Pros

• lack of joints (seams).The only options when they can still be - too large dimensions of the room (and there are bathrooms there even in large country houses), or a complex configuration (projections, niches).But this problem is solved by soldering pieces, while "line" connections visually noticeable, especially as it is - on the ceiling.

Cons

• high cost.This is a general lack of suspended ceilings.But first, which will cover the area?Bathrooms some rooms have a comparatively small.Secondly, there are paintings from different manufacturers, so we can restrict and budget option.
• impossibility of self-assembly.This less substantial.Indeed, soften and stretch the polymeric products without appropriate equipment (heat gun) will not work.And buy it for home use does not make sense.Therefore, only enter into a contract with a specialized company, which means that pay for this service.
• complexity of repair.In fact, the repair as such is not provided - point damage (puncture) does not count.But at a substantial defect - a cut, burn-through - you will need to replace the entire web.But how likely is such trouble in the bathroom?Unless specifically.So, this disadvantage can be disregarded.

Fabric ceiling

• Dignity - "breathes".This, as a rule, and emphasizes the manufacturers and sellers.Although it is how you look - plus or minus.It turns out that the evaporation will penetrate the material to overlap.Fungus and mold are provided (and get rid of them is not so easy), but they gradually damage and canvas.
• disadvantage - no matter what the manufacturer claims, but any cloth will sooner or later becomes wet.How dry?Ventilation, even forced, not solve the problem.To arrange a heating room?What instrument?After all, it should be directed action, "supercharged", and cover the entire ceiling area.Otherwise uneven drying is not the best way affect the durability of the web, and the time it will have to spend quite a lot, and constantly.
