Ceiling

Modern technologies have expanded the possibilities of the ceiling design, now it is possible to create visually volumetric drawings on a flat surface. Stretch ceilings made of polyvinyl chloride or fabric have become a familiar solution in the ceiling. To make a monochrome canvas or color photo printing more attractive and original, use the 3D effect. The volume of the pattern is achieved in two ways:

use of a three-dimensional image;
creating a multi-level design.

We will understand how to make a suspended ceiling with a 3D pattern.

The order of work

Work on creating the original ceiling begins with the preparation of the project. Special computer programs most clearly and in detail draw the three-dimensional images, which are then transferred with the help of photo printing onto vinyl film or polyester textiles. Catalogs of companies manufacturing stretch ceilings are rich in bright images of various subjects: space, sky, animals, flowers and landscapes. For any stylistic design of the room there is a suitable pattern. If you wish, you can offer your own version of the image, and the pattern on the ceiling will be original and original. The printer with a large-scale resolution transfers the photo to the canvas, the image is colorful and durable, it is not erased from water or exposure to light.

Any suspended ceiling comes to life when you install the right lighting, but a 3D image without it is simply unthinkable. Built-in lights or hidden behind the canvas lights help in creating a volumetric perception of the picture.

Image with 3D effect can occupy the entire surface of the ceiling or only part of it. The division of the canvas with color accents visually divides the space of the room into separate zones. Processing with special programs allows you to choose the right color solution and make a pattern for each part of the stretch ceiling.

What is the advantage

The main advantage of such a ceiling design is the creation of an original room design. But the aesthetic function is not the only quality due to which this type of finish is chosen, it is worth noting:

speed of installation, creating a perfectly flat surface in a short time;
moisture resistance of the canvas;
long service life;
additional heat and sound insulation.

Note! Stretch ceiling with three-dimensional pattern is a universal variant of decoration, it is appropriate in any room of a residential building, in an office room, entertainment venue, hotel or restaurant.

3D ceiling models

To enhance the effect of volume, guide profiles are fixed at different levels and at different angles. Popular design options are:

Arch - the profile of the structure is fixed on the wall and on the ceiling, the stretched canvas takes on a rounded shape, creating the effect of an arch. If such a system is installed around the perimeter of the room, a dome is formed. The use of glossy mirror film enhances the visual effect, creates a feeling of increasing the height of the ceiling.
Cone - the canvas goes down in the form of drops or truncated cones, the lower part of the structure is decorated with a lamp. This option is used for the original decoration of columns in spacious rooms.
Waves - the technique of curvilinear fastening of the canvas, forming waves of different heights, the most spectacular and complex in execution. The effect of the movement of the waves is enhanced by well-chosen lighting. The pitch and depth of the waves can be the same or vary according to the designer's idea; the glossy gloss of the vinyl film will complement the effect of the sea surface.

How to install

Tension structures with three-dimensional image are installed in the same way as other models of ceilings. When using PVC film requires its heating with a heat gun. The image on the vinyl ceiling is applied in a compressed form and takes the desired form after tensioning the canvas. The fabric ceiling does not need heating, the canvas is immediately refueled into the mounting profile. When fastening the frame for the 3D ceiling, not only a special profile is used, but also dividers with three-dimensional edges. For fixing the canvas used baguette and fixing cord.

For the application of three-dimensional pattern, any canvas is suitable: matte, glossy, satin, but the effect on them will be somewhat different.

Note! Drawing 3D images visually expands the boundaries of the room, but in a small room with a low ceiling, the effect is lost, and installing such a stretch ceiling will only take up some of the space.
