Suspended ceiling - not only stylish designinterior, but also useful in many respects the design. Modern materials used in the manufacture of stretch ceilings, can isolate the room from extraneous noise, improve its thermal insulation and fire safety. Suspended ceiling is not only stylishinterior decoration, but also useful in many respects the design. One of the main tasks that must be solved in the design of suspended structures is the measurement. From the accuracy of all measurements will depend not only on the appearance of the ceiling, but also on its service life. Therefore, to solve this task should be approached with all responsibility. Next, we will consider how to measure the tension ceiling.
Registration of the metering form
Before ordering a tensioning structure, you need to doMeasurement of the ceiling where it will be mounted, and create a working sketch. If you plan to conduct all the measurements yourself, then you will need a measurement form. It can be obtained from a company that manufactures and installs tension ceilings. Registration of the blank. The form draws a schematic sketch of the future product. In this case, all measurements must be made with maximum accuracy (deviations not more than 5 mm are allowed). If mistakes are made during the measurement, the suspended ceiling will also be manufactured incorrectly, which will lead to additional time and financial costs for eliminating all inaccuracies. It should also be taken into account that if any construction work was carried out between the measurement and until the ceiling was installed in the room, which led to a change in the configuration of the room, this could lead to a disagreement between the contractor and the customer. Therefore, in order to avoid this situation, the following recommendations should be adhered to:
- the ceiling tension should be measured by 2 different people who will work independently of each other, after which the results are checked against each other;
- the representative of the manufacturer should check the sketch and confirm its correctness.

Measuring the ceiling for a simple room
For all measurements you may need:
- roulette;
- laser rangefinder;
- form;
- pencil.
Measuring the ceiling for a simple shape. If the room in which it is planned to install the hinged structure has a simple shape (rectangle or square), the order of measurement will look like this:

Measurement of a two-level construction
Creating a sketch of a two-level stretch ceiling- a rather complicated operation, in which it is necessary to take into account a lot of factors. Therefore, it is recommended to entrust this work to a specialist. If you are completely confident in your abilities, then you can try to do it yourself. The two-level ceiling allows to create a unique design of the room, to give it freshness and to get rid of shortcomings. Measuring the ceiling for a room with a complex rectilinearform. With the right choice of suspension structure, it becomes possible to make effective space zoning. When choosing a two-level stretch ceiling, you should pay attention to the following:
Two-level stretch ceilings can be of various designs, the measurement of which has its own nuances. The most popular designs of two-level ceilings are:
- closed curve;
- ellipse;
- a circle;
- from wall to wall.
Measurement of a two-level design. A closed curve is a curvilinear construction of arbitrary shape. Its measurement is carried out as follows:
- the whole figure is divided by points into geometric arcs, that is, to curvilinear sections with a constant radius (A, B, C, ..., J);
- the chords of the obtained arcs are measured (L1, L2, ..., L10);
- from any point (for example, from point A) all diagonals are measured;
- The lengths of all arcs (d1, d2, ..., d10) are calculated.
After carrying out all the measurements you needdetermine the place where the 1st and 2nd levels of the ceiling will be placed. In this case, the sketch indicates the height of the 1st and 2nd level and the type of transition (simple transition, backlit, etc.). Measuring a two-level ceiling of an elliptical shape is much easier. To do this, you need to measure 2 heights of the ellipse, specify the location of the 1st and 2nd level, and the type of transition. For the design of a circular shape, only the diameter of the circle should be measured with further indication of the data, as in the previous example. Measurement of curvilinear stretch ceiling, designed as "from wall to wall", is carried out on the same principle as in the first case. To measure the hanging ceiling it is quite possible with your own hands. The main thing is to strictly follow all the rules and recommendations. </ ul>
