The stretched ceiling concept originated in Europe 25 years ago. It was born out of the need for efficiency, elegance and
safety, and has been streamlined over the years to become the system used today by french ceiling.

The frame is made in two variations:

- The “clip-in” section can be installed directly onto existing ceilings. Specially designed for french ceiling, this self-locking
clip-in section keeps the PVC vinyl membrane taut. Up to a 1000 sq. ft. sheet can be held in a single frame.

- In the other version the “clip-in “ section is clipped to a support specially designed and used when there is a need to lower
the existing ceiling (“popcorn” T-bar, etc.). Its “L” shape permits this support to be fixed to the walls, eliminating the need
to prep the existing ceiling entirely. In either case, the visible part of the frame is less than 1/10 of an inch.

The PVC membrane sheet is 0.17 mm (0.0067inch) thick vinyl, with all the benefits vinyl offers: fire retardant safety, waterproof, rot resistant, resistant to humidity and shock. All these practical qualities are enhanced by an extremely
high-quality, “upscale” finish. Attached to the clip-in section of the frame, it stretches flawlessly from edge to edge,
giving you ceilings (or even your walls) the most remarkable finish. The membrane is comprised of several strips,
permanently welded by a high frequency welding machine.
