These interior elements are successfully used all over the world to give the premises a pleasant, modern appearance. Their popularity is growing in Russia. Currently, the design of stretch ceilings is represented by the following varieties:
classic;
multi -level;
arched;
Three -dimensional (in shape very much resembles sand dunes).
About forms in details
The classic form of the product is one of the most elementary. Its main nodes are a polymer or elastic fabric membrane and a metal frame, which is also called the baguette. The minimum distance between the membrane and the plane of the ceiling area (the main) is usually from 30 to 40 mm. If engineering communications are planned in this space, then the distance can be increased to 100 mm or more. Of course, if the height of the room allows. Used baguetes can be of two types – visible and invisible. Both of them have a very complex form in the cross section. When using the invisible frame, the film adjoins the walls directly to the surface. The visible frame is mounted around the perimeter of the room, and therefore, after tensioning the film, part of the mounts remain visible. The plane of the membrane to the frame is carried out either by a harpoon or wedge -in. In the first case, a special edging with hooks is placed along the edge of the membrane. They are inserted into the corresponding grooves of the frame with subsequent fixation. In the second case, the film is attached directly to the baguette with the help of strips that clamps its edges in the corresponding grooves. Installation of all kinds of chandeliers and lamps, as well as other light sources are carried out directly on the main ceiling. Therefore, in the appropriate places of the membrane, holes are cut out for them. To protect the film, the edges of such holes must be framed by heat -insulating elements.
Nothing contributes to the implementation of the creative potential of professional designers as two -level stretch ceilings that belong to the class of multi -level varieties. It is two or more surfaces that pass into each other. The shape of the products can be both curved and flat, have a different texture and coloring. For the correct installation of products of this category, it is necessary to create a competent design project. When compiling it, a special frame is developed, which is attached not only to the ceiling region (main), but also to the planes of the walls of the room. In this case, the location of the lamps is of great importance. Since in their locations it is possible to adjust the configuration of planes and the formation of surface drops.
The arched form implies a smooth transition of a polymer or tissue membrane into the walls of the room. In this case, the height of the rise and the bending radius is selected in accordance with the height indicator, as well as the general concept of the interior. Indoor arches can be from one to four. Again, depending on the design idea. To equip this form option, a curved fixing profile is used.
The three -dimensional form in the form of sandy dunes or hills is one of the most complex structural. For this reason, its cost is much higher than other options. To develop the frame project, special software is used to work with volumetric graphics. Naturally, in this case, design fantasies are practically unlimited. In addition to the size of the room. Therefore, the most daring plans can be realized precisely when creating three -dimensional coatings for the ceiling area. Here we can also talk about an endless number of color options and forms. At the same time, it is important to note that the number and location of light sources provided for by the project for a particular room is of great importance.
It is also possible to install ceiling coating like “Star Sky”. The light flow generator, along with several optical-fiber lights, allows you to recreate the effect of flickering, cool and distant stars in the room. At the initial stage, a drawing of the future “sky” is created. According to him, in the space between the main ceiling and the film, lights connected to the light generator are placed. Special scatterers can be installed on their ends, which enhance the light effect.
As you can see, a variety of forms will allow each homeowner to choose exactly what you like. Do not only forget that the fabric or polymer membrane will only last a long time if its project will be developed with the participation of an experienced designer.
