The quality of the film, the correct installation of the lamps and the circumference of the pipes, the sagging and installation of the eaves - we tell how to trace the work of the masters so that the warranty is preserved, and the quality of the stretch ceiling did not suffer.
As a rule, there is a comprehensive guarantee of 1 year to 5 years on a stretch ceiling from any material (PVC film films or polyester cloth). However, not always the assembly companies are in a hurry to correct the marriage, and in any case, the dispute and expertise take away the mass of time and nerves. Therefore, it should be selected as closely to choose a mounting company, carefully monitor the work itself and their result and not sign the act of acceptance, if defects are found, then they will be eliminated very quickly. We tell what to pay attention to.
1 Quality film
Firms offering stretch ceilings at low prices (from 450 rubles / m2), mainly use PVC-film Chinese production (Hailide, Longwei, MSD, YULI, etc.), which is not always stable in its main parameters (color, Thickness, elasticity and durability) and can distinguish the toxic pairs of phenol and toluene for quite a long time.
First of all, you need to make sure that the brought material has no pronounced chemical smell and color changes, such as yellowish edges. In this case, a light bluish shade of a white film is considered the norm.
It is very important that the pattern does not have significant deviations from the dimensional recommendations: its length and width must be about 7% less than the length and width of the room. Of course, by heating the film can be stretched very strongly (plus 20-30% to the initial size), but most likely its thickness will change locally and, as a result, reflective ability. If the pattern will be greater than necessary, it will not be able to mount without visible sagging.
Local heating makes it easy to stretch PVC-film within the technological tolerances, but if the pattern is made with errors, the defects will manifest themselves.
Many European firms produce a PVC film width not more than 2 m, so in the manufacture of the ceiling you have to weld the stripes. It does not hinder to make sure that the welding seam is durable and accurately made.
If there is no smooth walls in the apartment, the stretch ceilings should be mounted using a plastic baguette, which is easy to press to the surface having smooth curvatures.
2 Installation of lamps, traversal of heating pipes
Pay attention to the area of the chandelier, point lamps, ventilation decisions. Its most often occurring unevenness. If you notice them, require a defect immediately eliminated. In places of holes, the wizard must stick to the film of the thermocol. They are not needed so much for thermal insulation (modern LED devices are practically not heated), how much to enhance the material - no such rings can increase the hole over time. The cuts at the passage of the heating pipes should be completely closed with decorative plastic circuit.
Wires for connecting lamps must be attached to the slab overlap.
In the location of the lamps, the support areas of plastic or metal on flexible brackets are installed in advance. It is important to accurately comply with the level of the future ceiling.
3 savings
Permissible sagging and for PVC film, and for polyester canvas is 5 mm per 1 m room width. More sagging is unacceptable, since over time it increases and possibly the appearance of a noticeable lowering level to the room to the center of the room, as well as the waves on the ceiling when conducting. Make sure the installation rules will help the ordinary laser pointer will help - just send the beam parallel to the ceiling plane.
4 Installation of Karnizov
The standard visible baguette is sometimes required to close with a decorative cornice bar, gluitively needed to be very careful and only to the walls - so that the polyurethane glue does not hit the pattern material, not sufficiently resistant to the effects of organic solvents. And, of course, it is unacceptable that folds, traces from the fingers or scratching from the spatula, which fill the cloth in the baguette on the ceiling after installation.
And PVC films and polyester cloth are attached using a buggat profile. If the profile is fixed in an unreliable, stretched pattern will turn it off from the wall.
The standard step of plastic baguette fastenings is 80-150 mm, aluminum 200-500 mm, depending on the wall thickness and type (wall or ceiling).
When installing the decorative insert, it is important not to scratch and not to spend the film.
