Stretch ceilings in our time are extremely popular. Many install them, because they are aesthetic and durable. However, even with this design, for some reason, repairs may sometimes be required. If the damage is small, you can try to repair it yourself.
Suppose this situation: you brought furniture into the apartment and accidentally damaged the suspended ceiling. Repair in this case, most likely, will consist in closing the hole. First of all, it must be sealed with tape so that it does not diverge. Then you can try to apply a patch. For this, a piece of suitable size is cut out of a film or fabric of the same color. Then the canvas is carefully removed from the frame on one side. You will also need some suitable glue. The patch is installed on the back side of the fabric and pressed tightly. After that, it remains only to fix it in place.
The stretch ceiling, the repair of which in most cases is simple, can also stretch. This occurs when the apartment is flooded by neighbors from above. The canvas holds water and can be drained slowly without flooding the room. However, of course, this affects the film. In this case, the room is preliminarily prepared. It is best to take indoor plants out of it and drive out pets. It is also a good idea to remove all small items that could go bad.
After that, the floor is covered with cloth or cardboard, and the door is closed. Of the tools in this case, a
building hair dryer will be needed
. With it, the surface of the ceiling must be warmed up. In addition, it is worth pulling the canvas around the perimeter. Most likely, after this the problem will be fixed. You will get a flat stretch ceiling. Repair will have to be done in a slightly different way if the water was dirty. In this case, you will have to remove the fabric completely and rinse using suitable detergents. Then it is pulled back onto the frame. As you can see, the problem is solved quite simply.
Separately, it is worth mentioning such a design as a fabric stretch ceiling. Repairing it may be somewhat more complicated. Firstly, it will need to be thoroughly dried. The second thing that you will probably have to do is adjust the color. To do this, you can use acrylic dye. It is evenly and accurately applied to the surface of the ceiling using a roller.
Another quite common problem is the melting of the film in the area of the lamps. In this case, it is best to close the damaged area with a special metal ring in harmony with the lamp. But sometimes it turns out that the width of the ring is not enough to hide the damaged part. In this case, there will be only one way out - contact the specialists who will repair the suspended ceilings for you. The price for this service depends on the area of the room, since you will have to change the canvas. Usually it is about 70% of the cost of the ceiling itself.
You will have to change the canvas even if the hole in it is too large. In the same case, if a seam runs out on it or a profile moves away from the wall, you will be required to make repair of suspended ceilings free of charge. This kind of causeless damage can only occur due to installation errors. After all, the stretch ceiling is quite light and its own weight should withstand without problems.
