Options for finishing the ceiling on the loggia
There are several types of balcony finishing.
Stretch ceiling
PVC film sheets are very sensitive to low temperatures, they lose their elasticity and become brittle. Therefore, these models should not be used on unheated loggias. Fabric products impregnated with polyurethane are not afraid of low temperatures and are perfect for unheated balconies.
Stretch French models are characterized by quick installation, hide various defects and unevenness on the ceiling. They have a long service life, are environmentally friendly, easy to care for, some types are resistant to deformation and temperature changes. The disadvantages include the fact that they are prone to damage and steal the height of the room.
