Soaring suspended ceilings: construction. Baguette for soaring stretch ceilings.

Recently, a new ceiling coating has appeared on the construction market. It quickly gained popularity among consumers. The name of the cover is the floating suspended ceilings. What it is? We will go further.

General information

What are suspended ceilings? The design, as well as in suspended systems from gypsum cardboard, can be one-or multi-level. What is the difference? When looking up, it seems that the stretch ceiling does not touch the surface of the walls. That is, it seems to have no anchorages. Hence the name - soaring. Stretch ceilings of this type look very attractive. The system is complemented by various decorative materials. To create the effect of "suspension" a special baguette is used for soaring stretch ceilings.

Elements of the system

The complete set includes the basic and additional details. The first are present regardless of the type of ceiling construction. Composition of additional elements can vary. Among the main details included in the kit, it should be noted:

• Opaque cloth (PVC or fabric).
• "Soaring" profile for stretch ceilings.
• Electric communications and point light sources.
• Special translucent insert.
• Fasteners.

Additional Details:

• Profile for fixing electrical communications.
• Suspended elements (for a multi-level system).
• Baguette, decorative inserts and stuff.

Classification

The floating suspended ceilings are divided into species according to different signs. For example, they are classified according to the type of fabric or PVC used. Also allocate 1, 2 and multi-level systems. The third type of separation is carried out depending on the design decisions used.

Design Features

When decorating, designers use only ultra-modern materials. For the second or third level, special baguettes are used below the canvas. Panels are fixed to the profile base, hidden under the canvas. It is thanks to this design that the impression of "airiness" of the entire system is created. At the same time it seems that the first level canvas also hangs in the air. Enhances the effect of special lighting around the perimeter of the system.

Features of the installation

As a rule, installation of tension frame systems is carried out by the specialists of the company in which they were purchased. Special equipment is required for installation. In particular, a special gun is used to stretch the canvas. Installation wizards have the necessary experience and knowledge, so it's better to trust them. In this case, the savings will not be entirely appropriate. First of all, it should be said that there is a certain sequence of work. Installation of a floating stretch ceiling is carried out in several stages. However, depending on the equipment and decoration features, additional measures may be required. Next, the main stages of the installation will be discussed.

Surface preparation

Almost all the finishing work begins with this stage. It is known that the quality of the foundation will depend on the outcome of all work. Therefore, preparation should be carefully considered. In the course of its cleaning surface, shpatlevanie or treatment with a primer composition. At the same stage, engineering communications are laid.

Measurements

To facilitate the installation process, experts recommend drawing up a drawing of the future system. Measurements should be carried out very carefully and accurately. From this will depend on the general appearance, in the first place. Measure better by using a laser level. First, the length of the walls along the perimeter, then the distance from the ceiling.

Frame

In the third stage, the supporting profile of the web, as well as the hanging elements of the second and subsequent levels, is established. Although the latter do not have a large mass, it is worth taking care of their strength just in case. They must be sufficiently rigid and firmly fixed. After installing the carrier profile, the backlight is mounted.

Final stages

After installing the backlight stretches itself canvas. In the process of work, it is necessary to mark the fastening points of the following levels. The installation of luminaires, fixing of plugs, installation of suspension elements of the system completes the work.

Backlight Features

The original lighting turns ordinary hanging systems into floating ones. Stretch ceilings will look impressive only if the work is done correctly. It should be said that it is not enough just to lay the LED tape in the gap between the canvas and the wall. After all, in this case, you can just spoil everything - the supporting profile will be visible, and the entire effect will be lost. To avoid such errors, the LEDs are used in combination with a semi-transparent plug. It will hide the profile and effectively scatter light.

Additional decor

If the system provides pendant elements to create a second or third level, they will also create an airiness effect. This is made possible by their structural elements. Additionally, you can emphasize the effect by using different colors for a particular level.

Finally

It should be noted that, despite the fact that the floating suspended ceilings produce a tremendous impression, on the whole they do not represent something supernumerary. Of course, there are complex multi-level systems, the device of which requires certain skills and knowledge. Cloths for stretch ceilings are presented in a huge range. The consumer can choose any coating according to his preferences. However, in any case, we should not forget that the system should harmoniously fit into the interior. The cost of the floating ceiling is slightly higher than normal. This is due to the presence of a hidden profile and additional elements (stubs). However, overpayment is worth it. After all, installing such a system in the house, you can get an effect that will shock not only the owners themselves, but also the guests.
