Disadvantages and problems of suspended ceilings

Recently, the market of modern suspended ceilings has grown significantly, however, the products of not all manufacturers are of high quality. Therefore, before buying, you should deal with all possible problems. Stretch ceilings can be accompanied by two unpleasant moments: the first is the low quality of the finishing material, and the second is unprofessional installation.

Low-quality seam

Let us dwell on one of the troubles of stretch ceilings - this is the use of low-quality material. Modern PVC ceilings are made from fixed-size PVC film. If the width of the room is greater than the standard width of the blade, in this case the sheets undergo a special operation: they are welded together. As a result of not following the correct technical process, noticeable seams appear that slightly reduce the strength and aesthetic appearance of the stretch ceiling. The presence of low-quality seams in ceiling paintings is the biggest problem, however, there are stretch ceilings that are made in a seamless way. In this case, webs made by the woven method are used. The material is suitable for almost any ceiling.

Bad smell

A characteristic sign of a low-quality stretch ceiling is the presence of an unpleasant odor, which always causes complaints from the owners. Therefore, do not be too lazy to find out more about the company that provides services for the installation of suspended ceilings. There are construction organizations involved in the installation of suspended ceilings truly at a professional level, today customer reviews are available in any form, which is the best advertising and quality guarantee. Of course, the main disadvantage of a quality stretch ceiling will be its cost. But it is worth noting that with a gradual increase in competition, the price gradually decreases and becomes more affordable for most consumers.

Incorrect installation

There is another problem that is recommended to be paid special attention to - poor-quality measurement, which results in troubles with stretch ceilings. A measurement specialist needs to take absolutely exactly all parameters, namely linear, diagonal, since the ceiling fabric is made 10% smaller than the specified size, then the fabric is heated with a heat gun, stretched and fixed around the perimeter. Usually harpoon mounts are used to mount ceilings. In the process of installation, the harpoon is welded along the edges of the PVC sheet. Achieving high quality fastenings can only be achieved in the factory and accurate metering is a very responsible and difficult procedure. It is not recommended to use plastic fasteners.
