Stretch Ceiling material

Very important is what the design will be used for. If it is intended only as an ornamental decoration, then any color of the coating can be used. However, if the ceiling should act as a main lighting or a light window is created in the ceiling, it is better to use a white material .
Translucent Stretch Ceiling Installation :
How to install a stretch ceiling ? This is often question asked in our company . Here we share with you installation steps.
Installation of a stretch ceiling usually takes a little time - most often specialists need several hours to carry out these works. Usually the sequence of actions of installers consists of five key stages, each of which we will tell in detail:
1. CEILING PREPARATIONS
Using the laser level, experts make a marking of the ceiling, namely make marks on the walls along the perimeter of the room. Then the points are connected to each other, forming a line along which the baguette will be installed (a special fastener where the pvc is wound up). At the same stage, the technician are determined on what height from the slab ceiling slab should be lowered. Depending on the type of luminaires to be installed and height differences of the home ceiling, this parameter can vary from 2 to 10 cm, but usually the ceiling is lowered by about 5 cm.
2. BAGUET INSTALLATION
On the marked line in the wall holes are drilled about 10 centimeters from each other, after which they are clogged with dowels. In the place where the baguette joint will be located, the step is made less - up to 2-4 cm. Then, with the help of screws, the baguette is fixed to the wall, not allowing the joint to fall on the corner, since during installation of the web, the tension force is large enough and the harpoon can not resist in this place. Thus, when installing the baguette in the corner, it bends at an angle of 90 degrees.
It should be noted that most often the installation of a ceiling made of PVC film is carried out by the harpoon method, when the web is stretched on the profile already fixed on the wall. The main advantage of this method of fastening is that, if necessary, the dismantling and re-installation of the canvas will not be difficult.
However, sometimes a staggering method is used, in which the web is fixed in the profile. And although this method is somewhat cheaper, its main drawback is the impossibility of reusing the ceiling. As a consequence, this technology is used less and less.
3. INSTALLATION OF ELECTRICAL CABLES AND LIGHTING ELEMENTS
Before carrying out the work on stretching the canvas on the baguette, it is necessary to determine the places in which the fixtures will be installed, and to mount the installation parts. In addition, all electrical wires must be neatly laid in the cable ducts or corrugated hose and attached to the ceiling.
4. DIRECT STRUCTURE DIRECT INSTALLATION
After the completion of the previous stages of work, the room is prepared: the air is warmed up to 40 degrees. It is this temperature that is optimal for the installation of a stretch ceiling. The canvas itself is heated separately (up to 60-70 degrees) with the help of a construction hair dryer or a heat gun. Thanks to this PVC film becomes elastic, easily stretches and is easily attached to the baguette.
Initially, the film must be suspended in two opposite corners of the room (diagonally), then fixed in the two remaining corners. When the canvas is fixed at the corners, it is attracted to the profile in the middle of each wall, and then pulled on the remaining sections. The fixing process is that the film is pushed into the groove of the profile by a spatula, fixing it firmly in it.
After the end of installation and uniform stretching of the film, the master installs a decorative skirting that hides the fasteners and the gap between the wall and the ceiling.
5. INSTALLATION OF LIGHTING ELEMENTS
After the PVC film has finally stretched and cooled, special thermo rings are glued in the places of the planned installation of the luminaires. Then inside each thermo ring a hole is cut out, to which electrical wires are output, and the luminaire is mounted.
Translucent Stretch Ceiling Specification .
Light suspended ceilings without the usual fixtures are mounted using an LED strip. It is installed directly on the concrete base and connected to the network. By means of tapes it is possible to create light lines on the tension ceiling of various shapes. Also, LED lighting can be continuous.
When installing such structures, you can also use fluorescent lamps. But their installation is more complicated, since it involves the installation of several instruments and their integration into one system.
When designing a future ceiling project, you can combine different combinations of light devices of different colors. The design allows creating "light windows", which are used as a primary or additional light source
Note!
Of considerable importance is the color of the material. Typically, for the "ceiling-lamp" is used the canvas in light colors, because dark colors let less light. But, if the design is used as a decorative element, and not the main source of illumination, the use of a dark canvas is acceptable.

How much does a Translucent Stretch Ceiling cost ?
Before answer the question of what kind of stretch ceiling to choose, it's worth to estimate the cost of the structure. It will depend on the following factors:
• Area of the room.
• The type and number of lighting devices and openings .
• Necessity of implementing a pipe loop.
• The material and structural features of the walls.
• Type of fabrics.
In most cases, the price of light stretch ceiling with installation is from 350 dhs per square meter. The final cost will be known after measuring and making detailed estimates.
How to Clean a Stretch Ceiling
- Use only the softest napkins and brushes.
- Remove all jewelry from hand, otherwise even the smallest stone or curl in the ring can inflict irreparable harm on the ceiling.
- Only soft, non-abrasive cleaners. Preferably, the spray is perfect for washing windows with ammonia.
- Acetone is gone! It can spoil the film, and for your health it is harmful. PVC film can react in the most unpredictable way to chemicals - change color or discolor, soften, deform into wrinkles. So carefully read the package of the product and then at home we test it in a secluded place, applying a small droplet.
- Wash the stretch ceilings very carefully, without pressing, gently, like the baby's skin. And, of course, you can not use a mop or fanatically rub it to a loss of heart rate.
- Study the instructions of the ceiling manufacturer. However, some manufacturers allow cleaning the film with a vacuum cleaner, but we do not recommend doing this unless you are sure that the ceiling is fixed very reliably.
