Modern manufacturers of suspended ceiling structures offer a wide range of textures that are popular with customers. The main ones are:

• Matte. The main difference from other models is the lack of distinct relief elements. The ceilings of this group are calm, look solid and respectable, perfectly accurately convey the color palette of the canvas or pattern on it. Glare and reflections from artificial lighting on such a surface are muted. Matte fabric is often used as a basis for building a multi-level structure.
• Satin the texture will make the ceiling expressive and attractive. Compared to the previous version, it has higher reflective properties. When light hits the canvas, it begins to shimmer, making the color of the hinged structure deeper.
• Glossy the texture is highly reflective. Thanks to this feature, a room with such a ceiling will visually look larger and lighter.The color scheme of the glossy texture is very diverse, so it will suit any interior. The glossy texture is especially popular when decorating nightclubs, swimming pools and other entertainment organizations.

• Translucent the texture, due to the 50% light transmittance, creates the effect of a window opening in the ceiling. And if you choose the right lighting fixtures, you can get an imitation of a real window. However, the use of a translucent texture also has a certain requirement: the room must be high, since in order to achieve the required effect, you will have to "remove" the height of the ceilings by about 40 cm.
• Metallic. This texture resembles a glossy one, but does not give a mirror shine. It is one of the most demanded from a wide range of tensioning structures. It got its name from the metallic sheen of the film. Metallic texture is most often used when decorating rooms in the style of minimalism and high-tech. The canvas can change the color saturation depending on the intensity of the light flux. A feature of metal canvases is that they include nacreous inclusions that imitate the shine of platinum, gold and silver. Also, the metallic texture is capable of absorbing and changing color in the design of the room. No other texture can repeat this effect.

• Suede the texture copies natural fabric, imitates all its features and characteristics. Pile textiles in the interior make the atmosphere in the room intimate, adding a touch of aristocracy. The suede suspended ceiling is as harmonious in the interior of simple residential premises as in public buildings with expensive finishing of offices of reputable firms, VIP salons and boutiques. Such a ceiling will perfectly complement a room with leather furniture, and the combination of dark and light colors will create the effect of a business setting, if necessary. The suede texture of the stretch canvases will add warmth and comfort to the bedroom.

• Marble. A texture that imitates a stone with a natural pattern of small veins will make the room solid and pretentious.
• Nacre will bring a touch of chic to the interior. Imitation of pearl shine on the ceiling is ideal for a young girl's room.
• Patterned stretch ceilings - a novelty in the range of ceiling structures. The surface of such canvases is decorated with a relief pattern imprinted into their structure. For the production of products of this kind, a special embossed vinyl film is used, which provides excellent decorative capabilities of the canvases. The patterned texture has all kinds of colored reliefs and ornaments, which makes it possible to use it to decorate any premises.

There are options on the market with large cells and a catchy pattern, which will undoubtedly be appreciated by lovers of everything extraordinary. For those who prefer a classic style in decor, there are ceilings with a pattern of small flowers or imitation of a fabric relief.

But, such a decor gives the room an unusual look, and the reviews of the owners of extraordinary ceilings indicate that their textured tensioning systems successfully decorate the premises, make them unique.

Thanks to the combination of matte and glossy textures, you can get the effect of a multi-level hinged system. If the central area of ​​the room is made glossy, and the perimeter is made in a matte finish, then the center of the ceiling will visually rise, and the impression of the first level will be created. In turn, the matte part will create a kind of second level.

When the light is on, one composition will be viewed, and in natural light, it will be completely different.

In a blowing of matte and silk textures, the first will become a "frame" for silk, on which you can make a photo print or any necessary image / drawing.
