Design features

Cloths are mounted parallel to each other, in several layers (different textures and shades). A colored film is applied on top, and pastel shades are used on the bottom. Creating an ornament begins on the computer. If the consumer approves of the work, the picture is made out on film.

Perforation of the lower layers is carried out with a special tool., thanks to which the edges become smooth and attractive. The film is stretched evenly, and even after many years it does not sag and does not deform.

The design of carved elements can be absolutely any. Holes come in various sizes and shapes, they can be placed on the canvas anywhere. Demand are patterns consisting of circles of different sizes. Art cuts are used to create an ornament, mirror, symmetrical patterns, as well as to obtain randomly located figures.

As a rule, matte materials are used for the production of cutout cloths, and glossy products are used for the upper layers. Due to the mirror reflections and natural shadows on the material with gloss, the effect of great depth is created and 3D images look very interesting.

Carved canvases are installed using 3D profiles. Thanks to such a system, two canvases can be installed at once - with and without perforations.

How to create an ornament?

The upper part of the ceiling is a standard PVC film, which is known to all professionals and consumers. There is nothing unusual about it. The overall impression of the stretch ceiling directly depends on the pattern.

Initially, the pattern is created on the computer - in a graphic editor, where the designer selects the shape and parameters of the cutouts, selects a place for them on the canvas and creates the final sketch. After that, the figures are made on the canvas of the required size (using a laser plotter). When the pattern is cut, the edges melt a little, which ensures a high level of coating strength: the film will not tear even after years of operation.

The shape of the pattern, you can choose ready (from the catalog), and you can offer your own version. If the designer confirms the possibility of producing cloth with such figures, then within a few days the rooms of your apartment will be decorated with original carved ceilings.

Installation

After this, the marking of the sections where the fastening baguettes will be located is done. Ceiling heights are marked on one wall, then the height of the ceilings is fixed on other walls with a chopping cord and a special level. This markup is connected by lines, where the profile is set.

There are the following methods of fastening different canvases:

  • Using Apply technology, if the installation of LED-backlight will be performed. Baguettes are located 40 mm apart, the thickness of the cloths reaches 120 mm.
  • For constructions where the layers are installed flush with each other, Apply 0 is applied. The ceiling height is 30 mm.
  • If it is necessary to install the cloths at a distance of 8 mm from each other, the Apply 8 profile is required. The height is 30 mm.
  • For rooms with high ceilings or to install structures in several levels, traditional h-baguettes are used. So the canvas can be located at different distances, and there can be several layers.

The cloth is established in the grooves located inside. The canvas with cutouts is attached to the groove, which is located near the wall. During installation, the air in the room is heated by a heat gun, which makes the canvas elastic, as a result of which it stretches and installation is carried out as quickly and easily as possible.
