Upstairs flood creates 3D ceiling (PICS)

englishrussia.com — In Russia suspended ceiling is not only a stylish element of the flat interior, it can simply save your dwelling from flood made by the careless neighbors living above. Like in this case the practice shows that it is able to gather and hold all the water. But just imagine you wake up one morning and your ceilings look like this!

  • bradcrc, on 10/10/2007, -1/+95if that's just paint holding it together, it'd make one hell of a good commercial for the paint.

  • drafhk, on 10/10/2007, -1/+83I want to poke a hole in it.
  • xpankrat, on 10/10/2007, -0/+77It's called "Stretch ceiling" or "French ceiling".

    An oversized piece of polymer film (Vynil) is attached to the frame that goes around the walls at the ceiling height. It is then heated with heat guns, which causes it to contract to its "operational" size and stretch snuggly across the frame. The result is a mindbogginly flat surface in a matter of minutes. Virtually any color or shininess. It also greatly simplifies installation of recessed lights and hiding electrical and other cabling.

    It's popular between interior designers for fancy-shmancy projects, because it creates very organic-looking surfaces if the frame is not flat.

    The technology is quite well established and very popular in Russia and probably Europe in general.
    Way less present in Americas, which likes their ceiling stucco'ed.
