What is a stretch ceiling?
A stretch ceiling is one of the possibilities of a suspended or suspended ceiling. A stretch ceiling is a plastic cloth that is tight and attached to the walls in the installed profiles.
A stretch ceiling is located under the existing ceiling. In this way, the old ceiling is completely preserved and no roof work is required.
A stretch ceiling offers many advantages, including a very interesting price. This type of blanket can be set up in one day so the working hours of the expert are limited. After one working day, you can enjoy 25 to 30 years of your new blanket.
Why choose a stretch ceiling?
Lightweight Structural Construction: If the current structural design is not very strong, a stretch ceiling is often chosen. It is attached to the walls and therefore does not add weight to the ceiling. In addition, a stretch ceiling serves as a camouflage for pipes or a damaged ceiling.
Cheap and fast: A stretch ceiling can be installed in one day, so that you only have to pay a few hours to work on the professional. It is a finished ceiling, so you do not have to pay extra for painting or plastering your ceiling. Here you will receive a tailor-made price.
No hoods or dust: Because a stretch ceiling is simply placed on profiles, you do not even have to move your furniture and no breaks are required. They are thus spared from much dust and dirt.
Lower energy costs: The decision to lower the ceiling often depends on the energy costs. The higher your ceiling, the more heat loss. If you choose a stretch ceiling, you can choose the height yourself, so less heat is lost and your energy bill is lower.
Creative: With a stretch ceiling you can let your creativity run free. You can choose the color or the print of the canvas and the lighting possibilities are limitless.
Better acoustics: A stretch ceiling offers the same or even better acoustics than a normal ceiling. You can also opt for an additional acoustic blanket to make even better use of it.
Fireproof: A stretch ceiling has excellent refractory properties: fire class M1 and B1.
Attention: The exact price of a stretch ceiling depends, among other things, on the type of stretch ceiling and extras such as recessed lighting. The area also plays an important role. The placement of the profiles and other preliminary work also make up a large part of the work. The price per m2 for stretch ceilings in small rooms is therefore higher. In general, we can say that the price per square meter decreases with increasing surface area.
Without in-depth expertise, it is not possible to install a stretch ceiling yourself. By consulting an experienced expert you will receive a correct placement and a guaranteed guarantee.
