Stretch ceilings: main types

Stretch ceilings are very popular due to the abundance of pluses: they are beautiful, resistant to moisture, can be used in a variety of ways in the design, durable and reliable. Mold cannot eat them, and mice cannot get under them. Their only minus is possible difficulties with installation, but if you hire professionals, you can overcome it. In order for the stretch ceiling to truly take its place in the house and fit into the interior, you need to choose the option that has the suitable features.And since the varieties of suspended ceilings are very numerous, the issue requires some study.

According to the material

Material is perhaps the most important characteristic of a stretch ceiling. It defines the properties and to a large extent the appearance. It happens:
  • Fabric (most often it is satin). Dense, durable, with a beautiful texture, it is environmentally friendly and breathable. Resistant to low temperatures, does not require special equipment for tensioning. It is most often used in non-residential premises, as it accumulates dust and absorbs odors. It’s difficult to care for her, it’s impossible to remove the stubborn aroma. And if in the bedroom a fabric stretch ceiling is at least somehow appropriate, in the kitchen it will be a disaster.
  • Film. It surpasses fabric in general properties because it is durable, beautiful, resistant to fire and water. It does not collect dust, does not absorb odor, cannot mold and stops noise. However, to install a film ceiling, a heat gun is required, and it can also be torn and then you have to drag the entire ceiling again.
The characteristics of the room should also be considered. If it has a low ceiling, then it is better to put a fabric variety - it is less likely to accidentally damage it.

According to the invoice

If the material determines how and how much the stretch ceiling will serve, then the texture, the options of which are not too numerous, determines the appearance to a greater extent. It could be:
  • Gloss. It has a beautiful specular sheen, very smooth and bright. Compared to the rest, the best option for a bathroom or kitchen is any place where dirt accumulates on the ceiling. Also a great solution for small rooms - the mirror coating of the ceiling helps to visually expand the space.
  • Matte ceiling. The most common and familiar option that mimics the most ordinary paint. Well suited for a traditional interior, where delights like mirrored ceilings are out of place.
  • Satin Something between a matte and glossy ceiling. A rough surface with a slight pearly sheen. It gives comfort, looks good in living rooms. However, more expensive than other options.
  • Combined ceiling. The most expensive option is a design combination of matte ceilings, satin and gloss, which allows you to achieve the most bizarre patterns, the most bewitching zoning. It can be combined with drywall constructions that will make the ceiling voluminous.
Which texture is best suited depends solely on the room itself and its design. That is why before you start, you should look at the reviews of designs and figure out what will look good in a particular case.

By color

The coloring of stretch ceilings is much richer than the standard "one-color", although it all starts with it.

Solid ceiling

If you choose the right color, it can be a great solution. Dark colors - for large rooms that need to be made smaller and more comfortable. Light - into small ones that need to be expanded. Green, yellow, light shades of blue - in the rooms in which you need to work. Warm brown, calming pastel, violet - to the bedroom, for better sleep.

Two-color ceiling

Suitable for zoning and dividing the apartment. Where there is red there is the kitchen, where there is white, there is the living room - with the right design, a great option.

Motley ceiling

The most controversial decision, for the implementation of which you must have an unmistakable taste. It can be a great addition to the interior, as well as an unpleasant flickering of flowers.

Patterned ceiling

The most interesting option, because it allows you to create a completely unique ceiling, with any pattern, with any picture. In the kitchen - an appetizing still life, in the child's room - favorite heroes. It can be in two versions:
  • aerosol - piece work of the master, which is applied manually using special sprayers;
  • photo printing - similar to any printing on a mug or on a T-shirt, only the printer is used more.

Room with starry sky

The most attractive option for the bedroom, because it allows you to simulate real stars. The effect is achieved in two ways:
  • fiber optic - the thread is held to the smallest holes in the ceiling and provides a "star glow";
  • photo printing - small lamps that play the role of stars are brought to the photograph of the starry sky.
Any catalog of suspended ceilings is just a recommendation for consideration. With the help of the designer and craftsmen, you can do something completely new, original and interesting. The main thing is to combine the elements correctly.
