The versatility of Stretch Ceilings, once limited to commercial projects, is now expanding into the home lighting market. This option is becoming a more practical alternative to the traditional method of using plaster to close off niches. But what is a Stretch Ceiling anyway? And how can I use it in lighting and architectural projects?
The Stretch Ceiling
Stretch Ceilings are a lighting and interior design solution made from flexible plastic films with high molecular memory and flame retardant additives. Due to its composition it is an excellent option for diffusing light, closing off niches and decorating any kind of space.
By other hand, the Tensoflex® system combines all these advantages with aluminum profiles specially designed to meet the exact needs of each project. As such, all the profiles are designed to perfectly fit the Stretch Ceilings, which can be used in walls, ceilings, metal structures, plaster niches and other surfaces. Generally, the profiles are fixed by screwing or gluing around the perimeter and the installers finish the Stretch Ceilings once the lighting has been completed. In summary, now that you know the basics about our products, check out the main questions our customers often have when specifying Stretch Ceilings in their projects.
How does the lighting on Translucent Stretch Ceilings work?
To generate a specific lighting effect, better known as the “skylight effect” or homogeneous lighting, installers place the Stretch Ceilings at the bottom of the niche, illuminated by LED strips or LED tube lights. Based on project specifications and lighting requirements, our team can confirm if quantity, power and color temperature are correct.
