1. Web type. Today on the market of finishing materials there are three types of canvases. The most affordable and popular is the PVC film. It is often used by owners of private houses and apartments for the design of kitchens, baths, bathrooms and some residential premises. It is more preferable to trim bedrooms and children's rooms with the help of eco-friendly satin sheets. In the overall premises, you can make a seamless ceiling using a polyester and polyurethane fabric. Only the price of this material is quite high.
2. Texture. Any suspended ceiling has its own texture. Opaque surfaces create imitation of the basis, with ideally equal layer of putty. This texture is best suited for spacious rooms with a classic interior. Modern style finishes imply the use of glossy stretch ceilings. Such canvases visually increase cramped rooms.
3. Colour. In different rooms, ceiling coverings with a certain color palette will look harmonious. The most popular is the white canvas.

4. Features of installation. The disadvantages of stretch ceilings experts include the fear of high temperature and sharp objects. During operation, mechanical damage rarely occurs, but at the installation stage it is quite simple to spoil an expensive canvas. Therefore, it is necessary to immediately determine the number and location of lamps, cornices and other interior elements. One more nuance is important to take into account at the design stage of the ceiling decoration - this is the gap between the base and the canvas. If you plan to put the built-in lights, you will have to sacrifice the height of the room.
