Before you make a capital or cosmetic repairs at home, you need to clearly determine in the materials used. The frequent problem is, for example, in choosing a ceiling, since many people do not understand the difference between attachments and stretch.
1. Stretch ceilings are mounted on baguettes. With the help of a heat gun, the canvas is heated and stretched over the entire area of the ceiling. When the material is cooled, as a result you get a beautiful texture canvas. The main material is the PVC film, although it can be used on a fabric basis (installation without heating). Among the obvious advantages of such finishes are: waterproof material, ease of care, installation speed and lack of mold. They are also able to hide the irregularity of the surface and not occupy a lot of space. Among the minuses: poor reliability.
2. Hinged ceilings (suspended). The basis in this case is the frame structure, on which the elements of the assembly will be hung in the future. Such a coating exists in two kinds: rack and continuous. The continuous coating is made of drywall (in this case, you need to control the moisture level), and the re -rack of the guide racks.
This type of finish requires long -term installation, they are much heavier and much more expensive than stretch materials. In addition, before installing it is necessary to level the surface, and a small number of colors and textures do not always allow experimenting.
Distinctive features.
— Stretch ceilings are easier to install, and hinged requires an experimental brigade and preparatory work;
— In the first case, the mount occurs on the baguettes, and in the second on the finished frame;
— It is proved that the stretch ceiling can withstand water accumulation up to 100 liters, which emphasizes its reliable protection against moisture, which can not be said about the attained;
— The materials used vary by features: PVC film or fabric materials are largely better than reliability, drywall;
— In the first case, you can implement any design idea thanks to backlight and photo printing, not to mention the use of all colors and shades;
— Suspended ceilings are more reliable, but more expensive, in addition, the installation of this design takes more time than using a heat gun;
However, despite all the pros and cons, everyone chooses the material and method of decoration for himself, because if desired and skill, it is possible if there are complex moments of installation and scarcity of color schemes, create an unsurpassed interior due to the suspended structure.
