How to choose the right material for suspended ceilings - all the pros and cons of fabric and PVC

Stucco premises using special hardware (located on the perimeter) and paintings is probably the most popular option in the private sector.Technology features - a separate and rather big topic.We also deal with another question - what material to choose for the ceiling of a tension-type?

Fabric

Basis - polyurethane filament, which are woven into the whole fabric, which is further impregnated with special materials to improve certain properties of the substrate.Therefore, we are not talking about normal tissue.

the cloth

Pros:

  • «porosity" of the material.fabric weaving technology for stretch ceiling contributes to the formation of micro voids between the filaments.Consequently, the fabric is able to "breathe".As a result - the ceiling is not condensed evaporation, increases the quality of the natural ventilation.
  • Increased reliability and durability.This is achieved mainly views impregnating agent.
  • «Environmentally friendly" material.Unlike webs of PVC, it does not contain toxic components.
  • Possibility of decoration fabrics.On it easy to apply additional images, patterns and the like;such ceilings can whitewash or paint.
  • large size paintings.Even when you make a large amount of space on the ceiling, you can arrange seamless.This is the advantage of the tissues reduces the time to production work.
  • inert material to low temperatures.The best option of stretch ceiling in the room, which may at some time interval is not heated.For example, in a country house.
  • Easy to install.First, all operations can be performed independently, in a relatively short time.Perhaps this is one of the main advantages of this material, despite the fact that its installation does not require heat gun.Second, precision cutting fabric for tension ceiling is desired, but not required - easy excess to trim household scissors.
  • life (subject to the rules of installation and care) - not less than 22 years.

Cons:

  • fairly modest palette of tissue that limits the range of options for decorating the ceiling.
  • need for periodic maintenance of the material.Since there are pores, then they will become clogged.The complexity of care that on their own, to the same high quality, clean cloth suspended ceiling is unlikely to succeed.We'll have to apply to the specialized organization and pay for this work.
  • gradual absorption (and "retention") odors, some tightening in the excessive heat.Therefore, stretch fabric ceilings are limited to installation - in the kitchen or dining room decorated to make this material inappropriate.
  • Irreversible damage to the material when wet.If the suspended ceilings of the other polymers on top of the flood is not terrible, for the tissue - it is harmful.Usually, after such situations, replacing the entire web.

Price stretch ceiling cloth (1 m²) - from 820 rubles.

PVC stretch ceiling

Pros:

  • Many design options of a stretch ceiling.Firstly, a great range of color material (shade).Secondly, the creation of any simulation, volumetric images (pictures).The possibilities are limited only by imagination of the design professional.
  • Easy care stretch ceiling made of PVC.The film is enough to wipe with a soft brush or cloth, so that it has acquired the original appearance.
  • Upon contact with water the material does not change its characteristics.Even the repeated flooding of the neighbors on the floor above is not the reason for the replacement of the web.
  • Inertia to external factors.Odor does not absorb, it is not afraid to ultraviolet light, and does not burn.
  • acceptable cost.Installation of PVC ceiling will be cheaper than woven material.

Cons:

  • PVC is sensitive to low temperatures.Therefore, installation of a stretch ceiling made of this material is carried out only in a heated room or during the warmer months.
  • The limited width of the film.According to the maximum - 2.5 m Hence, one way or another, on the ceiling 2 -. 3 seam will be.For a small room it is not unimportant, and may have implications for overall.But that's not all: Another minus "shovnosti" paintings - reducing its strength, as with any combination of separate fragments.
  • necessity of heating the material during installation.Since a heat gun, self-PVC stretch ceiling is not set - will invite professionals (hardly anyone will buy special / equipment, and quite expensive for a one-time operation).And it's not always convenient, since before their arrival will have a fully liberate the room from furniture, appliances and other things.And what to do with a new floor covering?For example, a material such as block parquet or board.Accordingly, the ceilings of the material it is advisable to set before the main events on the repair in the room.That is a limitation in the application still exists.
  • cutting complexity.It is not difficult to cut, and the accuracy of the process.Small deviations can make the web unsuitable for installation in a particular room.
  • little slack material.For large areas - a significant caveat.
  • Restrictions on lighting.Since the material is easily deformed by thermal effect, you have to carefully choose the lighting to install them in such a tension ceiling - and the number and power.
  • toxicity dyes.Much depends on the manufacturer - which formulations are used for the treatment of material, and it is produced from a raw material.That's why experts recommend to conclude a contract for the installation of suspended ceilings with a proven, reputable firms.The desire to save will cause that can be corny "bump" on the cheap "chemistry" with a large percentage of harmful components.
  • service life less than the web of fabric - about 15 years.

Recommendation - prior to installation is not shun and sniff the material.The pungent smell - a clear sign of low-grade products.

Price PVC stretch ceiling (RUB / m², with installation) - 390 (Russian-made) and 485 (imported).
