When choosing the design of stretch ceilings, it is imperative to match their appearance with the style of the room, wallpaper on the walls, furniture and floor. It is necessary to accurately match the ceiling structure and the interior of the hall, which is the largest room in size. Therefore, the use of a two-level stretch ceiling may become too expensive a project. Sometimes the stretch ceiling is used only in places, for example, it is stretched in the center of the ceiling, and a plasterboard structure is installed around it. For the hall, it is appropriate to use a ceiling with patterns that will please the eyes of guests. For various lighting fixtures, you can also provide various buttons for turning off the devices for lighting the room for both a chandelier and spotlights. Due to the use of glossy canvases, the appearance of the room becomes richer, which can visually expand it. If matte or satin textures are used, this helps to add softness and comfort. The spotlights used can have a completely original appearance. After installing the stretch fabric, it is important to pay attention to the method of mounting the ceiling curtain rod in the hall. For this, 2 methods are used, one of which is associated with the installation of a special bar, fixed to the opposite walls, and the second with the installation of the curtain rod in the niche of the stretch ceiling. The design may differ in the method of installing the lighting fixtures. You can also use a special insert that allows you to close the gap between the wall and the canvas.

Tiled and rack-mounted suspended ceiling
Options for gluing ceiling tiles.Many people associate a tile suspended ceiling with the installation of clay tiles, which are most suitable for the floor or walls of the room. However, this design cannot be installed independently, and finishing work will be associated with the expenditure of large funds. Being in such a room is a risky pleasure. The use of tile suspended structures is associated with the use of completely different materials than ceramic tiles. In this case, there is no need to strengthen the frame with the subsequent implementation of complex technological tasks. Cassette and tile suspended structures are rarely used in halls, as they are more suitable for offices. Such a solution will not make the living room comfortable. Panel structures are often used in residential premises, but they are not very suitable for the hall:
These slabs can be used for kitchen, bathroom,bathrooms or hallways, and for the hall it is better to use a stretch canvas or plasterboard. The ideal solution for a large hall is a slatted structure made of plastic or metal. If the hall has a high level of humidity, it is better not to install a metal slatted structure, since rust and stains may form when exposed to condensation. Return to contents</a>Introduction to types of suspended structures
Scheme of a slatted plasterboard ceiling.When choosing a suspended ceiling structure for a hall, it is best to stop your attention on plastic, since when using it, the joints will become invisible, creating the illusion of a single space. The color range and price of suspended ceilings made of plastic allows you to make the right choice. The use of plastic river structures is practical in the process of their operation, they allow you to hide all communications in the space behind them. You can install a special hatch that allows you to open access to each wire or cord. But you can do without hatches. A tiled suspended ceiling is mounted with the initial installation of a frame on which a tile of a rectangular or square shape is fixed. This ceiling structure should accurately repeat each of the contours of the room. Often, white tiles are used, which have a high ability to reflect light. After installing a tiled ceiling in a hall, which consists of white tiles, it can be painted in any other color or some other original pattern can be applied. Tile ceiling structures are divided into moisture-resistant and non-moisture-resistant.
Frame diagram for suspended ceiling.The use of non-moisture-resistant ceilings is also typical for halls. Such ceilings are associated with the use of mineral fiber tiles or other types of tiles. Moisture-resistant ceilings can be assembled from tiles that are characterized by the absence of deformation and swelling under the influence of moisture. Accordingly, when choosing such tiles, a frame consisting of a moisture-resistant supporting material is used. Depending on the selected type of material, the slabs are glued, fastened with screws, inserted into the appropriate holes. Before installation, all relevant measurements are taken. This allows you to maintain the center of symmetry on the ceiling, only after this they begin installing the ceiling structure. The ceiling structure for the hall will allow you to level the ceiling, hiding all the irregularities. Each of the structures has a flat surface, allowing you to make the ceiling in the hall not only original, but also high-quality.
