For the manufacture of suspended ceilings today, canvases of various textures can be used, which makes it possible to use them in a variety of design solutions. One of the most popular types of suspended ceilings today are glossy ceilings, which have the widest scope.
Features of the glossy ceiling
The glossy ceiling is made of PVC fabric, the surface of which has a high reflective ability. Such a canvas is able to reflect up to 95% of the light incident on it, which makes its surface almost mirror-like. The color scheme of glossy ceilings is much wider than matte. Moreover, on dark canvases, the mirror effect is more pronounced.
Using a glossy canvas is the best way to focus on the ceiling and make it a very effective and expressive solution in the interior. It is perfect for various commercial facilities - shops, restaurants, night clubs, fitness centers.
Also fit well and for residential premises, however here it should be used with caution so as not to make the interior design unnecessarily pretentious. For example, it will look very good in the living room, but, for example, in the bedroom, its appropriateness may be in question. In any case, a competent design project is important.
Due to its high reflectivity, the glossy ceiling creates the so-called “second floor effect”, which significantly expands the space visually. In addition, this same ability allows you to make the room brighter. This makes the glossy ceiling an excellent solution for small rooms, as well as for rooms with a lack of lighting.
Main advantages:
- A huge variety of color schemes.
- Very effective and stylish appearance.
- A great combination with spectacular lighting solutions.
- The glossy ceiling visually expands the spaces and makes the room brighter.
What to consider when choosing a glossy ceiling
When choosing stretch ceilings, it is also necessary to consider that a glossy canvas is more expensive than a matte one. Moreover, this surface also determines some functional features.
So, a glossy ceiling, as a rule, is made with a web width of 1.3 meters (less than a matte canvas). As a result, in many cases it is necessary to mount the ceiling with a seam. At the same time, the seam on the glossy surface can be noticeable more than on the matte one.
In addition, glossy stretch ceilings impose additional care requirements, although they can not be called particularly critical.
Glossy Ceiling Care
If the matte ceiling is undemanding in maintenance, then glossy should be taken care of more carefully. Never use abrasive cleaners or a hard cloth. Also, do not use a fleecy fabric, since after washing, fibers can remain on the canvas, which will be very noticeable on the surface of the ceiling.
To care for the ceiling, a dishwashing detergent or a washing powder completely dissolved in water are best suited. Alcohol-containing products and glass detergents are also well suited. It is important to ensure that the product used does not contain acetone or acids.
If the glossy ceiling faded during operation, and a conventional wash does not help restore shine, experts recommend using a ten percent solution of ammonia mixed with water in a ratio of 1 to 9.
