Advantages and disadvantages of a stretch ceiling in the kitchen
A stretch ceiling in the kitchen is sometimes the best solution for a number of reasons:
- Quick installation (maximum 2 hours).
- The absence of the need to take out all the furniture is especially important in Khrushchev! - it is enough to free the kitchen perimeter.
- Small amount of construction waste is localized at the edges (not "trampled").
- Electrostatic neutrality (does not attract dust).
- Easy to clean due to moisture resistance.
- Stretch ceilings from PVC films not afraid of flooding. With an apparent subtlety (0.15 - 0.2 mm), they are able to hold up to 100 liters of water per 1m2 (water layer up to 10 cm).
- Small surface weight (no more than 320 g / m2). Even a hypothetical fall is safe.

Types of stretch ceilings
Stretch ceilings can be classified by the type of material from which they are made, by the number of levels to be built and by the method of fastening.
What materials are stretch ceilings made of?
Stretch ceilings are made of the following materials:
- stretch ceiling made of PVC film;
- fabric stretch ceiling (polyester textile fiber with polyurethane impregnation).

The properties of these species in operation are largely similar. The principal property is water permeability and slightly increased labor intensity of cleaning the fabric ceiling. These disadvantages are offset by high frost resistance (up to -50aboutFROM).

In this way, tissue the ceiling can be used to decorate the summer kitchen. Fabric stretch ceilings in the winter kitchen of a private house will not only create an excellent design (the photo confirms this). This is prudent: there is still no danger of flooding, and the need to leave the house for a week in winter may arise. In a high-rise building, even in the event of a heating system failure, the temperature stays for a long time ("neighbors warm up").

Useful advice! For owners of a corner apartment in a concrete Khrushchev, a fabric cloth is recommended. In the event of a heating failure in such an apartment, pockets of subzero temperatures may form.

The number of levels in the structure of the stretch ceiling
Choosing a ceiling design does not have to be limited to one level. For you, there are photos of two-level stretch ceilings for the kitchen. For those who save effort by cleaning the kitchen, one level is advisable. The specificity of kitchen pollution is microdroplets of fat that fly up from the pan and stick everywhere, forming the so-called. "Power line". Popular reviews say that "power lines" from the corners are extremely difficult to remove. Especially under the ceiling, from dihedral interlevel corners. It is easy to see in the photo that the stretch ceiling in the kitchen on one level is also very beautiful, especially if there is a chandelier. It is also obvious that two-level ceilings are much more expensive.

Methods for attaching stretch ceilings
The base of the fastening is an aluminum frame, mounted around the perimeter of the room. Fabric ceilings are cold mounted on the frame, PVC ceilings - by heating from a heat gun. For the consumer, it is even more interesting to divide the installation method into wedge (glazing) and harpoon. The harpoon method is convenient because there is no need to dismantle the frame when changing the blade. It's not just about possible damage. New designs are constantly being offered for printing. The old drawing can get bored over time.

Features of care for a stretch ceiling in the kitchen
Stretch ceilings lend themselves well to cleaning, both one- and two-level. It is enough to wipe them with a damp soft cloth.

The cleaning sponge can be moistened with a mild soapy solution.

The use of abrasive detergents when working with a stretch ceiling is not allowed, household chemicals are also undesirable.
In case of flooding, it is necessary to slowly determine the lowest point of the bulge. Prick gently with a needle. After bleeding off all the water, we recommend sticking a small square (5x5 mm) of adhesive tape on the hole or applying a tiny drop of PVA glue to prevent the canvas from “creeping”.
