Euro Harpoon

What is a Harpoon in stretch ceilings?

A harpoon is a special fastening element used when installing stretch ceilings, especially those with aluminum profiles. It is a thin plastic insert that is inserted into the edge of the ceiling and secured to a specially prepared plastic or aluminum frame.

The main functions of the harpoon:

• The harpoon allows you to securely fix the edge of the tension web in the profile, preventing it from slipping or deforming.
• Thanks to the harpoon fastening, the canvas can be stretched evenly around the entire perimeter, creating a flat surface.
• The harpoon hides the mounting location, creating a neat and finished look for the ceiling.

How does a harpoon differ from other attachment methods?

• Unlike clips or clamps, the harpoon provides a more even and neat facade side of the ceiling.
• It is used primarily in systems with metal profiles or panels with an already integrated harpoon.

Important to know:

• The harpoon is primarily for professional installation. Inserting it correctly is quite difficult for a non-professional.
• The type of harpoon and profile may vary depending on the manufacturer and type of stretch ceiling.
