ADVANTAGES OF STRETCH CEILINGS

Just like any other type of ceiling finish, stretch ceilings have their own set of advantages and disadvantages. However, when it comes to stretch ceilings, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. It is widely recognized that stretch ceilings are a quick and affordable solution that lasts long. They are resistant to fading, cracking, and sagging. Cleaning them is a breeze, and even stubborn grease stains can be easily removed. Additionally, stretch ceilings provide excellent protection against flooding. Let's explore the specifics in greater detail!"

Fast Installation without Dust and Dirt:

Installing a stretch ceiling simply requires vacating the room and removing plants and pets.
Unlike drywall, the installation of a stretch ceiling does not involve the use of putties, ensuring a clean and tidy procedure.
The installation of an average-sized stretch ceiling of 150 square feet takes approximately 4 hours. Additional time may be required when installing a substantial number of lighting fixtures within the stretch ceiling.

Durability and Practicality:

Stretch ceilings provide an impressive lifespan of 20-30 years, maintaining their original condition.
Unlike traditional ceilings, stretch ceilings do not require repainting or whitewashing even after many years.
Stretch ceilings are resistant to cracking, which is particularly advantageous for homeowners in newly constructed houses that may experience settling. Often, painted ceilings in such homes may develop small or large cracks over the initial years. Stretch ceilings effectively overcome this issue.
An undeniable advantage of stretch ceilings is their ability to protect other interior elements from flooding incidents, including valuable furniture, parquet floors, wallpapers, and decor. While unforeseen accidents can occur, even in private residences, stretch ceilings act as a safeguard. For instance, we encountered a case where a valve in a drain tank on the second floor of a private house malfunctioned during the night, resulting in the flooding of the first-floor ceiling. Fortunately, the stretch ceiling installed beneath the plasterboard ceiling prevented extensive damage to the entire interior. Our team promptly drained the water, and in 95% of similar cases, we successfully restored the stretch ceiling, ensuring the interior remained completely dry.

Beauty and Originality:

Ceiling Illumination: Both perimeter lighting and film illumination can be incorporated into the entire surface of the stretch ceiling.
Niche Lighting: Niches with lamps can be created in stretch ceilings of various configurations and colors.
Linear Lighting: Light lines can be integrated into the stretch ceiling, often referred to as linear light.
Built-in Magnetic Tracks: Magnetic tracks can be built into the stretch ceiling, allowing for versatile attachment and positioning of objects.
Concealed Curtain Cornice: A hidden cornice for curtains can be seamlessly embedded into the stretch ceiling, complete with guides and hooks.
Photo Printing: Images, such as skies, clouds, flowers, or night skies, can be printed on both matte and glossy stretch ceilings, allowing for personalized design fantasies.
Ceiling-Wall Junction Options: Different junction options are available for the transition between the ceiling and the wall. These include gapless mounts for a seamless and invisible junction, shadow junctions that create a subtle gap along the perimeter of the ceiling, and floating ceilings with backlighting along the junction.
Variety of Film Shades: Choose from a selection of 200 shades of films, suitable for various interior spaces such as living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, or children's rooms.
Multiple Texture Options: Enjoy the versatility of six texture types for stretch ceilings, including glossy, matte, satin, metallic, mother-of-pearl, and translucent.
Visual Transformation: By selecting the color and texture for your stretch ceiling, you have the power to visually enhance or reduce the room's perceived space, making it appear taller or lower according to your preferences, thereby completely transforming its overall look and feel.

Ease of Maintenance:

Stretch ceilings require minimal maintenance and do not require any specialized care. Claims about dust accumulation on stretch ceilings found on certain forums are entirely illogical. When compared to other types of ceiling finishes, stretch ceilings are the least susceptible to attracting and retaining dust on their surface. The smooth film used in stretch ceilings does not generate static electricity, making it less prone to dust accumulation. In contrast, plasterboard and painted ceilings tend to retain more dust due to their textured surfaces.

However, if needed, a stretch ceiling can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth, a process that takes significantly less time than cleaning a painted ceiling.

In the event of spills or stains on a stretch ceiling, they can be removed using regular dish detergent without solvents. In the case of plasterboard ceilings, it is not always possible to remove stains completely, and rubbing may leave noticeable traces.

Stretch ceilings have also proven to be highly effective in kitchens, bathrooms, and other humid environments. They are resistant to mold growth, and any grease splatters can be effortlessly wiped off the surface.

Eco-Friendly and Health Effects:

Stretch ceilings are known for their reliability and safety. Our stretch ceilings come with hygienic and fire safety certificates, ensuring their compliance with health and safety standards. They are also moisture-resistant and environmentally friendly.

We have conducted extensive tests on the fire resistance of our stretch ceilings. The results of these experiments have shown that the film used in stretch ceilings does not support combustion. When exposed to open flames, it will only melt and not ignite.

One important aspect regarding stretch ceilings is their impact on human health. It is natural to question whether stretch ceilings emit any harmful substances during use or if there are any unpleasant or harmful odors associated with them. Studies and experiments have consistently shown that the film used in stretch ceilings does not release any substances during normal operation. At regular use temperatures, there are no volatile substances present in the film that could have an adverse effect on human health.

During the installation of a stretch ceiling, a gas gun is used, and a residual smell of burnt propane-butane may be noticeable in the room immediately afterward. However, this smell dissipates completely within 1-2 days, and there will be no lingering odor from your stretch ceiling. It is worth noting that stretch ceilings are no different from other finishing materials such as wallpaper, laminate, or interior paints. These materials may emit a slight odor after installation, but it quickly fades away. You can confidently choose a stretch ceiling, as it is made of the same PVC material used in plastic cups we use for drinking.

Through numerous tests, experiments, and studies, the undeniable superiority of stretch ceilings over other finishing methods has been consistently demonstrated.
