Stretch ceilings are used in almost any premises. To date, the characteristics of the stretch canvas are resistant to almost any influences. Accordingly, it allows the use of material and in the bathroom, where there is an increased humidity, and under conditions of low temperatures. We can safely predict that in a few years stretch ceilings will be actively installed in a large number of apartments. And all because the stretch ceiling is incredibly practical and universal.

However, not all people know that the stretch canvas looks great in any room, as it is most often installed in the living room. Recently there has been a trend that is based on the installation of stretch ceilings directly in the bathroom. This is an excellent solution that the presented space is very attractive.
In this material we will talk about installing stretch ceilings in the hallway. Again, many people believe that in the hallway it is unlikely to look good for the stretch ceiling. It is necessary to say in advance that the likelihood of creating not the most attractive design is really there, however, with a proper approach, everything must work out, and it is to the hallway guests will pay the most attention.
The main features of the use of the stretch ceiling in the hallway
First of all, it is worth understanding that the hallway is the "face" of the whole apartment. Of course, it is for her first of all visit guests of the housing. Accordingly, the stretch ceiling emphasizes attention, and ultimately this element is exactly the overall impression of space.
In addition, as we have already talked, create an unattractive design of the hallway on the basis of the stretch ceiling is not as easy as it may seem at first glance.
In such a situation, first of all, it is necessary to pay attention to the texture of the surface of the stretch ceiling:
- Glossy canvas. This, of course, is the most popular option, which differs not only by the mirror properties, but also visual expansion of space. This is exactly what is needed in the hallway, where it is often enough space. Especially good if the selected stretch ceiling is combined with the color of the walls. However, the subtleties that allow visually to expand the space, really a lot, and all of them need to be studied. We will talk about it further.
- Matte canvas. This option is most often used in those passerby, where there are high ceilings. With this scenario, the room will look really attractive and solid. You also need to know that the matte stretch ceilings are often used in classical design, where there are no too ambiguous experimental solutions. On the same ceiling, you can safely place the lamp, which will give the room comfort.
Types of web
Much depends on the type of tension material. It should be borne in mind that quite often new solutions related to the type of canvas appear on the market, so it is quite difficult for the original variations.
It is worth noting the tensal-based tension cloths. This is good surfaces that are ideally suited to the framework of classic interiors. Something such material resembles silk, and this is exactly the consumers. However, often such ceilings are used for large rooms, since only on the basis of this canvase can make a seamless surface with a tissue texture. It should not forget that the tissue ceilings are significantly more expensive, therefore, it may make sense to think good enough. As for the positive sides of the tissue tension material, it can be noted its excellent environmental friendliness. This is a positive news for those who refers to new materials. You can also noted the fact that the installation of tissue material is substantially simpler than the film.
Film canvases can be the most diverse. Almost every year more options for this material appear on the market, and they all look good in certain premises.
Color compositions
The choice of color of the canvas is very important. Hallway is exactly the room where you can use almost any colors. However, it is necessary to approach this issue reasonably. Most often neutral solutions are used that harmoniously look with the rest of the interior components. For example, for visual expansion of space you need to use bright and bright colors of the canvas.
Frequently quite often the apartment is a whole designer composition, so the colors must be approximately the same. With this scenario, everything is quite simple.
Dark tones can also emphasize the exquisite dwelling style, but it should be understood that the black canvas can visually reduce the already modest space, so such solutions should be treated with caution.
Well, at the very end, you should say a few words about photo printing. This solution allows you to carry almost any drawings on the ceiling. However, it is worth resorting to such design only if the overall design of the room corresponds to this. Most often, various abstract images are applied to the stretch cloths that attract attention.
Lighting the hallway
If it comes to choosing a tension ceiling for a hallway, it is necessary to pay special attention to both lighting. It often turns out that unsuccessfully furnished lighting makes the space uncomfortable. In order to avoid this, of course, you should contact the help of specialists who are perfect in such things. In fact, everything is quite simple here.
First of all, you need to keep in mind that too much lighting in the hallway is not the best solution. This is especially bad if this room has small dimensions. In large rooms you can safely hang a large chandelier, which will easily light all the space.
The main task that stands in front of us is the creation of fully lighting, which is enough for the entire hallway. For this, for example, you can take one large lamp, as well as several point light sources. At the same time, you need to position all these components with the mind. The most successful is the solution in which the large luminaire is located in the middle of the room, and point lamps are installed around the perimeter. If the ceiling is glossy, you need to ensure that there are no too many glare from light. This is a common problem that is very difficult to avoid. The design of the lamp should be such that the light is directed not to the canvas, but on the floor. It not only looks more beautiful, but much safer. Light bulb highlights heat that can easily damage the ceiling. In this regard, ordinary chandeliers are most secure, in which light sources are located at some distance from the ceiling. If the ceiling is low, then it should be monitored so that the light is not a problem.
Point lamps are used in all rooms where stretch ceilings are available. The thing is that they decorate the room, especially if there are original rims around the light source.
Arrangement of backlight
In order to emphasize the exquisite style of the room, of course, it will not hurt to install high-quality backlight. To date, the variety of such products is simply colossal. This is the most serious problem, as it often chooses something most suitable is very difficult.
And the highlighting of stretch ceilings exist as follows:
- hidden;
- decorative;
- colored.
It is also necessary to mention that the LED tape has been very often used very often. It is easy enough to install on the surface of the ceiling.
It must be said that often the backlight is used only in cases where the ceiling has several levels. Thus, it appears the opportunity to focus on one or another stretch ceiling sector. If the ceiling consists exclusively from the ceiling canvas, then the backlight is likely to be a little extra.
Hidden backlights simply hide under the elements of the canvas. It seems that the source of light is not at all. To install such elements, you will need the help of specialists, as it is quite subtle.
Colored backlights are appropriate in cases where we have a stretch ceiling with an original colors. It may just be a bright image, or one juicy color option. If the combination is really not bad, then the ceiling will attract the attention of guests.
Most often, the backlights are installed above the doors. This is a kind of highlighting the zone that allows you to find the desired object, even if the main light is turned off. But first of all it is still a decorative element that definitely causals attention.
It is also very important to make the backlight perfectly combined with the main lighting of the room. If the hallway is too narrow, it will ensure that it will be quite difficult, so you should choose something one. In some cases, the need for full illumination may not be, with such a situation, you need to get a high-power LED backlight so that you can at least navigate in space. Also, you should not forget that light and other rooms can get into the hallway, which greatly simplifies the situation. In addition, the lamp can be placed directly on the wall.
The process of installing the stretch ceiling in the hallway
By and large, the installation process of the stretch ceiling in the hallway is very similar to the similar process in the living room or kitchen. However, here everyone has the place to be some subtleties that we have the point of saying a few words.
First of all, it should be noted that often the halls are narrow rooms in which it is quite difficult to carry out the repair process. Of course, the stretch ceiling itself is not so easy to mount. In order to do not have any problems with this situation, you need to seek help from specialists. You also do not need to forget that it is necessary to heat it up to a certain temperature to install the cloth. In a narrow space with this there may be some problems.
Otherwise, the process consists of approximately from the following items:
- At the very beginning, the ceiling markup is carried out. To do this, you need to use a regular pencil, however, as a device that will indicate the loyal level, a laser device is activated. In extreme cases, it can be limited to the usual construction level. Together with this you need to measure the corners of the room.
- Now it's time to the perimeter of the room to mount a locking profile. Here the most important thing is to make an accurate installation, and there will be a recent markup in this. The fastening of the profile is based on a dowel.
- Next, we need a heat gun, which will increase the air temperature in the room. At this stage, it is necessary to make it so that in the hallway the temperature value has reached 40 degrees. It should be borne in mind that in this process it is very important to be careful, since with too high temperatures can be damaged.
- Now it is necessary to start the fastening of the tensioning canvas. To do this, use the usual spatula. At the same time, you can activate the heat gun and heat the air to 60 degrees. Thus, any traces of irregularities or bubbles disappear. However, in this case it is important not to overdo it, since too high temperatures are also negatively reflected as the ceiling coating.
- At the same time, it is possible to install lighting systems, but it is necessary to take care of the supply of the desired wires.
For several days it is impossible to allow any temperature drops in the hallway. Next, you can use the room in the same mode.
