Mos Sealing has been a leader in the Russian market of modern stretch ceilings for more than ten years.. The basis of the tensile structure is a canvas made on a fabric basis or from a vinyl film. In terms of their properties, the materials are largely similar, but there are also significant differences..
Fabric stretch fabrics
Polyester fabric with polyurethane impregnation is a dense fabric dyed in pastel colors. It retains its properties at both high and low temperatures. For cosmetic purposes or to change the interior of the room, such canvases can be painted with acrylic paints. On the canvases, it is possible to apply any pattern using a large-format printer.
Film stretch fabrics
PVC film is very flexible and tough. These properties determine its popularity and indispensability. The following advantages are inherent in film tensioning structures:
waterproofness. When water gets in, the canvas does not leak and holds water (up to 100 liters per 1 sq. M), keeping furniture and walls from getting wet;
moisture resistance — condensation does not form on the film, and, therefore, mold formation is impossible. This allows the use of film stretch ceilings in bathrooms and kitchens;
antistatic — dust and fumes do not settle on the film;
the versatility of the film structure lies in the possibility of its replacement without dismantling the frame;
simple and easy maintenance of the canvas consists in wiping the film with a dry or, if necessary, damp cloth once or twice a year. It is important that the fabric is soft and does not scratch the fabric structure. For wet cleaning, do not use alcohol or solvent. It is enough to use liquid for cleaning windows;
fire safety — the film does not support the combustion process, does not emit harmful substances.
The assortment of the Mos Sealing company includes several textures of film canvases in a wide range of colors. These are matte, satin, lacquer, suede, translucent, metallic and patterned textures. Each of them finds its application, both in simple and complex design projects. In rooms where the height allows, multi-level ceilings are often used, in which several textures are used simultaneously. Talented designers, combining lighting systems with various materials in complex structures, create highly artistic projects for large rooms, depending on their purpose.
When installing film tensioning structures, it is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of their application. Unlike fabric structures, film sheets are not resistant to low and high temperatures. They retain their properties well from +5 to + 50C. For the same reason, it is necessary to pay attention to their power when choosing luminaires. For incandescent lamps, it should not be higher than 60 W, for halogen lamps — 35 W.
Installation of simple tensioning canvases is carried out by a team of 2-3 people within 2-3 hours without dust and debris. At the same time, the customer does not need to move out of the apartment and take out the furniture from the premises. It is enough to move it away from the walls and clean the frame attachment points from irregularities and wallpaper. All the subtleties will be explained to you by the measurer, with whom you will discuss the texture, color, as well as the design of the ceiling. In this case, a contract is drawn up and a partial payment is made. On the appointed day, a team of company specialists will install a stretch ceiling.
A characteristic and important feature of stretch ceilings is that no cracks form on them. The Mos Siling company provides a 12-year warranty for its designs, but if the requirements for the care of the canvases are met, the service life is up to 50 years. Therefore, by installing tension structures from the Mos Sealing company in your apartment, you will forget about repairs and all the troubles and inconveniences that are associated with it for a long time..
