Advantage of the tension design for the bathroom
The stretch ceiling in the bathroom is not only original, but also practical, although it is difficult to assess the actual benefits with the naked eye. Isolate fabric seamless and vinyl options. The latter are mainly divided into:
- Matt;
- Glossy;
- satin.

To do this, experts advise to install glossy screeds, which due to the reflective properties visually increase the space. In addition, this is the most economical option of finishing. But do not forget that the walls and floor should be in one with a ceiling style for a harmonious interior.
As practical, the glossy material is quite inferior to the matte finish. In contrast, on the first there are traces of spray, which are carefully removed with a damp rag. And one more drawback: the scar line is more noticeable on the mirror surface, unlike matte or satin.
As for strength, the highest coefficient of this property is fabric ceilings. In the modern market, manufacturers offer even those that can not be punctured with champagne! But, nevertheless, all the tensioning devices protect against leakage from above. Even if you are flooded by neighbors, all water will remain under the tension film. And after it is removed with a pump.
Assembling tension ceilings in the bathroom
Manufacturing technology and installation of tension films is a very interesting process. For example, a roof made of vinyl film is made by welding PVC strips with a width of 1 to 6 meters on production machines. Installing the stretch ceiling in the bathroom, the matter is heated with gas guns up to 70 degrees, until the film becomes elastic, then it is stretched onto a pre-installed metal baguette.

To stretch the canvas or film in a small bathroom will take only a few hours. Unlike rack and pinion, installation of stretch ceilings is done at the final stages of repair after the completion of dusty works.
