FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • What exactly is the Stretch Ceiling?
    It’s a thin membrane of PVC flexible and malleable which can be stretched when warmed up. This stretching feature gives its name. During the installation process it is heated up with an electric or gas heater and it is pulled and fixed onto a frame fastened on the walls. So it isn’t fitted on the structural ceiling, but rather anywhere from 5cm below it.
  • Will this thin membrane sag after I install it?
    Don’t let yourself drawn into wondering whether a thin layer of membrane can really remain stretched and flat throughout the years. It can and it will. We put our money on the line if this is not the case. In fact, we even conducted a demo of the product’s durability and flexibility: we constructed a wooden frame (3m x 3m) on which we fastened this thin membrane. After installation we had a fully grown-up person step on it with their full weight and the membrane held the weight. After the adult stepped off the Stretch Ceiling, we re-heated it and it regained its flat initial form.
  • Why is this product such a big deal?
    People don’t generally think much about the ceiling until cracks or stains appear. Because ceilings are generally in the bland white style, seemingly there to conceal ugly wooden beams. But when cracks appear, a leak or stains show up, then it becomes visible and requires attention. And once repaired, falls into oblivion again. But what if this boring part of the building can be harnessed to enhance the space and give it ‘taste’, charm and style? Yes, that’s right. We’re not just on about people getting a new product in their homes or offices. It’s about more than this! It’s about the benefits people get when they open their eyes in the morning and the first thing they see is a nice ceiling perhaps in the image of a bright blue sky. Imagine seeing this first thing in the morning! Grumpiness gone just like that. How about looking up on a gloomy rainy day and seeing the image of sunlight piercing through the tree branches of a leafy meadow? Would this not lift anyone’s mood? Of course it would! Or, just imagine your kids waking up in the morning and seeing their favourite cartoon character printed on the ceiling, smiling at them as they wake up. Priceless feeling for the little ones, right? It’s more than just an innovative product. It’s about helping people rediscover their homes and enhance their lifestyles. That’s why we’re honoured to be able to serve our customers as they seek to live more comfortably in a better style. Our mission is to produce and install the best alternative products so that our customers can live and work in an awesome, comfortable and practical environment.
