The answer to many opponents of suspended ceilings
A comment
Information for those. Who believes that stretch PVC ceilings are harmful when they hear the word "plasticizer." This is a myth for little-informed people. The process of manufacturing high-quality ceilings begins with the extraction of oil, like most products around us. The Internet is full of details about it. Regarding health ... I will not deal with manufacturers' advertising, but I will say one thing !!! STRETCH CEILINGS ARE ALLOWED FOR INSTALLATION IN OPERATIONS !!! And that stretch ceilings are prohibited in Europe, it's a duck. It is enough to go to the websites of world manufacturers of suspended ceilings and see their masterpieces. Stations, Airports, Car dealerships, Cottages and Apartments, as well as child care facilities. But as for the plasticizers ... look what you are preparing ... TEFLON! The most harmful substance to the body. And the formaldehyde content in particleboard ... or plastic for your kitchen? Lord!

Just buy a quality product and not for 70 rubles a square meter. Most European manufacturers release their canvases far beyond 100 rubles, and count how much more you need to install it ... Bring, clear, weld a harpoon, and still a lot of manipulations. As a result, Eurocell, you will receive no less than 200 rubles (everything below this price is produced in PRC, and in most cases of poor quality, although PRC have high-quality fabrics) + cutting it. Here also add work on its installation. It seems that it’s expensive ... But no, it’s much cheaper than leveling, puttying, materials, time ... and even a bunch of nuances. One thing, trust the professionals. Installation companies countless, manufacturers can be counted on the fingers. Always ask for an original warranty certificate, as a rule, it comes with a stretch belt. Then YOU are protected! Good day to all! I hope I was useful to you. I am a PVC user, just like you ... but !!! In the past, the installer of the European PVC Ceilings.
pros
Quick installation, any form, the simplest care, protection against flooding by neighbors, beauty and safety, any colors and textures, from simple matte to suede. Ability to create 3D shapes. Easy to repair.
Minuses
He is afraid of sharp, very hot objects, steals height ... but a little min 2 cm (ceiling baguette) and 3.5 cm (wall baguette)

Do not care about your health!

I don’t know that everyone is completely installing suspended ceilings.Of course, if you like to breathe heavy metal ions, then I agree, but my personal opinion is that you should not rush to cheapness. It is not in vain that in Europe it is forbidden to install stretch ceilings together with plastic windows.

As for the smell, it appears after heating the plasticizer. At the same time, it is so caustic that it can absorb literally into all the objects that are in the room at that time. Just imagine how many plasticizers you have to inhale, it becomes scary, and from here come snot and tears during installation. And allergic reactions can easily cause such ceilings.
Personally, my opinion is that humanity has not yet come up with anything more useful and practical than soundly plastered ceilings. So, think 1000 times before installing suspended ceilings.
pros
Speed ​​of installation and price.
Minuses
Harmfulness, fragility of the material, not environmental friendliness
Term of use
half a year

In our time, living is harmful.
A comment
In my opinion, stretch ceilings are distinguished by their advantages: installation is quick, they are simple to use, durable, you do not need to spend extra money on cleaning products. And then if you go deeper, because they install everything in their plastic windows, pipes, laminate, linoleum and nothing bad happens. Nowadays, living is probably even harmful.

And if you are so worried about environmental friendliness, then fabric stretch ceilings will be the best option, only here you must definitely contact the manufacturers who 100% produce an ecological product, otherwise it will turn out that you overpay for some reason. When choosing such a ceiling there will be no terrible smell, and they will be installed without the help of guns. In my opinion there is nothing to worry about choosing a stretch ceiling, especially fabric.
pros
Price, installation, durability, operation, appearance, there are options for eco-products

A comment
When we chose which ceilings to make in the apartment (60 + sq. M.), We also considered the option of stretch PVC films. I was not embarrassed by the environmental friendliness of this option (there are two children in the family). When installing such a ceiling is heated to 65 degrees and, according to friends who recently installed such a ceiling in the corridor, there is a terrible stench. Then it disappears (2-3 days). While choosing, the child of those same friends began a severe allergy! They connected it with the ceiling, because more in the life of a child, neither of which has changed significantly.

I had to urgently dismantle this ceiling. We read the reviews, clarified the information ... It turned out that the PVC film contains hazardous substances (I already knew about it, but doubted it) - toluene, phenol and ethyl acetate. According to the manufacturers, their content is much lower than the permissible norm. Only when heated, they stand out unambiguously. What if a fire? It may be possible to get out of the fire alive, but you will breathe for sure. And after the story with our friends ... We immediately ordered drywall - more reliable! Only in the kitchen did a stretch ceiling, but fabric. Health is more expensive!

Of course, it is possible to have high-quality stretch ceilings, but where is the guarantee that the company that installs them will sell you the original and safe ceiling?
pros
it conceals defects in the ceiling well, it doesn’t look bad (but fabric tension and gypsum plasterboard ceilings have the same advantages)
Minuses
emits harmful substances (especially when heated), causes allergies
Term of use
less than a month
