Under the arch of tension

Tension ceilings appeared in Russia ten years ago and settled down for good reason. They provided an easy solution to a very unpleasant problems: cracks, stains, ugly seams, vertical drop floor decks are now resolved in 1-2 days in the complete absence of debris. And how chic! Have a look at the interior directory. What are the possibilities of different stretch ceiling? Vinyl murals Historically modern stretch system began with PVC. He focused on the vast majority of manufacturers whose products are available to Russians, and this the French, Belgians, Italians, Swedes, Swiss, Dutch. PVC film is a little thicker than the sheet good writing paper (from 0,15 - 0,35 mm) has a whole bunch of advantages. First: Vinyl remarkably interesting in terms of decor. Collections count to 60 - 100 flowers and dozens of invoices. Classic matte ceiling look like perfectly plastered, translucent reflect light, mirror and lacquered reflect it and thus visually increase the height of the room. There are imitation satin fabric, leather, suede, velvet, marble, Venetian plaster, "patina" and "gilded" the surface. Designers create an interesting interior, combining different cloth, placing them at several levels, arranging vaulted cascades. The most modest option costs 30 - 35 at. is, for 1 square. meters (approximately 25% more expensive than traditional complex antiseptirovanie + alignment + stucco + + three primer paint), the most expensive - 70 in. e. The material is uniformly stained the entire thickness, does not fade. If we consider that the beauty will need to refresh the earliest in 10 years, the profitability of investments there. But that's not all. It is proposed ceiling "painting." At a special thickened opaque fabric may be applied to one of the 200 images in the catalog or any other figure. Photos, paintings, engravings, a love note - anything you like, you only need to provide high-quality "source" in electronic form. Vinyl "fresco" with the mind quite like the real thing. Sizes, though limited, the picture will be a maximum of 2 x 8 m. As for the cost, it does not depend on the skill of the painter, large-scale works by Michelangelo and Andrei Rublev, and costs a maximum of 250 cu per 1 sq. km. m (right cheap!), the same number of full-color computer masterpiece beloved child. Second: the film is waterproof and at room temperature staunchly resisting harmful influences. Vendors willing to demonstrate the strength of the material to all comers, and poking a stick with a blunt end "in the sky." Sharp objects, of course, stabbed the film, as well - she did not do it. They say even a shot of champagne stopper will leave only a small dent, which will disappear by itself. Elasticity allows the vinyl long enough to hold up to 100 liters of water per 1 square meter, thus saving the apartment from the flood. The main thing - do not try to pull the moisture on their own. Gang masters will make it more agile and totally "bloodless", as ceiling and floor. Third: PVC technologically. Standard blade width 1,3 - 2,2 m easily built up by welding, cut out in accordance with the project. Material properties allow him how to pull on the frame. When heated to 65 - 70 of flexible PVC increases significantly, you can stretch in both directions, without fear of damage. Subsequent cooling to room temperature restores the original elasticity of the film, she "sits" on and over the years stores bodied. Firm guarantee minimum slack (about 1% of the length of the diagonal), which largely depends on the mode of attachment, and in any case be offset by the installation of additional supporting elements. Weight Matter 180 - 320 grams per square meter, so that a circuit is usually controlled by two men. Use different types of fixation. Harpoon technology provides welded around the perimeter of the edging blade more rigid PVC. In the section it is a hook (harpoon), which is the master gears for the response of the profile, a screwed to the wall or to the floor slab. Cutting in this case requires a very precise and always in factory conditions, sometimes even an order is sent abroad. But then, if necessary, the suspended ceiling can be easily dismantled and re-mount. Loss of height of the room - 2,7 - 3,5 cm (when installing suspended ceiling tiles or rigid rods lost at least 7 cm). Wedge and cam technology democratic, ekstratochnost not needed here. The canvas is fixed in the grooves of the profile, both in the hoop - or plastic wedges, followed by an overlay of decorative moldings, or Expansion cams. When cutting make allowance in the 10 - 15 cm in size to customize the installation process, cut off the excess. Second time to pull a ceiling complicated. But by virtue of design features mounting frame loss of height is reduced to 1 cm "Cons" from polyvinyl chloride, of course, too. For example, it is impossible to arrange such ceilings in unheated buildings. Even airing in the winter is usually warm room, should be vigilant, because at low temperatures the material loses its elasticity, and in 40-degree frost becomes brittle. Or here's another: any technology used in fixing requires pre-heating. Absolutely no smell is not bypassed, and the windows should not be opened until the temperature becomes normal. "Breathing" is a vinyl ceiling? In fact, for the townspeople, who decided on the moisture-resistant wallpaper, and windows, this question is irrelevant, and yet ... No, the integrity of the film does not "breathe", but an opportunity to ventilate the space between the black surface and finish there. Those for whom this point of principle, manufacturers offer a perforated film. There is also a speaker series, a collection with antiseptic properties that are designed specifically for children and medical clinics. PVC with nylon "reinforcement" Novelty is a dense grid of 1-mm cells. Thickness of vinyl reinforced with nylon thread, 0.4 mm, the weight of 1 sq. km. m - 250 width fabrics - 2,1 - 3,2 m. The grid does not save from the flood, but, unlike the film, endure cold, mounted not only horizontally but also vertically. It is not "are leaving" in places cuts, so in this case holes lamps and tubes are reinforced with plastic is not. Mounting options are two: with slings (20 - 70 at. AU) and the baguette on wedge technology (20 - 70 at. E.), both without heat. The material is made of any of the basic colors of the spectrum. On the canvas can do applique, pressed into it transparent "windows" sew metal zipper. Used printer. Clarity of color and durability of images confirmed the 10-year warranty. And yet, in grace "hammocks", perhaps, inferior films. Owners of city apartments to be seven times to think, what style of room draw. Another thing - in offices, sports facilities and concert halls. There composite always appropriate. Discreet Charm of polyurethane-impregnated polyester fabric is just beginning to compete with PVC and has already proven itself a good hand. Material as vlagouporen, but is more stable and hladostoek. Retains flexibility to -30 C, it is quite possible to use, say, a glazed loggia. More environmentally friendly. As is known in Russia polyester make clothes for babies, made of polyurethane - disposable tableware and PVC, admitted only to the production of household containers for inedible products. The technology allows to produce fabrics of width up to 5 m (standard offer vary from manufacturer: 1,5, 3,2; 3.6, 4, 4.5, 4.8, 5 m), up to 100 m. In other words, 25-square meter room seamless finish is obtained, whereas the whole flap PVC film is not close and the 5-meter square. Coating weight 200 - 300 g / m, thickness - 0,24 - 0,25 mm. Increasing matter of "cold" method:: stitch, and often combined with an optional two-sided profile that professionals somehow called a separator. Interestingly the installation process. Polyester - shrink, not expand when heated, but rather compressed. Therefore, the canvas is not heating up, season to pristrelenny to the wall or the ceiling moldings and fix the cord. Then treated with a hair dryer building capacity of 1 kW (furniture from the room can not stand). Technological gap and the seams are decorated bar. As a result, trim sits on the frame as tight as a drumhead. If you ceiling mount ceiling height is reduced by only 1 to see if the room is a solid piece, it makes sense to take care of a secret attachment. Not so long ago one of the producers suggested cordless baguette with a visible part of 3-4 mm. Thin strip of white plastic tight to the wall. I must say, fixing PVC also can be done discreetly, but it raises the cost of construction. Price - from 24 at. , with the installation, ie, slightly more expensive than drywall finishing "in the collection." Impact on the price of floor space, reveal the complexity of installation, the number of holes for the fixtures, especially making the coating itself (brands differ not only in name), the marketing policy of dealers. Perhaps the only thing the "polyester" as long as inferior to "vinyl" - decorative possibilities. Classical sheet produced only white and only with fabric texture, special acoustic (with micro) - black and white. Want to brightness? After mounting the ceiling stain polyvinyl acetate water-dispersion paints in any color. Abhorrent to the idea of ??painting works? Before the installation will cause large-format printer using any image to order. The foundation will not shine, you can provide almost photographic quality, but the mirror gloss and luxury gold lettering still do not get - have to order PVC. Fiberglass innovation Russian rationalization idea - to use in the ceiling design of domestic fabric to cover the insulating layer of the pipeline. The so-called coiled GRP (PCT) was originally designed to "work" in hostile environments at temperatures from -40 to +60 ° C. He is not afraid of water (although it misses), biologically resistant, does not support combustion, and has a thermal conductivity of wood and What is important, costs only 30 rubles per 1 sq. km. m. The width of leaf - 1,1 m. The bands glued back to back with the help of patches. A small upgrade V-mount would solve the problem of installation: the material in contrast to the vinyl does not stretch. Upon completion of installation work, the ceiling TONE water-dispersion paint, which will likely require periodic updating. The original mounting profile, cutting, service plumbers, painters, increase the cost of "raw material" in 10 - 20. The warranty on fabric - 5 years on installation - 1 year. In principle, normally, although others vouch for the free operation of its tension production yield for 10 years. Think makes another fact. Use of materials for other purposes is fraught with ... So before you decide to experiment, ask a health certificate, allows to use the matter in a residential installation. Light at ceilings are used, or halogen, and fluorescent and incandescent lamps, except that the fastener in a plane blade imposes some restrictions on the power. Available virtually all traditional methods of lighting, even more than that: central - with a chandelier in the middle, perimeter reflected light - who are looking up floor lamps, or lamps, mounted on the cornice, spot - a scattering of "eyes", the unique light patterns - "starry sky" spectacular than in planetarium. Diffuse light spots and bright stars are obtained through the use of LEDs or opto-fibers. VIP-aesthetics create lenses Swarovski, connected by fiber optics. With the help of a programmable panel you can specify different frequency flickering "stars". Try to control your own galaxy!
