What are the features of matte stretch ceilings
Not to say that the matte surface has a wide range of colors. No, it's not small, but you can't call it chic either. However, this does not become a disadvantage in the eyes of the consumer.
The specificity of such a ceiling is that with a seamless option, the width of the web can be 5 m.And the PVC film coating can offer only 2 m without a seam.
The light from such a surface is still successfully reflected, of course, not in the same volume as in the glossy variety, but it will be bright in the room in the absence of glare and reflection of furniture.
The matte fabric is waterproof, provided that it is based on a PVC film, and textiles may or may not have this quality. To determine this, it is necessary to clarify the properties of the material in each specific case.
Varieties of matte ceiling covering
The ceiling covering can be classified by material property and installation method.
By material of manufacture
There are two types of such coatings: textile fabric and PVC.
PVC is in high demand. The fact is that the canvas is easy to install and has an elegant smoothness. There are a lot of colors offered.
The textile version looks more interesting, often has a pleasant texture and aesthetic appearance. Such coverage is more expensive. It is also called seamless. These are durable products that can withstand low temperatures.
By installation method
To mount the PVC film, a panel is cut out according to the size of the room, and a harpoon is welded along its perimeter. Its task is to fix the canvas in the grooves of the profile. After that, baguettes are installed on the walls. With the help of a thermal gun, the panel heats up, begins to stretch and falls into the baguette.
Fabric ceilings are installed in an easier way. First, the canvas is cut to the size of the room, and then it is fixed to the profiles.
There are pros and cons
Well, let's take a closer look at the merits and demerits of a matte ceiling covering.
Pros:
Minuses:
Color solutions
Manufacturers are gradually expanding the color palette of matte finishes, making them more variable. In addition, it is possible to pre-order a specific shade.
If there is a need to visually slightly push the boundaries of the room, it is worth considering combinations that increase the space: white with black, purple, blue.
For comfort, they choose a warm color scheme, and emphasize sophistication with light gray tones.
What is the most interesting lighting
First, you need to understand that the features of PVC film are such that this coating will be quite delicate and, as a result, vulnerable. If the light bulb is not suitable or is installed at the wrong height, the canvas can be seriously damaged.
Textiles remain intact both at + 80 ° C and at subzero temperatures, therefore any type of lighting fixtures are suitable for such a coating.

Even the choice of a chandelier must go according to the requirements of the material.

The texture of the canvas is also important: if the gloss, reflecting light, makes the room brighter and brighter, then the matte surface cannot boast of such quality. The power of the lamps must be sufficient, otherwise the atmosphere will turn out to be somewhat "oppressive".
Spotlights should be considered first, but they shouldn't generate a lot of heat: LED bulbs benefit here.

The backlight can be decorative in any suitable color.

Living room
The living room should be distinguished from a number of other rooms, since guests of the house are usually brought here. This place should meet the taste of the owners and look presentable.
White is the most popular and classic color, since it does not compress the space at the visual level, does not distort perception and fits all styles.
Care should be taken when choosing colored coatings: inept matched shade can negate all interior decorating efforts. You need to be more careful with contrasting colors. Try to attach the selected shades to each other and imagine how it will look in your apartment.

Leading manufacturers
To make the ceiling look like it's a photo from a fashionable interior magazine, you should contact trusted manufacturers. The most famous, perhaps, is the company Clipso (Switzerland), followed by Cerutti (Italy) and Descor (Germany). Decent products are offered by Lackfolie (Germany) and Polyplast (Belgium).
We take into account all the nuances when choosing
Color is good, but when choosing, they first consider the quality of the product, its dimensions, think over the possibility of installing a multi-level structure, if necessary.
Anyone who wants comfort should immediately focus on textile fabrics: you can correctly plan the lighting, creating a pleasant atmosphere of warmth and relaxation.
Installation of a matte stretch ceiling: how the process goes
The installation process is multi-step. First of all, you need to make a markup, which will show the level of the structure. To do this, use the building level.
Guided by the markup, you need to fix the baguettes into which the canvas material is inserted. The cloth is attached to the grooves. To make the work go smoothly, use a spatula to tuck the material into place.
The material is fixed at first in several places, then, by carefully adjusting the tension, an ideal surface smoothness is created.
Finish remains: decorative skirting boards, if desired, painting.
How to care for a stretch ceiling
Our recommendations will help you admire a clean ceiling that retains its original beauty.
Let's make a reservation right away: cheap cleaning products are more likely to ruin the coating than clean it. The color can also suffer from this. Abrasives are simply unacceptable.
If you need to use a mop on a high ceiling, wrap it with a soft cloth. But this does not guarantee the absence of scratches.
Hot water damages ceilings; 35-40 ° C is enough for wet cleaning of the surface.
In the kitchen, washing is carried out more often, since fat is very difficult to remove when it is frozen. Dried water droplets may remain in the bathroom. Walk over them with a simple damp cloth.
Imagine how beautiful a matte stretch ceiling will look in your home! And those who have already installed this beauty in themselves, share a photo with us.
