preparation and marking of walls and ceilings
Preparatory stage when installing a two-level ceiling tension will consist in carrying out a thorough measurement of the walls and ceiling of the room. In order to determine the height of the structure, it is necessary to determine the line of the baguette. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the location and height of the built-in luminaires. The distance from the base sheet to the second level is 5 cm.
assembly of the main frame
For the main frame, you can use a U-shaped profile, plastic 0.6 mm. The frame must be placed strictly horizontally, so precise marking using the laser level and upholstery cord is necessary. A straight marking line will show the locations of the exact fixing of the profile.
For the mounting frame of two-level tension ceilings, the following construction is typical: the lower level is a gypsum board, and the top one is a ceiling cloth.
Option to install the second level of the stretch ceiling and without the use of gypsum board frame.
In this case the flexible Flext profile is used.
Step-by-step assembly and installation of a two-level ceiling on innovative technology using a flexible profile is presented in the video.
installation and installation of wiring
At the stage of installing the wiring, markings are made and the installed luminaires are subsequently installed. For this, the necessary fastening structures and holders are installed.
installation and fixing of the base sheet
The main point is to fix and fix the stretch ceiling cloth in the baguette. Pre-prepared and cut the canvas straightened and fixed at the corners of the room. To do this, use special mounting latch.
After technological warming up of the room, the film is stretched and filled with a special mounting device in the baguette. Similarly, a film of the second level of the ceiling is installed.
A distinctive characteristic of the form of a two-level stretch ceiling is a smooth transition from the base level to the second one.
