Ceiling decoration is almost the main step in creating a stylish and harmonious interior. Traditionally, as a finishing material for these purposes, plastic or plaster is used. However, homeowners who want to keep up with the times, certainly know that there are also fabric stretch ceilings, which allow to achieve a perfectly flat surface and to emphasize any style solution of the interior. It is about such ceilings that today we will speak at the "House of Dreams".

How the fabric stretch ceilings
appeared It seems to us that stretch fabric ceilings appeared only recently, but as you know, everything new is a long forgotten old. It turns out that the idea of decorating dwellings with the help of textiles was known to mankind since the days of Ancient Egypt. In those days, a thick linen cloth was widely used as the finishing material, which was previously soaked in limestone solution. After complete drying, the canvas was glued to the ceiling, and then painted it with various patterns and patterns.

It is noteworthy that the fabric stretch ceilings, photos of which can now be admired in historical museums, were widely used in Europe of the Renaissance for decoration of town halls, cathedrals, palaces and churches. However, many hours of soaking up the canvas in the solution and its subsequent installation required considerable energy and physical costs, which resulted in the sooner the ceilings of this type gave way to more accessible and easy materials. And only in the 60's in the field of interior design again began to use ceilings on a fabric basis. However, in the modern version, textile ceilings are made not from ordinary canvas, but from a more suitable material - polyester fabric.
In the original version, the fabric for fabric ceilings was created by a complex combination of synthetic and natural threads, but as a result of numerous experiments, textile workers determined that if the canvas is impregnated with a polymer, an ideal basis for applying images of any complexity is obtained. In addition, the image applied to the polymer fabric, does not fade in the sun, does not wash off and does not fade with time. That's why this material is widely used to create street banners, banners, flags, etc.

Stretch fabric ceilings in a modern interior
In modern versions, fabric ceilings look like a thin fabric created by threading the yarn into a mesh with subsequent impregnation in a special solution. The fabric is covered in the size of the room, so that the fabric seamless stretch ceilings look perfectly even and smooth.
Fabric ceilings have a lot of advantages over any other finishing materials:
- firstly, the weight of the material is about 250 grams per 1 square meter, which allows them to be mounted in almost any conditions;
- secondly, the textile ceiling can be repainted several times, creating on its surface the most unusual patterns and patterns;
- third, this type of ceiling allows you to form a perfectly flat surface, masking any roughness and roughness.
In addition, an attractive decorative effect can be achieved with a light generator or LEDs that look great on fabric ceilings. Also, designers like the ceilings of this type because they make the room visually higher, because the fine fabric matter "does not eat up" the height of the room, unlike other materials.
Also, since this material does not release harmful chemicals, at the moment it is considered the most environmentally friendly and safe for humans. Still it is worth noting that ceilings on a fabric basis do not conduct an electric current and do not allow moisture, but they perfectly pass air, so that the room does not violate the air circulation.
Many people are afraid to use textile materials in the ceiling finish, because they consider them fire hazardous. However, during manufacture, fabric ceilings are treated with a special tool that makes them absolutely fireproof.

The only drawback of the ceiling of this plan is that after removal it can not be mounted again, such as plastic stretch ceilings.
In addition, the attractiveness of fabric stretch ceilings is further enhanced by a very light mounting technology.
How to assemble the fabric tension ceilings
The installation of fabric tension ceilings is carried out using a special fastening device - baguette. The baguette is installed along the perimeter of the ceiling, and then the canvas is carefully assembled into its elements, so that the edges of the fabric protrude outward about 10cm. After that, the installation of fabric ceilings is the ideal stretching and alignment of the fabric. Then the remaining edges of the fabric are cut off with a sharp knife, and the baguette is masked with decorative ceiling skirting.
Thus, anyone can choose to assemble stretch fabric ceilings with his own hands. Another important advantage of this finishing material is that during its installation there is no need to warm up the canvas.

How to take care of textile ceilings
Since this material practically does not slack and does not deform during operation, care of fabric tension ceilings is no different from caring for ceilings of other types. The only thing to consider is that such ceilings are vulnerable enough to mechanical impact, so you can clean them only with very soft napkins.
