The second option requires a professional approach. Properly installed plank will ensure the integrity and attractiveness of the design.

Stretch ceiling and sliding wardrobe - we combine correctly

Often, the stretch ceiling is attached first, and only then they try to install a cabinet under it, which is often fraught with damage to the film on the stretch ceiling and additional expenses.Fastening to a stretch ceiling should be done competently. The following combinations of designs are available:

• Installing the cabinet after a stretch ceiling. Since nothing can be attached to the film, the furniture is installed after it, and the lumen is hidden by a decorative element.

In any case, each of the options is good and guarantees an aesthetic result when the work is done correctly, see the photo. The final decision is made by the owner together with the employees based on the characteristics of each room and personal preferences.

Features of mounting the cabinet under a suspended ceiling

You can combine a suspended ceiling structure and furniture in several ways, which should be chosen based on the concept of the room. Also, the decision is influenced by which cabinet will be installed, what kind of fixtures will be, and if you have a desire for the film to continue inside the product, you get a neat fit.

We place the cabinet under the finished ceiling

It is necessary to prepare a wooden beam, guides, canvas and harpoon system or aluminum fasteners. The method is characterized by high execution speed and practicality, which makes it possible to install the furniture at a convenient time for you. The process is as follows:

• A door rail is mounted on the draft ceiling.
• A retaining beam profile is fixed along the ceiling. Then a special fastener is screwed onto it from the side of the cabinet, which holds the stretch ceiling.

As a result, the film will completely hide the beam, and the assembly of the cabinet can be carried out both immediately and last.

NOTE. This method is applicable only if the exact dimensions of the furniture are known.

Canvas over the cabinet

Similar to the previous method, but the ceiling structure and cabinet are attached to a wooden beam. Installation is carried out as follows:

• First of all, a wooden beam is mounted, while it is desirable that its cross section be 100x100 mm, since it will succumb to a significant load.
• Door rails are installed on the beam below.
• From the outside, a decorative laminated chipboard is attached, which should overlap the guides. It should be ensured that the caps of the screws are located above the level of the future ceiling.
• A film is stretched, which visually appears above the cabinet, after which the joint and panel fragment are decorated in any way.

The method has gained great popularity, since the volume of the upper shelves is maximum, there is no film inside the compartment, which means that it cannot be damaged. On the aesthetic side, everything is perfect - the tensile structure fits perfectly with the furniture, without the formation of gaps, in some cases a mortgage may be necessary.

The film inside the cabinet

The film is located both outside and inside the cabinet, decorating it with itself, which can be further strengthened by the installation of lamps. The sequence of work:

• a wooden beam is installed, the lower part of which should be thoroughly cleaned and processed with sandpaper until smooth, since it is in contact with the film;
• installation of the web is carried out, after which a PVC plate is pre-fixed in the place of future fastening of the door rail;
• fixtures are built in at will, and then doors are put;
• joints are decorated with ceiling skirting boards, into which it is advisable to install LED strips, which serve as an additional light source in the room.

Not a very popular method, due to the high probability of damage to the film during the operation of furniture. If it becomes necessary to dismantle the stretch ceiling, you will have to disassemble the compartment first.

Separate construction

The choice of this method will ensure the visual integrity of the tensile structure and the wardrobe, while they will be separately from each other. Installation is very simple and requires only care and accuracy.

First of all, a stretch ceiling is installed around the entire perimeter of the room, after which the furniture is assembled and the top cover is placed. The last step is the most difficult, since the short distance to the film makes it possible to damage it.

Recommendations of specialists

The main value, according to all experts, is the correct and accurate calculation of the size of the interior and its location. It is recommended to turn to the services of experienced craftsmen who will draw up a competent installation diagram, select a place for fixing the mortgage. It is also recommended to pay attention to the following tips:

• If you have preferred a sliding wardrobe, you should definitely inform the employees who assemble the suspended ceiling. They will take into account the wishes and give recommendations on further actions.
• When installing furniture, you must be extremely careful with its sharp corners, which can easily damage the film
• If you prefer a frame structure, then first you need to stretch the ceiling, since in the future the furniture can be dismantled.
