Stretch ceilings in the bedroom: installation features

In the bedroom, a person spends almost a third of their lives, which are assigned to sleep. In the prone position, everyone's eyes first fall on the ceiling. In general, what is important is what we see immediately after awakening. This has some influence on the psyche and on the mood that we are charging for the coming day. Therefore, the ceiling in the bedroom should look nice to the eyes. Stretch coatings have such properties. They are different in color and texture. Next, let's talk about how to make a stretch ceiling and the features of its design.

Types and characteristics of ceilings

Lighting is also important in addition to the ceiling itself. Much depends on the financial state and personal tastes. For example, the backlight can be placed only at the corners of the room or in the middle of the ceiling a massive chandelier is attached. The stretch ceiling itself is often not monophonic, but multicolored. Each of the colors has a certain influence on the human psyche, perception of information, mood. For example, red shades are considered the most aggressive. This is because this color increases blood pressure. Some doctors believe that it is the red that helps to increase the tone, quick activation of the body in the morning and a lot of cheerfulness. But do not use this color in the bedroom in too large quantities. Because the effect can be directly opposite or too pronounced.

One of the most favorable colors for a person is blue. It is a symbol of the depths of the sky and the sea, a sign of appeasement and tranquility. But do not overdo it with the design of surfaces in blue-blue tones. Otherwise, the blue palette can have a strictly opposite effect, namely - it will act on the person depressing or bring into a state of depression.

There are several types of stretch coatings. Let's take a closer look at each of them:

• Glossy. These ceilings are made of PVC, because of what they have a smooth and smooth surface. Thanks to such properties, such a coating will reflect most of the objects and objects that are in the room. Thus visually its area will seem bigger. And the right choice of lighting in the bedroom will make the effect as pronounced as possible. Therefore, this kind of ceiling is most suitable for rooms of small size. Drawings stretch ceilings for the bedroom in either case can be very different.

• Matte. These ceilings have a slightly rough surface, so do not reflect so much the surrounding objects. They are suitable for use in various rooms, regardless of their area and color design. The matte surface perfectly absorbs color. Therefore, we can say that these ceilings are very different from glossy pendant coatings. Matt stretch ceilings in the bedroom are the most popular. For a bedroom, this kind of coatings, perhaps, is one of the most acceptable. After all, here it creates a feeling of comfort and tranquility. On such surfaces, seams are practically not visible, even if two-level structures are put.

• Satin. These coatings differ in that they blend well with almost any solutions in the interior. If you correctly arrange the lighting, then the suspended ceilings of this type will visually have the form of a material that looks similar to satin. Satin coatings on sale are represented by a large assortment and a choice of shades.

• Textured. Ceilings of this kind can make the overall view of the bedroom more interesting and give it personality. Their texture can be made "for silk", "granite", "natural stones", etc. An interesting solution is the stretch ceilings 3d photo for the bedroom. On sale, you can still find stretch photo-ceilings for the bedroom. Often, they use different variations and combinations of several imitations of materials, which often allow you to visually zonate the space of the room.

How to stretch ceilings

Tools for stretch ceiling

• In the process of installing a stretch ceiling, namely, for making holes in the profile you will need a manual punch. Dimensions of this tool are designed for each profile size. Its core is made of high-strength steel. The puncher has a lock that allows you to make holes in one direction and at an equal distance. They work very conveniently, if only because the holes can be made without using any additional devices. For this, it is sufficient to hold the profile in one hand and the tool in the other. The holes are almost 5-7 mm in diameter.
• In addition to a hole punch, when installing a ceiling, a perforator is required, which can operate in three modes. This - drilling, chiselling and intensive drilling. The handle of this tool is usually equipped with a flexible rubber pad, which allows you to adjust the work process.
• To screw the screws, you need a screwdriver. In addition, a laser rangefinder will be useful for installation. With this tool it is very convenient to carry out the work, namely, to carry out various calculations and measurements, as well as to determine the dimensions of the room where the work is carried out. Such a device, as a rule, has a convenient display with illumination, which allows to make the necessary measurements even in case of a lack of lighting in the room itself.
• In addition, you need a laser level, with which it is convenient to make markings. He is able to independently determine the surface irregularities.
• A metal detector is also useful. Especially it is valuable for the detection in the walls of metal elements and structures. If he "finds" pieces of metal, he makes a certain sound. With the help of this device, you can determine the presence of metal fasteners in the walls, cable, parts of the fittings, etc.
• One of the most useful tools for installing two-level stretch ceilings of the bedroom is the blade. It can be of several configurations. So, there are long, short and special mounting blades. When installing a clip for the harpoon is useful.
• When carrying out work on stretching ceilings, it will be necessary to maintain the necessary temperature in the room. To heat the room most often used heat generators or heat guns.

The main stages of the

Next, consider some recommendations how to fix the suspended ceiling:

1. According to the rules, stretch ceilings are installed before installing plastic windows. This is especially true for windows that were not manufactured according to current standards. The fact is that at a high temperature, which is necessary for fixing tension structures, it is windows that can be damaged in the first place.
2. It is also extremely undesirable that stretch ceilings should be installed before or immediately after the wallpaper is pasted. The fact is that because of the high temperature, the canvas can dry up too quickly, because of what they simply fall off.
3. If the walls need to be covered with paint, then the final layer of paint and varnish mixtures should be applied only after the installation of the tension coating has been completed.
4. In new homes it is recommended to pay attention to the density and tightness of the main ceilings. The presence of air flow through the slots during installation is unacceptable.

If it is not possible to release the bedroom from the furniture in order to provide easy access to the walls, then it should be moved to the center. It should be noted that from the surface of the objects located in the room, the distance to the ceiling should be more than 70 cm. If you do not have to take out all the items for the time of installation works, then you need to take all necessary measures for its preservation.

Step-by-step installation procedure:

1. You should start with fixing the profile. First of all, it is necessary to determine the lowest mark on the surface and from it to retreat the necessary distance. After that, using the building level, a horizontal line is drawn through the entire room.
2. The fixing is first made on the glue, and then at a distance of 60-80 mm from each other screws are screwed.
3. Then each ceiling liner is heated to 60 degrees to give elasticity. Warm up comfortably with a construction hair dryer. After heating, the cloth is fixed in the desired area. It is best to start from one of the corners of the room. In addition, the layers of material are fixed in the profile at a distance of 70 mm. The remains must be carefully cut off.

Next, consider some features of the selection and installation of lighting. So, the tension surfaces are, perhaps, one of the best options for placing lighting, in particular, lighting. In addition, such a ceiling is suitable for some other parameters. But when installing luminaires, you need to take into account some features of the tension coatings, or rather, certain nuances of its installation. Without this, it's very difficult to get a good result.

Important requirements:

1. So, the power of the lamps that will be attached to the tension ceiling, should not be more than 35 watts. Otherwise, you risk damaging the ceiling liner. Do not forget that the material from which it is made does not withstand too high temperatures.
2. It should also be noted that there should not be a distance of less than 200 mm between the lamp and the tensioned material. This paragraph refers to the reason, which was voiced a little earlier.
3. It is also important that from the edge of the chandelier ceiling to the cover there is a distance of approximately 150 mm. Otherwise, the film will become too hot.
4. If point light fixtures are attached to the ceiling, it is important to correctly calculate their number. In order to calculate this, you can use all the dimensions of the future ceiling. So, its area should be divided into two, i.e.it turns out, no more than one device for every two square meters of surface.
5. Even consider that when choosing a model of the luminaire, you should determine the distance between the main overlap and the tensioned ceiling. It is important that part of the base overlap, located behind the ceiling, easily fit there with a small margin.
6. It is also important that the appearance of the selected lighting fixtures fit the rest of the design of the room.

There are certain requirements for the arrangement of lighting devices. Basically, they are for each case their own and are associated with the configuration or design of the room. But there are rules that are suitable for any occasion. They should be followed to achieve a good result.

Recommendations for the placement of lighting:

1. So, when using spots, it is necessary to arrange them so that everything is illuminated evenly, i.e.so as not to leave areas too bright or vice versa, too dark.
2. It is recommended near the bed, namely, to place several lighting devices on the headboard. They will be useful for easy reading. Therefore, their power will need to be calculated based on the needs of the tenants of the premises. If you place LED lamps, you can save on electricity.
3. Another thing to know is that the bedroom design fits well in the built-in lighting. It can not only make the appearance of the room more stylish, but also illuminate it with an even and soft light.
4. It should also be noted that you can completely abandon the central chandelier. To do this, it is necessary to provide for the possibility of separate inclusion of several groups of lighting devices. Thanks to this, you can only cover those parts of the room that are needed. This is especially useful when there is no need for bright light.
5. Sofitels on the ceiling in the bedroom can be arranged as you like. Therefore, you can split the room into separate zones with their help. This will be useful if you need partial lighting.

The final cost of the stretch ceiling is made up of several factors. The calculation is usually done by people who perform installation work. And this can only be done after preliminary measurements. At the same time, the cost of the required material and the number of corners in the room must be taken into account. The cost is still affected by the presence of decorative tape and the number of light sources. The important factors affecting the final price include the height of the ceilings in the room, the complexity of the installation and the features of the surface design.

And finally, it should be said that stretch ceilings have such important qualities as reliability, aesthetics and durability. This is their undisputed advantage. Their use is fully justified in the bedrooms. They are safe for human health. Certain qualities of the tension surfaces allow them not to pass through the moisture. In addition, the ceiling of PVC does not absorb different smells. These are the main advantages that allow the use of these coatings for the decoration of most rooms.
