There is a lot of buzz surrounding stretched ceilings these days. You can see these majestic looking ceilings in commercial buildings, halls, and auditoriums and marvelled at their beauty and elegance. It appears that the ceiling is suspended in the air without any support. However, these ceiling are very strong and never drop off because of their weight or any other reason. In fact, normal drywall ceilings can peel off and need restoration every 3-5 years but stretched ceilings are made to last very long. It is no surprise then that these beautiful and charming ceilings that require no maintenance are termed as ‘The pearl of the interiors’.
It is not magic but pure science behind stretched ceiling
If you have tried to figure out the magic behind lofting or suspended ceilings but do not know how it is created, here is the secret and the science behind it. A suspended ceiling has basically two components.
• The upper track which is mostly invisible and perimeter in shape
• A lightweight fabric that is stretched to serve as a membrane below this track
It is the upper track made of aluminium that holds the lower stretched fabric together. The stretched fabric is actually clipped on to the aluminium track. A stretched ceiling allows for fitting of light fixtures of all types to provide a stunning look and certain charm to it. Diffused or translucent lighting coming down from a stretched ceiling makes it look even more beautiful and provides a setting that is nothing less than royal in hotels and auditoriums.
It is mostly aluminium sheet that is used for making the semi concealed perimeter track for stretched ceilings.
These days however, PVC is one material that is gaining ascendency over aluminium because of its low cost and durability which is no less than aluminium.

Installation of a stretched ceiling is time saving rather than time consuming. From its looks, it is hard to even imagine that you could get a 150 square feet ceiling installed in just 5 hours’ time. On the other hand, an ordinary drywall ceiling takes 2 days for its installation and that too without painting. Painting takes another 3-4 days to be applied on this ceiling. So if you are in a hurry or do not want to call up labour to move furniture in your room, you are better off with stretched ceiling.
