Stretch Ceiling Technological Process
Stretch ceilings are manufactured from a PVC film. Installation is achieved by first fixing a special PVC profile around the room, then heating the ceiling up to 50 degrees Celsius and stretching the film and finally inserting the PVC film into the profile’s locking channel. The cooling film then shrinks to provide a perfect ceiling. Behind the stretch ceiling it is possible to hide wires, ventilation systems and more. On the surface of the ceiling you can install lamps, smoke detectors, ventilation openings etc.
So, how it actually, works?
After your call and leaving an order for measuring the premises, we develop a schedule and agree on the day of the visit with you.
Then our measurer went to your address and does all the necessary procedures for measuring your premises.
The accuracy of measurements is a necessary condition for a quality installation. A person without skills, experience and special equipment is unlikely to be able to measure all necessary parameters of your rooms. And there is no need for this, Skyline Stretch Ceiling is offer this fee such a service for free.
After measuring, discussing the design and agreeing on all the details, for a convenience of the client, you will be asked to sign a contract for the installation of a stretch ceiling. (The measurer has all documents which is necessary for this, up to accepting downpayments)
After the conclusion of the contract and the prepayment by the client, a part of the work that is invisible to the client, will follows.
Below, we show a stages of production of the Stretch Ceiling.

Stages of installation of stretch ceilings
The process of a Stretch ceiling installation is the most final procedure that takes a minimum of time. Since the film is already cut to fit your room, it does not need to be trimmed or corrected.

On average, the installation of a stretch ceiling in a square or rectangular room of 15-20 m2 takes around a 6-8 hours. If you want to install several Pinlights, keep in mind that installation an each of it will increase the installation time of the stretch ceiling by about 40 minutes.
In rooms with high (above 3 meters) ceilings, works can go a little slower. In such rooms, the installation time increases by about 4 hours. Installation of complex multi-level constructions requires more skill and time, its installation in a room of 15-20 m2 can require 2-3 days for the installation. Stretch ceiling is easy to install, but nevertheless, its installation is better to entrust to the professionals, because this work has so many important nuances on all stages. |

Before installation requirements
- We also ask for understanding and proportionate part of the client's side in preparing the premises for the installation of stretch ceilings. Our requirements is minimal and simple. It will simplify our work and help to make an your ceiling with high-quality and beautiful in the shortest possible time.
This is list of necessary things what should be prepared before our team arrived on the site.
1. Before date, when an installation crew will visits to the site, in the premises where it is planned to install a stretch ceilings, we recommend to complete all works, such as plastering, wallpapering, ventilation, air conditioning, electrical wiring and tile installation.
2. It is an extremely important for the client to inform the installers about an any wiring or pipes inside the walls (where they are laid and at what specific levels), ventilation systems and other hidden communications that ceiling / wall installation specialists cannot know.
3. The mounting elements for equipment installed on the stretch ceiling should be installed before installers visit, at the stretch ceiling level, taking into account the percentage of sagging ceiling in the middle.
4. The shape and perimeter of the room after the measurements should be made should remain unchanged. The client has the right to make changes to the project until the initial payment is made. Because after paying the down payment, the process of preparing materials and films is started, which is cut according to previously provided measurements and drawings.
5. The number, location and configuration (type) of lighting fixtures on the ceiling / wall should be pre-coordinated and planned with our installation team or our technical support service at the time you select the design.
6. Walls (ceilings) where the stretch ceiling should be fixed, should be finished, intact, durable and strong. If weak, not durable coatings (Gypsum or Hardiflex) are used at the site, then such structures should be reinforced with plywood (1 cm thickness) from the inside at the intended level of the stretch ceiling.
7. In order to avoid any damage and harm to any wall decoration items, electronic devices, plastic objects and sharp objects.
Pets, vulnerable objects and plants must also be removed or protected from damage and temperature.
This procedure is necessary because the air in the room will be quite hot during installation.
8. For furniture or items that are not possible to carry out of the room, use a protective cover for furniture.
Cover the floor with cardboard or any other durable material.
9. The room must be reliably insulated from wind, animals and birds entering the internal cavities of the stretch ceiling through the attic, slab or holes in the walls.
