Oh, this repair - how many problems and worries. For example, stretch ceilings-how much are you sure that this is the right choice? Let's find out the advantages and disadvantages of this design.
Stretch ceilings: shortcomings and problems
To begin with, we will figure out what drawbacks there are in stretch ceilings. To begin with, the stretch ceiling film is strongly stretched, there is a possibility of damage by sharp objects, a brush. It is not very pleasant, when, before the new interior has been given life, the whole canvas will deteriorate in the hands of the master. After all, be an incision or a puncture in only one area, you still have to buy a new ceiling.
The second disadvantage is a significant decrease in the ceiling height. Therefore, even with a great desire, the stretch ceiling can not be installed indoors with a short height of the walls.
The third, but most likely, insignificant minus can be considered "fear" stretch ceilings of hot objects. You can install any fixtures , but with limited power.
Possible sagging if the suspended ceilings are installed incorrectly. The same effect is observed if the installation takes place in large areas.
Very great danger of purchasing counterfeit products. In the production of ceilings scammers use harmful materials, which are contraindicated for use in the interior. So be careful, you do not want to have problems with stretch ceilings.
Pros of stretch ceilings
We turn to the positive characteristics of stretch ceilings, which began to be produced in Europe at the end of the last century. They make them from polyester fabrics and PVC films. Previously, because of the high cost of only very wealthy people could afford such a luxury. But now, suspended ceilings have become much cheaper, and if you count how much it costs to complete the installation and processing of ceilings from plasterboard, it turns out that the installation of tension is costing about the same amount. So why set up a rout in a house with construction debris, stains and noise?
The cost of ceilings is affected by their texture, color and width. At your service are offered matte with imitation of plastered and painted ceiling, glossy with a surface that has a reflective effect, and satin - an "intermediate class" between glossy and matte. If you prefer a simple matte ceiling geometric shape, it means you're easy to install in the installation costs quite inexpensively.
From the width depends the number of joints, and accordingly the seams. Installation takes place when the room is heated to seventy degrees. But there are also seamless ceilings, which are more qualitative and reliable. And they can be installed without heating, and the area of the room is practically irrelevant.
Thanks to the materials used in the manufacture of stretch ceilings, it is easy to apply them to individual orders. You can use two-level stretch ceilings .
Another advantage in choosing a stretch ceiling is the lack of the need to search, transport and store the necessary material for the gypsum board ceiling, its primer, putty and painting. Installation of a film or fabric ceiling is done by an experienced team of installers in a matter of hours without much noise and dirt.
In favor of stretch ceilings and says that they are fairly strong - withstand pressure up to one hundred kilograms per square meter, moisture resistant. And to care for them is very simple - it is enough to systematically wipe them with a wet rag. If the ceiling surface is made "suede", use a vacuum cleaner for cleaning.
