The colors and texture of the canvases are very diverse. The only drawback of textile fabrics is the relatively high cost and low resistance to moisture.

How are stretch ceilings held?

The beginning of work on the installation of the tensioning structure is fixing the height of the baguettes of reinforced plastics or metal to a certain technology.

The fixation is fixed in the baguette profile, after which the heating stops. With slow cooling, the canvas is perfectly stretched. Baguette profile with this method of attachment is used aluminum. It is only necessary to install the lining on the gaps. This method of mounting is faster and better. Fastening if necessary can be unfastened and returned to the place on their own.
