To make their apartments and houses comfortable and comfortable, their owners, first of all, carry out repair work. Modern technologies in the field of decoration make it possible to implement any design idea. Perfectly decorated the interior allow stretch ceilings. These materials have undeniable advantages: moisture resistance, lightness and simplicity of installation, magnificent decorative properties. However, even such canvases made by the best manufacturers in the world may need to be repaired.
The stretch ceiling is a film made of fabric or polyvinyl chloride fixed on a metal frame. Since when installing the material between it and the very surface of the ceiling, a small gap remains, the canvas becomes vulnerable to external and internal exposure.
The main varieties of damage
Among the most common damage to suspended ceilings, the following can be distinguished:
Cut or puncture with a sharp object. Often occurs in the first few days after installation. The cause of the appearance of the defect may be random damage to the canvas during the installation of the lamp, rearrangement of the cabinet, etc. p. The hole obtained in these cases with a diameter of up to 1 mm is eliminated by processing the place with glue. A cut of material on a fabric basis, if it is not more than 10 cm, can be hidden if you fix the sides with a masking tape.
Melting. Although stretch structures do not burn, however, due to high temperatures, they can burst or melt. The most common reason is the improper installation of light sources. If the material is not badly damaged, then the damaged area around the lamp is covered with a ring made of heat -resistant plastic.
Water hit. The problem arises as a result of flooding. If the canvas is made on a fabric base, then after drying you will have to completely replace it, because spots will remain on its surface. A polyvinyl chloride film will not suffer from cold water, but hot liquid can lead to the appearance of ruptures on it. In any similar situation, you need to immediately drain the liquid and, after thoroughly drying the canvas, evaluate its damage.
Sagging. It may appear after the operation of suspended ceilings for more than 10 years, due to the constant high temperature in the room, due to the poor quality of the material or its improper installation. To solve the problem, you need to do the clipping of the canvas or its replacement.
Producers of suspended ceilings claim that their products can last at least 15 years, but as the experience of other countries shows, if it is careful about the coating, then its life will be more than two decades.
