Thanks to a number of positive characteristics, this option can be an almost perfect solution for this room. But this design has universal features, which need to be taken to look and listen.
Features of stretch ceilings for the bathroom
Due to the increased humidity of the room, stretch ceilings in the bathroom should be, first of all, moisture resistant. What will be their appearance depends on the general interior and the area of the room. An excellent option for a small bathroom will be a single -level glossy canvas, which, due to its mirror surface, visually increase the height of the room. In a spacious bathroom, you can give free rein to design fantasies. Two will be appropriate here – and even three -level structures, as well as arches or dome, starry sky, sea waves, etc. D.

What stretch ceilings to install in the bathroom
The ceiling structures consist, as usual, of the frame and canvas, which can be made only of two materials: synthetic fabric impregnated with the composition of polystyrene, or from polyvinyl chloride film. To choose stretch ceilings suitable in all respects into the bathroom, you must correctly understand the structure of the canvas of each species.
The use of fabric canvases helps create seamless coatings. They are resistant to temperature drops, air through the air well. Fabric canvases do not turn yellow, they can be painted with acrylic paints. Installation of a fabric canvas does not require its preliminary heating and release of the room from furniture. But the fabric does not tolerate contact with water, it just starts to flow.
The most optimal option for “extreme” rooms will be the installation of PVC paintings. The polyvinyl chloride film does not collect condensate, resistant to high moisture, resistant to mold. PVC film provides complete safety when flooding. The elasticity and strength of the polyvinyl chloride film are its most important advantages. The disadvantages of the stretch ceiling in the bathroom are manifested in a more complex installation: gas equipment is used to warm up the canvas. PVC canvas is rather fragile with careless effects on it with cutting and prickly objects.

Comb (large volume parts are suitable for spacious rooms with high ceilings. In the case of a small bathroom, one can do the same – or by the strength with a two -level structure of stretch ceilings.
