For the first time stretch ceilings appeared in ancient times. Historians suggest that the ancient Egyptians invented them. In those days, stretch ceilings adorned the housing of the local nobility. Their prototype was fabrics that were pulled in the same plane with the base ceiling. Sometimes the material itself was impregnated with a special lime solution.
To date, the scope of the use of suspended ceilings is quite diverse. Since they have long established themselves both in residential premises and in restaurants, entertainment centers, sports and administrative institutions. The wide range of shades and colors of the film makes it possible to bring different design solutions to life, regardless of the shape of the ceiling. The ceiling can be multi -level, flat, concave or convex. The design of the stretch ceiling depends only on the imagination of a person, as well as on the decorative solution of the interior.

It should be noted that today the method of applying art-printing on a stretch ceiling film is becoming popular. A large -format printer applies any image on the canvas, ranging from different classical plots to flowers, animals, picturesque landscapes, etc. D.
What is a stretch ceiling?
It consists of:
– profile (metal or plastic);
– PVC film, which is attached to the profile using a special harpoon mounting system;
– plastic insert that closes all constructive cracks at the joints between the ceiling and walls. Stretch ceilings in Tyumen in comparison with other ceiling coatings (drywall, plastic, plaster, wallpaper) have many advantages. Firstly, they provide a favorable ratio of high quality and low price, aesthetics and practicality of the appearance of the ceiling.

Stretch ceilings are quite practical to the effects of chemical or abrasive agents, resistant to deformation, and also do not need painting, as they retain a pristine appearance for a long time. Stretch ceilings during installation are attached below the base ceiling by about 3 cm, while forming an even surface. They hide different defects on the surface and engineering communications. PVC – the film has excellent thermal insulation, dustproof, easily washes and does not absorb any smells.
Stretch ceilings can withstand a load of about 100 kilograms per 1 sq. m, thereby protecting the room from flooding. This is a fairly strong and reliable material.
