What you need to consider when choosing a glossy ceiling

When choosing stretch ceilings, it is also necessary to take into account that the glossy fabric is more expensive than the matte. In this case, such a surface causes some functional features.

So, the glossy ceiling, as a rule, is made by a width of a cloth of 1,3 meters (it is less, in comparison with a matte cloth). As a result, in many cases it is necessary to mount the ceiling with a seam. At the same time, on the glossy surface, the seam can be noticeable more than on the matte.

In addition, glossy stretch ceilings require additional care, although they can not be called particularly critical.

Care of the glossy ceiling

If the matte ceiling is undemanding in care, then the glossy should be taken care of more carefully. In no case should you use abrasive cleaners and hard fabrics. Also, do not use a fleecy fabric, because after washing on the canvas can remain villi, which will be strongly visible on the surface of the ceiling.

To care for the ceiling is best suitable dishwashing detergent or a completely dissolved in water detergent. Alcohol-containing products and glass cleaners are also well suited. It is important to ensure that the product used does not contain acetone or acids.

If the glossy ceiling fades during use, and conventional washing does not help restore shine, experts recommend using a 10% solution of ammonia, mixed with water in the proportion of 1 to 9.
