For children's rooms the most suitable are stretch ceilings.

These wall elements not only look great, but also significantly change the entire room. With proper approach, the children's room will become a real corner for the creativity of the child. The younger generation will admire the bewitching bright surface of the stretch ceiling, from which the fantasy and thirst for creativity develops.

It should be borne in mind that the installation of a stretch ceiling in the children's room is characterized by some specific details. Accordingly, you need to apply more imagination, so that the result is simply excellent. In this article, we will try to analyze the process of installing tension ceilings, as well as all the details related to these repair works.

Features of the application of stretch ceilings in the children's room

The first thing that comes to mind in this matter is the installation of stretch ceilings with original drawings. And this is really so, and this must be taken care of first. Interesting and colorful images on the ceiling will positively influence the outlook of the child, despite the fact that there can be very few drawings, for example.

In our case, it is most important to use colorful images that would not only have some sense, but also surprised the child with bright colors, overflows, as well as patterns and other techniques of drawing.

Of course, often parents choose pictures that depict the favorite cartoon characters of the child. However, at the same time it is worthwhile to try and supplement the composition with other important elements that will allow the younger generation to start studying this world as soon as possible. It can be clouds, flowers, trees, leaves, whole landscapes, as well as numerous objects.

Most often, companies that produce stretch ceilings on request, there are already many ready-made options, based on which you can make the most suitable ceilings. Either already ready-made work can be used as a background image, which is supplemented by all other necessary images.

Well, the most important thing is the background color. Obviously, white stretch ceilings for a children's room - this is not the best option. In this case, the main color must also be approached responsibly. Most often in children's rooms, blue or blue backgrounds of tension material are used. However, in some cases it can be light pink, green, purple. We need to be as attentive to all bright colors as possible, as these options can be very irritating to the eyes and to the human psyche. Accordingly, it is best to choose in favor of eye-pleasing shades.

Use stretch ceilings in the children's room

Recently, stretch ceilings are increasingly installed in the children's rooms. In this case, we are talking about a number of advantages of the material:

• Complete security. Modern suspended ceilings are safe materials that do not ignite, and also do not emit any harmful substances. This is the most important thing that parents should worry about, which decided to install a stretch ceiling. Unfortunately, many modern materials that are in free sale have opposite properties, so it's easy enough to make a mistake. It is advisable to check with the manufacturer, where the purchase takes place, about the safety of the material. Often, companies have special certificates, as well as certificates that confirm certain features of the material. Obviously, one should not believe simple words.
• Appearance. As we said, only stretch ceilings have such attractive colors and options, and even in a huge assortment. Moreover, if necessary, you can use your ideas and sketches to realize the most successful design. Recently, these services are not very expensive, so everyone can afford to afford such a pleasure. Also it is worth bearing in mind that the images printed on the stretch fabric will definitely appeal to children. Homemade drawings, which are created on the whitened surface, often look not very attractive.
• Simplicity and high quality of installation. As you know, stretch ceilings are installed quickly enough, and with proper approach, we get a perfectly flat surface that will remain so for many years. If necessary, the canvas can be easily dismantled, and also replaced. In addition, any dirt that appears on the ceiling can be quickly removed using a normal rag. Elasticity of the material is also a strong side of the material, since in case of accidental hits of various objects on the ceiling, the web does not deform in any way and remains in excellent condition.
• Use of heat and sound insulation. The free space that is available between the main ceiling and the stretcher can be used with advantage. Often, the owners buy insulation and arrange the material on this surface. Accordingly, the room becomes much warmer in the winter. It is also possible to install soundproofing, however for excellent efficiency it is necessary to cover the surrounding walls with insulating material.

At the same time, we should not forget about the negative sides of stretch ceilings in the children's room. It is worth bearing in mind the fact that the canvas is really easy to damage, but it's only about using stabbing and cutting objects. An active child can easily damage the ceiling, so parents in this situation need to show maximum care to prevent this. At the same time, it must be borne in mind that any damage associated with the stretch ceiling can be easily eliminated.

In addition, you should pay attention to the fact that the tensioner is often made by specialists. It should be borne in mind that in the children's room is often installed multi-level ceilings, and even with additional point lighting. Accordingly, without the help of professionals it will be very difficult to at least something to change or correct.

Variants of stretch ceilings for a children's room

• Most often in children's rooms a ceiling is created called "starry sky".This stretch ceiling has a really attractive appearance, which simply fascinates. For children, such a surface will be a real miracle. The "starry sky" can be viewed for a very long time, and at some angle the surface will look original in its own way. With regard to directly such a ceiling, it consists of LEDs, which are evenly distributed over the entire surface. In the same situation, the stretch fabric should be black and dark blue so that the surface looks really like a starry sky. Specialists often conduct an installation of an LED system with different light filters that flicker in a certain mode. In such conditions, you can not look away from the ceiling.
• Specialists recommend using the most common color palettes, which would be simple, but they would look bright and attractive for children. In this case, it is enough to divide the ceiling into several sectors( using plasterboard), and to establish their own color for each of them. It is desirable to choose completely different colors, refusing shades. At the same time, care must be taken to ensure that the colors are not bright, as this can negatively affect the concentration of the child and his perception.
• If the ceiling is installed in the room where the child is having fun, and also doing homework and other serious things, you should choose neutral surfaces so that they do not distract the attention of the child. Obviously, a variety of colors and different LED systems will not have the best effect on the emotional state of the child, especially if he needs to concentrate on the learning process.
• Another great option is the surface of the stretch ceiling, which resembles the blue sky. It's a good idea for a room of children who only know this world. Together with the sky on the surface you need to arrange some other elements. The luminaire can perform the function of the sun, and next you can hang, for example, butterflies or birds. For such purposes in the stores you can find cardboard figures that are suspended on thin ropes. If everything is done with taste, then the appearance of such a room will not leave anyone indifferent.

The process of installing suspended ceilings in the nursery

Tools for mounting

Often, several tools are needed for the installation of a stretch ceiling, but under certain conditions the list can also be expanded:

• heat gun;
• Roulette;
• hammer;
• screwdriver;
• stool;
• stationery knife;
• flat and angled blades;
• padding cord;
• water level.

Step-by-step installation process

1. With the help of a hydro level, markings are made on the base ceiling. It should be noted where the baguettes will be fastened( these elements are necessary for securing the tension web).
2. Next, you need to unpack the canvas and heat it up. For these purposes, a heat gun is often used. The heating temperature is often indicated in the documentation.
3. With clip clips, the tensioning cloth is attached to the baguette. The first corner of the canvas should be filled in baguette with the help of a harpoon.
4. The cloth is heated diagonally, and the heating temperature should be about 70 degrees Celsius.
5. After that it is necessary to wind the harpoon into the groove of the ceiling profile, pointing to the opposite corner. This procedure is carried out from all diagonals and angles. After cooling, the film is ready for full operation.

Other details

It should be noted that this process is significantly more complicated if we have a multi-level ceiling. As already mentioned, in the children's room it makes sense to implement such a project. To do this, you will need to create a structure from the metal profile, cover everything with plasterboard. In this case, it is necessary to spend a lot of time to properly locate the fastening elements for mounting the tensioning cloth.

In addition, children's rooms often use spot lighting. To do this, you need to have the reinforcement rings. About lighting, of course, you need to think long before the installation of the canvas. The essence of the process is that we need to know approximately where the wires for lighting will be located, and to these places to conduct all necessary communications. Accordingly, to the main ceiling you need to attach the legs and legs of the lamp, lead the wires( so that they come out of the rack).Further, when the suspended ceiling is installed, it is necessary to find the places where the fixtures will be located. At these places we attach reinforcement rings. If you are sure that their location is correct, then the inner part of the ring can be cut with a construction or clerical knife. Further, the wires are simply removed and output in such a way that it can be easily attached to the light source. After that it remains only to fix the lamp in the rack.

It should also be borne in mind that if you have ordered a colorful pattern on the surface of a stretch ceiling, then it will be quite expensive. Accordingly, in such conditions, the installation process should be carried out by specialists. If you buy a canvas in a fairly successful company, then it must provide a full range of services, up to the installation of spotlights. This option is the most secure for hosts who are not confident in their abilities.
