Dismantling of stretch ceilings

Dismantling a stretch ceiling is a service that is quite in demand during major repairs, replacement of communications, reconstruction of the premises or re-installation.

Features of dismantling stretch ceilings depending on the type of fastening

The method of removing a stretch ceiling depends on how the structural elements were fixed. In general, the following options are distinguished:

• Wedge or bead installation system. In this case, the canvas is attached to the profile using special wedges or beads. As a result, the material is fixed in the grooves, being stretched and held securely. In this situation, it is important to carefully remove the fasteners beforehand so as not to damage the canvas.
• Damper system. It is characterized by the presence of specialized clamps, providing for the principle of depreciation when holding the canvas. This fastening system is usually used on complex ceiling configurations, and therefore removing the material requires maximum attention and accuracy.
• Harpoon system. The most common due to the reliability of the installation methods. The canvases are equipped with special locks that are installed around the entire perimeter.

Usually, work on dismantling a ceiling canvas installed using a harpoon method is carried out using a special tool - hooks. The canvas is first warmed up to improve its elasticity, after which the harpoon is carefully removed and all the material is released.

This process is a specialized task that must be performed in stages, following the technology. The general algorithm of actions that specialists usually follow is as follows:

• Assessment of the object - the ceiling is inspected to determine the type of material (PVC film, fabric, drywall) and the method of fastening.
• Preparation. The necessary tools and equipment are selected. Furniture is removed from the work area.
• Insulation of utilities. Communications and cables are disconnected. Lamps, chandeliers are removed, ventilation holes and other accessories mounted on the suspended ceiling are disconnected.
