The reasons for the popularity of the stretch ceiling in the interior
This type of finish is also one of the most expensive, but, thanks to many advantages, it quickly pays off. Stretch ceilings are made from a thin, but very durable canvas – vinyl polymer. Such ceilings can be like a different color, so be matte, or even imitate a metal surface.
Main advantages:
flat surface of high quality;
the coating is moisture -resistant (if the neighbors are flooded on top, then a well -made coating will protect the apartment);
great durability (up to twenty years will last);
high strength (withstand loads up to one hundred kilograms per square meter);
excellent sound insulation and thermal insulation.
The main disadvantages of ceilings of this type:
high cost of square meter;
There is a sensitivity to a sharp temperature difference (in this case, there is a risk of sagging ceilings in a warm room and the loss of elasticity in the cold);
To perform the correct installation of a stretch ceiling, it is necessary to have special knowledge and skills – ideally it should be performed by experts.
Also, such ceilings are sensitive to careless treatment, in particular, sharp objects are poorly tolerated. It is worth noting that experts do not recommend using stretch ceilings in rooms that have low ceilings, as they reduce the height of the room by a significant value – up to twenty centimeters.
