Stretch ceilings - this is not a new word in interior design, but recently they have become increasingly popular. And all because these materials have many advantages over other types of repair of the upper floor. This and impeccable appearance, and the lack of need to tear off the old coating and level the ceiling. And if earlier the cost of such products was quite high, today there is a tendency to decrease it.
Low prices for suspended ceilings today - a reality, not a fantasy. After all, the market offers goods from different manufacturers: prestigious western firms and more affordable Chinese ones. You can also find different types of ceilings that differ in appearance, materials, method of attachment. For example, the metropolitan company "Ecos-style" offers customers fabric and film ceilings with a glossy, matte or textured surface. In addition, it is possible to order seamless stretch ceilings. We will pay them a little more attention.
Features of such a ceiling
Seamless stretch ceilings - the perfect solution for the most demanding customer. They do not have any irregularities, roughness, seams or other defects (if the installation was carried out correctly by an experienced specialist), so they can be easily confused with the plastered surface. But in order to make such a ceiling using plaster, it takes a lot of time, materials and a skilled craftsman, almost a virtuoso. And his services will be very expensive. But seamless stretch ceilings are another thing, not so troublesome.
Such a ceiling is a single panel made of either polyester fabric or PVC film (polyvinyl chloride). In the first case, it will be a perforated fabric treated with a special impregnation based on polyurethane and polystyrene. PVC film has long been familiar to the consumer as the most popular packaging material. Also, latex options also belong to this type of suspension systems.
Seamless fabric and its advantages
If the consumer wants to install seamless stretch ceilings made of polyester at home, then this will be a good choice. After all, its advantages include the following:

- Like any other fabric, polyester allows air to pass through without creating a greenhouse effect. The stretch ceiling breathes, does not create air insulation, and the room is well ventilated.
- Installation of this design is quite simple and does not require heating the room. This not only reduces the duration of the repair, but also does not form a specific smell.
- Such a ceiling is ideal for country houses in which people live only in the warm season, and heating is rarely turned on or not at all. Polyester can withstand up to 35 degrees below zero.
- The surface of a suspended ceiling made of fabric can be painted up to ten times! This is good news for those who like to experiment with the interior and often make rearrangements and repairs.
Disadvantages of Polyester Ceiling
Such a ceiling has very few drawbacks. The most important is the relatively high price. Delivering certain troubles is complicated maintenance of the structure, and it cannot be installed in rooms with high humidity (kitchen, bathroom, bathroom).
Seamless PVC stretch ceilings and their advantages
Although the seam on suspended ceilings is very thin and durable, many consumers wish to install a suspension structure without it. The advantages of a PVC ceiling include the following:

Varieties of ceilings
It does not matter what stretch ceilings the client chooses (seamless): matte, glossy, textured (satin). They are all good in their own way. For example, matte surfaces will help create a traditional, whitewashed ceiling. They are made in pastel shades, do not reflect glare and are in perfect harmony with the classic interior and luxurious decoration. Gloss will visually expand a small room, and it also has a rich color palette (over a hundred shades). Satin suspension systems have a special microstructure and microrelief, therefore they create an amazing play of light, and are also suitable for multi-level structures.
