Features of tension fabrics from Gline:
The SAROS DESIGN company began its activities in 1992, and 4 years later began supplying suspended ceilings from Europe. In 2000 we opened our own production. The production of decorative suspended ceilings is established in Moscow, Samara, Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Narva (Estonia), Kyiv (Ukraine), Stuttgart (Germany). This reduces order fulfillment times and helps control quality at all stages of product production. More than 20 welding machines, this is the company’s equipment fleet, produce suspended ceilings. Precision in cutting is ensured by production tables, which allow cutting a single canvas with an area of more than 100 square meters.
Each of the branches will provide printing on any surface (art ceilings) or applying full-color drawings to PVC film. Today the company provides a full range of services from production to installation of suspended ceilings. Orientation taken to wide range clients: from individuals to construction companies that deal with interior decoration. SAROS DESIGN is the only company that has developed a program that works on smartphones with Android and iOS to create drawings of suspended ceilings.
In Russia, popular producers of film for suspended ceilings are from France, Italy, Germany and China. We have compiled a selection of reputable companies that have certificates confirming environmental friendliness, safety and quality. Of course, premium options remain the best. They have a large number of colors and textures, environmental friendliness, the ability to withstand floods and not absorb dust.
Manufacturers from Europe do not have sheets wider than 3 meters, which means installation will only require seams. Only the French ClipsO has released a unique line up to 5 meters wide for seamless installation without a heat gun.
Below in the table are the most popular French suppliers of PVC film for suspended ceilings in Russia:
| Manufacturer | ClipsO (France-Switzerland) | Barrisol | Extenzo |
| Price, rub per sq. meter | 1200-1500 | 1500 | 2000 |
| Blade width, cm | Up to 510 | 200 | 130-200 |
| Thickness, mm | 0,15-0,18 | 0,17-0,18 | 0,15-0,2 |
| Range | There are acoustic, translucent options, and fabrics with antiseptic | 200 colors and 5 textures | 120 color options, textures such as suede, leather and metallic |
| Withstands water | Up to 120 l/sq.m. meter | ||
| Flaw | Cost, use of heat guns (except ClipsO) | ||
| Advantage | Extra wide canvases; they can be reused after flooding; installation is done in a convenient dry way using snap-clips; no need for plinth during installation | Can be reused, can create acoustic, light and perforated ceilings | Maintains room height (up to 3 cm clearance from the ceiling) and is very durable (tensile strength 150 kg/sq. cm) |
As you can see, the “French” ones can be reused after repair (removed and reinstalled), but the prices are steep. Russian consumers often choose French ceilings because of their suede-like texture.
Chinese manufacturers have wide canvases up to 5.5 meters, allowing the installation of ceilings without seams; they have different textures in their assortment (including acoustic options, printed films), as well as a budget price, up to 1000 rubles per sq. m. meter (usually 700-800 rubles).
Now most certified manufacturers from China supply good materials. The only supplier who does not rely on quality is Longway film for suspended ceilings. They have low price, but a large percentage of defects.
Among the popular Chinese manufacturers, it is worth highlighting MSD - it is the one that has received high praise in Europe and is the leader in sales in Russia.
MSD is a bona fide Chinese manufacturer of premium stretch ceilings. Their products are certified according to European standards. Due to the fact that the quality is high and the price is reasonable, MSD ceilings have become the sales leader among film manufacturers in Russia.
The plant confirmed its quality by receiving certificates for its production of film for suspended ceilings:
By the way, certification for sale in Russia is not required by law, but the manufacturer passed it anyway, which is only a plus for its reputation.
Important! Many Russians want European quality, but fall for fakes: for 1000 rubles for linear meter They are sold Chinese ceiling film of unknown manufacture. Therefore, if you cannot find a reliable supplier, then it is better to give preference to MSD - it will be China, but tested and certified in Europe.
White MSD (MSD) film for suspended ceilings is closer to blue in shade. The raw materials for the film are produced in Taiwan and China with the environmentally friendly plasticizer DOFT and do not contain chalk. It is odorless, fireproof and can suppress noise (1 m² ≥ 2500). Durable: withstands soldering and does not tear along the seam.
Below in the table - specifications MSD films.
German film for suspended ceilings is not the widest: most often up to 1.8 meters, sometimes 2.7 m. Lackfolie has matte and satin rulers up to 2 meters wide, and Pongs - up to 3.25 m.
Warning: in German films the width is 3.25 meters - this is the maximum! Anything wider is fake. Therefore, German ceilings are installed mainly with seams (without seams - rooms up to 8 square meters).
We have selected three popular German manufacturers in Russia: their films do not burn, are waterproof, environmentally friendly, in approximately one price category. The minimum lowering of the ceiling is 3 cm. Due to water resistance, the ceilings “breathe” less well, so the rooms need to be ventilated. But this reliably protects the repair from flooding by neighbors.
| Manufacturer country | Germany | ||
| Lackfolie (Czech Republic-Germany) | Renolit | Pongs ("parent" of Lackfolie) | |
| Price, rub/sq. meter | 900-1200 | 900-1200 | 1000-1200 |
| Blade width, cm | 130-180, matte and satin - 200 | 150-200 | 150-300 |
| Thickness, mm | 0,16-0,18 | 0,18-0,3 | 0,18 |
| Range | 5 textures and their combination, 150 colors | 200 colors and 5 textures. | 130 colors, textures - gloss and matte |
| Withstands water | 100 l/sq.meter | ||
| Flaw | They are almost always installed with seams; installation requires heating with heat guns. | ||
| Advantage | Suitable even for swimming pools and saunas, as they are not afraid of fungus and mold (with antiseptic coating) | They do not crack from heat, so they can be installed in the kitchen. | The material is finely cellular, therefore smooth. There is an “alupigment” texture - it glows when the light is turned on. |
Italian stretch fabrics are famous for their aesthetics and often belong to the elite class. Despite the European standard, they are also produced in wide versions. For example, Cerutti refers to seamless ceilings up to 5 meters wide - installed using the “art canvas stretching” method.
If you want European quality and seamless installation, then Italian canvases will give you this opportunity. In Russia, in addition to Cherutti ST, the manufacturer Malpensa is also popular.
| Manufacturer country | Italy | |
| Cherutti ST | Malpensa S.R.L. | |
| Price, rub/sq. meter | From 1500 | 500-1500 |
| Blade width, cm | 200-500 | 220 |
| Thickness, mm | 0,18 | 0,13-0,22 |
| Range | Canvases of pastel, muted colors. Color printing with the most complex designs. There are acoustic options. | 130 colors, texture - satin, glossy and matte. |
| Withstands water | 100 l/sq. meter | |
| Flaw | The plant operates by pre-order only. Expensive. | There are 3 invoices in total. |
| Advantage | Does not sag thanks to special technology. Waterproof due to double impregnation with polyurethane and varnish - suitable for swimming pools. Acceptable for use in children's and medical institutions. | Simple options are quite affordable. Ideal ceilings for a classic interior. |
If you want quality, but more a budget option, then you should take a closer look at MSD, Malpensa, Lackfolie or Renolit. For those who need to protect the ceiling from harsh operating conditions ( high humidity, constant threat of flooding) or you want special interior solutions, you can order Cherutti or Extenzo.
Below are reviews of MSD, Cerutti and Barissol films for suspended ceilings.
Let's take a closer look at such a topic as manufacturers of suspended ceilings. There are many existing products for arranging tension ceiling structures indisputably indicates an increase in competition between manufacturers of PVC film and fabric sheets for tension coverings, and which one is better and more reliable can only be answered by taking a closer look at the products offered by the companies. To compile the most complete picture about a given product and its manufacturer, it takes more than one day spent in searches, clarifications and consultations. In this article we will only try to provide some information guidelines indicating what a quality product for the manufacture of hinged surfaces should be different from and which companies have already confirmed their reliability over time and the quality of their products. This is necessary because the most common concern when selecting suspended ceilings There are questions about the names of companies, which one is better and which fabric is still worth choosing?
The birthplace of modern suspended ceilings is considered to be Western Europe, where in the 60s of the last century they became most widespread. Although similar designs using fabrics were used in Ancient Rome and medieval Armenia, tension structures acquired their modern appearance relatively recently. Europe to this day deservedly remains a trendsetter for suspended coverings, constantly improving technology and material quality.
Functional qualities and reliability modern designs are determined by a number of significant factors:
Manufacturers of suspended ceilings from Germany, Belgium, Italy and of course France have established themselves very well in the domestic market of suspended ceilings. Products offered by suppliers from these countries are not only of excellent quality, but also high price. If the main priority is the desire not to surprise someone with the high cost of the interior, but with its neatness, then inexpensive products for surfaces are also quite suitable made in China, with which, perhaps, there is no one to compete with in terms of price. Another powerful and constantly growing group of tension fabric manufacturers is represented by domestic factories and enterprises located in neighboring countries: Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Belarus.
Experience of European companies with big story is especially valuable because they use the latest scientific developments in the field of polymer chemistry and the latest technical advances.
You can write a lot and different things about manufacturers of tension coverings from China, but our goal is to understand how acceptable the product is. In most cases, there is a set of typical difficulties with a similar product. For example, there may be no warranty documents confirming that the fabric is manufactured in accordance with environmental safety requirements and does not pose a threat to consumer health. Then the buyer can only count on being lucky.
Given the multiple presence of low-quality goods from China, it must be said that there are many relatively inexpensive, in comparison with European, products from the Middle Kingdom, distinguished by remarkable characteristics. You just need to make sure that they are not made underground factory and they have all the necessary documents.
Dishonest traders, taking advantage of the ignorance of buyers, pass off cheap Chinese-made canvases as goods from Europe. They are equipped with frame systems manufactured in Europe. The consumer pays for such a “mix” as if it were a first-class coating, suspecting absolutely nothing about fraudulent scheme. In case of problems, the eminent European manufacturer turns out to be the last resort. Although, if all certification documents had been checked when making a purchase, such deception might have been avoided.
On a note: It is useful to remember that when purchasing a suspended ceiling and ordering its installation, it is better to cooperate with the same organization, because then it will be easier to resolve all technical issues.
Today, domestic manufacturers of suspended ceilings have significantly increased the quality level of the final product. We will especially highlight the quality frame elements. The use of high-quality raw materials delivered from Europe helped to achieve this.
It should be noted that the production of suspended ceilings and the production of PVC sheets are completely different things. PVC film is produced at large chemical industry enterprises in large rolls with a width from 1.8 m to 5.0 m, a thickness from 0.12 mm to 0.34 mm and various technical characteristics.
The production of stretch ceilings for installation is carried out at smaller enterprises by cutting ready-made canvases and soldering a harpoon to it. (stages of manufacturing a stretch ceiling). This stretch ceiling preparation scheme applies only to the harpoon installation system; this is not required for all other systems.
It would seem, well, how difficult could it be to make PVC films? It seems that everything is simple - mix polyvinyl chloride granules with thermal and UV stabilizers, add pigment, plasticizer, various additives, heat until a homogeneous plastic mass is formed and roll out. The result will be the film necessary for the manufacture of suspended ceilings.
Most often, consumers choose film made in Germany and France, since this material is very high level quality. But Germany, France and Russia produce canvases of small width (Chinese manufacturers already make canvases up to 5.0m wide). European companies are in no hurry to rebuild their production lines due to the fact that large-width fabrics will cost more due to the fact that they are more difficult not only to manufacture, but also to transport.
The production of film for suspended ceilings has its own subtleties, neglect of which leads to the appearance of various defects. Film for suspended ceilings, the manufacturer of which evades careful adherence to technology, has a specific odor, is prone to fire and has a low degree of shrinkage. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
The listed disadvantages are associated with the use of raw materials. The most important and ultimately fatal defects are associated with rolling out the resulting paste to a film state. The fact is that rolling is a rather capital-intensive process, since it is carried out in expensive machines - calenders, the main working element of which is special rolling rolls. Before turning into a film web, the hot mass passes through a system of pairs of rolls. The rollers of the first pair are “responsible” for the width and thickness of the film, and the subsequent ones give it the corresponding properties. The texture, texture and uniformity of film thickness depend on the quality of adjustment of the rollers of the last two pairs. If the rolls are poorly adjusted or deformed, then obtaining a tensile film becomes almost impossible.
In isolated cases, manufacturers are helped by some tricks - for example, an increased dose of plasticizer and vinyl resin pre-introduced into the paste. Naturally, it is impossible to guarantee quality stability from roll to roll with this approach. This begs the question - is it really difficult for manufacturers to adjust the rolls once and for all, changing them as they wear out, when necessary?
A conscientious manufacturer of film for suspended ceilings uses calenders exclusively for the production of ceiling film. He does not have to constantly readjust the rolls in order to produce banner fabric, linoleum, wallpaper, and much more, including artificial leather, on the same machine. This method most likely practiced by the Kazan plant artificial leather producing at the same time various products, as a result of which the quality, let’s say, is not at a high level.
Much depends on the quality of the input raw materials and the balance of the components, but it is the nature of the calender’s operation that has a decisive influence on the quality of the film. There is one more important point. There are manufacturers who reduce the cost of production, excluding one important stage- training process of heated mass, necessary to remove coarse particles from it, which subsequently affect the smoothness and strength of the film. Only manufacturers who have the advantages of large-scale production can achieve selling prices that are attractive to the market and at the same time observe all the subtleties of film production technology.
Due to the high popularity of suspended ceilings, many companies today manufacture them. Materials from different manufacturers may differ significantly in quality, appearance, and performance properties. How not to get confused in all this variety and truly buy good canvas without unnecessary overpayments?
