Stretch ceilings in the bedroom: installation features

In the bedroom, a person spends almost a third of his life, which are taken to sleep. In the lying position, the gaze of each first of all falls on the ceiling. In general, it is considered important that we see immediately after awakening. This has some impact on the psyche and the mood that we are charged on the coming day. Therefore, the ceiling in the bedroom should look nice for the eyes. Tender coatings have such properties. They are different in color and texture. Next, we will talk about how to make a stretch ceiling and the features of its design.

Types and characteristics of ceilings

In addition to the ceiling itself, lighting is of no small importance. Much depends on the financial condition and their personal tastes. For example, the backlight can be placed only at the corners of the room or a massive chandelier is attached in the middle of the ceiling. The stretch ceiling itself is often not monophonic, but multi -colored. Each of the colors has a certain effect on the human psyche, the perception of information, mood. For example, red shades are considered the most aggressive. This is because this color increases blood pressure. Some doctors believe that it is red that helps to increase the tone, rapid activation of the body in the morning and a large charge of vigor. But do not use this color in the bedroom in too large quantities. Because the effect can become directly opposite or too pronounced.

One of the most favorable colors for humans is blue. This is a symbol of the depths of the sky and the sea, a sign of peace and tranquility. But to overdo it with the design of surfaces in blue-blue tones, too, should not be. Otherwise, the blue palette can have a strictly opposite effect, namely, it will act on an depressing person or put into a state of depression.

There are several types of stretch coatings. Consider a little more than each of them:

• Glossy. These ceilings are made of PVC, which is why they have an even and smooth surface. Thanks to such properties, most objects and objects that are in the room will be reflected from such coating. Thus, its area will seem more visually. And the correct selected lighting in the bedroom will make the effect as pronounced as possible. Therefore, this type of ceiling is most suitable for small rooms. Drawings of stretch ceilings for the bedroom in both cases can be very different.

• Matte. These ceilings have a slightly rough surface, so they do not reflect the surrounding objects so much. They are suitable for use in various rooms, regardless of their area and color design. The matte surface perfectly absorbs the color. Therefore, we can say that these ceilings are very different from glossy suspended coatings. Matte stretch ceilings in the bedroom are the most popular. For the bedroom, this type of coatings is perhaps one of the most acceptable. After all, here he creates a feeling of comfort and tranquility. On such surfaces, the seams are practically not visible, even if the design of the two -level type is placed.

• Satin. These coatings differ in that it combines well with almost any solutions in the interior. If you properly place the lighting, then suspended ceilings of this type will visually have the shape of a material that looks like satin. Satin coatings on sale are represented by a large assortment and choice of shades.

• Textured. The ceilings of this species are able to make the general view of the bedroom more interesting and give it individuality. Their texture can be made “under silk”, “granite”, “natural stones”, etc. An interesting solution is 3D stretch ceilings. On sale, you can also find stretch photos for the bedroom. Often, they use various variations and combinations of several imitations of materials at once, which will often allow visually zoning the space of the room.

Tools for stretch ceiling

• In the process of installing a stretch ceiling, namely, a hand -hole is needed to make holes in the profile. The dimensions of this tool are designed for each profile size. His core is made of high -strength steel. The hole punch has a lock, which allows you to make holes in one direction and at an equal distance. It is very convenient for them to work, if only because the holes can be made without the use of some additional devices. To do this, it is enough to hold the profile in one hand, and the tool itself in the other. The holes are obtained by a diameter of almost 5-7 mm.
• In addition to the hole punch, when installing the ceiling, you will need a punch that can work in three modes. This is drilling, d containing and intensive drilling. The handle of this tool is usually equipped with a flexible rubber lining, which allows you to regulate the process of work.
• To wrap the screws, you will need a screwdriver. In addition, a laser range finder will be useful for installation. It is very convenient to perform work with this tool, namely, to carry out various calculations and measurements, as well as determine the dimensions of the premises where the work is carried out. Such a device, as a rule, has a convenient backlight display, which allows you to make the necessary measurements even with a lack of lighting in the room itself.
• In addition, you will need a laser level, with which it is convenient to mark. He is able to independently determine the irregularities of the surface.
• The metal detector will be useful. It is especially valuable for detecting metal elements and structures in the walls. If he “finds” pieces of metal, he makes a certain sound. Using such a device, you can determine the presence of metal fasteners in the walls, cable, part of the reinforcement, etc.
• One of the most necessary tools when installing two -level stretch ceilings of the bedroom is a spatula. It is a few configurations. So, there are long, short and special mounting blades. When installing, a harpoon clip is useful.
• When carrying out the ceiling stretching work, the necessary temperature regime will be necessary in the room. To heat the room, heat generators or heat guns are most often used.

The main stages of work

Next, consider some recommendations on how to fix the stretch ceiling:

1. According to the rules, stretch ceilings are installed before the installation of plastic windows. This is especially true for windows that were made not according to current standards. The fact is that at a high temperature that is necessary for fixing stretch structures, it is the windows that can be damaged in the first place.
2. It is also extremely undesirable for stretch ceilings to be installed before or immediately after gluing wallpaper. The fact is that due to the high temperature, the canvas can dry too quickly, because of which they simply fall off.
3. If the walls need to be covered with paint, then the final layer of paints and varnishes should be applied only after the installation of the tension coating is completed.
4. In new houses, it is recommended to pay attention to the density and tightness of the main ceilings. The presence of air flow through the gaps during installation is unacceptable.

If there is no way to free the bedroom from furniture to ensure convenient access to the walls, then it should be moved to the center. It should be taken into account that from the surface of the objects located in the room to the ceiling the distance should be more than 70 cm. If all objects are made during the installation work, then you need to take all the necessary measures for its preservation.

The phased procedure for conducting installation works:

1. You should start by fastening the profile. First of all, you need to determine the lower mark on the surface and retreat the desired distance from it. After that, using the building level, a horizontal line is drawn through the entire room.
2. The fastening is first carried out on glue, and after that, at a distance of 60-80 mm, screws are screwed from each other.
3. Then each ceiling canvas to give elasticity heats up to 60 degrees. It is convenient to heat with a construction hair dryer. After heating, the canvas is fixed in the desired area. It is best to start with one of the corners of the room. In addition, the layers of the material are attached to the profile at a distance of 70 mm. The remains must be carefully cut off.

Next, we consider some features of the choice and installation of lighting devices. So, stretch surfaces are perhaps one of the best options for placing lighting, and in particular, lighting devices. In addition, such a ceiling is suitable for some other parameters. But when installing lamps, you need to take into account some features of stretch coatings, or rather, certain nuances of its installation. It is very difficult to get a good result without this.

Important requirements:

1. So, the power of the lamps that will be attached to the stretch ceiling should not be more than 35 watts. Otherwise, you risk damage the ceiling canvas. Do not forget that the material from which it is made does not withstand too high temperatures.
2. It should also be noted that there should not be a distance of less than 200 mm between the lamp and the stretched material. This item applies to the reason, which was voiced a little earlier.
3. It is also important that a distance of about 150 mm remains from the edge of the plafoner to the coating. Otherwise, the film will heat up too much.
4. If point lighting devices are attached to the ceiling, it is important to correctly calculate their number. In order to calculate this, you can use all the dimensions of the future ceiling. So, its area must be divided into two, i.e. It turns out that no more than one device for every two square meters of surface.
5. Also consider that when choosing a model of the lamp, you should determine the distance between the main overlap and a stretched ceiling. It is important that part of the base overlap located behind the ceiling is easily placed there with a small margin.
6. It is also important that the appearance of the selected lighting devices is suitable for the rest of the design style.

There are certain requirements for the location of lighting devices. Basically, for each case, they are related to the configuration or design of the room. But there are also rules that are suitable for any case. They should be followed to achieve a good result.

Recommendations for the placement of lighting devices:

1. So, when using spots, it is necessary to arrange them so that everything is lit evenly, i.e. So that there are no areas of too bright or vice versa, too dark.
2. It is recommended near the bed, namely, to place several lighting devices on the head of the head. They will be useful for convenient reading. Therefore, their power will need to be calculated on the basis of the needs of the residents of the premises. If you place LED lamps, you can save on electricity.
3. It is also worth knowing that built -in backlight fits into the design of the bedroom well. It can not only make the appearance of the room more stylish, but also illuminate it with even and soft light.
4. It should also be taken into account that you can completely abandon the central chandelier. To do this, it is necessary to provide for the possibility of separately turning on several groups of lighting devices. Thanks to this, only those areas of the room that are necessary can be covered. This is especially useful when there is no need in bright light.
5. Sofites on the ceiling in the bedroom can be located as you like. Therefore, with their help, you can divide the room into separate zones. This will still be useful if it is necessary to partial lighting of the room.

The final cost of a stretch ceiling consists of several factors. The calculation is usually engaged in people who carry out installation work. Moreover, this is possible only after preliminary measurements. In this case, the cost of the required material and the number of angles in the room should be taken into account. The cost still has a certain influence by the presence of a decorative tape and the number of light sources. Of important factors affecting the final price include the height of the ceilings in the room, the complexity of the installation and the design features of the surface.

And finally, it should be said that stretch ceilings have such important qualities as reliability, aesthetics and strength. This is their undeniable advantage. Their use is fully justified in sleeping rooms. They are safe for human health. Certain qualities of stretch surfaces allow them not to miss moisture. In addition, PVC ceiling does not absorb various smells. These are the main advantages that allow the use of these coatings for the decoration of most rooms.
