Vitaly Lviv Refresh ceiling in the room, it would seem that could be easier? Took a putty, a bucket of paint, stood on a stepladder ... One, two! And the ceiling is like new. What is actually wise to buy some suspension design, install fixtures, when and as simple as that. Approximately thinks most of the townsfolk, for the first time zatevaya repair. Therefore, often shocking to many is the amount you asked the wizard for some simple, at first sight operation. In fact, the ceiling - one of the most difficult objects for decorating. Putty and smooth slabs, balancing on a stepladder with a high head thrown back - the pleasure not a simple one, and therefore it is not cheap. In addition, some ceilings due to the peculiarities of exploitation in general can not be put in order, using plaster and paint. What to do? The modern market of finishing the ceiling materials, despite all the diversity, in fact, reduced to three basic methods of finishing: painting ceiling, hanging rack and panel type of Armstrong ceilings and trendy now suspended ceilings. Each of these finishes has its advantages, features and shortcomings. Stretch ceilings do not require preparatory work, and accordingly the time required to ensure such works. This technology does not entail all of the above disadvantages. Stretch ceilings are naturally hide all the flaws and defects in the ceiling of the base, such deficiency may include cracks, bumps, bruises, dirt. To carry out the ceiling does not require not only relocation but even removal of furniture, as it saves time and effort. In addition, the structure of the material is such that the suspended ceiling, you can easily embed any lamps, alarm and ventilation system. If we compare the suspended ceiling with gypsum board, lath and ceilings, it must be remembered that, installing drywall - a dirty and time-consuming activity that requires huge investment of time and complete release of the premises with the removal of furniture. Durability and reliability of plasterboard in ceiling work is also very doubtful. You will never be able to avoid future cracks and irregularities - especially if the house had just been built and has not yet given its natural shrinkage. Although you can not insure against cracks in the old building. Does not help drywall and bays and leaking. The time spent on the installation of suspended ceilings is incomparably shorter time spent assembling ceiling coverings of cardboard-gypsum panels. As for rack and suspended ceilings - suspended ceilings themselves are qualitatively different method of coating. Seamless, smooth and homogeneous structure of the material have a visual advantage in front of the structure of the ceiling, which is obtained by using rack and ceilings. The joints battens and tiles are often left a bad impression, especially if these ceilings are established hastily and implementing low qualifications. It is for these reasons, the most fashionable solution today are French tension ceilings. The story of suspended ceilings date back to ancient era. Predecessors of modern designs used in ancient states: Egypt, Greece and Rome. The modern version originated in the mid-sixties in France and immediately won wide popularity in Western Europe. His undeniable advantages - aesthetic and colors, which allows for the most unexpected design fantasies, combined with practicality, water resistance indicate that the fashion for this story is just beginning. Stretch ceilings are thin film iliw fabric stretched on a special frame (baguette) that is attached to the ceiling or on the base or on the perimeter walls. The resulting ceiling plane perfectly smooth and homogeneous, has a kind of solid ceiling. From a technology perspective, the suspended ceiling is a form of suspended ceilings, but, strictly speaking, it can not be attributed to them as attachment to the base ceiling are rarely used. Usually the fabric ceiling is fixed on the perimeter walls. This method is ideal in order to hide the flaws of the basic ceiling and laid him on the utilities, insertions fixtures, air ducts. "The kind of" suspended ceiling and can not be confused with an outboard brother, because it forms a completely flat surface that does not "plow" rails and boxes from which the majority of office workers have driving teeth. On the contrary, selecting the suspended ceiling of a white PVC film, you can achieve the visual effect of "painted ceiling. However, such a simple suspended ceiling, despite the complete lack of originality, it will be much smarter, because any ceiling made of PVC film has a number of advantages. First, suspended ceilings form a perfectly smooth surface. To obtain a perfectly flat ceiling in a standard way (lining of the ceiling) will require considerable effort and funds, with a guarantee for such ceiling of no more than 1-2 years. For comparison, the warranty on the suspended ceiling is 10 years. It is equally important that suspended ceilings are not afraid of water. Cost clogged gutters in the washing machine on top neighbors as your lovingly painted the ceiling into a stormy sky, with ragged clouds, lightning cracks and avalanche deposits. A suspended ceiling in such cases, holds water and sagging bladder (sometimes even to the floor). To remove the water need only call the master, who will make a special master key and to empty the tank. Fire Safety (Class G2) allows you to install suspended ceilings in kitchens and other rooms, where the fire communications. In the space formed between the basic tension ceilings can be fixed or acoustic insulation materials and the finished ceiling may be imperceptible to an outsider's eyes embed not only the various lamps, chandeliers, and ventilation systems, alarm systems and fire safety. Stretch ceilings are almost no additional care. They need to really wipe that every few years with a damp cloth. At the same time, they are well ventilated (breathing), but did not miss. Due to the presence of micron-thin layer of Teflon, if necessary, they are easy to clean. Design of a stretch ceiling On the possibilities of decorating a stretch ceiling should be discussed separately. We can safely say that in this competition they can only make art panels in the palace halls. Stretch ceilings - is, first of all, a great selection of colors and textures. Self-respecting manufacturer does not offer the buyer a modest range of shades, as a rule, the competition "in Color" begins with a mark of 100 colors. Agree, it gives designers greater scope for imagination. Currently available stretch ceilings of different textures: matte satin, patent leather, suede, made to look like marble, granite, wood, metallic, translucent, etc. Specialists have even developed a kind of classification of textures. For example, it is believed that the matte stretch ceiling - is a strict traditional style. Satin - elegance and quiet tone. Varnish - the depth and volume. Metallic - like color of the car of your dreams. Moire - poured whimsical waves. Ceiling under the skin - texture and warm tones of natural material. Matt lacquer paintings and can be perforated, which in turn is petty and grand. Each texture has a wide range of paintings of flowers with lots of shades in every color. The flexibility of the material allows you to create multi-level tracks with a minimum number of joints, creating effects "dome", "puff", "clouds", "wave." And, over time, ceilings do not fade and do not turn yellow (even smoke). However, the most advanced trends in design refinement stretch ceiling is the ceiling a la «starry sky." There are several options for achieving the effect of twinkling stars overhead. The first method is based on a light generator and light guides. From a light generator to the canvas on the inside are derived fibers contained in a specially prepared a framework that allows to bring them into clearly defined places for a pre-designed maps of the sky on the ceiling. Depending on the desired brightness of stars (constellations or ordinary star) is determined by the number of fibers directed to one point, and the unit-generator allows you to create a shimmering effect in different colors night sky. It is also possible to use special "lens", attached to the end of the fibers with the visible side of fabrics, which are the difference between cut glass, intricately refracting the light, give the stars of the volume, emphasizing the fabulous view of the ceiling. The second method is based on the LEDs and the software control unit. The use of LEDs allows you to make better use of the idea of ??a starry sky. With the help of the software control unit connected to the LED standard wires may offer not only the shimmering sky (1 way), but consistent or erratic flashing constellations, the effect of the northern lights, falling comet, etc., depending on the amount entered in block management programs. And finally, the third method - based on painting canvases. On the already strained fabric matte texture of the special, only for suspended ceilings or transparent colored paint applied lyuministsvetnoy selected songs sky. This creates the effect of conventional ceiling during the day and night, under special lighting, the effect of glowing stars and constellations of the sky. The effects of flicker and play of colors due to the use of different filters at the source of light. And in the space of stretch ceiling there is no electrical wiring, only fiber-optic cable, which eliminates short circuits and other troubles related to electricity. There are several options for "sky": a hole in the ceiling (with a velvet or lacquered stretch ceiling), without holes (the projection of light fiber-optic cable to the suspended ceiling from the inside - with a lacquer or satin stretch ceiling), with crystal lenses Swarovski (using matt, satin, velvet stretch ceilings). First, experts establish a frame ceiling made of plywood or plastic, which make the holes for optical fibers according to a predetermined layout. With the markup can be transferred to any ceiling constellations and their combinations on an astronomical atlas. Brightness and size of stars depends on the number of threads supplied to each point of a star - it can be anything - on the request. Filaments are reduced to a point that is projected from inside the canvas stretched ceiling. Swarovski crystal several types of cut in combination with optical fiber provides a very different "starry sky" from multibeam stars the very different shape. In this case, each lens like the recessed fixtures installed in a specially made rack-mount with adjustable base. To counter the lens is mounted through a hole in the ceiling, reinforced plastic ring. Different from any previous version of the "sky" is a combination of suspended ceilings with LEDs. In this case, the "stars" are used LEDs connected trails with special programming panel, which can specify the dynamics of blinking diodes, light track of them (up to 9 programs). The advantages of this type of "sky" is that it does not require a special location for the light source - A Programming panel is placed on the palm of your hand and operates the 39 diodes. And also at work "heaven" No extraneous noise (fan light source for fiber-optic "night sky" is equipped with a fan and makes a noise something like a computer). However, diodes protrude from the ceiling and they are much larger than the real stars in the sky. However, the technology of decorative lighting suspended ceilings is developing very rapidly. Today, based on the basis of "starry sky" some firms have developed a number of interesting options for ceiling lighting. For example, the firm Planet Ceilings first in our country presented to the court user fiber-optic effects - "painting with light" and "optical patterns". Technology them is - optical fiber dent in a certain way and have the inside of the stretched ceiling in the form of certain figures or in picturesque disorder. Modulations of light lines and shapes visible through the frosted glass "from Newmat four colors. During the day over your head perfectly smooth ceiling with the mysterious deep inside, and at night - glowing fiber-optic thread to create an incredible twists, the play of light and shade with waves of light. Another latest achievement in the design of suspended ceilings are a feature ceilings. And here too there are several options for implementing the idea. In the first case, manufactured cloth to size, is fixed in the frame, after which a professional artist elastic paint on a canvas does it pre-painted in sketches and approved by the customer to the track. After that the canvas removed and sent to a facility where it is, as a masterpiece in the museum occupies a strictly defined place. Needless to say, that this method is used for the execution of exclusive contracts. The second version of the "artistic" paintings done by printing. On special equipment applied to the canvas image. Illustration, drawing or photograph of the customer can select the directory which offers the manufacturer or to offer his image. With these characteristics, the suspended ceiling would be appropriate in any environment in the apartment, office, sales room, restaurant, swimming pool, indoor industrial and medical applications. But it is very relevant, such ceilings in new areas. Due to the rainfall of the building in 99 cases out of 100 in the ceiling cracks, and no matter what efforts you have made, they appear again and again. With stretch ceiling from cracking can be eliminated once and for all. Also, a "priority" areas of tension ceiling is high humidity, since they are not condensation. This means that after drying of moisture on the ceiling will not be generated "rust" spots, which can not deal with the usual device ceilings. The minimum distance at which you can mount suspended ceilings of the main ceiling - 2,5-3 cm, but if you need to install recessed fixtures, the ceiling drops to 8-10 cm with straining ceilings can use any lights, but with limited capacity: lamps bulbs - up to 60 watts, halogen - 35 Tues If necessary, install a more powerful lamps should perform additional thermal insulation. Fixtures are attached to the main ceiling, and ceilings for slotted holes, which are pasted on the perimeter of a special heat-insulating ring. In addition to fixtures on the ceiling can be installed and vents, suspended indoor units of split-redundant system air-conditioning, smoke detectors. To eliminate the accumulation of condensation in the space between the ceiling and stretch ceilings, the fastening profile makes air ducts. And with floor space exceeding 35 sq ft to include post-ceiling space with a general ventilation ducts, or install a ventilation grille cloth. To be fair, and the shortcomings inherent tension ceilings: firstly, the fear of sharp objects and, secondly, the relatively high cost (the cheapest stretch ceiling is currently worth about $ 30 per sq ft, delivery and installation) . If the first shortcoming is trudnoustranimym, then on the second one can be sure - with time it will be significantly reduced. There is one drawback - it is unlikely that work on the device of a stretch ceiling you could do yourself if you were not connected with these - even able to get all the parts. Such work not only requires special equipment and materials that are not available in retail stores, but also professional skills. Two types of suspended ceilings to suspended ceilings are currently two types of material: polivinlhloridnaya (PVC) film and polyester fabric. First used in the majority of designs, the second in the ceilings of Clipso. Polivinlhloridnoy thickness of the film forming surface tension ceiling range 0,15-0,35 mm, weight - 180-320 g/m2. Film is sufficiently elastic at room temperature, withstand the pressure of 1000 Pa. When heated above 65 ° C, the elasticity of the material increases, and it lends itself well to the deformation, stretching like a thin rubber. Subsequent cooling to room temperature restores the original elasticity of the film. This property of the material and is used to set stretch ceiling. But at the same time is not frost-resistant PVC material.

Such work not only requires special equipment and materials that are not available in retail stores, but also professional skills. Two types of suspended ceilings to suspended ceilings are currently two types of material: polivinlhloridnaya (PVC) film and polyester fabric. First used in the majority of designs, the second in the ceilings of Clipso. Polivinlhloridnoy thickness of the film forming surface tension ceiling range 0,15-0,35 mm, weight - 180-320 g/m2. Film is sufficiently elastic at room temperature, withstand the pressure of 1000 Pa. When heated above 65 ° C, the elasticity of the material increases, and it lends itself well to the deformation, stretching like a thin rubber. Subsequent cooling to room temperature restores the original elasticity of the film. This property of the material and is used to set stretch ceiling. But at the same time is not frost-resistant PVC material. Polivinlhloridnaya film becomes hard and brittle, when the mercury drops below 0 ° C, though the film begins to break down only when a frost below - 40 ° C. PVC film is completely waterproof, thanks to leaks in the case of tension can withstand up to 100 liters of water per 1 sq.m. After removing the water ceiling restores its tension. Remove the water, you can open a hole for the light, but if there is no built-in lighting, the experts usually turn down the angle of coverage, release water and then set a ceiling in place. The ceiling of the vinyl film is not afraid to shock and will not crack, easy to clean. And, in addition, to meet the most stringent international environmental requirements and fire safety. The film is produced in widths from 1,3 to 2,2 m, but if you want a large width, the cloth can easily connect to each other by welding with the formation of hardly noticeable seam. PVC stretch ceilings can be cleaned with any detergent, but only with a soft cloth. Scratching with a brush in no case be - stretched film may be broken. How to pull a stretch ceiling? The very same ceiling - is made from a separate strips of PVC fabric backing, whether exactly the right size room with all its features. Plans for a pattern to do a professional engineer, as in this case, as in all matters related to the stretch ceilings, a lot of subtleties that must be taken into account at all stages of preparation and installation. Following the pattern sheet is processed on the perimeter of the flexible plate - "garpon", which is used later during installation. On this pattern cloth ends, it is carefully washed with special means, formed by using interlayer pads and wrapped in several layers of insulating film. In this form (convolution) ceiling and comes with the manufacturer (usually from French) company-installer. Consider this process for the simplest case - the installation of stretch ceiling in direct quadrangular room, without leaving the ceiling pipes, with a light-type "chandelier." This process consists of many operations and can be understood at first only to people with experience in construction work and communicate with the building tool. The first thing on the wall along the perimeter of the premises fixed frame, which is a plastic profile of hard plastic or duralumin, for which subsequently engages garponom canvas ceiling. Profile shapes, as well as the method of fixation, different manufacturers are different, though similar to each other. To do this, first of all determined by the lowest angle of the base ceiling of the room. This is done by gidrourovnya (flexible transparent tube length of about 10 m, filled with tinted liquid). Coming from the lower angle is measured down 1-2 cm and a mark with a pencil. In reality, this gap only for technological purposes, to make it easy to choose a tool for securing a baguette. Then, using the same gidrourovnya this label is transferred to other corners of the room. Gidrouroven no longer needed and can be removed. With otbivochnogo cord with a dye applied to the line to secure the baguette. To this end, one end of the cable is installed on the mark in one corner and another on the label in a nearby corner, a cord at the same time should be taut. Free hand cord is pulled perpendicular to the wall and released. Meaning of the operation is to pull the cord slapped on the wall and left a stain on her direct line from one horizon to another label. Repeat for all walls of the room, get the horizon line along its entire perimeter. This line will be the basis for the subsequent installation of a baguette. The next operation - precise angle measurement of the room. This is done using a special tool - "ganiometra" (folding protractor) or via a selection zarezok. The second method more accurate. It is better to immediately write the measured angles in pencil on the base ceiling. Actually required accuracy - 0,5 angular degrees - more difficult to do, as the price of division of the scale used for the washed down angles pendulum saws, equal to one angular degrees. Now it's time to mount on the wall prints. To do this you must first prepare a rail moldings. With a 5-meter tape measure accurately measured the length of the wall on which is planned to strengthen the rail. Typically, rail has a length of 3-4 m, so there is a greater length of tape does not make sense. If the wall has a length less than the length of rail, the rail is strictly long zapilivaetsya pendulum saw at an angle equal to half of the angles adjacent to the measured side and then fastened to the wall so that the upper edge moldings match the markings horizon made earlier. If the wall is greater than the length of rail, the latter zapilivaetsya only in one corner (the second it is recommended washed down with a right angle, as often baguette cut in length is not strictly a right angle), and after fixing it or using dowels and screws (recommended for enhanced domestic production of the dowels with a diameter of 6 mm and 30 mm long), either through a pneumatic gun, and special nails or staples with a frequency of attachment, defined by the wall material. It should be remembered that the tension force on the detachment of the ceiling moldings is approximately equal to 60 kg / mp. Built up the missing piece of the required length with a corresponding gash, which is attached to the wall in the same way or another. Repeat this for each wall, we get the room obagechennoe strict level horizon. Carrying out this operation, it is important to remember that the joints should be glued pieces of baguette with their connection with cyanoacrylate glue group. Now comes the most exciting moment - the opening up and install the canvas. As mentioned above, the canvas ceiling, the installer enters the company folded. Quality of packaging can play an important role, because even the slightest mechanical damage to leaf leads to a marriage work. That's why between the layers of cloth stacked special gaskets of polyethylene foam or a thin and soft paper. Unpacking the paintings should be carried out in an already partially warmed (up to 40-50 ° C) room. Usually a few minutes turn heat gun, and then canvas stretched ceiling should be carefully unpacked and deployed, providing a uniformly warm (heat gun can bring to the canvas closer than 1,5 m). In painting the ceiling is always embedded drawing of the manufacturer, which must be labeled "basic" angle, and it develops so that the base angle was on top and unfolded leaf from him. Expand the canvas should be as follows: hung in the corners of the room on the rope loops, so-called crocodiles (spring clamps in the form of mite) wrapped with two or three layers of cushioning sponge, cloth begins to unfold. The first was called the base angle, which, after a brief warm-up to the heat flux gun clinging "crocodile" for garpon. Further, as the deployment of blade will open its new angles, which cling "crocodiles" in their respective corners of the room. When all the canvas deployed and linked, until it warms up to the state of fitness for the installation, you should check whether it is oriented - albeit infrequently, but there were occasions mistakes with the base angle. The extent to which you want to heat the blade, is determined only by experience of the installer - if not dogret fabric, it will be hard to pull and install, if overheated - it will jump out of the engagement, and in addition, lacquer painting can lose luster. Normally heated cloth should be stretched quite easily instead of garponom and normally stay in castles baguette. Only after achieving this status should begin immediately to install the canvas prints. Starting from any popular among your corner. The selected angle is removed from the "crocodile", which immediately removed to avoid interference, and then inserted into the groove garpona angled blade and use it to garpon blade catches on the prints. It is necessary to press down garpon fingers of his left hand on top in a place where it has already managed to catch a baguette, so it is not immediately jumped out of the engagement. Catching himself an angle, it is necessary to change the blade on a flat and continue the engagement garpona right and left of the corner until the moment when garpon will not be geared at least for the two locks on each side. Further, similarly interlock opposite and other corners. The fact that each subsequent corner is hooked increasingly difficult, should be considered normal. When all four corners are installed, you can start a link straight sections stretch ceiling. This is done already by direct blades and approximately. First two or three sections interlock lock in place the end of the seams cloths - so less likelihood of their subsequent distortion. Then the loose parts are divided in half and fixed in the center again for two or three locks. So until then, until the value of loose parts will not be such that the entire plot could fix without too much effort (usually up to 1 m). Next is the final link to the entire perimeter of the room. When this is done, you must check the quality of engagement cloth around the perimeter, check the tightness of fit to the ceiling paintings prints. If in any place adjacent to the blade loose baguette, you should fix the link. If everything is correct, then we get a fairly taut on canvas baguette that forms perfectly flat surface. The last operation - the unit of the external lighting installation (chandeliers). The first thing to do is prepare a reinforcing ring. Usually, it is made of eraser 3-4 mm thick. The plastic needs to combine conflicting requirements - durable and easy to process. Can be recommended to the foamed plastic stamps Komatex. The outer diameter of the ring should be such that it covered the cup chandeliers, interior - such that the ring easy to put on a fixed base ceiling hook chandeliers. In any case, the width of the ring should not be less than 5 mm. Typically, this condition is easily doable. Touch through the canvas ceiling hook are chandeliers, and in this place annotation marker. On the reinforcing ring is applied cyanoacrylate adhesive type continuous strip without tearing. This condition is required, otherwise the later canvas stretched ceiling crawl as holey stockings. After that the ring is attached to the front of the blade so that the felt-tip pen mark was made exactly in the center of the ring amplifier. Adhesives of this type are usually dry within a few seconds, so it has withstood the specified time, with a sharp knife such as a small wallpaper inside the ring canvas is cut in the resulting hole is stretched wire, connected to the chandelier, the chandelier and then just hung up on an old hook, which, if necessary, grow in length. This is the sequence of operations during the installation of simple stretch ceilings - the four corners and a chandelier. More complex ceilings incorporating pipes, recessed fixtures, circular elements, and then transitions the levels require a description. Unique As mentioned earlier, suspended ceilings made of PVC film offers the vast majority of manufacturers, are just some of them: the French company Barrisol, Carre Noir, Extenzo, DPS, Prestige Design (accidental suspended ceilings are sometimes called "French ceilings" ), Cerutti ST (Italy), Deckenfest (Germany). For comparison, the production of suspended ceilings made of thin polyester fabric (width 0,25 m, weight 200 g/m2), impregnated with a polyurethane composition be engaged in one single company - the Swiss firm Clipso. The width of a standard roll Clipso 4 m, and by special order - up to 5 m. Due to this width in most indoor ceilings can be done seamlessly. But if all it becomes necessary to combine multiple canvases, then connect them with a special profile or sew, because polyester fabric can not be welded. When ceiling mounting system Clipso takes only about 1 cm leaf polyester fabrics are very durable, water-resistant, not afraid of the big exercise, and even cuts, jabs and scratches. These characteristics make it possible to use this material for finishing the walls. The canvas is absolutely waterproof. In the case of a leak it will keep the surface water, and for the removal of water is enough to bend the angle of the ceiling, removing it from the fixture. A feature of this type of ceiling is that they are not painted before installation. Stretch ceiling made of polyester fabric or left white or painted with acrylic paints after installation (the entire surface or cause the figure). Not so long ago appeared on the market a special fabric with high-performance acoustic properties.
