PVC stretch ceilings
PVC stretch ceilings
PVC stretch ceilings, a type of stretch ceiling, are made from a high-quality polyvinyl chloride (PVC) film. This material is known for its durability and versatility and is used in a variety of applications. PVC stretch ceilings are particularly valued for their water-repellent properties and high resistance to moisture. This makes them an ideal choice for humid environments such as bathrooms and kitchens.
Material properties of PVC stretch ceilings:
- Durability and resistance: PVC is a hard-wearing material that is characterized by its robustness. It is resistant to mold and moisture, which makes it an excellent option for rooms with high humidity.
- Flexibility and adaptability: The PVC material is elastic and can be stretched when exposed to heat. This property makes it easy to adapt to different room shapes and sizes. The stretch ceilings can be installed over existing ceiling structures, concealing unevenness and unsightly elements.
- Surface variety: PVC stretch ceilings are available in a variety of surface textures, including high-gloss, matt and satin finishes. This variety makes it possible to adapt the design of the ceiling to the style of the room and achieve specific aesthetic effects. A high-gloss finish, for example, can make the room appear brighter and larger, while a matt finish creates a subtle, elegant look.
- Easy care: Another advantage of PVC is its ease of care. The smooth surface is easy to clean; a damp cloth and mild detergent are usually all that is needed to remove dust and dirt. This makes PVC stretch ceilings particularly attractive for areas that need to be cleaned regularly, such as kitchens and bathrooms.
- Color and design options: PVC stretch ceilings offer a wide range of colors and designs. There is the option to customize the ceilings, e.g. with photo prints or special patterns, allowing for a personalized and unique room design.

Textile stretch ceilings: properties and advantages

- Lightness and flexibility: textile stretch ceilings are light and easy to handle. The material can be easily adapted to different room shapes, which is particularly useful for complex or irregular ceiling structures. This flexibility enables creative and individual room design.

This makes textile stretch ceilings particularly suitable for rooms where good acoustics are important, such as conference rooms, theaters or living rooms.
- Versatility in design and surface: textile stretch ceilings offer a wide range of surface textures and colors. You can choose from matt or translucent versions. Translucent stretch fabric ceilings allow for an interesting lighting design, as the light is gently diffused through the fabric, creating even lighting. This property is ideal for atmospheric interior design.
- Easy-care and durable: Fabric blankets are easy-care and hard-wearing. They can be easily cleaned if necessary by gently wiping them down. The polyurethane coating ensures that they are water-repellent and therefore resistant to moisture and soiling.
- Safety and environmental friendliness: Most fabric ceilings are flame-retardant and meet the applicable fire safety requirements. The polyester fabric used is often recyclable and environmentally friendly, making it a sustainable choice.
Areas of application and advantages

Matt stretch ceilings: elegance and restraint in room design
Matt stretch ceilings are a popular choice for those who prefer a subtle and elegant room design. Compared to their glossy counterparts, matt surfaces give a room a calm and understated aesthetic. Matt lacquered stretch ceilings offer a wide range of design options that can be both modern and classic.
Color choice: Matt or glossy?
When deciding between matt or glossy, the desired effect is often the main consideration. Matt stretch ceilings reflect less light, creating soft and even lighting. This is particularly beneficial in rooms that require a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. In contrast, glossy surfaces can reflect light and visually enlarge the room. The question of whether paint should be matt or glossy therefore depends on specific needs and preferences.
Tiles: Matt or gloss? This decision is similar to ceiling surfaces. Matt tiles offer a subtle elegance and are less prone to visible stains and fingerprints, while glossy tiles create a modern, polished look. However, if you have a glossy surface and prefer a matte finish, there are methods to make glossy tiles matte or to make a glossy surface matte.
Applications and customizations
Not only ceilings, but also furniture and walls can be designed in matt or glossy finishes. Sometimes it may be necessary to make a matt color glossy or make matt furniture glossy to match the rest of the room. Similarly, you can choose between glossy or matt wall paint for walls. While glossy wall colors provide a reflective, bright environment, matte wall colors offer a calmer and less intense atmosphere.
Silk gloss and silk matt
Another finish that is often used in interior design is semi-gloss or satin. These finishes offer a blend of matte and gloss, giving them a subtle sheen that is not as intense as high gloss finishes. Semi-gloss vs gloss is a common consideration, as semi-gloss is often seen as more versatile and easier to maintain.
Practical considerations
When selecting materials and surfaces for stretch ceilings and other design elements, it is also important to consider the practical aspects. White stretch ceilings in matt or gloss can show dust and dirt to varying degrees depending on the surface. Matt surfaces are generally easier to maintain as they are less susceptible to fingerprints and water marks.
In today's interior design, matt and glossy surfaces are often a question of personal taste and the desired feel of the room. Matt stretch ceilings offer a stylish, understated option that is versatile and works well in both modern and classic interiors.
In summary, the choice between matt and gloss depends largely on the desired ambience and practical requirements. Matt stretch ceilings offer a timeless elegance that can be enhanced by choosing the right color and surface combinations.

Mirrored ceilings
Mirrored ceilings are an innovative solution for visually expanding rooms and giving them a luxurious atmosphere. They consist of a special mirror surface that is almost 100% reflective, creating a true mirror effect. These ceilings are particularly suitable for areas where traditional mirrors would be difficult to install, such as in large rooms or in inaccessible places.
An outstanding feature of mirror ceilings is their lightness compared to conventional glass mirrors. Flexmirror , for example, offers mirror ceilings that consist of a highly reflective film on a lightweight aluminum frame. These are not only easier to install, but also more robust and less prone to breakage or damage. Another advantage is that these mirror covers can be customized in different shapes and sizes to meet specific design requirements.
Mirrored ceilings have a wide range of applications: they can be used in luxury hotels, modern homes, theaters and museums to create impressive visual effects. Their reflective properties help to make rooms appear brighter and larger, while providing a stylish and modern aesthetic. Especially in commercial environments, they can serve as design elements to highlight products or architectural features.
