Stretch ceilings can produce a number of ceiling shapes, such as domes and arches.
Sometimes a false ceiling is in order for safety and fire regulations or the ease of being able to access ventilation shafts quickly. Traditional suspended ceilings are not always the most aesthetically pleasing, which is why some people turn to stretch ceilings. A stretch ceiling opens up quite a few design possibilities that cannot be done with a traditional false ceiling.
Printed Designs
Unlike other false-ceiling options, stretch ceilings can be printed on. The ability to print on the ceiling allows designers to create the look of a mural on the ceiling or to have stars or clouds overhead to transform the indoor space into a piece of the outside. Printed designs on stretch ceilings give an almost unlimited number of options to complement a room's decor.
Textures and Colors
Many people are not aware that stretch ceilings come in a variety of textures, which can help set a certain feel for a room or continue an already established theme. Stretch ceiling textures include metallic, lacquer, translucent and matte. As for colors, stretch ceilings can come in well over 150 color options, according to international interior design firm Plafon Decor.
Shapes
Unlike traditional false ceilings, stretch ceilings can be shaped in a variety of forms. Domes, arches, light diffusers and a variety of other shapes are possible. Because of the ability to conform to any shape, stretch ceiling panels can be used to form abstract shapes and other raised designs on ceilings. Several colors of stretch ceiling panels can be used together in a number of designs.
