Tension ceilings types of materials
Stretch ceiling is very beautiful and durable.
Due to a wide variety of materials they are made from:
- PVC film;
- tissue.
Also, depending on the width of the material, the ceiling can be seamless and with a seam. The second option is more typical for the film, because her canvases do not have a large width. Now there are manufacturers offering PVC film up to 5 m wide. Another worth paying attention and the method of fixing the ceiling.
There are two types:
- Cold -this type of installation is used for models made of fabric. It is comparable to the tension of the canvas on the frame of the canvas, while the material is stretched for a couple of cm.
- Hot - the name speaks for itself. The canvas is heated with building guns up to 60 degrees (this method is used for a film). The material becomes very plastic and it is stretched to the size of the room. After that, the film cools and stretches, taking its final shape.
The ceiling is mounted in a short time. To walls under the ceiling, a film or cloth is attached using a special system consisting of a harpoon (semi-rigid ceiling fringing) and a baguette (fixed on the walls around the perimeter of the room). Fastening turns out strong and rather durable.
Design of stretch ceilings
The most common technique is drawing a picture on the ceiling sheet. For example, very fine looking branches with roses, located around the chandelier. This quiet image will bring a touch of romanticism into the interior.
You can also decorate your ceiling with a picture of a great artist. Such material will be the final link in the classical interior. It will emphasize its luxury and greatness.
Designers constantly come up with something new. Not bypassed these trends and stretch ceilings. Recently, ceilings with holes are very popular. They are made of two layers of film, one is placed above the other. The holes in the lowest layer of the film are cut out according to the template. For example, the ceiling in the children's room with a path of holes from the corner to the center. The main ceiling has a rich green color, which is in harmony with the wallpaper. On top of it stretched a film of white color, it is in it that the holes are made. And in the first layer of the ceiling can provide lighting, and including it in the evening will create a fabulous atmosphere. This is very like a child.
Types of stretch ceilings
Depending on the material of the manufacture, the ceilings can be fabric or film. For the production of a film ceiling, polyvinyl chloride is used. Of course, such a ceiling is more difficult to install and has less strength than a fabric analogue, but a rich palette of colors make it popular with consumers. Recently, fabric ceilings are gaining popularity, more simple to install and more reliable. Let's talk about them in more detail.
fabric stretch ceilings
Hearing the phrase "stretch ceiling", many of us represent a film that is mounted in a preheated form. About fabric models are not so much known.
Let's try to consider the fabric appearance of the stretch ceiling in more detail, evaluate its merits and demerits.
To positive features of a fabric ceiling it is possible to carry:
- Installation without heating the linen. It is elastic in itself, and somewhat resembles the fabric of women's pantyhose. A well-stretched fabric hides all the ceiling structures.
- Ventilation. The mesh structure of the material promotes good air exchange between the room and the ceiling.
- Resistance to temperature fluctuations without loss of shape.
To the negative sides it is fashionable to attribute the following:
- They can not hold water in case of flooding the apartment from above.
- When installing without heating, the distance between the ceiling and the structure for attaching the blade is greater than in the case of a film ceiling. Therefore, for small apartments is not suitable.
- Lean color palette. Her, if desired, such a ceiling can be painted or painted with special paints.
Another worth noting is the higher cost compared to PVC analogs. The price can be from 800 rubles per square meter. m., in contrast to the film with a cost of 300 to 700 rubles per sq.m. here it is up to you to decide on the ceiling of what material to order in your house.
Colors of stretch ceilings
The color palette of ceilings is very diverse. By order can produce a canvas of any color, with or without an image.
But still, when choosing a ceiling in your home you need to be guided by the following rules:
- With a low ceiling height, the floor in the room should be darker than the ceiling, the walls should be better decorated with an average shade between them. This will help visually increase the height of the room.
- In rooms with excessively high ceiling, it is better to make it darker, which visually make it lower.
- In shaded or poorly illuminated rooms for walls and ceilings, it is best to use warm and bright colors. Such a color scheme will always cheer up.
Also, according to the color scheme, the ceilings can be divided into two groups:
- matte;
- glossy.
Let's consider each of the options in more detail.
matt tension ceilings
Choosing the material for the ceiling, many people choose the film, but then another question arises, which one is preferable to matte or glossy. We will become acquainted with the pros and cons of opaque coatings. This material is easy to care for, on the surface there are no stains after washing. And most importantly, dust will not settle on them due to antistatic coating. This ceiling is perfect for any room in the house and will not be distracting yourself, and the ceiling will be ideal. The main advantage of a matte film is the ability to apply any image using the photographic method. Thanks to this you can revitalize the interior. In general, the matte ceiling creates a calm and cozy atmosphere in the room. And the biggest advantage is the low cost, about 500-1100 rubles per square meter, in comparison with glossy analogues. For example, in the room of the wall which are made in different shades of beige, the matte ceiling is an excellent solution. It complements the entire interior and does not divert attention from the rest of the decor and interior items.
glossy stretch ceilings
Of course, the glossy ceiling will cost more, but this will be compensated by the rich choice of color and the aesthetic side of the material. The cost of a square meter is 500 - 1900 rubles. This coating perfectly reflects the light, thereby creating the illusion of a mirror on the ceiling. The room immediately acquires a different appearance, it becomes deeper and more spacious. Therefore, the glossy ceiling can be safely recommended to the owners of apartments with low ceilings, or for the design of small rooms (corridor, bath, kitchen). Objects of the interior, reflected in the ceiling, expand the space of the room. Which option to choose depends directly on your financial capabilities and the interior of the room. For rooms of a small area with high humidity, the glossy ceiling will be an excellent solution. For example, a bathroom in a beige - brown color scheme will appear larger and lighter with a glossy ceiling, rather than with a matte finish.
