STRETCH CEILING - THE NEW TREND IN DESIGN

Structure of stretch ceilings such as lighting system, frame, and membrane.

1. Lighting system

The lighting system installed in the upper part is attached to the concrete structure of the ceiling such as led lights, neon lights, fiber optic lights, downlights.

The lighting system is spread out to help diffuse light throughout the room, not concentrated at a corner. At the same time, the lighting system of stretch ceiling uses the most energy-saving light bulbs that do not affect the health of the user.

2. Flexible frame structure

The structure of the ceiling is manufactured according to each design to meet all the requirements. The structure is made of 100% recycled aluminum that is fixed to the concrete structure of the ceiling.

3. The stretch membrane

This is a great material. The stretch membrane is made of synthetic PVC, has the ability to light from 40% - 90% depending on the purpose and preferences of customers.

The stretch membrane can be stretched by a certain degree of thermal action, and when fixed to the frame will hold the elasticity. For this reason, the membrane can withstand external forces such as weight, or pressure. The biggest advantage o the stretch membrane that it is fire resistant and can reposition itself after the impact of external forces.
