Stretch ceilings with a pattern in interior design

To create a unique atmosphere in the room, you can use a wide variety of techniques, but one of the most beautiful will be the installation of a stretch ceiling with a pattern. Thanks to the ability to choose the texture, color and picture, the room will acquire a finished look, and the owners will admire such repairs for a long time.

The basis for patterned ceilings are all the same coatings as for conventional stretch ceilings: PVC and fabric - made of polyester impregnated with polyurethane. Both varieties are waterproof, but due to the peculiarities of the production and composition of PVC products, it is two or even three times cheaper. By the type of canvas, they are distinguished: glossy, matte, translucent and satin.

If we talk about a satin ceiling covering, then it is similar to PVC material, but at the same time it is similar to matte materials.

Its advantages lie in its porous structure, which means that the ceiling will breathe. It is these capabilities that make it possible to use satin surfaces in children's and bedrooms.

As the industry of such ceilings became very popular, special machines were invented that print a pattern on a suspended cover - large format roll printers and flatbed plotters. The choice of technology for applying photographic printing depends on what colors are used.

Most often used:

• Solvent - are suitable for printing drawings for open spaces, because after drawing the drawing has a very strong unpleasant odor.
• Equivalent - do not have such an unpleasant odor, but for their use it is important to have air circulation in the space.

• Ultraviolet ink - completely ecological product. There is no shine as such, because on the fabric they have a matte surface, even if the ceiling is glossy. The drying period of such paint is quite fast and does not take much time. This ink is used to create a transparent pattern on the fabric. Of the minuses, only the limited print width of 2.2 meters can be noted.
• Latex - applied on very large ceiling coverings. This type of paint is completely harmless to humans, so you can safely use it indoors. This option is more expensive, but worth it, because the picture is very beautiful, bright, with many small details. Here, too, there is no limitation on the size of the canvas on which the picture will be printed.

If you decide to choose a stretch ceiling for yourself, on which something will be depicted, then it is important to learn more about the species diversity of such coatings. Allocate polyvinyl chloride, satin and fabrics with elements of silk.

• Satin coatings have completely different properties than the previous version. They look very impressive, the main thing is to choose the right drawing or print for the room.

Now it is worth taking a closer look at the types of patterns for stretch ceilings, among them there are:

• Texture - very close to the same tone with the ceiling, or having minor discrepancies with the main color;
• One-dimensional photo printing - presented as an ornament or a large single drawing;
• 3D printing - helps to create depth, volume of a drawing or picture, which is reflected in the perception of the whole room.

When a canvas for a ceiling with a textured pattern is made, the desired effect is achieved by the relief shape of the areas of the canvas where the pattern itself is located. Most often it is a PVC coating, which looks very much like a fabric. In this case, the color is often chosen dim, and the texture is recommended satin or matte.

With the help of photo printing, it turns out to apply any selected image to the surface of the future ceiling. New models of printers or plotters provide the opportunity to use many options for vibrant and vivid colors.

Often in organizations that are engaged in the installation and sale of stretch ceilings, there are already a number of ready-made options. Themes are very diverse: sky, landscapes, water drops, flowers, geometric shapes and abstractions.
