Glossy ceilings which firms. We choose a stretch ceiling: we are looking for a balance of price and quality. Stretch ceilings: reviews about firms

Film manufacturers are popular in Russia for stretch ceilings from France, Italy, Germany and China. We have compiled a selection of proven companies that have certificates confirming environmental friendliness, safety and quality. Of course, the premium options remain the best. They have a large number of colors and textures, environmental friendliness, the ability to withstand floods and not absorb dust.

Films from popular manufacturers in Russia

Manufacturers from Europe do not have canvases wider than 3 meters, which means that the installation will only be with seams. Only the French ClipsO has released a unique line up to 5 meters wide for seamless mounting without a heat gun.

Below in the table are the most popular French suppliers of PVC film for stretch ceilings in Russia:

Manufacturer	ClipsO (France-Switzerland)	Barrisol	Extenzo
Price, rub per sq. meter	1200-1500	1500	2000
Web width, cm	Up to 510	200	130-200
Thickness, mm	0,15-0,18	0,17-0,18	0,15-0,2
Range	There are acoustic, translucent options, fabrics with an antiseptic	200 colors and 5 textures	120 color options, suede, leather and metallic textures
Withstands water	Up to 120 l/sq. meter
Flaw	Cost, use of heat guns (except ClipsO)
Advantage	Extra-wide blades; they can be reused after flooding; installation is done in a convenient dry way on clip-latches; installation does not require a plinth	Reusable, can create acoustic, light and perforated ceilings	Keep the height of the premises (clearance up to 3 cm from the ceiling) and very durable (breaking force 150 kg / sq. cm)

As you can see, the "French" can be reused after repair (removed and re-mounted), but the prices "bite". Often, Russian consumers choose French ceilings because of the suede texture.

Chinese manufacturers have wide canvases up to 5.5 meters, allowing you to mount ceilings without seams, the assortment has different textures (including acoustic options, printed films), as well as a budget price, up to 1000 rubles per square meter. meter (more often - 700-800 rubles).

Now most of the certified manufacturers from China supply good materials. The only supplier that does not rely on quality is Longway film for stretch ceilings. They have a low price, but a high percentage of defects.

Of the popular Chinese manufacturers, it is worth highlighting MSD - it was he who was highly appreciated in Europe and is the leader in sales in Russia.

Film MSD (China)

MSD is a conscientious Chinese manufacturer of premium stretch ceilings. Their products are certified according to European standards. Due to the fact that the quality is high and the price is reasonable, MSD ceilings have become the bestseller among film manufacturers in Russia.

The plant confirmed the quality by obtaining certificates for its production of films for stretch ceilings:

ROHS - confirms that the film contains no heavy metals, phosphorus, benzene;
EN71-3 - indicates that the products are safe for children;
REACH - confirms that the requirements of the European Union for the safety of human health are met.

By the way, certification for sale in Russia is not required by law, but the manufacturer passed it anyway, which is only a plus for his reputation.

Important! Many Russians want European quality, but fall for fakes: for 1000 rubles for running meter they are sold a Chinese ceiling film of unknown origin. Therefore, if you cannot find a reliable supplier, then it is better to give preference to MSD - it will be China, but tested and certified in Europe.

White MSD (MSD) film for stretch ceilings is closer to blue in shade. The raw material for the film is produced in Taiwan and China with environmentally friendly DOFT plasticizer and does not contain chalk. It is odorless, fireproof and can suppress noise (1 m² ≥ 2500). Durable: withstands soldering, does not tear at the seam.

Below in the table - specifications MSD films.

german film

German film for stretch ceilings is not the widest: most often up to 1.8 meters, sometimes - 2.7 m. Lackfolie has matte and satin lines up to 2 meters wide, and Pongs - up to 3.25 m.

Warning: in German film, the width of 3.25 meters is the maximum! Anything wider is fake. Therefore, German ceilings are mounted mainly with seams (without seams - rooms up to 8 square meters).

We selected three popular German manufacturers in Russia: their films are flame retardant, waterproof, environmentally friendly, and in about the same price category. The minimum lowering of the ceiling is 3 cm. Due to the water resistance, the ceilings "breathe" worse, so you need to ventilate the rooms. But it reliably protects the repair from flooding by neighbors.

Manufacturer country	Germany
Manufacturer country	Lackfolie (Czech Republic-Germany)	Renolit	Pongs ("parent" Lackfolie)
Price, rub/sq. meter	900-1200	900-1200	1000-1200
Web width, cm	130-180, matte and satin - 200	150-200	150-300
Thickness, mm	0,16-0,18	0,18-0,3	0,18
Range	5 textures and their combination, 150 colors	200 colors and 5 textures.	130 colors, textures - gloss and matte

Flaw	Almost always mounted with seams, installation requires heating with heat guns.
Advantage	Suitable even for pools and saunas, as they are not afraid of fungus and mold (with an antiseptic coating)	Do not crack from heat, so you can mount it in the kitchen.	The material is finely cellular, therefore smooth. There is an "alupigment" texture - it glows when the light is turned on.

Italian film

Italian stretch fabrics are famous for their aesthetics and often belong to the elite class. Despite the European standard, they are also available in wide versions. For example, Cerutti refers to seamless ceilings up to 5 meters wide - mounted using the "stretching of an artistic canvas".

If you want European quality and seamless installation, then Italian canvases will give you this opportunity. In Russia, in addition to Cherutti ST, the manufacturer Malpensa is also popular.

Manufacturer country	Italy
Manufacturer country	Cherutti ST	Malpensa S.R.L.
Price, rub/sq. meter	From 1500	500-1500
Web width, cm	200-500	220
Thickness, mm	0,18	0,13-0,22
Range	Cloths of pastel, muted colors. Color printing with the most complex patterns. There are acoustic options.	130 colors, texture - satin, glossy and matte.

Advantage	Does not sag thanks to special technology. Waterproof due to double impregnation with polyurethane and varnish - suitable for swimming pools. Suitable for use in children's and medical institutions.	Simple options are quite budgetary. Ideal ceilings for a classic interior.

If you want a quality, but more budget option, then you should look at MSD, Malpensa, Lackfolie or Renolit. For those who need to protect the ceiling from harsh operating conditions (high humidity, the constant threat of flooding) or want special interior solutions, you can order Cherutti or Extenzo.

Below - reviews on the film MSD, Cerutti and Barissol for stretch ceilings.

Stretch fabric is the most promising material for decorating the ceiling space in an apartment or office. It provides a perfectly flat surface, has high performance and durability. Installation of a stretch ceiling is possible in renovated premises, it is carried out within 2-3 hours, does not include wet processes and does not require a radical rearrangement of furniture. A variety of textures and colors, multi-level designs, printing and the use of special effects create unlimited possibilities for design solutions. Which canvas is better to choose? When buying, you should focus on the specifics of the premises, personal preferences and financial capabilities.

Canvas type

Which material is better: PVC, fabric or fiberglass?

For the manufacture of stretch ceilings is used:

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) film 0.15-0.35 mm thick. This is the most affordable and popular material for finishing apartments.
Polyester fabric, 0.25 mm thick, impregnated with polyurethane. Attracts with environmental friendliness and the possibility of seamless installation in large rooms.
Fiberglass. High strength waterproof fabric. Acts as a basis for painting. Occurs rarely.

The technical characteristics of the materials are similar, but there are some differences that determine their area of \u200b\u200buse.

Appearance. Film ceilings are glossy, satin or matte, the texture of fabric sheets is always matte.
Strength. Resistance to mechanical damage by sharp objects in fabric cloths is higher than that of film ones.
Frost resistance. PVC at negative temperatures ah becomes brittle and cracks. Fabric ceilings can withstand -35 C, which allows them to be used for finishing unheated rooms.
Water resistance. According to this parameter, the performance is better for film sheets. They are recommended to be installed in rooms with high humidity.
Environmental friendliness. All types of stretch ceilings are safe for health. At the same time, the presence of micropores in the fabric structure promotes air ventilation and ensures a healthy microclimate in the room. Such a canvas can be chosen for decorating a children's room.

Texture

Which texture is better to choose: matte or glossy?

All fabric stretch ceilings have a matte texture. The reflective characteristics of PVC sheets vary considerably: from 5 to 70%. Which material to choose depends on the specifics of the room and the personal preferences of its owner.

Matt stretch ceilings

In appearance, matte ceilings are similar to flawlessly executed plaster. Such discreet elegance is preferred by people of conservative views with refined taste. Matte ceilings suitable for spacious, well-lit rooms. They blend harmoniously with the interior classical style, columns, stucco, antiques. The most popular paintings white color and discreet pastel colors.

Glossy stretch ceilings

Glossy ceilings are appropriate when creating modern interiors. They are chosen by active, innovative people. The material allows you to visually increase the size of the room and is suitable for small spaces. Glossy canvases are characterized by a large selection of colors. The richer the shade, the better its reflective qualities are manifested, so even an unconventional black ceiling will not look gloomy and depressing.

Company manufacturer

Which manufacturer of stretch ceilings is better to choose

The quality and price of stretch ceilings are largely determined by the manufacturer. On the market you can find products of European, Russian and Chinese production. Which one is better?

European stretch ceilings

Cloths from Europe occupy the largest segment of the market. Manufacturers offer a wide range of glossy and matte ceilings of the highest quality, and French companies are trendsetters. The cost of European products is much higher than Russian and Chinese counterparts.

Well-known companies: Barrisol, Alkor Draka, Extenzo, Newmat, Clipso (France), Poliplast (Belgium), Renolit, Pongs, Descor, Lackfolie (Germany), Cerutti (Italy).

Russian stretch ceilings

In Russia, the production of stretch ceilings is still poorly developed. The industry leader is Saros Design, which founded production in Moscow in 1996. To date, the company has production facilities in a number of cities in Russia, Kyiv, Narva, and Stuttgart. The company offers canvases in a wide range of sizes and colors, carries out drawings, makes computer calculations using its own program.

Budget buyers can choose stretch ceilings manufactured by the Kazan plant artificial leather and Ivanovsky NIIPIK. Enterprises produce canvases up to 1.4 m wide in a limited range of colors.

Chinese stretch ceilings

The spectrum of Chinese goods is traditionally heterogeneous. Here you can find both materials that are not inferior in quality to European counterparts, as well as outright fakes. Industry leaders include companies: MSD, HALEAD, Gline. Stretch ceilings from these manufacturers compete with world leaders, and are much cheaper.

Color

How to choose the color of the stretch ceiling

A wide range of colors of stretch ceilings allows you to implement a variety of design ideas. The appearance of the material has a serious psychological impact on the household.

White is the traditional color for ceiling cladding. It visually increases the height of the room, does not put pressure on the psyche, is suitable for interiors made in various styles. White, as well as discreet pastel colors are appropriate in living rooms, corridors, bedrooms, kitchens and other rooms. If you wish, you can diversify the appearance on a light matte ceiling by applying elegant photo printing.

Bright orange, blue, purple, green canvases are well suited for children's rooms, fill them with an atmosphere of joy and energy. Saturated tones can be chosen for the kitchen and bathroom.

It is better to decorate the bedroom in calm, romantic colors: beige, blue, pink.

The business style of the office will emphasize the brown ceiling, but it should not be very dark and not cause a depressing mood.

Psychologists attribute many qualities to the red color. On the one hand, it is the color of love and energy, on the other hand, it gives aggression. In the interior of apartments, it is used in the form of small inserts.

Glossy dark purple, steel, black ceilings will give originality to rooms with a large height. Dark canvases are often used to create the "starry sky" effect.

In multi-level designs, textures and colors are often combined, creating a stylistic effect in contrast.

Room

How to choose a stretch ceiling for the kitchen, hall, bathroom and children's room

Each room in the apartment performs certain functions. The choice of stretch ceiling for the living room, nursery, kitchen and bathroom should be carried out taking into account their operational features.

Living room

The living room is the largest room in the apartment. All family members spend considerable time here, so the design of the hall is given increased attention. Any materials are suitable for decorating the ceiling, the main thing is that their color and texture harmoniously fit into the interior of the room. It is better to give preference to universal calm tones that does not cause discomfort to any of the household members.

Children's

For the design of the children's room, it is advisable to choose bright fabric canvases. The matte surface is more durable and will eliminate the risk of damage to the ceiling by active children during play. A big plus is the presence of micropores in the fabric structure, which provide natural air ventilation.

Kitchen

Cooking is accompanied by steam rising to the ceiling and stains of fat settling on it. Here the best choice there will be a glossy PVC canvas. It is highly water repellent and easy to clean.

Bathroom

The operation of the bathroom is associated with temperature changes and high humidity. For her better fit glossy film ceiling. The canvas easily tolerates difficult conditions and is able to withstand a significant amount of water when flooded from above. After the elimination of the accident, it can be installed in its original place. The glossy ceiling looks impressive in small rooms, visually increasing the space.

Fixtures

What lamps for stretch ceilings are better to buy?

Stretch ceilings are ideal for built-in lights. When choosing them, one should take into account the operational features of the material and temperature limitations: if the standard values are exceeded, the canvas will warp.

Incandescent lamps

The use of classic lamps with a tungsten filament in tension structures has the greatest limitations associated with their high heating:

power up to 40 W for film, 60 W for fabric ceilings;
ventilation gap between the canvas and the ceiling - at least 12 cm.

Incandescent lamps are attractive at a low price, but have a short service life: about 1000 hours.

Halogen lamps

When installing halogen lamps, the following regulations must be observed:

power up to 20 W for film, 35 W for fabric ceilings;
ventilation gap - 6 cm.

Compared to incandescent lamps, they emit a brighter light of the yellow spectrum and have a resource of 2-4 thousand hours. Halogen lamps are best used for directional illumination of work areas.

LED bulbs

LED bulbs practically do not heat up and have no restrictions for installation. This best option for stretch ceilings. LED lamps can be chosen both as the main light source and for creating visual effects on matte, satin or glossy canvases. Luminaires of this type are the most economical, and their service life is about 5 years.

Cornice

Which cornice to choose. Installation rules

When installing a stretch ceiling in the house, one should not forget about other details of the interior. Curtain rods are an invariable design element. They are made from various materials. Structurally, the cornices are divided into wall and ceiling. The latter look more presentable. The difficulty lies in the fact that a thin canvas is not designed for hanging heavy structures. However, there are 2 ways to solve this problem. The cornice can be fixed in an open or hidden way

Open mounting

Before installing the canvas on the floor, it is mounted wooden beam in one level with guide profiles. It is better to choose hardwood. Before installation, the beam must be treated with an antiseptic. After stretching the ceiling, the cornice is attached to the beam through the film. Holes for self-tapping screws should be burned so that the melted edges prevent further tearing of the web.

Concealed installation

At concealed installation the cornice is attached to the ceiling above the level of the stretch ceiling. A bar or corner is installed next to it, for mounting a guide baguette. The operation should be performed before measurements. The design with curtains falling out of the ceiling looks impressive, harmoniously combined with both matte and glossy canvases.

Ceiling "starry sky"

How to make a "home planetarium" from the ceiling

Suspended ceilings allow you to create a stunningly beautiful "starry sky" effect in the apartment. Despite high cost this method of decoration has many supporters among lovers of progressive exclusive interiors.

Installation

To set up a home planetarium you will need:

glossy or satin dark canvas;
optical fiber;
light generator (projector).

Optical fiber threads, which are assigned the function of "stars", have a diameter of 0.25 mm. Collecting them in bunches, you can create "luminaries" of different brightness. The threads can be brought out through the fabric pierced in the necessary metas and cut flush with it, but it is better to fix it from the back. In the second case, you should choose a thin translucent material. The light intensity will be less, but the overall picture will become more realistic.

The optical fiber is connected to the light generator. The equipment works autonomously and is not connected to the lighting system of the room. The most advanced projector models provide such effects as: fading and flashing of "stars", flickering and movement of "celestial bodies".

Additional effects

Additionally, the ceiling can be decorated with photo printing, luminous Starpins pins, perform LED backlight separate zones. Installed on the "stars" Swarovski crystals will create a unique light scattering.

The effect of "starry sky" is performed either on the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe ceiling, or on a separate section, combining it with light matte canvases.

"Soaring" ceilings

How to create the effect of "floating ceilings"

"Soaring" stretch ceilings will help to radically transform the appearance of the room and give it exclusivity. At the same time, the creation of the effect does not entail a significant complication and increase in the cost of work.

The design idea is to create a light barrier, due to which the visual separation of the ceiling from the walls occurs. He seems to be floating in the air. This effect is achieved through the use of a special profile, which has a groove for placing led strip. The rest of the installation is no different from installing a conventional stretch ceiling.

The effect is also used in multi-level designs with a combination of matte and glossy canvases in various colors. Here you can create a "hover" of the upper or lower layers, depending on the direction of the light flux. In this case, various profiles are used to provide the required angle of illumination. Baguettes made of flexible polymeric materials are used to create curved surfaces.

The LED strip works autonomously. It can be turned on and off independently of the lighting system, replaced without affecting the ceiling structure. When buying, it is better to choose low-power LEDs, unless the tape is planned to be used as the main light source in the room. Their light spectrum can be different. Fade and fade effects are also available.

Stretch ceilings in a country house

Useful tips for installing stretch ceilings in country house

In urban conditions, stretch ceilings are installed everywhere: in apartments, offices, hotels, baths, entertainment venues. But how appropriate are they in a country house? Indeed, operating conditions are different, which requires certain adjustments.

Installation restrictions

In a new house, a stretch ceiling can be installed only after its complete shrinkage.

Preliminary work

In order to avoid unpleasant consequences, it is recommended to perform a number of measures before installing ceilings:

check the condition of the roof, repair if necessary;
treat the wooden floor with an antiseptic;
carry out deratization and close up all the cracks, otherwise the space between the ceiling and the cladding will become convenient place for rodent breeding.

About the benefits of stretch ceilings in a private house

Thanks to stretch ceilings in a private house, you can:

veneer uneven overlap;
hide communications;
improve thermal insulation;
visually enlarge the space.

A large selection of matte and glossy canvases in various colors allows you to choose a canvas for any wall material.

Installing stretch ceilings today is the most common type of finish. This is due to the quality of the materials from which they are made, their wide choice, ease of installation and maintenance. When choosing ceilings, you need to pay attention to the manufacturer, since the quality of the ceiling, its appearance and service life will depend on this. Today, domestic and foreign manufacturers of stretch ceilings are represented on the construction market.

The average consumer is unlikely to be able to distinguish ceilings made by different manufacturers. To be able to determine the manufacturer by the quality of the material, the countries in which they are made, you need to know characteristics canvases.

Producer highlights:

domestic manufacturer. Produces canvases with a width of 1.4 meters. This is the only size available. This manufacturing technology makes it possible to create a canvas with a uniform density and colorful coating. The Russian manufacturer does not have the opportunity to use expensive large-format equipment, which can be used to produce larger and higher-quality canvases by adding special additives to them. According to the texture of the ceilings, they offer two types: matte and glossy. Colors have a sufficient color palette for making a choice. Glossy canvas reflects light less effectively, unlike foreign canvases.
Chinese manufacturer. Distinctive feature manufacturers from China is their bad reputation. However, it is important to remember that Chinese stretch ceiling companies represent qualified manufacturers who have proven themselves on the good side. When dealing with a Chinese product, it is important to be able to distinguish between serious companies with famous name, from small manufacturers whose product is good for nothing. If we talk about real manufacturers from China, they provide material made from certified film, the size of which can have any allowable width and texture. Quality assurance provides 12 years of reliable service. Prices are higher than Russian ones, but the result in the form of seamless stretch ceilings is worth it.
European manufacturer. France and Germany represent this category on the market. For example, a well-known German company - Pongs. The film from these manufacturers is characterized by high quality, ideal appearance, variety of textures and colors. If a domestic manufacturer has dozens of color shades, then European ones have hundreds. Stretch fabrics from foreign manufacturers have the highest cost.

Stretch ceiling manufacturers have their strengths and weak sides, this should be taken into account when choosing ceilings of different production.

It is important to remember that trying to save money can damage the entire renovation, as well as the budget. Choosing a low quality material, you can be sure of only one thing - its appearance will reflect the price category.

Everyone chooses for himself which manufacturer to choose. First of all, the choice is influenced by personal experience, taste preferences, expectations and pricing policy.

How to install stretch ceilings: reviews of companies

Choosing a manufacturer for stretch ceilings is not an easy task. After that, an equally easy choice lies ahead - a trading company that will mount the canvases. On the Internet, you can find a variety of reviews about companies that are engaged in installation.

When reading reviews, it is important to remember that every opinion is subjective. Ultimately, you need to take into account only personal opinion, trying to find out as much as possible about the company directly from its representatives.

When deciding which firm to choose, it is important to pay attention to your own expectations, to indicate this to the contractor before starting work.

Reviews about firms:

"Genwick". Negative feedback about incorrect behavior, poor quality of work, disrespect for customers.
ArtDesign. Quality work done on time.
"SD-Eurostyle". High quality work.
"Grandee". High quality service and installation.
Msd Decor. Good value for money.

When choosing a company, it is important to pay attention to the reviews of other consumers. Sometimes, under the guise of a company for the installation of stretch fabrics, scammers who hunt for money can hide. When placing an order, great attention should be paid to studying the documents of the company and its activities.

Manufacturers of stretch ceilings (photo)

There are many titles on the market. A wide range, a huge range of prices ... It's easy to get confused in this abundance. If you do not know which manufacturer is better to choose a stretch ceiling, then we advise you to study our review with detailed specifications products of each company.

Leading countries

Given the popularity of this type of coating, it is not surprising that they are trying to be produced almost everywhere. However, for some it turns out for more high level- most often our compatriots order stretch ceilings French, Italian, German production.

Wide selection and Chinese canvases, both from PVC film and fabric. This is easy to explain: low cost with quite good quality provided a high demand for these products.

At one time, it seemed that the "Chinese" would be pushed out of the domestic Russian firms. However, this did not happen.

Alas, the stretch ceilings of the Kazan artificial leather factory and NIIPIK (Ivanovo) cannot boast of such reliability as the Chinese ones that are close to them in price.

In addition, due to the fact that factories were not originally designed for the production of stretch fabric, it turns out to be an order of magnitude narrower than competitors - no more than 140 centimeters. This means that during installation it is necessary to mask more seams. Yes, and the color palette is not diverse - both factories produce only 80 shades, which is catastrophically small at the level of competitors.

Therefore, we had to abandon the idea of including them in our ranking - at the moment Russian stretch ceilings do not reach the title of the best. What companies are included in it? Let's get a look.

Budget segment leader - MSD (China)

The products of the holding MSD New Material Co, Ltd destroys all stereotypes about low-quality Chinese goods. It is one of the world leaders in sales of PVC stretch ceilings. At the same time, everything films are absolutely safe - with the A + environmental class, assigned after passing the ISO certification.

Interesting fact: Very often, the PVC films of this company can be found under ... European brands. For example, a company from Germany PONGS buys from MSD wide bands of 3.2 meters, then passing them off as their own. Of course, the price becomes much higher - you pay for “German quality” ...

By the way, it was this manufacturer that first began to produce canvases measuring 5.1 meters- the widest of the certified films. This makes it much easier installation work in large rooms and avoid ugly joints.

As for the quality, it is also on top - the film does not shed and does not fade over time (up to 15 years), does not deform and does not burn. Like all good stretch ceilings, it can withstand up to 100 liters of water per square meter.

Comparing it with popular famous brands, it is often noticed that the characteristics are almost identical, and in some places even higher. Single weight square meter PVC films are only 190 grams, and the thickness is about 0.18 mm.

The color palette is also amazing - more than 200 different shades of glossy, matte and satin textures. There is where to roam when decorating a room, right?

Do not be afraid of Chinese products if they have proven themselves and have been certified.

Look around - Appliances, smartphones, clothes, cosmetics... Most of the items around us are made in China, even if brands say otherwise. So maybe you don't have to pay?

Descor - fabric ceilings at an affordable price

After analyzing dozens of reviews on construction forums, we declare with confidence that in this area best manufacturer middle price range - German company Descor.

The width of their canvas is - from 3.20 to 5.20 meters. Thus, it is easy to install the cover even in the largest room. The number of joints will be minimal (and even on such ceilings they are almost invisible).

The quality is top notch too. ceilings are made without harmful impurities, do not burn and are not toxic(unless you plan to heat them for a long time).

Small downside: like most fabrics, wide colors they cannot boast - 30 shades, but unusually rich and deep. Separately, I would like to highlight 4 of them - the Alupigment series, where the main tone is diluted with a soft sheen, giving the material an elegant glow.

The weight of the finished canvas is one of the smallest in this segment - only 245 g/m2. This eliminates the need for massive profiles.

By the way, about using the latter: Descor easily takes any shape - arches or three-dimensional elements, if you install them on the frame. True, you will need additional components for the profile. With a thickness of only 0.5 millimeters, this is an almost unique property.

Interesting to know: The authenticity of the canvas is easy to check - the stripes must have a fringe, with the inscription "D-PREMIUM MADE IN GERMANY" along the entire length along the edge. If they are not, they offer you a fake.

Best in premium segment - Clipso

Fabric stretch ceilings from the French manufacturer Clipso have become the undisputed leader in the premium segment.

The price for them is rather big - from 900 rubles per square meter. What are the advantages of such coverage?

Like many fabric ceilings, Clipso offer a fairly large canvas - up to 5 meters. However, they differ in color - 40 tones, among which there are quite non-standard. For example, with a gold thread or multi-colored, which give the impression of a three-dimensional texture.

The ideal smoothness of the canvas opens up wide possibilities for decoration.- even the most complex print will fit perfectly.

The service life of the manufacturer is declared at 50 years - this is a little untrue, however 10-15 years without quality loss ceilings hold up.

At the level and technological characteristics: 220 grams of weight, 0.4-0.6 mm thickness.

Good acoustic qualities, strength, reliability and beauty - they are quite consistent with the cost.

Elite Premium - Barrisol

Want to create a truly unique design? pay attention to French brand Barrisol. Six types of texture, 90 different shades, high quality and a 12 year manufacturer's warranty.

In combination with environmental friendliness of A + degree, low weight (200 grams per sq. M.) and ease of use- an almost perfect canvas.
I would like to talk about the last point separately. Such coatings endure the effects of chemical detergents, do not condense and do not absorb odors. This means that they can be installed anywhere.

The coating thickness is less than 0.2 mm. Features of installation allow minimizing the loss of space.

Some may be deterred by the price - from 800 rubles per meter. On the other hand, unlike cheap analogues, Barisol can be reused. In addition, they are easily dismantled if necessary, then completely restoring their appearance.

Thus, the cost, which is quite high for PVC film, is justified - this is the only manufacturer whose products surpass fabric ceilings in many criteria.

As you can see, in any price segment there is always a worthy brand - the main thing is to carefully study the information, analyze the reputation of companies and reviews about them. By the way, be sure to read. in different cities of Russia.

We did not specifically address the issue - fabric or PVC, since this is already professional review. Here we have collected only detailed answers to all related questions that may arise when buying a canvas and accessories for its installation.
