Ceiling decoration on the balcony or loggia: types of materials, color, design, lighting

Options for finishing the ceiling on the loggia

There are several types of balcony finishes.

Stretch ceiling

Cloths made of PVC film are very sensitive to low temperature, they lose their elasticity and become brittle. Therefore, these models should not be used on unheated loggias. Fabrics impregnated with polyurethane are not afraid of low temperature and are perfect for balconies without heating.

Stretch French models are quick to install, hide various defects and bumps on the ceiling. They have a long service life, environmentally friendly, easy to care for, some types are resistant to deformation and temperature changes. Among the disadvantages, we can distinguish that they are prone to damage and conceal the height of the room.
