Multi-level stretch ceilings in the interior

Multi-level ceiling coverings are becoming increasingly popular today. You can choose a two-level and three-level option. It is necessary to take into account the overall style of the interior room.

Multi-level stretch ceilings are designs that allow you to position the canvas at different heights. Such a ceiling covering can consist of curvilinear figures or have projections.

One of the main advantages of such ceilings is a huge variety of design solutions.Spectacular appearance makes these ceilings an excellent choice for any room. Such ceilings allow you to "play" with lighting: spotlights, LED strips, panels, soaring lines - this is only a small amount of what can be done on this ceiling.

Turning to the technical features, I would like to note that such ceilings perfectly hide bumps and surface differences. Canvases can also “hide” the systems of power supply, ventilation, fire alarm and fire fighting. Such fabrics are non-toxic and require minimal maintenance. It is necessary only to wipe them occasionally. If you compare these ceilings with drywall, they clearly benefit from them, as they are more durable, water resistant, and also much easier to install and use.

An important factor is the possibility of dividing a room into functional zones., thanks to the use of different colors of canvases. The design of these ceilings allows you to create complex combinations of pendant and built-in lamps, to set a certain light for the room. Also, with different types of lighting, for example, a dot or lamp, the interior will look different.

The technology of fastening of stretch ceilings lies in the fact that a frame is made of baguettes, into which the canvas itself is already set. Baguettes can be aluminum or plastic.

Among the profiles for mounting can be identified:

1. Universal, which is designed for installation of all kinds of systems.
2. Wall, in which the fastening is carried out completely to the wall.
3. Ceiling, which is used when mounting directly to the ceiling.

The cloth can be fixed in three ways: harpoon (the most expensive and high-quality version), wedge (in terms of quality 2nd after the harpoon), and also staple (the most unreliable of ways). The advantages of such a ceiling include a perfectly flat surface, good insulating properties. This ceiling does not let sounds, smells, as well as moisture. Moreover, such a ceiling is fireproof, which is an important advantage.

Ceilings can be single-tier, two-tier, three-tier, and so on. How much fantasy you or your designer. There is one main recommendation: it is desirable to design more than two tiers only for rooms with high ceilings, for example, a country house.Ceilings can be straight or consist of numerous curved lines, have smooth transitions or sharp protrusions.

Often use a combination of gypsum and stretch ceilings or stepped, multi-level coatings with complex geometric shapes.

If we consider two-level ceilings, then there are 3 options:

• tension fabric and frame made of plasterboard;
• plastic and drywall;
• only drywall or plastic only.

Multi-level ceiling coverings are an excellent choice for any kind of premises, be it a bedroom, a kitchen, a hall or a cafe, a club, any other commercial enterprise. Such ceilings are suitable everywhere, because they are very flexible in terms of design and will be able to please even the most fastidious client. The number of varieties of such ceilings is huge. Depending on the material used, the type of surface, the print, they can be glossy, matte, satin, metallic, velor, translucent, specular, with glitters and photo printing. As for the choice of color, the whole range of colors is at your service.

Multi-level ceiling coverings are the best choice in terms of design and quality. There are simple rectangular ceilings or rounded, which are most often used in apartments with low ceilings, so as not to load the room. Otherwise, a complex ceiling will “put pressure” on the interior of the room and disrupt all harmony. Ceilings in the form of waves or arches are also popular, they are used when the ceiling is quite high, and space allows you to create such a complex structure.

• Two-tier design - one of the simplest options, from the name it is clear that the ceiling consists of two frames.
• Arch - this version of the ceiling design is already more original; rather complex structures are used here, the essence of which is to create a smooth transition of the ceiling to the wall.
• Wave - quite an interesting version of the ceiling. When installing workers lay the cloth like folds, which creates the effect of sea wave. To enhance it, you need a properly selected color scheme, as well as, if desired, spot lighting.

• Cone - such ceilings are installed if it is necessary to decorate the column or any part of the room that stands out.
• There are round ceilingswhich will fit almost any style of interior, as well as oval, spiral and in the form of various shapes.

It's time to talk about styles. There are various directions: antique, classical, ethnic, colonial, modern, and also mixed. A multi-level ceiling is suitable for all these styles, since the options for decorating a ceiling covering a dream are just a lot: all sorts of curved lines, abrupt or smooth transitions, various fixtures inside the ceiling covering or as an addition to it. All colors are available to create the perfect multi-level ceiling.

As mentioned earlier, the existence of matte, glossy, mirror and other coatings greatly facilitates the work of the designer, and also helps the client to realize his seemingly unimaginable dream. Often, technologies lag behind design, but this is definitely not about suspended ceilings, because of them you can create any kind of relief. Most importantly, the material and color of the ceiling in harmony with the rest of the interior. After all, aesthetics is not the last criterion of comfort and a safe life in an apartment or house.

These ceiling coverings are best suited for modern areas: Art Deco, Country, Alpine style (chalet), minimalism, modernism, pop art, eco-style, hi-tech, postmodernism, loft. Properly selected coverage will play a significant role in the creation of style.

Such a ceiling would also work well for a mixed style - eclecticism (from the Greek word “chosen”). This style was born in those places where various nationalities and nations often met. Eclecticism is a style that is not subject to any laws, it can include two opposite directions that will perfectly complement each other, and the ceiling can serve as a “bridge” from the transition of one style to another.

And now let's talk a little about the finishing materials. In order to create a visual increase in the room, suitable glossy material. If you need the most smooth surface, then your choice is a satin coating with a fine-grained texture. In order to properly decorate a room, made in a classic style, you need to use matte ceilings, they will not distract the guest from the bright interior.

The most versatile fabric is the fabric, due to its special structure, it maintains a comfortable climate in the room. Also, to create ceilings, materials with a pearl surface imitating wood, metal, suede and marble are used.

Multi-level ceilings are used not only with a purely aesthetic purpose. With their help, you can achieve quite noticeable visual changes in the size of the room. For example, if you lower the ceiling in the hallway and install lighting in the kitchen, it will seem that the kitchen space is much lighter and more spacious than it actually is. This technique is often used by designers, builders and architects: to increase one space, they reduce the other.

Many people are interested in how to divide a room without cluttering it with unnecessary walls or partitions. Two- or three-level ceiling coverings solve this problem very easily with the help of smooth movements from one style to another, as well as the play of colors. Of course, this is not the direct purpose of a multi-level ceiling, it is created primarily as an ornament, it can be an incredible curved shape, or it can have a simple and modest design. On the even parts of the ceiling can be located drawing, ornament, or even photo printing, as long as it all fits together and looks harmonious.

By itself, the ceiling will not be able to fully divide the room into zonesIt is also necessary that the furniture, floor, walls contribute to this. Partitions, small screens, podiums and other structures can enhance the effect of zoning.

If you want to place a dining table in the hall, then this area can be distinguished using the oval ceiling figure above the table, as well as enhanced lighting of this area. It is recommended to use different color combinations for each of the zones that you want to highlight.For this it is best to choose at least three or four different shades. If the ceiling is low, this greatly reduces the possible design options, but even in this situation, with well-chosen color scheme, you can increase the space of the room.

The classic combination is the use of brown and beige ceiling. It can be used for many interior styles. Such a multi-level ceiling will go even for small spaces, but the walls should be light.

Multi-level ceiling can be supplemented with stylish lighting. It looks very beautiful and spectacular when light is reflected in a glossy floor covering.

The ceiling coating most often has neutral colors,furniture becomes a bright accent in the room.
