Stretched fabric is the most promising material for the design of the ceiling space in an apartment or office. It provides a perfectly smooth surface, has high performance and durability. Installation of the stretch ceiling is possible in renovated rooms, it is performed for 2-3 hours, does not include wet processes and does not require cardinal permutation of furniture. Variety of textures and colors, multi-level structures, printing and use of special effects create unlimited opportunities For designer decisions. What can be better choose? When buying should be focused on the specifics of premises, personal preferences and financial capabilities.
For the manufacture of stretch ceilings is used:
The technical characteristics of materials are similar, but there are some differences that determine their area of \u200b\u200buse.
All fabric stretch ceilings have a matte texture. The reflective characteristics of PVC beverages vary in large limits: from 5 to 70%. What material to choose depends on the specifics of the room and the personal preferences of its owner.
Matte stretch ceilings
By appearance Matte ceilings are similar to flawlessly made plaster. Such reserved elegance prefer people of conservative views with a sophisticated taste. Matte ceilings are suitable for spacious, well-lit rooms. They are harmoniously combined with the interior in the classical style, columns, stucco, antiques. Wholes are most popular and low-colored pastel colors.
Glossy stretch ceilings
Glossy ceilings are appropriate when creating modern interiors. They are chosen by the active people seeking people. The material allows you to visually increase the size of the room and is suitable for small rooms. For glossy cloths, a large selection of colors are characteristic. Than saturated with a shade, the better the reflective qualities appear, so even the non-traditional black ceiling will not look gloomy and depressing.
The quality and price of stretch ceilings are largely determined by the manufacturer. On the market you can find products of European, Russian and Chinese production. Which one is better?
The canvas from Europe occupy the largest market segment. Manufacturers offer a wide range of glossy and matte ceilings of the highest quality, and modes are French companies. The cost of European products is significantly higher than Russian and Chinese counterparts.
Famous firms: Barrisol, Alkor Draka, Extenzo, Newmat, Clipso (France), Poliplast (Belgium), Renolit, Pongs, Descor, Lackfolie (Germany), Cerutti (Italy).
In Russia, the production of stretch ceilings is still weakly developed. The industry leader is Saros Design, founded production in Moscow in 1996. To date, the enterprise has production areas in a number of cities in Russia, Kiev, Narva, as well as Stuttgart. The company offers a web in a wide range of sizes and colors, carries out drawings, manufactures computer calculations on its own program.
Budget buyers can choose stretch ceilings manufactured by the Kazan plant of artificial leather and Ivanovo NIPIK. Enterprises produce a cloth with a width to 1.4 m in limited color gamma.
The spectrum of Chinese goods is traditionally heterogeneous. Here you can meet as materials that are not inferior to European counterparts and frank fakes. The industry leaders include companies: MSD, HALEAD, GLINE. Stretch ceilings from these manufacturers constitute a decent competition to world leaders, and cost much cheaper.
A wide color spectrum of stretch ceilings allows you to implement the most different design ideas. The appearance of the material has a serious psychological impact on households.
White color is traditional for cladding ceiling. It visually increases the height of the room, does not prescribe on the psyche, suitable for interiors performed in various styles. White, as well as nonsense pastel tones are appropriate in living rooms, corridors, bedrooms, kitchens and other rooms. If desired, diversify the appearance of a light matte ceiling can be applied to elegant photo printing.
Bright orange, blue, purple, green canvas are well suitable for children's rooms, fill their atmosphere of joy and energy. Saturated tones can be selected for the kitchen and the bathroom.
Bedroom is better to arrange in calm, romantic colors: beige, blue, pink.
Business Style Cabinet will emphasize the brown ceiling, but it should not be very dark and does not cause an oppressive mood.
Red color psychologists attributing a lot of qualities. On the one hand, this is the color of love and energy, on the other, it gives aggression. In the interior of the apartments, it is used in the form of small inserts.
Glossy dark purple, steel, black ceilings will give the originality of rooms with a large height. Dark canvases are often used to create the "Star Sky" effect.
In multi-level structures, textures and colors often combine, creating a stylistic effect on the contrast.
Each room in the apartment performs certain functions. The selection of the stretch ceiling for the living room, children's, kitchen and bathroom should be carried out with regard to their operational features.
The living room is the largest apartment. All family members spend considerable time here, so the design of the hall is paid to increased attention. For the design of the ceiling, any materials are suitable, the main thing is that their color and texture are harmoniously fit into the interior of the room. Preference is better to give universal calm tones that does not cause discomfort from any of the households.
For registration of the children's room, it is desirable to choose bright fabric cloths. The matte surface is more durable and eliminates the risk of damage to the ceiling by active children during games. A large plus is the presence in the tissue structure of micropores providing natural ventilation air.
Preparation of food is accompanied by steam-lifted by the ceiling and flax sedes on it. Here the best choice will be a glossy PVC cloth. It has high water repellent properties and is easily cleaned.
The operation of the bathroom is associated with temperature drops and high humidity. For her, a glossy film ceiling is suitable. The canvas easily transfers complex conditions and can withstand a significant amount of water when flooding from above. After eliminating the accident, it can be installed on the previous place. The glossy ceiling looks spectacular in small rooms, visually increasing the space.
Stretch ceilings are ideal for embedded lamps. When they choose, the operational features of the material and temperature limitations should be taken into account: when the normative indicators exceeding the normative indicators, the canvas will be sworn.
The use of classic tungsten spiral lamps in stretch structures has the greatest limitations associated with their high heating:
Incandescent lamps attract low price, but have a short service life: about 1000 hours.
When installing halogen lamps, the following standards should be observed:
Compared with incandescent lamps, they emit a brighter yellow spectrum light and have a resource of 2-4 thousand hours. Halogen lamps are better to use for the directional illumination of working areas.
LED lamps are practically not heated and no restrictions for installation. This is the optimal option for stretch ceilings. LED lamps can be chosen both as the main source of light and to create visual effects on matte, satin or glossy canvases. The lamps of this type are most economical, and their service life is about 5 years.
Installing in the house of the stretch ceiling can not be forgotten about other details of the interior. The unchanging design element is curtains for curtains. They are made of various materials. Structurally, the curtains are divided into wall and ceiling. The second look more presentable. The complexity is that the thin canvas is not designed to hang heavy structures. However, there are 2 ways to solve this problem. Eaves can be fixed open or hidden way.
Before installing the cloth to the overlap, a wooden bar is mounted in one level with guide profiles. It is better to choose solid wood. Before installing the bar, it is necessary to handle the antiseptic. After stretching the ceiling, the eaves are attached to the bruus through the film. Holes under the self-tapping screw should be burned so that the molten edges prevented further breaking the canvas.
With hidden mounting, the eaves are attached to the overlap above the level of the stretch ceiling. A bar or corner is installed next to it, for mounting the guide baguette. Operation should be performed before measurements. The design with the curtains falling out of the ceiling looks spectacular, harmoniously combining both with matte and glossy canvases.
Suspended ceilings allow you to create a stunning effect "Star Sky" in the apartment. Despite the high cost, this method of finishing a lot of supporters among lovers of progressive exclusive interiors.
For the home planetarium device, you will need:
Fiber fiber threads that the "stars" feature have a diameter of 0.25 mm. Collecting them in the beams can be created "shining" of various brightness. The threads can be outwarded through the cloth pierced in the right metas and trim the lurisen with it, but it is better to fix on the back side. In the second case, you should choose a subtle translucent material. The intensity of light will be less, but the overall picture will become realistic.
Fiber optic connectivity to the light generator. The equipment works autonomously and is not associated with the room lighting system. The most advanced model of projectors provide such effects as: attenuation and outbreaks of "stars", flickering and the movement of the "heavenly shine".
Additionally, the ceiling can be decorated with photo printing, Saint Pins Starpins, perform lED backlight Separate zones. SWAROVSKI crystals installed on the "Stars" will create a unique light scattering.
The "Starry Sky" effect is performed either on the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe ceiling, or in a separate area, combining it with light matte facilities.
"Parenting" stretch ceilings will help radically transform the appearance of the room and give it exclusivity. At the same time, the creation of the effect does not entail significant complications and rise in prices for work.
The designer plan is to create a light barrier, thanks to which there is a visual separation of the ceiling from the walls. He warks in the air. This effect is achieved through the use of a special profile, which provides for the groove for the placement of the LED tape. Otherwise, the installation is no different from the installation of a conventional stretch ceiling.
The effect is used in multi-level structures with a combination of matte and glossy canvases of different colors. Here you can create a "passing" of the upper or lower layers, depending on the direction of the luminous flux. In this case, various profiles are used, providing the necessary lighting angle. To create curvilinear surfaces, baguettes from flexible polymer materials are used.
LED tape works autonomously. It can be turned on and off regardless of the lighting system, replace, without affecting the ceiling structure. When buying, it is better to choose LEDs of small power, unless the tape is planned to be used as the main source of light in the room. Their light spectrum may be different. The effects of attenuation and overflow are also available.
In urban environments, stretch ceilings are installed everywhere: in apartments, offices, hotels, baths, entertainment facilities. But how are they are appropriate in a country house? Indeed, performance conditions are distinguished, which requires certain adjustments.
In the new house of the stretch ceiling can only be installed after its complete shrinkage.
To avoid unpleasant consequences before installing the ceilings, it is recommended to perform a number of events:
Thanks to the stretch ceilings in a private house, you can:
A large selection of matte and glossy canvases of various colors allows you to choose a cloth for any material of the walls.
The question of which ceilings it is better to do in the apartment, arises like the owners of comfortable private houses and the owners of the city housing, who decided to engage in the improvement of their possessions. Choosing a material for such a finish, it is necessary to consider the features of each of the premises.
For example, the bathroom has a specific humid microclimate. And in order to finish the ceiling in this room, it has come to complete disrepair in a couple of years, it must have appropriate characteristics. The kitchen also has its own characteristics, and not every facing material is suitable for it, as the ceiling will require regular care. For ceilings in residential premises, the most important quality is the ecological cleanliness of the finish, of course, along with decorative attractiveness.
If not so long ago common The types of ceiling finishes were whitewashed or staining with oil paint, today there are a very wide selection of a variety of materials in construction stores. And many of them are quite suitable for use in both wet rooms and in residential rooms with a normal microclimate.
So, materials that can be applied to finishing the ceilings of apartments, must meet certain requirements. Only by accepting these features into the calculation, you can get high-quality, durable, fully corresponding to a specific ceiling room.
Speaking, for example, the bathroom, the impact on the ceiling surface of constant wet evaporation is taken into account, the likelihood of direct drops of water is not forgotten. In addition, it is impossible to exclude a certain risk that your bathroom can flood the neighbors living in the floor above. Another feature of this room is often alternating temperature changes, which also adversely affect many finishing materials.
The decoration of the kitchen ceiling must be rack not only to moisture, but also evaporation with the content of fat and oils, as well as to elevated temperatures.
For other premises can be their own features.
It is best to immediately try to formulate some of the requirements that the ceilings in the room facilities should have.
So that you can decide on the choice of material for finishing the ceilings in the rooms of the apartment, it makes sense to consider the characteristics of the most popular modern materialsused for this purpose.
The varieties of ceilings can be divided by their base structures and for the material used for their manufacture and finish. So, the ceilings may have suspended and tension, past or painted different materials.
Suspended ceilings can be single-level or multi-level. In addition, ceiling surfaces that have several levels can be combined with tension structures.
Today, the most popular in designer developments can be called drywall ceilings, including multi-tiered with original backlit, and stretching surfaces. As the first and the second option, it is very difficult to mount yourself without having special skills and special equipment.
Bathrooms are most popular with plastic panels and stretched fabrics.
To select the material for finishing the ceiling in any of the rooms, it is necessary to calculate its height, and take into account the fact that some designs suggest its significant decrease. Therefore, in apartments with low ceilings arrangement suspended Systems It becomes always appropriate, as such ceilings will create a grace impression.
The standard of ceiling height in the apartments of the Soviet era is most often 2400 ÷ 2500 mm, in modern new buildings this parameter is sometimes increased to 3000 mm.
If the apartment has low ceilings, and they must be made visually higher, then it is worth choosing materials having a small thickness and fixed directly to the surface of the overlap, or those that have a reflective effect, for example, light stretch.
If the ceiling height is sufficiently high, it allows you to accommodate between the trim and overlapping heat or (s) soundproof material, disguise in this area, engineering communications - electrical wiring or ventilation channels.
Color design is also of great importance in order to visually lift the ceiling. There are several design techniques for this purpose:
stretch ceiling
We now turn to a more detailed consideration of the varieties of ceilings. This will make it much easier to determine the choice for specific apartments.
As mentioned above, one from the most popular options for cladding ceilings In various premises of the apartment in recent years, various types of suspended structures have become. With high-quality performance, they look quite well, and have a considerable amount of advantages.
TO winning qualities Ceiling trim having a suspended structure can be attributed to the following:
There are suspended ceilings and their own limitations who also need to know by stopping their choice on one of these options:
Suspended ceilings can be made from different materials and their design can be somewhat different with each other:
This design consists of panels made in the form of long panels or lining, which can be made of plastic, wood, steel or aluminum. Panels are fastened or with the necessary lumen on metal or wooden framefixed to the capital ceiling or (and) walls.
The frame can be fixed directly to the overlap or omitted for a certain distance from it. The last option is often chosen in cases where it is necessary to place communication under decorative cladding, or it is planned to install embedded luminaires.
hyposkarton
The framework parts, installed around the perimeter of the walls, are very often at the same time are decorative elements, as they give a neat appearance of the joint line.
As mentioned above, the rails or lining for cladding the ceiling are made from different material. In addition, they can be interconnected differently. Thus, an absolutely smooth overall surface can be formed with barely noticeable (and often - and not noticeable) Socket lines. Another option is a embossed lining with deepening along the entire length that other coloring is sometimes attached. And finally, the racked installation of panels is also practiced.
Plastic lining is distinguished by the following characteristics:
- high resistance to moisture;
- resistance to temperature changes;
- a small weight of a material that simplifies its installation;
- Easy to care for decoration;
- safety of material;
- long service life;
- finishing does not require additional coating with decorative materials throughout the entire period of operation;
- Affordable price price, allowing, if desired, change the finish without dismantling the frame structure.
Plastic panels produced different widths and with different surface structure. It can be matte, glossy, with an embossed pattern or metallized.
This material can be combined by color execution on the entire surface of the ceiling, or to highlight a specific color area of \u200b\u200bthe room. Frequently often in plastic monochrome lining gaps along the jacks decorated with a molding having a steel or gold color.
How to mount the ceiling from plastic panels
If, the choice fell on the plastic ceiling, then this work can be considered quite sat and for independent execution. You will need instructions for carrying out installation work, it is necessary to find in the article of our portal.
As you know, wood has numerous advantages, the main of which is the ecological purity of the material, aesthetic appearance, long service life, resistance to temperature change.
The disadvantage of this material is its hygroscopicity, therefore, if it is decided to decorate the natural lining bathroom, it will require reliable protection against moisture. For this purpose, the wooden panels are impregnated with antiseptic, natural oils or coated with special thermal wax. Such substances have moisture-repellent properties, and, creating a film on wood surface, reliably protect it from steam penetration.
A wooden board and a bedroom and a corridor will be a good option. In the bedroom, wood, due to its natural properties, will create a favorable microclimate and will allow the walls to "breathe." Especially such a ceiling will be appropriate in these rooms if the walls are also facing with natural wood.
The external coating of such a metal facing can be embossed or smooth, solid or perforated. Most often all types of metal panels, except for those that have perforations are used to clamp the ceiling of the bathroom. The perforated panels will not fit both for the bathroom and for the kitchen, as various evaporation will be collected in space between facing and overlapping, as a result of which an unpleasant smell appears in the room.
This material is well suitable for the ceiling of the hallway. Less likely apply metal material For residential rooms. But it is not excluded if such styles are chosen for their design design, such as High Tech.
Metallic finish option can have a different exterior coating - glossy, matte, polymer colored spraying, a mirror or imitating factory and wood color.
This material almost fully complies with the requirements for the decoration used in wet rooms:
- He absolutely does not absorb moisture and even repels it, so it will not be a nutrient medium for various bacteria.
- The metal does not secrete toxic substances into the environment, so the facing is quite clean, it is quite clean.
- material racks to temperature changes.
- Facing is calculated for a long service life, since the qualitatively manufactured panels changes its initial "commodity" appearance.
- The surface is easy to care for the surface, it can be wet cleaning with the use of household chemicals.
The disadvantage of steel panels is the need for mandatory processing of cutting of the rivers with an anti-corrosion composition, otherwise corrosion is capable of extending further. Aluminum products - have a fairly high cost.
plastic ceiling panels
This type of ceiling is a suspension design from panels made from different materials. It can be a matte or mirror glass, metal, plastic, hypusoloconne Lightweight plates or even moisture-resistant plasterboard. A fundamental difference - these panels (tiles) are stacked in cells of a suspended metal frame of a special design.
The framework of the modular ceiling is different in what is open. That is, his profiles are not designed to securing on they are panels with a fastener, and on the laying on top in formed Cells. This option of the suspended ceiling is much easier to mount, and repair, since any panel can always be replaced with a new one.
Frame guides under the modular ceiling is made of electric-channel steel or aluminum with a thickness of 0.4 ÷ 0.8 mm. Facial, that is, facing the surface of the metal profiles are covered with a protective-decorative polymer layer of different shades or a metallized paint composition. This makes it possible to pick up the colors of the frame and panels - the guides become a neat frame for decorative plates.
The classic example of such a design is the popular ceiling systems of Armstrong
This type of design can be applied to any of the rooms if it corresponds to it. design decision Its design.
Such panels give the ceiling underlined accuracy. In addition, many of them have perforation or special surface texture, which gives them a property of very effective noise insulation.
The cost of such panels will not call, and they are quite suitable for the category nude available metrics.
The reflecting surface of the mirror ceiling visually expands the space of a small room of a bath or hallway. In addition, the mirrored panels reflect the light, from lighting devices located on the walls of the room, significantly increasing their glow.
Panels of mirror ceilings are produced in different sizes and colors. They can be perfectly smooth or have various textures on their surface.
This velocity of the ceiling finish does not absorb moisture, it is easy to clean and retains its appearance for many years. Similar "glass" ceilings can be installed in the bathroom, hallway, and sometimes even in the living room.
suspended ceiling
Due to the fact that matte pseudo-glass Panels are made of acrylic, they have a very low weight, so they can be easily mounted independently and without fear. In addition, the acrylic ceiling is absolutely safe to operate - even when the panel falls from height, the panel will not disarm and will not cause serious injury. Smooth "glasses" are easy to clean, and they are resistant to various domestic hygienicExcept with the abrasive additives containing abrasive additives.
Dot lamps are embedded in cassette hanging films. In addition, manufacturers provide for the production of special lighting devices (luminous panels or fluorescent lamps), the dimensions of which exactly coincide with the sizes of the frame cells.
A solid ceiling cover is usually made in cases where it is necessary to level the surface of the main surface. At the same time, in the lumen between the overlapping and the facing, it is possible to put the insulating or sound insulation material.
A solid trim can be applied in any room apartment or at home. However, if it is installed in a wet room, that is, in the bathroom, bathroom or in the kitchen, then any of the facing materials used will need to be treated with antiseptic and primer compositions.
This design of the ceilings implies the presence of a frame that is attached to the overlap and is most often made of wooden bar or special galvanized metal profiles. For trim use glass magnets Sheets, Phaneur, Chipboard, OSP, but the greatest popularity in recent decades has conquered drywall.
This option of the ceiling is practically requires additional finishes. It will include sealing seams between sheets, impregnating primer compositions, and then painting or pasting with wallpaper.
Multi-tiered structures can be created on the ceiling on the ceiling, allowing you to place inside the wiring and backlight of any species. However, to mount this ceiling - not at all simply, and without any experience, the ability to work not only with plasterboard, but also with metal profiles, as well as without a predetermined project composed of the project, it is not worth it for this. Qualitatively cope with this work under the power of specialists. But if it is still decided to try your own capabilities, it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the technology of performing such installation work. We can provide informational support in this matter.
Want to try your hand in design and mounting the suspended multi-level ceiling of plasterboard?
If so, at first it is necessary to pass a brief theoretical course. Well, then, in work, strictly follow technological instructions. Both you will find in very detailed, literally to the smallest detail, publishing our portal.
Stretch ceilings are especially well suitable for apartments with low rooms. They reduce the height of the room with only 40 ÷ 50 mm, thanks to the installation of special profiles on the walls around the perimeter of the room, to which the elastic or tissue canvas will be stretched.
Stretch ceilings can be fabric or made of PVC films. To determine which of them will seem better, it makes sense to familiarize yourself with the features of both options.
This version of stretch ceilings can be divided into several subspecies according to the structure of the surface being created:
TO positive qualities PVC films
However, it is impossible not to mention disadvantages PVC-cauldons, which include the following points:
Not many of the owners of apartments or houses know that, in addition to polyvinyl chloride stretch ceilings, there are fabric cloths. Moreover Manufacturers represent in the construction market wide enough Selection of these materials. This option is different from its PVC "fellow" with a number of operational characteristics.
Tissue canvases are divided into two types on the structure of their surfaces:
Tissue tension cloths possess the following positive qualities :
Disadvantages Fabric ceilings can be considered the following features:
This method of alignment and decoration of ceilings can be called traditional, as it is always used in apartments multi-storey houses - Apply today. The appearance of innovative materials for surface preparation and finish plaster solutions has significantly simplified this task.
Plastering the ceiling is a very complex and time-consuming process that requires high skills. Therefore, in the absence of experience - it is unlikely to succeed. On the contrary, you can only thoroughly spoil the surface, so that it is extremely difficult to correct something.
To equalize the ceiling, putty and plaster mixtures based on plaster or cement are used. Gypsum plaster and putty are supplied manufacturers special additives that It prolongs the hardened mixtures from 5 ÷ 7 to 30 ÷ 45 minutes, which allows the experienced plaster to perform a qualitative work.
The result of properly carried out works on finishing, in compliance with all the requirements of the technology, should be the perfectly even and smooth ceiling. Further, a decorative finish is applied to its surface - it may be whiten, paint, wallpaper or other similar material.
Non-easy task for plastering the ceiling
If it still "itching independent creativity" is insurmountable, and it was decided to try your strength in this difficult business, then before proceeding to work, we recommend carefully read the articles of our portal.
TO "Pluses" the plastering of the ceiling can be attributed the following points:
"Minuses" stucco finishes, too, a lot. These include:
In addition to leveling, special plastering decorative mixtures are applied to the ceiling finish, which are applied to the surface after alignment. This process can be called art without much exaggeration, so only professionals can cope with it. It should be noted that not every plaster has the ability to properly apply this material on the walls and the ceiling. Therefore, choosing the wizard, will be quite logical to familiarize yourself with his portfolio, view previous works.
Decorative plaster in the apartment - from the discharge of an exclusive finish
It is difficult to say whether it is worth it for the independent conduct of such works. So that you can imagine how species look like they are, and how difficult is the process of applying, it is worth contacting the profile article of our portal.
Despite the fact that many consider the decoration of the ceiling surfaces with uniform, long-lasted option, it is successfully used in designer art today. Thanks to innovative developments, Russian and foreign manufacturers make many types of wallpapers that have a real opportunity to transform the ceiling surface literally beyond recognition.
So, today on sale you can find fliseline, vinyl, paper, liquid wallpapers, as well as glass and even more exotic options. Some of them are designed for staining and are designed to carry out this process several times.
Wallpapers can be divided by the type of drawing - it can be applied in the correct order with a certain step or have a chaotic location. To simplify the task of the ceiling salary, the best option will be wallpapers in which you do not have to pick up the drawing, as it will be quite difficult to do it.
How not to get confused in the variety of wallpapers?
The range of these finishing materials in our time is extremely wide. And the inexperienced consumer, who oriented when weedly, only on decorative qualities of cloths, it is difficult to choose the really necessary option. In the question, the reader should help a special publication of our portal.
So, if the surface of the ceiling fairly smoothYou can save it with one of the types of wallpaper. Such a finish will cost relatively inexpensively and it can be performed independently. With the calculation of the future, you can choose wallpaper for painting, that is, when changing the room, the room can be repainted in another color.
Wallpaper for staining may have a pronounced embossed pattern, and with a neat salary, the joints between the canvases will be practically imperceptible.
fliselinova wallpaper
TO advantages Woodwork ceiling finishes include the following:
TO negative moments associated with the ceiling finishing with wallpaper, the following can be attributed:
But this is the option, if you do not chat, really can be attributed to the "materials of yesterday". Nevertheless, the high price accessibility of such separation still keeps it among the very popular, so I will stop and on it.
The polystyrene filling ceiling plates are made by punching or extrusion. They can be completely thin or have a thickness of up to 12 ÷ 14 mm, if you consider this parameter along with the height of the relief pattern located on the surface.
Extrusive material is better quality, so it has a higher cost. If the pores of the polystyrene are clearly viewed on the surface of the stamped tile, then products made by extrusion, absolutely smooth and more durable.
To choose a high-quality finishing material, when purchasing it, it is worth a thorough visual inspection of products. They must have smooth straight corners, which will be the key to their fast and high-quality installation on the surface.
It is worth producing another experiment to control the quality of the material. To check the selected version of the tile, you must take over its angle and slightly shaking down-up raise. The product should not break or cooled. Of course, this material has low strength on the break, but the load from such an experiment tile is still required to withstand.
Today in specialized construction stores you can find various options for polystyrene foam tiles according to surface characteristics:
Framing lined polystyrene foam tile Surfaces are made by special plinths from the same material that are also produced with different embossed patterns or in a smooth version. In addition, special angles and sockets that imitate stucco elements are used to design the angles or the area of \u200b\u200blocation of the lighting devices.
This material, as, however, is all the rest, not only a number of advantages, but also its very significant disadvantages.
TO advantages the following features of the material can be attributed:
disadvantages The ceiling finishes with polystyrene plates are very significant, and it must be borne in mind.
In addition, except for the available price and ease of installation, it cannot boast such a finish. Recommend it to use - the language does not turn.
So, finished consideration of the main types of ceiling finishes available to premises in the apartment. In summing up, you can once again emphasize that, choosing material, it is necessary to take into account several factors that will directly affect the optimal solution:
Now, knowing the basic technologies that are used in our time to finish the ceilings, you can weigh their advantages and disadvantages, assess the quality of the ceiling surfaces of the apartment, as well as their financial capabilities. After that, it makes sense to work on the project (even if even in the simplest execution), make calculations, and then go to a specialized store for the purchase of all the necessary.
At the end of the publication, we offer to see the video with an overview of the possible options for the ceilings for the apartment.
When choosing a method of installation and materials to arrange a tension ceiling construction in an office or residential room, it is necessary to take into account their layout, financial capabilities and its own preferences.
The stretch canvas is considered the most promising material, if necessary, arrange the ceiling overlap in a private house or apartment. Due to its use, you can create an absolutely smooth coating, which has durability and excellent operational qualities.
Install the stretch ceiling can be in a room that is already repaired, which takes 2-3 hours, and without wet processes and without moving furniture items. The variety of textures and color solutions, the possibility of applying photo printing and the use of special effects make it possible to determine how long the stretch ceiling is better for a particular room.
To make a stretch ceiling, you can use one of the following materials:
Despite the similarity of the characteristics of the above materials, they have differences affecting the scope of their application:
The cloths of their PVC are distinguished by:
But the polyvinyl chloride film has disadvantages:
Polyester fabrics are resistant to minus temperatures and eco-friendly. But they are expensive and are not suitable for premises with constant humidity. Fiberglass is characterized by mechanical strength and the possibility of reusable image application, but it requires additional painting.
Fabric ceilings always matte texture. The reflective properties of PVC were within 5 to 70 percent. The choice of material depends on the appointment of the room and the individual preferences of the owner of the property.
Externally, matte ceilings are similar to a highly plastered surface. People having a refined taste prefer precisely such restrained elegance. Matte coatings look good in brightly illuminated and spacious premises. They are combined with the interior decorated in a classic style, where there is a stucco, columns and antiques. Pastel tones are popular with popularity.
IN modern interiors The most appropriate are glossy stretching coatings. They prefer people with an active, innovative position. The use of such a material contributes to a visual increase in the room, so it is often mounted in small rooms. Glossy canvas are sold in an extensive color scheme. Than saturated with the linen shade, the better its reflective properties will be.
In many ways, the quality and price of the ceiling structure depends on the company producing this product. It is believed that the best stretch ceilings make European companies.
The canvas from Europe today occupy most of the domestic market. Matte and glossy canvases from these countries are high quality, but French firms have remained fashion lawmakers for many years. The cost of their products is higher compared to prices for Russian and Chinese similar products.
In Russia, the production of stretching canvas is still in the process of becoming. The leading position is occupied by Saros Design, which has production facilities in Moscow. Its products are represented by the canvas of different sizes and colors.
Traditionally, Chinese materials for stretch ceilings are as excellent quality, little as inferior to European goods and fakes. The following companies are leading: HALEAD, GLINE, MSD. Their stretch canvas are considered worthy competitors world leaders of the industry, but they are much cheaper.
Due to the fact that the stretch canvas come in different colors and shades, each housing owner can realize the most unusual design ideas. At the same time, it must be remembered that the appearance of the ceiling surface has a strong psychological effect on the tenants.
Different colors in its own way transform the appearance of the rooms:
With the arrangement of multi-tiered ceiling structures, different textures and colors are often combined, achieving the original result due to contrast.
Since each room has a specific functional purpose, it depends on which stretch ceilings it is better to choose:
Glossy ceilings look effectively in small rooms and visually expand the space.

Mandatory element of the design of stretch ceilings - eaves for curtains from different materials. In accordance with the design of these products, they are nasty and ceiling, while the second look the most presentable. The complexity of their installation is related to the fact that the subtle cloth is not able to withstand heavy structures.
There are two ways to solve the problem with the fastening of the cornice:
The open option involves the installation of a wooden bar on the ceiling overlap in a single level with guide profiles before mounting the web. It is advisable to use solid wood. Before installation, the timber is treated with an antiseptic.
After the canvas is stretched, the eaves are attached through the film to the wooden plank. Holes for the self-tapping screw must be burned so that the molten edges prevent the material rupture in the future.
With a hidden montage method, the eaves are fixed at the overlap above the level of the stretch ceiling design. Next to it is placed a timber or corner to install the guide baguette. This work is performed before measurements are performed. Curtains hanging from the design look spectacularly and harmoniously combined with different types of cloths.

Achieve this effect helps the use of a special profile having a groove to install the LED tape. Installation of such a multi-level ceiling is not much different from the arrangement of the usual stretch ceiling construction.

After tensioning the canvas, the eaves are attached through the film. Holes under the self-tapping screw need to burn to prevent further breakdown.
If you choose hidden installation, then the eaves must be installed above the level of the stretch ceiling. Even before performing the ceiling measurements near the cornice, you need to install a bar or a corner for fixing the guide baguette.
