Hatches in the stretch ceiling — an integral element that provides access to engineering communications hidden behind the ceiling fabric. In modern interiors, hatches have become a mandatory component for:
Unobstructed maintenance and repair of ventilation ducts and air conditioners.
Installation and maintenance of electrical equipment. Plumbing work of water and sewer systems.
Hatch for stretch ceiling. They fit perfectly into the interior, are practically invisible and do not violate the aesthetic integrity of the ceiling. This type of hatch has a hidden cover, which coincides with the main canvas of the ceiling, which makes it as inconspicuous as possible.
Installation of hatches in a stretch ceiling
Installation of hatches in a stretch ceiling requires compliance with certain rules to ensure their reliability and ease of use:
- Choosing the installation location. The hatch should be located in an easily accessible place to provide easy access to communications.
- Preparing the base. Before installing the hatch, it is necessary to prepare the base on which it will be fixed. This can be a frame of metal corners or other material that can withstand the weight of the hatch and maintain the tension of the ceiling.
- Accurate measurement and cutting of the opening. The dimensions of the hatch should exactly match the holes in the ceiling web. This will ensure that the hatch will fit snugly and prevent the material from sagging.
- Installation and fixing of the hatch. The process of installing the hatch in the stretch ceiling includes the following steps:
- Fixing the hatch to the profile. The hatch is put in place and fastened to the mounting bracket using fasteners. It is important that the fixing was reliable to exclude the possibility of sagging or displacement of the hatch.
- Installation of the stretch ceiling fabric. The stretch ceiling fabric is carefully stretched and fixed along the edges of the hatch, ensuring a tight fit and aesthetic appearance.
Types of joints between the hatch cover and the main ceiling
There are several ways of joining the manhole cover to the main ceiling:
- Backlit profile. The manhole cover is completely aligned with the ceiling fabric, making it virtually invisible. This joint requires a high degree of installation precision.
- Profile with illumination. The hatch cover is decorated with decorative elements (LED tape, diffusing tape), which emphasize the contour of the hatch, but at the same time make it part of the overall design!
Ease of use and appearance
Trapdoors for stretch ceilings are convenient in operation and irreplaceable in modern interiors for a number of reasons:
- Invisibility. Concealed hatches are practically invisible on the surface of the ceiling, which allows you to maintain the aesthetic integrity of the room.
- Absence of sagging. Hatches are mounted in such a way that they do not sag, preserving the even surface of the ceiling.
- Ease of opening. Modern models of hatches do not have handles and open with hidden mechanisms, which makes their use simple and convenient.
- Versatility. Hatches can be installed both on PVC and fabric stretch ceilings, which expands their use in different interiors.
- Individual orders. The possibility to manufacture hatches to order allows you to take into account all individual features and requirements of the client, which provides a perfect match to a particular project.
