How to glue the stretch ceiling yourself: tips

Натяжной потолок состоит из пленки, тканеподобного полотна или специальной ткани, которые натягиваются на каркасе из профиля. Подвесные потолки монтируются с помощью каркаса, так же и натяжные. Stretch ceilingНатяжные потолки состоят из тонкого материала, который очень легко повредить любым острым предметом. В большинстве случаев такое полотно эластичное и либо натягивается само, растягиваясь, либо нагревается специальным феном, вследствие чего стает эластичнее и натягивается на каркасе. Материал очень тонкий, несмотря на все преимущества, у такого потолка есть один существенный недостаток: неустойчивость материала к различным проколам, воздействию острых предметов. Очень досадно, когда приходится менять из-за этого все полотно. Есть несколько способов, как заклеить .

The causes of the appearance of holes, holes, defects

The first reason is carelessness whenoperation. To avoid such unpleasant things, it is necessary to know some rules of behavior with the structure, both during its use and during installation. Reasons:Often, a stretch ceiling can be damaged during careless installation.

  • Damage during installation of cornices.Often such structures are changed for new curtains and in other similar cases. This also applies to the installation of blinds and other devices in close proximity to the canvas. This is a very common case of damage. During installation, the film can be touched by the sharp end of the cornice or the tool used to fix it. In the process of working with the cornice, it is necessary to make soft pads on its ends and sharp edges, such a pad will be between it and the canvas and will protect it from damage.
  • The hole can be formed from the abandonedup things, it could be a children's toy, a cork of champagne. Sometimes the canvas can withstand such blows, sometimes not. For example, a tube from champagne, it is able in most cases to withstand.
  • Damage to the seam. It is a consequence of the poor quality of the product, the use of too much effort to the film when it is pulled.
  • The rupture can form near the wall due to the fact that the profile is behind. Here the reason is its substandard fixation.
  • Tools you will need for repairs:

    • paint or fabric tape;
    • knife, scissors, a piece of antenna cable;
    • glue, patch made of fabric, fiberglass and similar materials;
    • paint, varnish, needle, nylon thread;
    • hairdryer, flat obtuse object, similar to a spatula.

    Fabric: repair features

    Small cuts can be repaired with tape orsew up with threads. Small cuts are easy to repair. Cuts and holes in fabric seamless ceilings are best eliminated. If a hole has formed in such a canvas, then if it is small, you can sew it up very carefully. To do this, take a thin needle and a thin nylon thread. Then, if the seam is very noticeable, it can be painted over, sealed with transparent matte varnish, it will hide the seam well on a neutral-colored ceiling. In fabric canvases, punctures can also be sealed with fabric tape, a piece of fiberglass wallpaper. If the size of the tear in the stretch ceiling is large and a needle does not solve the problem, take a piece of identical material, ideally this should be the same material from which the canvas is made, if not, then the most closely similar in color and texture matter. Even if the color does not match, this problem will be solved by painting. It is recommended to apply the paint with a spray gun, so it will be applied evenly and when it dries, there will be no visible strokes. Such a patch is glued to the stretch ceiling with a transparent adhesive composition, cyanoacrylate is very suitable. It is glued from the inside of the ceiling and carefully slowly straightened. Before work, it is necessary to check the edges of the fabric, whether they fit well to the patch. And, of course, you need to choose the most similar paint, varnish or other coloring agent possible. In some cases, spray paint may also be suitable. Return to contents</a>

    PVC cloth: practical advice

    For stretch ceilings made of PVC film there areslightly different ways of removing tears, taking into account the specification of the material. Here you need to take into account where the hole was formed, if it is located near the wall (up to 15 cm from it), then the film is dismantled from the frame, the damaged section is cut off from the side of the tear and re-fixed on the profile. There is a danger here, you should not overtighten it more than 15 cm, it can burst, then the entire canvas will become unusable.If the ceiling is damaged near the wall,the area with the cut can be tucked under the baguette. Such cuts are also removed in an original way: it is simply removed into the groove of the baguette on which the canvas is stretched. This is done. Take 10 cm of the antenna cable. Glue it close to the break and parallel to the profile. When the glue has dried, take a hair dryer, heat the canvas, pull it to the groove of the baguette and remove it there, helping yourself with a flat blunt object. If folds appear, they are removed using a similar method: glue the cable along the film, heat it, stretch the film and tuck it into the groove. It is also necessary to take into account the presence of a guarantee on the stretch ceiling canvas from the company that installed it, if it is covered by the guarantee, then you should think carefully, you can entrust this work to specialists. Then it is recommended to patch the hole with masking tape, this will somewhat protect it from creeping in the future. Damage that is far from the wall is hidden by decorative elements, lamps, decorative grilles, and similar devices. Here it is necessary to remind that all holes without exception must be reinforced, otherwise the canvas will tear. For example, a lighting fixture is reinforced with a plastic ring that is resistant to heating. It is fixed with glue to the canvas, then a hole for the fixture is cut in the film along its inner diameter, other fixtures are mounted in a similar way. Punctures are removed with special glue, it is sold in stores, a puncture treated with such glue does not expand further. Return to contents</a>

    Additional points

    Often the canvas comes off at the attachment pointlamp. Then the best solution would be to mask it with a larger ring. If the canvas is very old and worn out, has crystallized or been destroyed by low temperatures, then it is better to replace it completely. That is why it is so important not to throw away the remains of the film after installation, some of it is sure to remain and can then be used as a patch. In some cases, the hole is pasted over with colored film or an applique is mounted on it. If this is done correctly and tastefully, then in addition to the removed hole there will be a decoration in the room. If the film is torn along the seam - this is the worst option. It cannot be repaired in any way, only a complete replacement is needed. Such a nuisance occurs due to poor quality material or improper installation (too much tension). If the gap formed near the wall due to the profile lagging, then this can be easily fixed. The film is dismantled and the profile is changed or fastened in the proper way, then the canvas is inserted again.
