PVC films and fabric fabrics used as stretch ceilings are characterized by sufficient strength and elasticity. And, nevertheless, even they are not protected from damage. Consider one type of defect - a cut stretch ceiling, and we'll figure out what in this situation you can do yourself, without involving specialists.
Point damage
Simply put, an ordinary puncture of the canvas. This is the simplest case, and repairs do not take much time. It will need much more to find the glue that is suitable for this material.
What should I do? It is advisable immediately to contact the company that was engaged in installing a stretch ceiling. Even if they do not have a special kit / kit, the professionals will give good advice on which composition to look for to seal a puncture in a particular PVC linen, depending on its variety. But this is true only in the case of point damage, when the diameter of the hole is minimal.
With fabric stretch ceilings is somewhat simpler - a small hole is easy to sew. The main thing is to choose a nylon thread of the appropriate color. All the pros and cons of fabric and PVC for stretch ceilings are discussed here.
cut "Malfunction" is more complicated. The repair procedure is largely determined by the location of the damaged area.
Near the wall
Typically, this technology is applicable if the distance does not exceed 150 mm, although it is necessary to take into account the thickness of the web, which affects its elasticity, and hence the ability to stretch.
You can do this - find( buy) a small section of coaxial( television) cable. In addition, again, you will need glue. The cable is cut so that its length slightly exceeds the dimensions of the cut. After that, the coaxial is glued to its edge( from the side "facing" into the room).After the composition has dried, the web is stretched, and a piece of cable is neatly tucked behind the carrier bar( baguette).
Recommendation. In some cases, inevitable appearance of folds on the stretch ceiling. They are eliminated in exactly the same way - with a piece of coaxial. The main difficulty - in the alignment of the canvas throughout the area. Therefore, it is better not to do such repairs alone. With the assistant it will turn out both easier, and more qualitatively.
At a distance from the wall
The only way to repair the cut in such cases is by applying a patch. Elasticity of the canvas has its limits, and if you can not reach the defective area before the baguette, then there is no other method for independent execution.
How to prepare a patch? Of the same material as the stretch ceiling. If after its installation there is nothing left in the stock, you can, as already noted, contact the company that was engaged in installation. They have some sort of waste. The patch is smeared with a thin layer of special / adhesive, pressed against the cut point and fixed in this position until the "grasp" of the tool.
If you can find an adhesive tape with the appropriate width of the tape, it will do. For the repair of fabric cloth is quite useful and a piece of fiberglass. The expediency of using something to eliminate a minor damage to the stretch ceiling is determined by the size of the cut.
All of the above is suitable for repair with relatively small cuts. For more significant damage, the tension ceiling needs to be changed.
