Glossy stretch ceilings: pros and cons

When choosing the material for the finish of the ceiling, a large number of questions inevitably arise. If you decide that its coverage will be stretched, then the first of them becomes: what kind of texture to choose? Today we will consider the main pros and cons of glossy stretch ceilings .

pros

The great advantage of a glossy stretch ceiling is that it reflects objects located in the room. Thus, the space expansion effect is achieved and the room starts to look bigger and higher. That is why a glossy coating will be an ideal solution for low or small rooms, where you need to visually increase the size of the room.

Another undeniable advantage of this ceiling is its ability to use unusual lighting designs. Glossy ceiling can be made translucent and put behind it fluorescent lamps that will create just a magical effect. Also with this ceiling you can use more powerful lamps than with matte.

Finally, it is worth noting the huge palette of such ceilings. You can choose almost any color and hue, while for a matte version the choice is much more limited.

Minuses

The main disadvantage is the care of the stretch glossy ceiling. The fact is that, unlike the matte design, on which even the dust practically does not settle, on the glossy surface any pollution is clearly visible, but getting rid of it can be a difficult task, as there are stains on the glossy ceiling. To clean such a ceiling coating, it is recommended that you even invite a specialist with the necessary skills and special tools. Other disadvantages include a fairly high cost, as well as the need to install only in a warm room.
