Benefits of stretch ceilings for the bathroom

If you clearly intend to equip a stretch ceiling, the bathroom will become the optimal place for the implementation of the planned project, since by choosing a stretch ceiling for the bathroom, you provide your bathroom with practicality and sanitary safety. And this is not the only reason to think about installing suspended ceilings in the bathroom. The positive properties of suspended ceilings for finishing the bathroom are obvious:

1. The basis of suspended ceilings is elastic film material made from environmentally friendly raw materials that do not pose a threat to humans;

2.Thanks to elasticity, they are able to stretch under the influence of excess fluid, which will protect your ceiling from emergencies associated with flooding by neighbors from above;

3. Installation of a stretch ceiling will not take much time, and the durability of operation can last up to 15 years;

4. Owners of suspended ceilings equipped in the bathroom can forever forget about fungal infections, the spread of mold and the formation of condensation;

5. You can also not think about problems, since the installation of ceilings can be combined with the installation of lighting fixtures.

The advantages of suspended ceilings can also include high aesthetic qualities and ease of maintenance, which is due to the antistatic properties of the ceiling. All of the above can be attributed to the main advantages of suspended ceiling systems.

Varieties of stretch ceilings

If you decide to organize the installation of the stretch ceiling in the bathroom, then it's time to think about what kind of stretch coating to prefer.

The modern construction industry offers a choice of three main types of tension coatings:

1. Cloths, the basis of which is fiberglass;

2. Cloths made of polyvinyl chloride film (PVC film);

3. Stretch ceilings based on fabric.

Fiberglass-based coatings are characterized by low demand in the construction market, due to the fact that the material did not have enough time to realize its positive qualities.

Fabric stretch ceilings in the bathroom have high aesthetic characteristics and a clear texture. Despite the fact that the performance of fabric cloths is quite high, it is not recommended to install them in the bathroom, since they interact poorly with the aquatic environment.

To date, the most popular are canvases made of PVC film, which also come in two types: matte and glossy.

Matte and glossy canvases. What to choose?

If you need to equip a glossy suspended ceiling in the bathroom, then you should know that their price is much higher than that for dull ceilings, but their high aesthetic characteristics are so diverse that consumers often choose them. In the bathroom, these qualities are especially appreciated, since the ability of glossy ceilings to reflect light and create a visual image of a mirrored ceiling makes the room deeper and more voluminous. And if the room has low ceilings, then glossy stretch linens will be the most optimal solution for you, so the space of the room will visually expand.

Matte paintings have their own significant advantages. The antistatic coating makes it easy to maintain, as the surface of the matte stretch ceilings in the bathroom is practically immune to contaminants of any origin. The ability to mask surface imperfections is also appreciated by their owners. The design solution of the apartment, in which matte stretch linens are installed, is characterized by restraint and practicality, since stretch ceilings will not focus on themselves, distracting the eye from the overall picture of the interior.

Do you intend to organize the installation of frosted suspended ceilings in the bathroom? Photo printing will be an ideal way of decoration, as the canvases decorated with your favorite photograph or a soothing image of nature will create an atmosphere of comfort and tranquility.

Design and color characteristics of stretch linens

Comparison of glossy and matte canvases can be carried out in accordance with various characteristics, one of which is design and color. The design of both of them is characterized by a wide range of decorative solutions, due to which both matte and glossy fabrics will ideally fit into any style decision. But when equipping a multi-level ceiling, experts recommend giving preference to glossy ceilings due to their most ceremonial appearance. For an interior in a classic style, it is advisable to choose a more restrained matte stretch fabric.

As for the color palette, for glossy canvases it is very diverse, and the matte finish in this regard is significantly inferior to its competitors. But if we talk about the operational stability of color, then we can safely say that the original color of dull ceilings will remain much longer, and the ability to absorb reflections is much higher.

The color characteristics of suspended ceilings take second place in importance after quality and performance properties. This is the second most important criterion to which the consumer is inclined to pay attention when choosing paintings for installation. And this is no accident, since the ceiling is one of the main elements of the interior. As a result, designers have developed several basic criteria, according to which it is necessary to make a choice of stretch webs.

Selection criteria for suspended ceilings

1. The standard criterion for the selection of paintings is considered to be the choice of tiles in the tone, but the disadvantage of this method is that in the future there is a color fusion of planes;

2. Because of this, another selection method was developed, the main criterion in which is the color of the frieze;

3. A good option is the selection in tone of plumbing fixtures and furniture. The disadvantage is the small color variety of plumbing equipment;

4. A new method of choosing stretch linens, in which there is a hint of abstractionism matching the tone of the color scheme for the floor.

An innovative solution in the design of the bathroom can be considered the installation of a glossy stretch ceiling in a black bathroom. Stretch fabrics, the manufacture of which is associated with the use of black fabric, characterized by a stylish design that combines luxury and sophistication. The glossy black surface visually gives additional space to the room and, in combination with contrast, deepens the room and sets all the necessary color accents.
