A popular way to express individuality in interior design is the installation of a combined ceiling. Thanks to such a ceiling structure, you can not only hide the shortcomings of the base floor, but also create a zoning of the room and make its design complete, as in the photo.
They install combined stretch ceilings in the hall, kitchen, bedroom using modern finishing materials, which did not exist until recently. For example, PVC film made it possible to introduce a completely new solution into the design of ceilings, which is very much in demand today.
As you can see in the video, the design of combined stretch ceilings allows you to combine different textures and colors, as well as beat their contrast. As a result, it became possible to combine structures that are different in terms of mounting technique, while they are distinguished by reliability and durability in operation.
Advantages and disadvantages of combined ceilings
The advantages of combined ceilings include:
- the design of such ceilings in large areas makes it possible to make almost invisible welds, which are very noticeable on the flat surface of the PVC sheet;
- in some cases, such combinations make it possible to use finishing materials that remained unclaimed during the repair for the design of the ceiling, and thereby save money.
Each of the options for combining various ceiling structures has not only some advantages, there are also disadvantages, the main of which is that it is difficult to create them, so special knowledge and considerable practical experience will be required. The remaining negative points are inherent in the materials from which they are made.
Combined tension systems
Combined stretch ceilings are rightfully considered to be one of the most affordable and unique design options for finishing the ceiling - their photos can be seen on the website. To date, there are many ways to possibly combine stretch fabrics. It can be a single-level structure or a two-level system.
A single-tier ceiling looks great when its canvas is soldered from multi-colored pieces of PVC film, while the joints, depending on the desire of the client, can be either straight or curved. When creating such structures, it should be borne in mind that during installation, the canvas is heated to a temperature exceeding 65 degrees, after which it is stretched, as a result of which the seam may shift slightly and the originally intended design solution will turn out to be somewhat different. This is especially true for straight lines. Therefore, it is customary to connect them using a special profile.
Bunk combined stretch ceilings in the hall and other rooms look more original. Here, a lot of options open up for design ideas, allowing you to combine all kinds of colors and textures - for example, satin fabric with a mirror or matte PVC film with a glossy one.
Among the popular designs, there are those in which the height difference is used to equip hidden lighting and those that resemble the night starry sky. For combined stretch ceilings, the price can be very different - it all depends on the materials used and the complexity of the design.
Combination of stretch and plasterboard ceiling
The design of combined plasterboard and stretch ceilings can be very different, for example:
- multi-colored or plain PVC film inserts are made into the drywall construction;
- part of the ceiling system consists of drywall, and all the remaining space is occupied by a stretch ceiling solid or soldered from pieces;
- in the center of the drywall box, a tension insert of any shade is installed;
An example of how combined drywall and stretch ceilings are created can be seen in the video posted on the site and read the detailed article: "". At the same time, two types of ceiling structures can be located not only in one plane, but also in several. The number of options for their design cannot be counted, since the possibility of applying photo printing on a stretch fabric is supplemented by finishing plasterboard with decorative plaster or various types of wallpaper.
Combination of suspended and plasterboard ceilings
You can achieve an unsurpassed effect, similar to that observed when installing a glossy stretch fabric, if you create combined ones. And in this case, it is possible to create numerous options for ceiling systems.
How to make a combined ceiling, the design of which will be exclusively individual? For example, for interior design, a suspended aluminum ceiling, which has a wide variety of shades, and plasterboard are combined. By the way, instead of metal cassettes, colored glass inserts will look great.
Combination of suspension systems
Combined stretch ceilings in the kitchen (more:), in the bathroom or hall are created today using rack and cassette systems, Grilyato and Armstrong ceilings. But in residential premises they are practically not installed.
