A lot of private houses, schools, offices, and other premises suffered tens of thousands of euro worth of damage as a result of burst water pipes during the winter holiday season.
OLMI could not prevent bursting of water pipes, but stretch ceilings could prevent the rest of the damage caused by collapsed ceilings and water flood.
OLMI stretch ceilings can easily hold more than 25 gallons of water, and once the water is removed the ceiling will return to its original shape.
In addition, it would be much easier to access those pipes located over stretch ceiling systems rather than pipes located over plaster board ceilings.
And of course, the other advantage of OLMI stretch ceilings is its beautiful design.
What is a stretch ceiling system?
A stretch ceiling is a suspended ceiling system consisting of two basic components – a perimeter profile and a lightweight membrane which stretches and clips into the track. In addition to ceilings, the system may also be used to create wall applications, ceiling and wall murals, suspended 3-D panels, or freestanding features. They can be given virtually any shape. Stretch ceiling systems allow the incorporation of all types of light fixtures, grilles, sprinklers, etc.
The track enables curves, domes, vaults, and many other shapes to be formed, which are particularly impressive. The stretch ceiling is mounted by trained installers who specialise in this kind of ceiling installation.
OLMI can offer you a stretch ceiling in many different colours and finishes including matt, satin, lacquered (reflective ), perforated, suede, metallic, and translucent (for light diffusion, backlighting, projection ). Effects can be produced with colour changing LED lights.
Recessed lights, chandeliers, track lighting, and fibre optics can easily be incorporated with any of the colours and finishes.
The stretch ceiling can be formed into three-dimensional shapes, suspended from cables, installed wall to wall, or placed as ceiling panels.
It can be printed or painted for additional effects, is entirely waterproof, washable, and is maintenance free, hygienic, and non toxic, antistatic, and non-allergic. Installation can be carried out in a few hours and does not require the removal of furniture. The ceiling can be quickly removed and reinstalled with no mess.
The unique stretch ceiling system offers a fantastic opportunity and the freedom for an added dimension in design potential. The versatile profile system allows the ceiling to be installed as a simplistic flat ceiling or in varying forms such as pitched, curved, vaulted, domed, 3-D, or circular. This distinctive system offers a palette of colours, choice of texture, and has the ability to create clean and cool or loud and colourful ceiling features and lighting effects.
Finishes
Lacquered finish is the most popular option for kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom ceilings, as it makes any room appear larger by creating a perception that the roof is higher. Suede finish is widely popular for home office and bedroom ceilings. Translucent ceiling is common for areas where the entire ceiling should be backlit. Satin and matt finishes are most suitable for classic living and dining room ceilings. Metallic and perforated finishes for high tech design can be used within your home or apartment ceilings to achieve special effects.
Benefits
Individual design and colour scheme, it improves the quality of thermal and sound insulation, hides water stains on the ceiling or walls, never cracks, is easy to clean, protects your home or apartment interior from water damage, and is quick and clean installation without mess and dirt in your premises.
