Why you need ventilation within suspended ceiling

Stretch ceilings have become very popular. They can be seen in nearly half of homes where recently redone. Not coincidentally homeowners choose this is practical and fairly economical solution. Stretch fabric is perfectly hides all the irregularities of the main ceiling, does not require complicated preparatory work before installation, the installation is very fast. All this attracts the consumer, however, for the sake of justice it is necessary to tell and about problems that may arise from the happy owners of suspended ceilings.

The first problem is associated with damp. It so happens that after a short time after the appearance in the house of a new suspended ceiling, the household is faced with the unpleasant odor of mold. Not all at once understand that it's coming from under the stretched ceiling panels.





The mechanism of appearance of fungi and mold under the film is very simple. The space between the suspended ceiling and the rough is just perfect for microbial growth. The air inside this space is not moving, but is in a heated state due to rising from below the warm masses. The surface of the slab is typically cooler air. Therefore, it creates condensation. The moisture gradually accumulates and penetrates walls. Warm and damp feel great mold and fungi, which are slowly but surely moving after the moisture on the walls and ceiling.

Their appearance at home is very dangerous. An unpleasant smell is only part of the problem. Mold and fungi can cause living in the house of the people serious health problems. They may develop allergies or even asthma. The solution is very simple – install air vents in the ceiling. Only two elements on the diagonal of the cloth. It is important that the house was working natural ventilation, or the installation of intresets will be meaningless.

Another good solution is the use as a stretch ceiling is a special perforated film. It is completely covered in small holes that provide adequate ventilation Plenum space. This solution is best implemented at the stage of selecting the material for the ceiling, while the ventilation grille can be supplied and has operated covering. However, a perforated film choose infrequently because of its peculiar appearance.





The second problem, which you may receive from the owners of a stretch ceiling is thermal deformation of the film. In the heat of summer or in the winter when it is too hot batteries in some cases it is possible to notice that the film on the ceiling as if stretched and sagged. You may experience the opposite effect. The canvas is "pulled" to the rough ceiling and ugly tight all internal communications.

The reason lies in the properties of the film. When heated, it increases in size and, accordingly, sags down. The problem can be solved by ensuring a stable temperature ceiling of the film. This can be done in two ways. The first installation of ventilation grilles in the panel or use perforated material. The second is to install air conditioning. The cold air will blow the film and not let it stretch.

Another reason why the film can catch up to the rough ceiling, and, conversely, to SAG, might be under a panel poorly sealed mechanical ventilation system. Even a slight depressurization of the connection elements or joints between them will lead to the formation in the space between the rough and the main ceiling area with abnormal pressure. It will definitely affect the condition of the film. In addition, ventilation equipment can be another source of condensate. Therefore, in the presence of such systems needs to perform special preparation before installation of stretch ceiling. Cracks and crevices on the walls and rough ceiling must be carefully repaired, and the ground is well warmed. In this case, the condensate subsequently installed equipment will not appear.





It becomes evident that the ventilation for suspended ceiling in many cases simply vital. And equip its actually not so difficult as it may seem. Specialists in the installation of ceilings will quickly and efficiently perform this job. The procedure resembles the execution of the holes for the lights and is already a stretched film.

The areas of contact of the diffuser or ventisette with a panel of the ceiling is glued to the so-called protective ring that protects the thin film from breaking during the installation process. After drying, glue the fabric inside details carefully removed to this place, installed a ventilation grate. Actually, this work can be considered completed.

Many do not want to equip the ventilation suspended ceiling, explaining that the lattice spoil its appearance. Maybe so, although the range of such items is very wide and you can pick up as decorative items and are completely invisible on the surface of the ceiling. But it's not the biggest drawback of the installation of ventilation. Suffering the tightness of the cloth, it will not be able to withstand a greater mass of water in case of flooding neighbors from above. However, what is worse — mold and dampness or the potential threat of flooding – to be addressed by the landlord. published
