Why is not popular with the Americans suspended ceiling
But in America all the way around. Fascinated by the healthy way of life (while absorbing an incredible amount of fast food) Americans are reluctant to establish in their own homes tensioning cover.
What Americans choose
Residents of another continent prefer to use the old methods of finishing ceilings - painting or whitewashing. In the United States fashionable to use decorative plaster in the manner of "coat", and wallpaper They remain in the trend.
Wealthy house trim with more expensive materials.
Important! Stretch ceilings, which would cost more than the usual paint and wallpaper, but much cheaper than natural wood, the ocean simply had no place.
The ability to install - there is!
It is believed that in America there is a law prohibiting the use of stretch film. But a closer examination regulations refutes this. Sometimes they are still set.
In the United States there are specialized companies for installation of ceiling, that's just the demand for their product is very limited.
Rejection reason
Two reasons can be essential.
Price
The cost of such ceilings in the US is not very democratic.
Reference. Plaster for the public sector in the US was much more viable option.
The high price of such an option ceiling clearance caused by two factors.
- Most of the components for suspended ceilings are delivered to America from other countries. This increases their cost.
- road is license of the coating installation.
The myth about the harmfulness
Stops Americans and common myth about the harmfulness of such ceilings. Therefore, they are in no hurry to take advantage of them. Although imitation wood or stone panels impregnated with all kinds of harmful chemical elements used readily.
Just like it did not happen in the United States with tension ceilings…
More like an angry comment rather than an article. Just to throw mud at the US
I do not like it, the ceiling does not breathe ...
Yeah, and the concrete slab processed putty, plaster and paint directly breathes all the light so you can hear all the tenants)
And I liked the article, told informative and accessible language.
The author has studied the topic of suspended ceilings and undertook to write an article. In the US, these ceilings are not popular because of their structure, both suburban and urban high-rise, have both generally do not carry the walls of plywood, boards, OSB, MDF and other materials that are not bending endurance. Stretch ceiling PVC film after cooling gives a load to the surface to which it is attached prints, the order of 70-100 kg per meter. In other words such ceilings can bend American wall. And now look, from which the walls are made in Russia? Reinforced concrete, foam concrete, brick, expanded clay, plaster, etc. pazogrebnya Bend these walls, no suspended ceiling is not. And that is why we are so popular, and in America they can simply bend the wall.
nothing
In fact, the Americans have one criterion - the price. If you can buy or make cheaper - an American would. A tensile force, the load on the frame of a house and other physics - it's such nonsense, which the average American had never will bother.
Those who think about health, never make the house ceilings, not put laminate not put plastic window - all costs cheaper than natural materials, but it is a direct and fastest way to raku- t.k.kvartira not breathing, plus harmful fumes from the plastic. Better the longer and more expensive, but reliable!
Pay attention to the original author! It's just hidden advertising. If not convinced, take a look at the composition of the materials used in the manufacture of the tension coating. Basic knowledge of chemistry, which give in high school is enough for a categorical rejection of the installation.
It is those US residents who live under bridges or in tents (wagons) are due?
Bullshit. Stretch ceilings are not common in the United States because of fire codes (analogue rosiyskih SNIP), placement in karkasnike fully be sewn drywall (walls and ceilings). Most of the United States - one, two-story, that is, it is all karkasniki. Therefore why for plasterboard ceilings and more tension to stretch. Just shpaklyuyut drywall and paint and everything.
The myth of the hazard is not a myth. As it is correctly written in the commentary above suspended ceilings, laminate flooring, new windows, vinyl wallpaper made of flat thermos filled with formaldehyde.
I agree that all of the above is not a super eco-friendly. But specifically with the suspended ceilings in the US, it is not the main argument for the rejection of them. In addition, there is a very common color of the interior, and it is also not a super environment. Completely environmentally friendly may be the interior of nekleenoy wood, and it is virtually impossible in the modern world.
