Bathroom features and ceiling requirements
This room is not the main thing in the apartment or home. However, to him, as well as to other rooms, requirements. The bathroom is made of quality materials that are easy to clean and practical. And this is not by chance, since strong and stable loads are carried out on all the finishing materials - sudden changes in temperature and humidity, the ingress of detergents on the surfaces damage them.
What should it be in this room:
Tensioner has high strength
For this room use different materials for decoration. But not all of them have the necessary indicators that are important for this room. The most qualitative, meeting all necessary requirements, the stretch ceiling is.
return to menu ↑Types of tension cloths and their features
Stretch there are several types. And a person who first encounters a choice can easily get confused. To help you understand, I propose to consider in detail each option. Currently, there are only two types of tensioning canvases.
return to menu ↑Film
They are manufactured with a maximum width of 2 meters. All ceilings of greater width have a weld. But it is almost invisible. Installation is carried out by the equipment - a gun, which heats the canvas to a temperature of 60-70 ° C0. The film is stretched due to the effects of high temperature and is attached to a pre-mounted frame.
Immediately after installation, it sags a little, but after cooling it becomes taut. The variety of textures - you can choose glossy, matte, to the canvas with the effect of "metallic" or "starry sky." The palette of PVC models is much wider than that of the fabric, in addition, the paint falls better and brighter. The cost of models is slightly lower than the fabric.
Film option
Fabric
Cloths have a maximum width of 5 meters. Installation is carried out in a "cold way". There are several advantages of this material: it is possible to impart any color due to the application of an appropriate polymer to the fabric; these fabrics also have the highest moisture resistance due to the use of a lacquer coating. In addition, this canvas "breathes", which is especially important for the bathroom. However, fabric webs are much harder to clean. The cost is slightly higher than the analog.
Fabric option
Advantages and disadvantages
Stretch have many of its features, which determine the scope of their use. The main advantages include:
- variety of colors and textures. You can choose glossy, matte with a metallic luster of the canvas, as well as products that depict drawings, such as the starry sky, bright sun, clouds. Light-colored tension cloths visually change the space, increasing the volume of the room;
- environmental friendliness and safety. They do not emit any harmful substances regardless of the time of operation. The canvas is able to hold a significant load. This indicator is very important for the bathroom. Even if neighbors flood you from above, the PVC film is able to withstand a load of 100 kg per 1 m2. Fabrics are also strong, but they can leak;
Environmentally friendly
- durability and practicality. Cloths do not absorb moisture, they do not form stains from moisture. To make them clean, just wipe with a damp cloth. Fungi and mold are not formed on the surfaces due to the high humidity in this room;
- simplicity of installation and profitability. Stretch canvas quickly mounted, use the room where they are installed, you can already on this day. The features include: reusable. If repairs are necessary in the bathroom, the canvas can be removed, the necessary work can be done, and then re-mounted.
Mounted fast enough
Despite the significant advantages, stretch canvases have their drawbacks:
- relatively high cost. This disadvantage is not fundamental, since the service life and strength fully justify the relatively high price;
- installation can be carried out exclusively by professionals using equipment, depending on the type. This moment affects the total cost, which is not very good;
Installation can only be done by a professional.
- Can be easily damaged with a sharp object. However, we are talking about a bathroom where there are none, and it is difficult to get a sharp object. This moment is important only during installation, but if it is carried out by professional workers, it’s not worth worrying about. They use professional tools that minimize the risk of damage, in addition, they are experienced and do not make mistakes;
- if the area of the room is large, then under certain lighting it is possible to see the joints that go through PVC products every 2 meters, and for fabric products - 5 meters.
Comparing all these moments, it becomes clear that they have much more advantages than disadvantages. In addition, the cons are not so significant.
return to menu ↑What ceiling to install in the bathroom?
Who is going to do the repair, is always interested in what is best to install a suspended ceiling in the bathroom, because among the many options it is difficult to make a choice.
return to menu ↑The advantages of glossy stretch canvas
For a wet room it is better not to find a material than PVC film. It is made of glossy canvas. PVC has a high moisture resistance. The film does not pass and does not absorb moisture. Dirt, despite the mirror surface, does not settle, besides, due to the synthetic material, fungus and mold are not formed.
PVC has a high moisture resistance.
As a rule, bathrooms have a small area, the ceilings in them are low. Of course, the exceptions are private homes. And making repairs using glossy PVC film can visually enlarge the space. Gloss solves this problem, besides if there are difficulties with the choice of color, then take note that the widest range of colors and shades in these canvases.
Thanks to this material, the reflectivity increases.
The glossy ceiling has a mirror-like surface, and the reflectance is greatly increased. Two-level constructions look impressive in this room. They visually increase the space of the room, make this room very beautiful. Designers often resort to this method when decorating small spaces. They put the right accents, focusing on functional areas.
return to menu ↑Matte PVC canvas
These paintings are of interest to those who like the conservative style. Externally matte stretch ceiling is no different from the traditional: it is elegant, concise. It is suitable for a bathroom made in any style, but more often it is preferred to install it in rooms made in the classical direction.
Matt option gives conservative interior
Matt does not reflect anything, there is no play of light - everything is strict and stylish. There is a significant positive aspect - the depth of colors. Such canvases are so beautifully painted in different colors that the effect of the color scheme will not leave anyone indifferent. In addition, the relatively low cost will please the thrifty.
return to menu ↑Black stretch
The use of dark colors in the interior is a bold decision. However, in some styles this color is the main one - it is an urban style. With the dark also combined modern, avant-garde, minimalism. However, there is a main rule that is worth adhering to - you need to dilute the dark color with lighter shades, up to white.
The use of dark colors in the interior
Tips from experts: how to dilute the black color in the bathroom
These rooms are rarely with the desired height and area, so many, when they make a black tension, can make mistakes, as a result of which the room becomes visually small and gloomy. What you need to know to make a good repair?
These colors work well with black:
- silver - it is suitable for finishing the corners of the room. It also looks good in tandem with black, if it is on the walls, but in small quantities;
- gold - in the bathroom they can paint the wall surfaces or choose tile with a pattern of this shade. But it is not recommended to use only these two colors in the same room;
- yellow is a great ally of black. Its brightness neutralizes the darkness of black;
- Green is an excellent option for creating the perfect tandem. However, bright shades of this color look better.
You can combine the gloss of gloss and matte surfaces of walls
With classic style you need to be careful. It is important to combine the tones in the correct proportions and not allow the predominance of only black. If a bathroom is made where the canvas will be black and the walls are white, it is better to dilute this contrast with any beautiful and bright appliqué on the walls.
To minimize the negative effect, you can use a plinth of light shades. Mirrors will also help dilute the gloom from black. When choosing a stretch is better to pay attention to the glossy canvas. They have a mirror effect and visually give this room a volume. In addition, the gloss will create an interesting optical effect.
return to menu ↑Rack or stretch?
You have already become familiar with the features of tension with their advantages and disadvantages. To understand what lath or tension will be better for a bathroom, you need to study the characteristics of another model.
Imitation wood - looks very comfortable
So, lath is made of aluminum panels and inserts from the same material. Installation of the structure is carried out with the help of suspensions, which are securely attached to the floor slabs.
Aluminum or galvanized combs are used as guides. The choice of texture and color is quite large. You can choose the most appropriate shades, colors. In addition, designs can be:
- glossy;
- matte;
- perforated;
- with imitation of the skin;
- stone
To install will have to retreat from the base by 10 cm.
- high strength of structures, as well as durability;
- Aluminum is not susceptible to corrosion, so this material is the best for the bathroom;
- no fungus or mold is formed on the structure;
- care is quite simple, just wipe with a damp cloth;
- in the case of flooding, the structure will not suffer, but it will let all the water into the bathroom;
- good value.
High structural strength and durability
- rack mounting is carried out very long, mainly it is done by professionals;
- Rack constructions should not be installed in rooms with low ceilings, since they drop 10 cm down during installation;
- Due to the external features of the product are not suitable for all styles in the room;
- when flooded, all the water will enter the room.
Rack looks pretty good. By combining colors and shades, you can make a beautiful surface. In addition, if you choose a design with mirrored stripes, you can visually expand the space in the bathroom. The choice of colors and shades is as wide as that of PVC film.
Popular white canvases
It is impossible to say which ceiling is better for this room. Make a choice in favor of a product will help a comparative analysis of these structures:
- Both materials have good moisture resistance. However, the tension protects the property from flooding.
- Strength is higher in a rack, but its surface is not ideally smooth, like a tension one.
- The way of care and frequency are the same. Both designs do not require special attention and for cleaning it is enough to wipe with a damp cloth.
- If the room is poorly ventilated, it is better to use the rack.
- The choice of luminaires and the method of their installation for rail structures is very large, which cannot be said for stretch structures.
- For low spaces are better suited PVC fabric.
Tension cloths have much more advantages, and their appearance is better.
return to menu ↑Constructive varieties
All structures are attached to the walls with the help of baguettes. However, the method of installation may be different, depending on the design of the tension.
- single level. For a bathroom, such construction is most often used. It is easy to install, installation costs will be negligible. In addition, the single-level canvas is easier to care for, it is more reliable;
For a bathroom, single-level are most often used
- multilevel is less commonly used in apartments. Most often, this design in the bathroom is used in private homes, where the area of this room is large enough. Different levels can be made in several ways.The first is a plasterboard construction. The second is using a profile that allows you to make structures without using additional materials. In arranging such a construction, webs use different textures, colors, patterns;
- arched shape transforms the bathroom. You can get away from standard geometric shapes and transitions. The canvas smoothly moves from the ceiling to the walls;
- wave form. Wave crests look interesting in the bathroom. Interesting composition looks in a combination of dark and light colors of glossy canvas;
Multi-level ceiling is more commonly used in homes.
- the cone-shaped form can be made in several ways: to make one whole with the main canvas or with the help of profiles a separate structure is made and the ceiling is stretched separately from the main one. Here you can use several shades;
- the road in the dunes - the shape and appearance of such a ceiling completely resembles a sand dune. By changing the depth and diameter of the waves, you can create interesting effects. Glossy cloths effectively look.
Lamp selection
A bathroom like any other requires proper lighting. However, the tension can not solve this issue quickly and easily. Because not all light fixtures suitable for him, in addition, they need to be properly positioned relative to each other. Let's start with the most important thing - the choice of lamps.
Bathroom, like any other requires proper lighting
To begin with, the tension is a sheet of film that stretches under the base base at a distance of up to 5 cm. That is, there is a small distance between PVC film and plates, which are used for wiring.
Thus it turns out that it is possible to carry out the installation of spotlights, chandeliers, LED strips. After all, the mount is absolutely reliable.
return to menu ↑Spotlights
Spotlights are great
A lot of controversy causes the installation of spotlights. Many argue that their installation can damage the fabric. Others say that it is possible to mount products, but only of a certain shape and size. In fact, spotlights for a stretch ceiling are great, but you need to follow the rules:
- if the lighting devices are designed for halogen light sources, then you need to use lamps no more powerful than 30 W;
- luminescent and LED lamps are suitable for any power.
Original lighting solution
- The square shape of the luminaire is undesirable, as there are size limitations Before you buy square recessed fixtures, you need to check with the specialists, what sizes are acceptable for your stretch ceiling. Only those who will be assembling and showrooms where PVC canvases are made can know this information. For example, such platforms are available for square models: 100 * 100 mm, 110 * 110 mm, 150 * 150 mm, 160 * 160 mm, 200 * 200 mm;
- as for overhead spotlights, there are no restrictions.
Lamps - suspensions
You can use long lamps-suspensions. Models with several suspensions, which are located on one base, and lamps with several separate suspensions, are suitable. Such models can be used for lighting because the heating part is far from PVC of cloths. Lamps can choose any power.
Bulbs are at a distance - this is a safer option.
There are some nuances regarding the installation and its cost. When installing the system, where all the fixtures will be on the same platform, the cost of installation will be relatively low. However, when installing single-lamp suspensions, the price will increase several times.
Because for each separate construction you need to bring the wiring, cut a certain form of mortgage. Therefore, from the point of view of economy, it is better to choose multi-bulb designs.. From the standpoint of style - of course, the second option is better.

Chandeliers of any models and a fort are suitable for a bathroom. The main thing is that they fit into the style of the premises. Buying such lamps you can not limit yourself in anything, in form, size, height. In addition, when installing such structures have a tight fit with the surface of the film, because the base is wide.
Ceiling chandelier
What kind of lighting is not suitable?
This is due to the fact that such light sources will heat up during prolonged use and may damage the surface of the canvas. In addition, lamps with halogen or incandescent lamps should be placed in such a way that the distance between the light source and the canvas was at least 100 mm.
return to menu ↑How to arrange correctly?
If a white matte texture is used, then such a ceiling is visually no different from the usual one. Therefore, there are no special requirements for the location of lighting devices. However, if the canvas is glossy, you need to take into account the fact that the light source will be reflected on such a surface as in a mirror. As a result, if a luminaire with three light sources is used, then at reflection they will be twice as large.
There are no special requirements for the location of lighting devices.

Installation
Installation of the web is quite easy. However, it will not be easy to do it yourself, since equipment is needed. In addition, if there are no skills, to do such work quickly and efficiently will not work. Since there are some features in the mounting method that only a specialist knows.
Assembly sequence
Before you get started, you need to prepare a tool. Since we have already found out that it is better to install PVC film than a fabric one in the bathroom, a heat gun will be required. In addition, you need:
- perforator;
- screwdriver;
- Bulgarian;
- drill;
- spatula;
- roulette;
- pencil;
- hammer;
- file.
Beautiful bathroom in dark colors
Before installation, you need to hold all the electrics.
Stages of work:
- it is necessary to install a skew builder to the estimated height of the baguette;
- then using a pencil to draw a level. Specification - the height of the canvas is chosen by customers, however, the minimum distance between it and the base should be 5 mm.
The figures break the bathroom into two zones
In the style of minimalism
- turning the canvas, you need to pay attention to the location of the harpoon - this is a strip glued along the perimeter of the canvas. And it must be bent inward into the room;
- the room is heated in order to stretch the film;
- when the room is heated and the elasticity of the canvas is felt, the product is inserted into the baguette with the help of a spatula. First you need to fix it in the corners, then around the perimeter.
Bright ceiling can be a highlight of the room
After this work, it remains to make two elements - to make a hole under the lamp and install a decorative insert around the perimeter of the room.
To mount the lamp will need:
- To make a hole, you need plastic rings that need to be glued to the canvas in the place where the platform was previously hung. Then you need to grope with your finger the center of the hole in the platform and glue the ring. But this must be done so that their centers coincide;
- after the glue dries, you need to cut a hole in the center of the ring. This is done with a construction knife. Then wires for the lamp are brought out.
It remains only to install a decorative inset around the perimeter. It is inserted in the same trowel as the canvas. Everything is done gradually and carefully. The only thing you can add is that the corners of the insert are better glued with silicone.
