INTRODUCTION:
Stretch Ceiling Systems are decorative membranes that can be used in nearly any application. The membranes are most common for creating ceiling applications, but may also be used to create wall applications, ceiling and wall murals, suspended 3-D panels, or freestanding features. They can be given virtually any shape. The membrane is made with a special polyvinyl chloride base that is guaranteed to be cadmium-free. Stretch Ceiling Systems allow the user to achieve attractive and modern designs within a short period of time while avoiding the mess typically associated with ceiling construction. The assembly process takes place by stretching the ceiling membrane across an aluminum structure that has been fastened to the wall or frame at any desired height. The minimum reduction from the existing ceiling is only 1.4 (35 mm). Stretch Ceiling Systems are the only system that can be fastened directly to the walls and do not constitute additional load to the ceiling structure.
They lower interior areas that are too high. They cover defects of old ceilings and hide any installations placed above the ceiling. They offer protection to the area below from damage caused by water leakage. They provide long lasting ceiling solutions and structure protection for areas with high humidity. They have an attractive decorative finish and deliver perfection that cannot be achieved with traditional sheetrock, paints, or suspended ceiling tiles. Translucent membrane finish can cover entire ceiling and, when backlit, can offer beautifully diffused lighting. They enhance the acoustical properties of any room. They are a fantastic option for Clean Room applications as they have a smooth washable surface. They are available in an anti-bacterial and anti-fungal finish, are completely impermeable to air, and are Class A fire rated.

RESTAURANTS & BARS Stretch Ceiling Systems offer great design potential for use within restaurant and bar environments. The membrane material is flawless, anti-static, hygienic, non-toxic and has no texture; which makes it very difficult for dirt to adhere to the material. These qualities make the material nearly maintenance free. Stretch Ceiling Systems are installed as a finished product and therefore do not require further decoration. Once installed the system has a very long life span, and are covered by a 12 year guarantee. The acoustics within bars and restaurants are generally very poor. Stretch Ceilings boast extraordinary qualities as an acoustic material where reverberation times can be greatly reduced. (Refer to acoustic solution page). Stretch Ceiling Systems can be used for ceiling installations, wall murals, feature panels, or floating frames. The vast range of colors, finishes, and profiles will allow you to create unlimited shapes and designs. The sky is the limit; stretch your possibilities.
RETAIL & LEISURE Stretch Ceiling Systems allow you to create exceptional feature ceilings as well as conventional flat designs.

OFFICES Stretch Ceiling Systems are ideally suited for office and call center environments. Appropriate acoustic and lighting conditions are a fundamental necessity for comfort and productivity in the workplace. Stretch ceilings boast extraordinary acoustic qualities as it is a membrane and not a solid surface. This can be further improved by placing insulation behind the material. Stretch Ceiling Systems can be used throughout the office environment as a continuous monolithic ceiling or as suspended feature panels. Stretch Ceilings are often used to enhance executive offices and boardrooms, covering the conventional tile systems to provide a higher level of finish. Reception areas can be transformed using the large range of colors and finishes for both walls and ceilings. The material is designed to be as maintenance free as possible and is water impermeable should cleaning be required.

ACOUSTIC CEILINGS Stretch Ceiling Systems can act as a special resonance absorber, also called a micro-perforated sound absorber. The sound absorber is available in 250,000 perforations per square meter. This enables the user to apply an acoustic treatment to any area without compromising the cosmetic look of the project. The micro-perforations convert sound energy into heat energy. The friction of air in the holes is reinforced by the volume of air trapped between the material and the backing (wall or ceiling), which generates the impressive acoustic properties of the sound absorbers. The diameter of the perforation holes, the distance between the holes, the thickness of the panel, and the thickness of the air space between the panel and backing determine the sound absorption coefficient of a micro-perforated sound absorber. These four variables allow you to meet various room acoustic demands for speech, music, or general noise control for a more pleasant and comfortable environment. This system can be applied to all of Stretch Ceiling Systems colors and finishes.

SUSPENDED PANELS Stretch Ceiling Systems allow the creation of flat and 3-dimensional suspended floating panels. The lightweight aluminum profiles can be shaped to achieve any imaginable form. As the material is a tensioned membrane system, your desired shape will be flawlessly achieved once the membrane is stretched over the framed skeleton. The panels can range from simple squares, rectangles, circles, and ovals to complicated 3-dimensional theme sculptures. If you are considering a design element that incorporates suspended 3-dimensional shapes or floating ceiling features, we recommend you contact our sales department for design assistance. We can help with construction methods, product specifications, or ensuring the sustainability of the products intended working environment. The unique abilities of the membrane will allow you to create a wide range of ceiling fixtures, including individual light units or specialty room features. Your design possibilities are endless.

The Translucent Stretch Membrane offers a fantastic opportunity to create clean-and-cool or loud-and-colorful lighting effects. Light diffusion, backlighting, and front or rear projection are utilized to illuminate the membrane. Any type of lighting fixture can be used, although fluorescent and LED are most popular for creating unique lighting designs. When light bulbs need to be replaced, there are three options: 1. Service call - a technician will come out to remove and reinstall membrane. 2. Removable access panel - panel is designed with opening mechanism or system. 3. Suspended panel - designed with easy to reach light bulbs. For additional effect, the membrane can be digitally printed on or have vinyl decals applied to display corporate logos, images, or advertisements.

CEILING TILES
Can you imagine a standard grid ceiling with a range of vivid colors or with a high gloss reflection that virtually dissolve the ceiling? The Stretch Ceiling Tiles are designed to be installed in the standard 15/16 suspended 2x2 ceiling grid system. The tiles consist of a square 2x2 aluminum frame with Stretch Ceiling System membrane ultrasonically welded across the surface.
The tiles are available in matte, satin, metallic, high gloss, and translucent finishes. Additionally, there are over 100 colors to choose from. High Gloss ceiling tiles are highly popular in commercial settings with low ceiling clearance where the glossy reflection creates an illusion of a lifted ceiling. Translucent ceiling tiles are popular for applications where a ceiling needs to be backlit. Digital printing is available on the ceiling tiles; if you have a certain image, company logo, slogan, or picture that youd like to print on the ceiling tile, we can have it done with any of our Matte, Satin, or Translucent finishes.
