Stretch ceilings are extremely popular nowadays. Many install them because they are aesthetic and durable. However, even such a design may sometimes require repair for some reason. In the event that the damage is small, you can try to fix it yourself.
Let's say this situation: you brought furniture into the apartment and accidentally damaged the stretch ceiling. Repair in this case, most likely, will consist in sealing the hole. First of all, it must be sealed with tape so that it does not diverge. Next, you can try to apply a patch. To do this, a piece of suitable size is cut out of a film or fabric of the same color. Then the canvas is carefully removed from the frame on one side. You will also need some suitable glue. The patch is installed on the back of the canvas and pressed tightly. After that, it remains only to fix it in place.
Stretch ceiling, repair of which in most cases is simple, can also stretch. This happens when the apartment is flooded by neighbors from above. The canvas holds water and it can be slowly drained without flooding the room. However, this, of course, affects the film. In this case, the room is pre-prepared. It is best to remove indoor plants from it and drive out pets. It's also a good idea to remove any small items that might spoil.
After that, the floor is covered with cloth or cardboard, and the door is closed. Of the tools in this case, you will need a building hair dryer. With it, the surface of the ceiling must be warmed up. In addition, it is worth tightening the canvas around the perimeter. Most likely, after that the problem will be fixed. You will get a smooth stretch ceiling. Repairs will have to be done a little differently if the water was dirty. In this case, you will have to remove the canvas completely and wash it using suitable detergents. Then it is pulled back onto the frame. As you can see, the problem is solved quite simply.
Separately, it is worth mentioning such a design as a fabric stretch ceiling. Repairing it can be a little more difficult. First, it will need to be thoroughly dried. The second thing that will have to be done for sure is to correct the color. To do this, you can use acrylic dye. It is evenly and gently applied to the surface of the ceiling with a roller.
Another fairly common problem is the melting of the film in the area of the lamps. In this case, it is best to close the damaged area with a special metal ring,in harmony with the lamp. But sometimes it turns out that the width of the ring is not enough to hide the damaged part. In this case, there will be only one way out - contact the specialists who will repair the stretch ceilings for you. The price for this service depends on the area of the room, since you will have to change the canvas. Usually it is about 70% of the cost of the ceiling itself.
You will have to change the canvas even if the hole in it is too big.
