Tension ceiling with your own hands - General rules of installation. Independent installation of stretch ceiling How to do stretch ceilings Step by step instructions

Advantages and shortcomings

Of course, there are pros and cons of stretch ceilings. I will give only the most important features that can affect the choice of ceiling finishes.

The advantages of stretch ceilings:

  1. Perfectly smooth surface. The stretched canvas form a plane without distortion and folds, while it perfectly masks the defects of any ceiling overlap. This is true for both large areas and small rooms (such as bathrooms, balconies and loggias).
  1. Moisture resistance.The ceiling canvas is most often done from materials well carrying moisturizing. If in the living room or bedroom it is not so important, then, for example, on the balcony, the moisture resistance of the overlap will be one of the priority factors.
  2. Additional heat and sound insulation. Pulling the ceiling under the overlap, we form a practically a hermetic air cavity with a thickness of 40 to 150 mm. This "air pocket" is a buffer on the path of loud sounds, in addition, it significantly reduces heat loss.
  1. Beautiful appearance. Here, perhaps, comments are superfluous - and glossy vinyl film, and stretched tissue, and even more so the canvas with drawings look very attractive.

Minuses:

  1. Small strength. The stretched canvas can break through point mechanical exposure, and it is necessary to take into account.
  1. Tendency to temperature deformations.When the temperature drops, the stretched canvases (especially polymer) can either be saved or wrinkled. It is well noticeable in places where there is a clearly localized draft.

In a strong cold, the vinyl canvas loses its elasticity and breaks with relatively low loads. This is one of the key problems with which you have to face, mounting the ceilings on balconies and loggias.

  1. High price.The canvas itself costs a lot (from 150 rubles per square - domestic and Chinese materials, 500 rubles and higher - European). In addition, the installation of the ceiling, performed by experts, also "flies to a penny". You can save, by performing work with your own hands, but here you have to spend time and strength, as well as study technology.

If you still decided to deal with yourself how to make stretch ceilings in all the rules, then go further.

What is needed for work?

To install the stretch ceiling, we will need a set of tools.

Illustration Tool
Perforator with a brown on concrete or brick.

Screwdriver.

Measuring tools:
  • roulette;
  • water level;
  • corolnic;
  • laser level.

Plumbers for stretch ceiling:
  • smooth;
  • angular;
  • semicircular.

Corner clamps for the canvas.

Heat gun.

Construction hairdryer.

Knife for trimming.

In addition to the tools, we will need adaptations to work at height. In principle, you can do with a solid stool (especially if the installation is performed in a small room, for example, on the loggia). But in practice it is more convenient to work with a mobile rack.

Tension ceiling device

Step 1. Selection of the canvas

Before embarking on the installation, we need to purchase everything you need. The design of stretch ceilings is quite simple and usually includes two main elements: a web and a fastening system.

The comparative characteristics of vinyl and tissue canvases are present in the table:

Parameter Vinyl the cloth
Strength Sufficient to use indoors, but at the same time relatively low. The polymer film is easy to rush, so when installing, and care must be taken. Significantly higher than that of vinyl canvases. To break, of course, it is possible, but for this you need to make serious efforts.
Color spectrum Extensive, including both monochrome and patterned options.

Separately, it is worth highlighting vinyl stretch canvas with photo printing.

Relatively small.

On the other hand, a meager choice of colors is compensated by a variety of textures.

Parp permeability Low, which can lead to a violation of natural ventilation. Sufficient to prevent education in cold rooms.
Temperature deformations The polymer canvas is strongly deformed when the temperature drops, which can lead to damage or serious deterioration of the appearance of the ceiling. Due to the mesh structure, the fabric is practically not deformed.
Mounting complexity The technology is quite simple and forgives many flaws with novice.

Minus is the need to use a heat gun.

Qualitatively pull the tissue canvas without folds and wrinkles is quite difficult.
On the other hand, the high strength of the material allows it to correctly adjust its position until the desired result is reached.

Make an unequivocal choice in favor of PVC film (polyvinyl chloride or vinyl ceiling) or fabric is impossible. As you can see, both options have features, and therefore it depends on the specific conditions of use.

For example, for the bathroom or kitchen, I would take the vinyl, not absorbing moisture. And for the balcony, on which the temperature differences will be sufficiently pronounced, the fabric will fit better.

Step 2. Selection of the fastener system

The following is a fastener system. There are three options here:

Illustration Type of fastening system

Cartoon.
  1. A profile with a groove is installed on the wall around the perimeter.
  2. According to the example of the canvas, plastic edging with the protrusion is harpoon.
  3. When installing, the edging starts into the profile, and the protrusion clings to the edge of the groove, fixing the canvas.

Stocked.
  1. As in the first case, the wall mount is represented by the profile of the P-shaped form with internal latches.
  2. When installing the edge of the canvas start in the profile groove.
  3. Fixation is ensured by a special triangular part - a wedge or a stapper. The chapper is pressed into the groove and fixes the edge of the canvas.

Clean.
  1. Unlike the two previous options, in this system there is only one fastener element - the wall profile-clothespin.
  2. The edge of the canvas is started in profile and recorded due to the elasticity of "clothespins".
  3. Minus such a design is a weak clamp that provides low reliability.

From the point of view of self-installation, a harpoon system that combines simplicity and reliability is preferable. The clip does not keep the cloth so reliably, and the stroke is somewhat more complicated in the installation.

On the other hand, the harpoon is welded on the edge of the material only in the factory conditions, which slightly reduces the ability to save.

Step 3. Memorial Measurement

If a strap or clips system is used, then the canvas, and we buy profiles with a margin. For the harpoon attachment, it is important to precisely measure the perimeter, because the harpoon must be installed on the web during its manufacture.

Instructions for measuring the ceiling:

  1. On the paper sheet, blacksmith.
  2. Build a basic line. From the ceiling we make the necessary indent to a minimum of 40-50 mm, when installing built-in luminaires - up to 150 mm. With the help of a laser level, beat the horizontal on the wall.
  3. We wash around the perimeter of the room, carrying the length of the length of each wall on the circuit.
  1. We precise the lengths of diagonals, To monitor the rectangle of the ceiling. If the values \u200b\u200bdo not coincide, this indicates that the walls are not allowed at right angles. This must be considered when ordering the canvas, making a small allowance.

If the room has a complex form, additionally simplify the distances between opposite angles.

Based on the resulting scheme, we purchase the fastening profile and order the tensioning canvas.

Step 4. Preparation of the base, installation of profile and additional devices

Now we'll figure it out how to do stretch ceilings with your own hands. You need to start with the preparation of the foundation, installation of the fastening system and gaskets.

Work is advisable to carry out in an empty room. In addition, if the installation of a polymer ceiling is planned, providing for air heating with a heat gun, from you need to endure everything that may suffer from high temperature. First of all, there are indoor plants electronics, expensive lacquered furniture, etc.

Illustration Stage of preparation

Preparation of the foundation.

All surfaces that will be hidden under the stretch ceiling, process the antiseptic to protect against fungus.

If necessary (for example, when the stretch ceiling is mounted on a glazed balcony) around the perimeter, we fix the wooden rail to which the profile will be attached. In the future, this rail will have to hide the arsen.


Marking under profile.

By perimeter, using a laser level, we carry out a horizontal line, for which we will put the mounting profile.

You can use the markup, which we were performed at the perimeter measurement.


Cutting profile.

The mounting profile panels cut into size. For trimming, we use either hacksaw for metal, or a stationary disk saw.


Installing profile.

Profile apply to walls and fasteners.

Installation on wooden panels are carried out using self-tapping screws.

For mounting on brick and concrete walls, we use anchors with a plastic sleeve (6x40 mm) which are clogged in pre-drilled nests.


Registration of the joints of the profile.

Connection of the profile panels with a spatula. So that the burrs do not damage the canvas, carefully we pull the joints with several layers of foil tape.


The base for the lamp.

At the installation site, the chandeliers fix the plywood plate or plastic stand on metal mounts (brackets for the suspended ceiling with a thickness of at least 0.7 mm).

I exhibit the base on the level, focusing on the stretched cords or laser marking.


Lamps for hidden illumination.

The bases of ceiling lamps for the stretch ceiling are also installed in the selected places. Adjust the base height in such a way that they are slightly higher than the level of the canvas.

We bring to all points of lighting the wires in the cable channels.

Step 5. Pulling the web and installation of lighting

Further, our actions describes a step-by-step instruction:

Illustration Montaja Stage

Installing suspensions.

In the corners of the room to the "crocodiles" profile installed on the walls, "crocodiles". We will use them for temporary fixation of the ceiling.


Welcome canvas.

Actually, the installation of the stretch ceiling begins with the deployment of the material.

Two canvas angle cling to suspensions, following the harpoon (if the harpoon system is used) was in the correct position.

Carefully deploy the canvas, and cling to the suspensions remaining corners.


Warming up the room.

Turn on the heat gun and warming up the room to about 50 ° C. Thanks to this, the canvas stretches and become more elastic.

The windows and doors should be tightly closed - so we will spend less energy for heating.

When installing tissue varieties, the heating of the web is not required.


Fastening the corners.

We start fixing the canvas in the profile. With a spatula, we turn the edge of the canvas in the groove and fix it - either by the harpoon or a stroke.

The optimal distance to which the canvas needs to be secured is about 40 cm on each side of the angle.


Fastening of smooth sections.

Using an even flat spatula, fix the cloth around the perimeter. We work alternately on each wall, trying to pull the ceiling as uniform as possible.

Stretched with a canvas heating the heat gun to save elasticity. After cooling, the material will decrease in sizes, and the ceiling will become perfectly smooth.


Putting holes for lighting appliances.

In front of the base mounted on the ceiling for chandeliers and embedded luminaires on the tensioned cloth, glue thermal insulating rings.

When glue dries, carefully cut the film inside the ring and output the wires for connecting to the terminals.

The lamps themselves are desirable to mount only after the complete completion of the repair.

Once the installation of the stretch ceiling was considered exclusively as a way to hide a hopeless uneven capital ceiling. But by now, these designs have learned how to do so spectacular that they are often installed even with absolutely smoothly lying plates. Let's see what the ceilings come and how to correct them with their own hands.

Types of stretch ceilings

Stretch ceilings can be classified by several features.

By the material of the panel

There are two varieties:

  • pVC film;
  • the cloth.

Polyvinyl chloride film (PVC)

It has a smooth surface that can be matte, glossy or satin. The latter is as well as glossy, has a reflective surface. But the reflection is soft, blurred.

The color of the PVC film can be almost any, including pearl and "under chrome". It is possible to apply images using the method of photo printing. In addition, the canvas can be made translucent.

The surface of the polyvinyl chloride film can be matte, glossy or satin

In addition to the diversity of colors, the following advantages can be noted:

  • low cost;
  • the ability to wash off the dirt;
  • waterproof (when flooding from above, the cloth stretches and will hold water);
  • there is anti-gribal coating;
  • applied "Capoon" method of fastening characterized by high reliability.

However, it is necessary to take into account that PVC films:

  • cannot be installed in unheated premises (cracking at negative temperatures);
  • easily damage to acute objects;
  • do not have sound insulation properties;
  • may attract dust due to electricality;
  • serve for only 12 years.

Polyester or polyester fabric with impregnation polyurethane

To make moisture resistance, the canvas are additionally treated with varnish. The tissue ceiling is rough and reminds very high-quality plaster. The surface can imitate satin, suede; Also popular are two-layer fabric ceilings that are made by applying fabrics with embossed on the mesh base. It is possible to apply images using the photo printing method.

Fabric cloth can imitate suede, satin. It is easily applied by any image using the photo printing method.

By a variety of design, the fabric ceiling is inferior to PVC analogue, but he has his advantages:

  • you can paint acrylic paint (4 layers are allowed);
  • produces an impression of expensive material;
  • more contributes to the creation of a cozy home environment (PVC film is inherent in an unnatural cold shine);
  • it is considered to be fireproof material (processed by impregnation, preventing fire);
  • has a service life of 20-25 years;
  • has high strength (not so much afraid of acute items);
  • not electrified and therefore does not attract dust;
  • easily tolerate low temperatures up to -40 0 s;
  • to install, it does not need to heat the cloth and the room;
  • it has higher, in comparison with PVC, sound insulation properties.

It is impossible to wash such a canvas, so install it, for example, in the kitchen is not recommended. It is also not suitable for rooms with high humidity, as it misses couples (on the capital ceiling, mold will be divorced due to dampness). When flooding, the tissue ceiling will not hold water - it will leak through it. If the water blow will be too strong, such a web due to low elasticity can be broken from fasteners.

The fabric ceiling is suitable for premises with an expensive interior.

By type of blade

Two options are also available:

Whole (seamless)

These are usually fabric ceilings, since the roll of this material in width can reach 5.0 m. From widescreen rolls, you can carve out the workpiece under the ceiling of any configuration - if only one of its sides was not more than the roll width. Stretch ceiling structures that do not have a seam are mounted for 4-5 hours.

With the help of a wide panel, the ceiling can be made perfectly smooth, regardless of the state of its base

For the installation of seamless ceiling does not require the use of heat gun.

But there is a significant drawback from ceiling systems: with the slightest damage to the canvas, it is necessary to produce its complete replacement.

Wide PVC films are available now, but the transverse size of such a panel is only 4.5 m.

Compound (in the design there are seams)

Usually, it is necessary to make PVC web, as the film is mainly supplied in narrow rolls - up to 130 cm. The seams connecting the film strips among themselves is carried out using a high-frequency welding machine. The connection line must be durable, since large loads are attached to it, and at the same time invisible. The process of obtaining a seam with such characteristics is complex, without experience it is better not to take.

The equipment is equipped with a set of electrodes for the canvas and harpoon

Designers have long turned the problem of narrow cloths into dignity, practicing multicolor ceilings when zoning the room or to create an unusual atmosphere in it.

The seams on glossy materials are most noticeable. The more lamps on the ceiling, the more rushing the joints of the strips. Almost invisite seams on matte and satin surfaces.

The seam thickness is directly proportional to the thickness of the main material.

You can disguise the links of the joints by placing them perpendicular to the windows. And the chandeliers are placed at the same distance from the seams.

By constructive execution

Apply several varieties of stretch ceiling:

  1. Normal single-level. The most infertility, when the one-only fragment of the canvas is stretched under the ceiling.

    Despite its simplicity, stretched ceiling, located in the same plane, attached to the room elegant restraint

  2. Multi-level. The ceiling is broken into several sections, each of which is at different heights. It looks like this design is very interesting, especially if you correctly pick up the lighting.

    Multi-level stretch ceiling reliably masked large irregularities of overlapping and give the room originality

  3. 3D ceiling. It is suitable for something like this: stretching the canvas, let's say, with the image of a cloudy sky, under it - a transparent canvas with the image of a flying bird. We get a volumetric picture that produces an unforgettable impression on the viewer.

    The effect of the bulk image is achieved by mounting a two-layer stretch ceiling, the lower from which is performed from a transparent material. On him and the main image is applied - Bird, Butterfly Flower and PR

  4. Ceiling "Starry sky". For the web there are many LEDs or light guides, "distributing" light from the lamp. We get the illusion of stars above your head, which, in the case of the use of LEDs, also flicker.

    The ceiling "Starry Sky" is appropriate in the bedroom

Calculation of the number of canvas and components

To calculate, it is necessary to measure the room with great accuracy (the maximum permissible error is 5 mm), which is a prerequisite for the proper preparation of baguette planks. The total length of their length will be equal to the perimeter of the room, that is, the sum of the lengths of all of its sides: p \u003d a + b + c + d.

The opposite parties are not always equal in length, since the room may be in a plan, different from the perfect rectangle. Therefore, under the measurements, it is necessary to determine the length of each of the 4 sides.

For a round ceiling, the perimeter is determined by the formula p \u003d π x D, where π \u003d 3.14; D - the diameter of the room.

In addition to the main baguette, which is attached around the perimeter, you may need the so-called separation profile. It is applied if the length of the room exceeds 8 m. With such sizes, it is impossible to avoid wire wires, so the ceiling is separated into two parts by separation profile. Usually its length is equal to the width of the room.

The area of \u200b\u200bthe canvas in the simplest case when the room is strictly rectangular, is determined by the formula S \u003d a x b, where a and b are the length of the adjacent walls. But the fact is that the conditions, as mentioned, are not always so perfect. Here is an example of a room that actually received a pentagonal shape due to curvature of the walls.

The total area of \u200b\u200bthe stretch ceiling is defined as the sum of the simplest polygons

In such cases, the plan of the room is drawn up and divided into simple figures, in this example - on a triangle and square. The square of the square is determined by the product of the lengths of the parties, and the triangle - according to the formula S \u003d √ (p x (P - a) x (p - b) x (p - c)), where the lines A, B and C are indicated by the lengths of the sides, and the litera P is a half-meter (p \u003d 0.5 x (a + b + c)).

If this triangle was rectangular, that is, his two parties were crossed at an angle of 90 degrees, then the area would have calculated on a simpler formula S \u003d (A x b) / 2, where a and b - the length of the parties intersecting at right angles.

For a round ceiling or an element on a two-level ceiling, the area of \u200b\u200bthe canvas is calculated by the formula S \u003d 0.25 x (π x D 2).

In the case of applying a stroke or cam mount, the size of the canvas must be taken with some reserve.

In addition to profiles and canvas, you need to purchase a dowel, which profiles will be attached to the wall. The mounting step is usually 8 cm, that is, to determine the number of dowels, the perimeter of the room taken in meters should be divided by 0.08. For the reserve to the obtained value you need to add 7%.

Instruments

To install the stretch ceiling, the installer will be needed:

  • water level (two glass tubes connected by hose);
  • coloring cord;
  • drill with a shock mechanism or a perforator;
  • screwdriver or screwdriver;
  • folding transport;
  • thermal gun (for the ceiling of PVC);
  • mounting blade (can be replaced with a spatula);
  • marker.

To dismantle such tools are used:

  • spatula: In order not to damage the canvas, you need to drink sharp corners with an abrasive tool, and then wrap the work part with a reinforced tape;
  • passatia with elongated sponges: burrs, if they are, you need to clean and polish so that the work surfaces are smooth;
  • montarian knife;
  • shutter with a bent sting;
  • heat gun (for dismantling PVC ceiling);
  • step mark or durable table.

Methods for fastening the web

All stretch ceilings, regardless of their species, are attached to a special profile (baguette), which is installed around the perimeter of the room. But methods for fixing the canvas on the baguette are different:

Garpoon

This method is fixed only by PVC ceilings. The edge of the canvas is welded a soft profile, which has a protrusion. If you look at the bar in the context, then thanks to this protrusion, it will resemble the harpoon, which is why this type of fastening and received such a name. Being inserted into the baguette, the bar clings for him with his protrusion and thus holds a stretched canvas.

Scheme of the device of the harpoon fastening of the tension ceiling cloth

Cartoon fastening method is the most reliable.

Strapic

For fastening the stretch ceiling with the assistance of a stroke, a baguette of the P-shaped form is used. First, the edge of the canvase is started in it (for this it should have some reserve), and then a narrow rail is driven - a pipital. Excess the canvas after tensioning are trimmed, after which the baguette is closed below the decorative plug or ribbon.

A stroke method is usually used for the installation of tissue ceilings, the material of which does not allow you to screw the harpoon profile. But it can be used to install PVC panels.

The stroke method of fastening the stretch ceiling is used for materials to which it is impossible to weld harpuna

The advantages of the method are:

  • low cost (the cheapest way of all);
  • the ability to do with the minimum indentation from the main ceiling: usually 1.5-2 cm is enough;
  • quick installation;
  • during premises, high accuracy is not required;
  • a minimum set of tools is used.

Disadvantages are as follows:

  • when dismantling, part of the web has to trim;
  • the method is not suitable for creating multi-level or combined ceilings;
  • in some situations, there is no possibility to evenly stretch the canvas, which is why it can be saved.

Cutter

In this case, the baguette of a special design is applied - a cam in which there is a movable spring-loaded element. Folded twice the edge of the film is filled with a special shovel or a spatula in the gap between the fixed and moving elements. At the same time, the latter is easily rejected.

You can fill the clips in the clip using a spatula or a special blade

When the film under the action of the tension forces seeks to escape from the cam, it affects the protrusion of the movable part and it is pressed to the fixed, blocking the film. Thus, the cam is self-apparatus capture. In everyday life, it is also called "clothespin."

Step-by-step instructions for installation with your own hands

The combination of operations on the device of stretch ceilings is divided into:

  • preparatory;
  • basic.

Preparatory stage

By the time the installation began, the following works should be performed:

  • laying the lighting wires under the ceiling;
  • alignment of walls (special attention should be paid to the upper part, where the baguette of the stretch ceiling will be attached);
  • wall decoration, while the facing material must be fixed quite firmly;
  • garbage collection;
  • if a PVC ceiling is to be installed - removal from the room of wooden furniture and plastic objects, protecting RAM PVC windows with thermal insulation from a folded to several layers of the tissue (all these items may be damaged when the room is heated).

Installation of PVC ceiling

Operations are performed in the following sequence:

  1. Determine the lowest angle of the ceiling. To do this, with the help of a water level in the corners of the room, you need to smear the risks lying in one horizontal plane. Next, the distance from each risk to the ceiling angle located above it is measured. The angle is closer to the appropriate risk, is the lowest.
  2. Having retreated from the lower angle of 2-3 cm, which are necessary for the convenience of fastening profiles, put a marker mark, after which, with the help of a water level at the same height, marks in other angles and along the walls.

    For greater accuracy markup, it is advisable to use the laser level

  3. With the help of folding transport, the angle is measured under which each pair of adjacent walls intersects. This is necessary in order to properly fit profiles.
  4. Crop the ends of profiles at an angle equal to half the angle between the walls, after which they screw them with dowels to the walls along the marks applied using a water level.

    All tropped profiles are processed with a skewer removal. This operation will help preserve the integrity of the panel

  5. Wooden bars for mounting chandeliers and other lighting sources are screwed to the main ceiling. The thickness of the bars is selected in such a way that their lower surface touch the canvas will sometime be installed. In the same way - through wooden bars - all other elements stipulated by the design of the room are attached to the main ceiling.
  6. Put the wires of lighting to the location of the lamps.
  7. The room is heated using a heat gun to a temperature of +60 0 C. In such conditions, the PVC film will become plastic and it can be very stretched.

    The air temperature in the room during the installation of the stretch ceiling should be 60 degrees

  8. Deploy PVC cloth and begin to install. The angle to be fixed first has a mark. Fixing it in the baguette with the help of harpoon or a stapper, the opposite is the opposite, and then two remaining.

    The cloth is fixed for the opposite corners, and then fastened around the perimeter in the direction from the corners to the middle of the side

  9. Fasten the side of the panels, moving from the corners to the middle.
  10. From the bottom on the baguettes, plugs or special ribbons that hide the place of attachment of the canvas are installed.
  11. Now you need to wait for the cooling of the room. When the film cools together with him, it tightly stretches and the stretch ceiling will become perfectly smooth. After that, in places where the installation of lamps is assumed, special rings are glued to the canvase. When the glue is grabbing, you can cut the hole inside the ring.

Installation of the stretch ceiling is complete.

Installation of fabric ceiling

To install the textile panel, heating, as already mentioned, is not required. After installing baguettes (performed according to the same scheme as for PVC ceiling), they are applied as follows:

  1. Fluor with a shovel or spatula, the edge of the canvas is raised into the baguette on the short side of the room.
  2. Fasten the web with temporary retainers after 50-70 cm, and the extreme of them should be located at least 30 cm from the corners.
  3. Fasten the cloth on the opposite side, stretching it at the same time. You need to move from the middle of the wall to the corners.
  4. Consistently fix the cloth on the long sides of the room.
  5. In the presence of folds, they need to warm themselves with a typical hairdryer - synthetic tissue when heated is tightened.
  6. Extra edges of the canvas sticking out of baguettes are cut off.

No need to completely trim the surplus of the web - you should leave a couple of centimeters. If you bring to remove the cloth and then set it again, then it will be impossible to pull it without such a stock.

In conclusion, the rings are glued and cutting holes for lamps.

Care rules

If during the operation of the stretch ceiling from PVC managed to be very covered with mud, it can be washed using a special detergent. The sponge must be soft, and it is not allowed to put pressure on the surface. Invalid is the use of abrasive detergents.

A slightly contaminated surface will rather wipe with a wet cloth, also acting extremely delicately.

If the surface of the web is a glossy, it should be periodically wiped with a liquid for washing a glass or polyrolle - these compositions restore shine. A similar effect is processed by a solution of ammonic alcohol.

The tissue ceiling is possible in order to be put in order to a dry method - a soft brush or a special vacuum cleaner intended for delicate cleaning. Only in extreme cases are resorted to wet cleaning, while you need to use detergents of soft action and try not to rub the same place for a long time.

How to remove the stretch ceiling yourself

If it is necessary to replace communications located behind the stretch ceiling or during the damage to the baguette, as well as for drying the undercover space after flooding from above, the design has to be removed. It is necessary to do it correctly, otherwise you can damage the cloth, so it will only be left to throw it away. Dismantle technology, like installation, will be considered separately for PVC and tissue ceilings.

PVC ceiling dismantling

Cartoon mount, which in the overwhelming case is used to fasten the PVC ceiling, allows dismantling quite easily. That's what you need to do:

  1. As before installation, plastic and wooden items can be taken out of the room, which can damage the heating. If PVC windows are installed, the frames should be imposed by improvised thermal insulation from the tissue coolest to several layers.
  2. Then you need to heat the room with a heat gun to a temperature of +60 0 S.
  3. Disassembly of the canvas should be started from the corner. A decorative plug is removed, after which it is necessary to grasp for the carpun profile with long sponge passages and pull it out.
  4. Next, it is necessary to postpone the passage and continue the removal of the canvas from the baguette is already manually. On the preheated PVC film, the touch can remain traces, so it follows to work in gloves.

Similarly, the canvas on the other sides are disconnected, while each time move from the angle to the middle of the wall.

It is impossible to take passatages for the canvas - only for the Carpun Profile: capturing the film, you risk tearing it.

Dismantling fabric ceiling

A stroke mount by which the tissue canvas is often fixed, actually, it is considered to be disposable: dismantling with subsequent installation is not provided. Indeed, to extract a stroke and at the same time not to damage it nor the canvas to retain the possibility of reuse - a rather difficult task. If such a need arose, it is better to turn to the experienced master. The process of filming the mount looks like this:

  1. In the middle of any of the sides, very carefully and carefully the spatula robbles into the slot between the stroke and the profile, after which the profile shelf is slightly rejected. Due to this, the effort will decrease with which the post is held.
  2. Strapboard remove with a hound end. It should be blunting, otherwise you can hurt the baguette or canvas.
  3. In the same way further remove the stroke, moving from the middle of the wall to the corner.

Much easier disassembled cam mount. To do this, it is enough to make a spatula into the cam and press them the rolling part. In this case, the canvas will slip out of self-activated capture.

Video: how to remove the stretch ceiling with your own hands

The stretch ceiling is very spectacular, from the point of view of design, the solution, but the process of its installation, as shown, has a number of features. The canvas is quite expensive, so that the lack of experience is better to contact the specialists. If you still decided to install the ceiling yourself, reread all the recommendations carefully and act as carefully.

Today, many are wondering how to make a stretch ceiling with their own hands. " The question is more than relevant, because Without attracting specialists, you can save on repair a solid amount of money. But not many know about how to install the tension ceiling. Our article is intended to correct this situation and help you figure out all the nuances of this process.

The technology of the tension ceiling device from PVC film is about the same. On the perimeter of the room at one level, the baguette is installed - the profile performing fasteners. Then unfold the cloth of the future ceiling and suspended at the corners of the room. Next, the suspended canvas warmes with the help of a heat gun. As a result, the film becomes elastic and stretched quite easily. The canvas stretch along the corners of the room, fixing every angle of the film in the baguette. After snaps into the profile the remaining perimeter of the room. Upon completion of the work, the film cools and tightly stretches, turning into a perfectly smooth and smooth ceiling coating.

Preparation for installation

Before installing the stretch ceiling, you need to spend several procedures with walls and with a base ceiling.

Walls must be smooth. In new buildings, this is the stage of finishing putty, or the walls are stitched with plasterboard. The ceiling itself is cleansting from the old finishing coating, everything that lifts, or can fall off eliminate. After the layer of the ground mixture, protecting the ceiling of mold and fungi. Docking and interpanel seams are well replaced. Ceiling butt with walls, throughout the perimeter, should also be sealed. If the gaps are not eliminated, in the future it can negatively affect the stretch ceiling. It can either "swell as a balloon", or squeeze to the native ceiling.

Ideal conditions for installing a tension ceiling - a room without furniture. If there is no such possibility, then it is necessary to make it easier to access the corners and to the perimeter of the room. Release household items and household appliances. Furniture and everything that remains to move to the center of the room, then cover the protective film.

Required tools and components for the installation of stretch ceiling

  • level (laser or water);
  • milling cord;
  • roulette;
  • metal Pilka;
  • screwdriver;
  • perforator;
  • thermal gun with a gas cylinder or a construction hairdryer;
  • shovel (spatula);
  • stationery knife with replaceable blades;
  • hammer and screwdriver;
  • ladder;
  • Ceiling material and fastening profile (baguette).

Additional components (depending on the works carried out may not be needed): Self-tapping screws and dowels (you can dowel-nails); second glue; heat-resistant rings for lamps; clips for hanging the canvas (crabs, crocodiles); Bit for a screwdriver; Drill for the perforator; direct suspensions; bugs (small screws for assembling mortgages); directly the mortgages themselves.

Marking of walls

When marking walls, it is necessary to take into account the irregularities of the base ceiling. In 95% of cases, the angles of the room will be at different levels. Based on this there are several marking options:

  • If you use a laser level on a tripod, then for you this process will be the most simple as possible. We set the level in the center of the room and alternately direct into each angle. We find the lowest, make a penalty from the ceiling in several centimeters. For the convenience of installing the recommended indent from 3-5 cm. It should be done more if you plan to install point luminaires. Along the laser line, blacksmith with a pencil mark in every corner.

  • In the absence of a level, you can use the usual roulette. Of course, a small error in 1-2 cm may occur, but on the general background of the installed stretch ceiling it will not be visible. We measure the height of every corner from the floor to the ceiling. Find the lowest. From the resulting value, we submit the planned indent (for example, 5 cm.). Next, we note on the wall the result. On the rest of the corners, we also celebrate from the floor the resulting height value.

Next will need the help of a "partner". We stretch the folding cord along the wall, we apply on the trained tags and "shoot". As a result, a flat line remains on the wall, denoting the level of your future ceiling. In the same way, we connect all the tags around the perimeter.

Installation of profile (baguette)

Before installing a profile on the walls, drill in it the screwdriver at a distance from 7-10 cm. In the future, it will facilitate installation and will be less risk to damage the walls and wallpapers.

Start standing with any of the corners. With the ribbed side of the baguette, we make it up to the middle, bend a stick.

We apply the ribbed side to the wall, along the bottom edge of the profile, on the markup line. Drum, smash a hammer dowel-nails.

The next profile stick is secured by the joint in the joint with the installed, the lower edge should be smooth. All joints are gluing with paper scotch.

Having reached the next angle, the question arises about how to do it? ". We measure the tape measure from the angle to the edge of the baguette, we subtract 1 cm. I remember. We take the next stick, on the reverse side (ribbed) we mark the resulting length. Saws through the line to the middle, bend, trying to angle on the wall, fasteners.

When mounting a profile on plasterboard, tighten the self-tapping screws at an angle. This will give extra hardness of fasteners and, during the web stretching, will not allow the baguette to delay the walls (to form slots).

Proper installation of the profile - the key to the successful installation of the stretch ceiling! From this stage depends on how, in the end result, your ceiling will look like.

After, if necessary, mount the mortgages and deposit wiring.

Installation of canvas

Consider on the example of a rectangular room.

The first thing is fastened in the profile of garters (clamps) in the corners of the room.

Gently unpack the canvas, kpripim the angles of the film in the clips.

If the film was in a cold room, pre-put it in heat and let it be done. During unpacking, you can warm the material from the heat gun, only very carefully (do not direct the nozzle of the gun for a long time on the same part, you can burn the film).

So, the film is suspended, refuel the first angle (any). After moving to the corner diagonally. We take the angle of the canvas in the hands, we clean the clamp. The partner launches the heat gun and begins to warm the cloth from the angle installed in the profile, diagonally to you. After some time, the ceiling will begin to stretch under your efforts. You can use the help of a partner: it can rise to the stepladder and help pull the film to the corner. You will be left to latch harpoon in baguette using specials. Shovel (spatula). We carry out the same actions with the remaining corners.

Next, proceed to the consolidation of direct sections along the walls. In order for the process to go evenly and did not form folds (wrinkles) on the canvas, we divide all the non-fixed sections in half and krepim to the baguette. In the absence of experience and skills in the installation of a stretch ceiling, divide in half the loose sections as often as possible. This will greatly facilitate the fixation of the canvas.


There are cases that folds (wrinkles) appear during installation. Eliminate them with a heat gun. Direct the nozzle and migrate a few seconds of the folds area. Wrinkles will disappear.

The ceiling is stretched, set the decorative insert, or the ceiling plinth. We glue heat-resistant plastic rings under the chandelier and lamps, if necessary, completing the installation process.

Installation of seamless fabric ceilings

Installation of fabric ceilings is slightly different from the installation of PVC films. Plus is the lack of need to warm the room. So such an important tool as a heat gun and a gas cylinder will not be needed.

If the ceiling from PVC, we begin to pull from the corners of the room, then fabric, on the contrary, from the middle of the walls. At the same time, at first a process is formed by some kind of cross. Stripping from which, stretch the fabric from the center to the corners.

While hanging around the edges, we cut off the knife.

To finally visualize the whole process, see this video:

Summing up I will say the following: "You can always try to start doing ourselves, the price will decrease at least 2-3 times. And if something does not get, it's never too late to invite specialists. Good luck and patience to you and your repair. "

Stretch ceilings are a variety of suspended systems that consist of a frame and a decorative surface. In this case, a special canvas presented in various shades and textures is tensioning on top of the durable profile frame.

Strong sides of the stretch ceiling

In the course of the installation of stretch ceilings, with their own hands, a lightweight durable film or tissue is fixed. For the manufacture of decorative cloths, high-quality material is used. As an assembly frame, the framing design stands, holding the cloth in the stretched state.

Decorative cloths are two types:

  1. Fabric of linen. It has a seamless canvas to 5 meters wide. For extensive premises, it is necessary to carry out a crosslinking of several parts or apply a special separation bar. A polyester coated with an elastic polyurethane is used as a raw material for the manufacture of fabric. The weight of the product is relatively small - no more than 180-250 g / m 2. The thickness of the fabric varies in the range of 0.35-0.44 mm.
  2. PVC film. Present in large color variety. The stretch surface of this type can be matte or reflective, consist of several levels and contain decorative lighting elements. The PVC thickness of the material is 320 mm, with a width of no more than 2.5 meters. In order to separate more extensive areas, the panels have to weld among themselves: the seam obtained is almost imperceptible. In order to further decorate the surface of the film is often covered with printed images. Also widely used backlight under the film. For the manufacture of PVC films, modern technologies are used, which allows the product for a long time to maintain initial freshness.

Stretch systems belong to environmentally friendly solutions, with good waterproof, dustiness, anti-allergity. Stretch canvas are not burning, easily cleaned, can be repainted and equipped with additional sound-absorbing elements. System mounting elements are available in various configurations - rectangular, oval, curved, three-dimensional.

For the manufacture of the mounting profile, rolling aluminum or PVC is used. The modern fixation system gives a guarantee of the smooth tension of the membrane, without any folds. 3D ceilings are equipped with special framework elements that are reported curved shape. Flexible installation of stretch ceilings with their own hands opens up ample opportunities for the implementation of creative ideas.

The principle of stretch ceilings is the ability to create a universal finish: it is allowed to be applied both in residential premises and in large commercial centers. For these systems, an excellent thermal insulation effect is characterized by the formation of an air insulating layer in the undercover space. This makes it possible to save money on heating and cooling the room.


Thanks to the use of modern technologies, how to correctly install the stretch ceiling, an improvement in the quality of air indoors is to prevent the accumulation of dust and harmful microorganisms from plaster or concrete overlap. It is for this reason that this type of finishing is very popular in medical institutions. Another positive effect of the use of stretch structures is to improve the acoustics of the room.

The correctly installed web is able to withstand significant loads - up to 100 kg / m 2. This ability allows you to scap in the film spilled from the neighbors. After eliminating the accident, the membrane completely restores its shape. Correctly mount stretch ceilings, as a rule, can be without special equipment.

Profiles for PVC Film

Choosing a frame for tensioning the PVC film, it is necessary to take into account its size and thickness.

For the construction of a frame structure, you can use the following profile varieties:

  1. Universal aluminum. With it, it creates rectangular perimeters or linear sections of complex two-dimensional configurations. An excellent option for those situations where the profile on the wall or ceiling is required in the installation. Thus, it is possible to obtain a frame with a height of about 2.6 cm, with any length of the profile.
  2. Wall aluminum. This element is drawn up with small segments of the perimeter, including rounded and complex components. We are talking about moldings, alkovy, rounded corners of the room. The frame has a curved shape of about 26 mm height. With it, it is possible to achieve a seamless connection of direct sections of a frame design.
  3. Ceiling aluminum. It is intended for the construction of direct perimeters. With this profile, you can reduce the dimensions of the undercaption. Most often it is used in cases where the use of a more durable and heavy universal profile for some reason is complicated. Ready ceiling frame has a height of no more than 20 mm. If this requires the specificity of the design, this type of profile can be mounted on the ceiling in the transverse direction.
  4. Dividing aluminum. It is used in cases where it is necessary to combine two or more tension membranes among themselves, or when the film needs additional fixation. It is about creating a coating on the ceilings from 200 m 2. In this way, linear ceiling fragments can be combined. The finished frame has a height of 18 mm, with an unlimited length. Using the separation profile, you can get a 3D effect and construct multi-level structures.

All the above-mentioned profile types are equipped with a harpoon fastening of membranes, which provides for the need for pre-welding of the ceiling film with a special retainer. If the installation of the stretch ceiling is carried out on its own, it is recommended to choose simpler profiles with a wedge or stroke mount. There is also an option to order welding with Garpoon from the manufacturer of PVC film. Determining with the size of the membrane, it is necessary to take the effect of stretching the material during installation (an increase in size can reach up to 6%). Only in this case, the finished surface will be smooth, without any savory.

Fabric Cloth Profile

Under the tissue ceiling is understood as a widescreen cloth, differing in mass and elasticity from the PVC film. This explains the fact that the framework structures of these ceilings differ.

In the process of installing stretch ceilings from the fabric, two types of profile are used:

  1. Plastic ar. With it, the linear regions of the perimeter are equipped. Supporting space is very thin (not more than 10 mm). The finished design ensures reliable fixation of the panel, well resisting the drafts and winds to the wind. The wide side of the profile is attached to the ceiling overlap. In some models there is an additional thin plastic part on the profile from the wall side, which allows to achieve the tightness of the internal space. As a result, dust, dirt and bacteria do not accumulate there.
  2. Plastic am.. It is intended for organizing additional space between the cloth and the ceiling. The finished frame has a height of 30 mm. Most often, this profile is used to create acoustic insulation.

The dimensions of the tissue canvase should be 10-15 cm exceeding the width of the ceiling. For their fixation, a flag-loop method is used with a special wedge or staple of plastic. Excess parts of the material upon completion of the installation are trimmed.

Preparatory Mounting Activities

Technology of the installation of stretch ceilings does not require special experience of construction work. The main thing - in the process of preparatory activities, complete the installation of electrical wiring prior to the start of installation. The points where the lamps are, it is convenient to mention the marker on the floor (directly at the lamp mounting place). The slab overlap is not particularly necessary. If possible, from its surface, it is necessary to remove all the hearty fragments of the old finish and discover fasteners.

Upon completion of the installation work, no additional finish will need. The lack of wet processes contributes to the high speed of installation work. In the process of training, the room is desirable to free from furniture and other interior items, because The principle of installation of stretch ceilings provides for the need to heat air to +40 degrees. Some materials such oscillations are not carried out very well.


The list of needed tools and devices:

  • Spatula or blade. With their help, they record the ceiling membrane on the profile for stretch ceilings. It is desirable to prepare a set of spatulas of different shapes.
  • Fastening profile. It should be enough for the entire perimeter of the room.
  • Clips for each angle of the room. Allow you to conduct an initial stretching of the film.
  • Perforator, screwdriver and self-tapping screws. Designed to fix the profile on the wall or ceiling.
  • Ladder. Its heights should be enough for normal access to the ceiling.
  • Level (water or laser). Before installing the profile, the markup will be required.
  • Air heater (if the PVC film is mounted). Professional installers use thermal gas guns operating on liquefied gas. If the installation of the ceiling is performed independently, it is allowed to use a household heater and a construction hairdryer to remove folds.
  • PVC mounting rings. With their help strengthen the panels around the pipes, lamps and other engineering communications.

The rules for the installation of stretch ceilings are recommended to use ventilation gratings. This makes it possible to provide ventilation of the patient space, preventing it from the appearance of condensate and fungus. It is best to install such a grille in the increasing corner.

How to prepare a profile and canvas

Getting Started with a stretch ceiling with your own hands, you need to prepare a profile:

  1. Make the layout of the location of the fastening profile on the walls. This will make it possible to correctly install the tension membrane. Most often, the profile is fixed on the wall throughout the perimeter by choosing the desired height for this. Applicated marking is checked using a level. Facilitates the layout procedure using the mounting ceiling profile. At the same time, it is necessary to keep the presence of ceiling lights: the surface of the ceiling must be along the fasteners line.
  2. Embossed all the external and internal angles of the room (the distance between the individual fasteners is 8-12 cm). A file is used to eliminate sharp corners: this is done to avoid punctures and cuts of the canvas.
  3. Removing the ceiling membrane from the package, it is advisable not to touch it with dirty surfaces - the web during the tension process should remain clean.
  4. Secure the cloth at several profiles, using special clamps. If the room has a rectangular shape, first of all you need to fix the film at the corners. The rounded areas of the profile are drawn up by the uniform distribution of the locks on the arc.
  5. Technology, how to install tension ceilings from PVC film, provides for the heating of temperature in the room to + 40-45 degrees. Before turning on the heater, sources overlap through which cool streams are entered into the room - windows, doors, ventilation grids. The membrane in a preheated state acquires a special tenderness: under the influence of drafts and cooled air, its surface can be coated with mechanical damage. The defects that have arisen worsen the operational characteristics of the canvas, making additional difficulties in its installation.
  6. According to the rules of installation of the stretch ceiling, the film must come to flexible, without a chance, condition. When deeply folds are detected on the surface, they are treated with a heat fluff or hairdryer.
  7. The installation order of the tension ceiling from the tissue does not require an increase in temperature at the place of work: the procedure in this case is carried out under normal conditions. Cutting fabric is carried out at the end of the installation. PVC film must be initially cut into the size of the room, taking into account its stretching during the stretching process (6%).

Sequence of installation work

With a clear observance of step-by-step instructions for the installation of stretch ceilings, work can be carried out in 2-3 hours. In the course of work, the construction trash is practically not formed. The main task is reduced to the stretch and fixation of the canvas on a pre-equipped frame.


This uses the following tension ceiling installation sequence:

  • The beginning of the implementation of the tension ceiling installation scheme may be any angle. It is necessary to focus the membrane inside the mounting profile, operating with a spatula with a curved working surface. If you are using a harpoon fixation, when the web is immersed in the frame, the spatula is inserted into the harpoon. A wedge or stroke method of fastening involves the use of a spatula and a suitable plug.
  • Upon completion of the procedure in one corner, go to a diagonally opposite area. In the same way, two other angle are filled. In the course of the implementation of the operation, it is necessary to constantly monitor the balanced tension of the canvas to protect it from the distortion.
  • Next, the cloth is fixed in areas that are evenly remote from the corners. The procedure continues until it is time until all the tension canvas is inserted throughout the perimeter of the ceiling frame.
  • At each of the stages of the implementation of the tension ceiling installation scheme, careful control of the uniform tension of the canvas is required: it will give the opportunity to avoid the appearance of folds and wrinkles. PVC web is recommended from time to time to warm up at problem areas. To do this, use a heat gun or hairdryer.
  • Separations of pipes and other communications must be additionally strengthened. Typically, the mounting PVC panel is used for this. It is glued to the finished ceiling, cutting the cloth in this area.
  • The last point in the installation of the stretch ceiling is the installation of a decorative plinth or a special tape. These elements are well masked gaps between the membrane and the wall.
  • At the end of the installation, the air indoors must be cooled to normal values. As PVC is cooling, the film is stretched, taking the final appearance.
  • At the end of the work, the tension system needs to be washed. A soft rag or sponge is suitable for this. In warm water, it is allowed to dilute a little cleaner for glasses: it should not contain fat and acetone. From the use of soap it is better to refuse, because Divorces remain on the canvas.

Lamps

On all lamps, fans and other testing elements, separate suspensions are recorded directly on the slab plate.

Installing the lamp will require the presence of the following items:

  • Plastic ring.
  • Mounting glue (cyanoacrylate).
  • Acute knife.

In the stretched ceiling, a hole is done under the lighting appliances. For a series of lamps, it is more convenient to make projection markup in advance: they make it on the floor directly under the lamps. The mounting ring is flashed with glue and glued onto the canvas so that the centers of the ring and lamp coincide. After setting the ring and the films, a neat cutting of the membrane inside the ring is carried out. The height of the lamp must be set in such a way that it is on the split film. After that, you can screw the lamp. In order to avoid the deformation of PVC films from strong heating, it is recommended to use a lamp with a power up to 60 W.


The ceiling is not so visible as the other surfaces in the room, but its design is very important when repaired. A qualitative and beautiful ceiling will pay attention to itself, it can be turned into a work of art, because it is the only empty surface in the house. The stretch canvas will become an excellent solution for finishing your ceiling. How the stretch ceiling is attached and what types of stretch ceilings are, we will consider in this article.

Features of stretch ceilings

The stretch canvas is made from different materials, it is different in its texture. The main material for the canvas - PVC. This is the most common appearance and cheapest.

The appearance of the stretch ceiling differs from others. A smooth nice surface looks much more effectively than others. In addition, you can choose any color or drawing, make a multi-level construction. There are practically no restrictions here.

The stretch ceiling in the Khrushchev can become indispensable, as it will hide the old ceiling, give the room a modern look. All wiring can be hidden under the ceiling.

You can make a stretch ceiling with your own hands. It all depends on whether you can work with a heat flush or not. But install the canvas "Cold" method can be without special skills.

The life of the stretch ceiling is significantly higher than other types of finishes. Some ceilings live for more than a few decades. To PVC materials recently become suspicious. But in this case it is not worth worrying. The canvas safely, it can be installed in children's institutions.

Stretch canvas universal remedy for flooding. It can withstand up to 10 liters of water at 1kv.m. Those who have repeatedly encountered with non-painful neighbors choose such ceilings. That's just the water then pump up to those skilled colors.

The main disadvantage is the price. Stretch ceilings do not belong to budget types of finishes. And among the expensive, they are not in the last place.

The canvas does not differ in strength. It is afraid of sharp objects and shocks. They can only be used in warm rooms.

What stretch ceilings are better

There is no universal ceiling. It all depends on the type of room, its area, purpose. To understand which ceilings will fit you, you need to know, and what are the stretch ceilings.
Types of materials for stretch ceilings: PVC and woven canvas. Differences between them are principled. In case of texture, they also vary.

If you are going to install stretch ceilings in the kitchen, then the glossy canvas from PVC will fit perfectly. Fissure ceilings do not tolerate moisture, and the matte surface is difficult to clean. The same applies to the bath.

For the living room will suit any kind. But for the bedroom you should choose a woven fabric or matte. The fact is that the glossy surface reflects 90% of light. Such ceilings attract attention to themselves, they will not take to relax their eyes and head. Choose calm colors.

For a children's chief selection criterion - security. The composition of PVC canvase includes phenol, it is safe at normal temperature, but if the web is overheated, the phenol reacts and begins to stand out. If you are confused, then choose a woven fabric, it is absolutely safe and environmentally friendly. With its manufacture, only natural materials are used. But still it is easy to fake, when buying, pay attention to the smell. The fabric does not smell anything. Those, no sharp odors should be, but also a pleasant fragrance cannot be published. If one is available, then, most likely, the manufacturer thus tried to disguise other unpleasant odors.

It is necessary to repel in choosing a finish from the size of your room. The woven sheet is not distinguished by a special color spectrum, it is still designed for drawing a picture. Therefore, it is necessary to install it in spacious rooms. And glossy and satin ceilings on the contrary are suitable for small rooms. Their shine visually will expand the room. The matte canvas perfectly fit into the recreation area: it does not shine, not overloaded with drawings and details.

Required tools and materials

Based on the material you choose, you may need various tools.


Installing profile

The device of stretch ceilings allows you to hide the overlap completely, but this does not mean that the preliminary surface preparation is required. To start, delete all the extended old coating. It will hide on the canvas, which can lead to its deformation. Old blots and wallpapers can be removed using a warm soap solution and a spatula. But the paint will need to be removed by a special solvent. Sharpen all cracks and depressions. Treat surface ground. Subsequently, he will save your ceilings from the formation of mold and fungus. They are not afraid of the canvas itself, but it does not breathe, which means that moisture can be collected on the ceilings, which will lead to the formation of mold and fungus.

Before installing, you must apply marking. Measure all the corners of the floor roulette to the ceiling. The horizontal line is conducted from the lowest angle. Make a mark in it by retreating the distance required for the web. By remembering this distance, in the rest of the corners, measure the same length from the floor and make marks. You can connect them with a level, ruler or rope. If you have a laser level, simply put it smoothly and on the desired parameters of the lines for the location of the lasers.

Baguet is mounted on the placed lines from the corner. First, make holes in the profile, and then mark the place of their location on the wall, applying a profile to the wall. Send the holes and score a dowel in them. Then baguette with screws screw to the wall. Then attach the remaining parts of the baguette in the same way. Baguettes are joined in the corners. The stakes of the profile are then tightened with a painted scotch. It is important that the kennels converge should not be deviations even per millimeter. Check the operation of the level and do not deviate from the markup line.

Tension Ceiling Installation Technology

How do stretch ceilings in the room? Types of fastening of stretch ceilings differ in their technology.

Strapboard method

The easiest and cheapest way. The canvas is fixed using the stroke to the baguette. But this method does not imply a repeated installation of the web - it is deformed. Not suitable for creating multi-level structures.

Clip method

Used for woven canvas. Works like a clothespin. Just fixes the canvas. In this way, you can create multi-level structures, but the reuse of the canvase is not available.

Cartoon system

The most complicated way of fastening. Suitable only for PVC cloths. Requires the most careful measurements. The canvas is fixed in the corners using the clips and heats up the gun. Next is fastened with a spatula in the corners to the profile. And the spatula is fixed throughout the perimeter of the profile. The best method, but because of this it is more expensive.
