French ceiling

Applicable is the magic to produce a variety of purposes - to confectionery, to clothing, to art objects.

In some kinds of ceilings, on assurance of experts in marketing, the perfect and fashionable French design is used.

Types of French ceilings


  1. Stretch seamless French ceilings .
  2. Now the stretch fabric is produced, as in the sunniest France, and in Germany, Sweden, Turkey, the United States or China. Therefore, although the sites are full of appeals to buy from them original materials for repair, often all the goods they offer were produced very far from Paris. The name "French ceiling" became fashionable thanks to the invention of Sherrer Fernand, the talented designer of the company Barrisol. It was he who succeeded in inventing PVC linen and establishing the release of a unique product for finishing ceilings.

    So far, the products under the brand Barrisol are elite, they serve as a real benchmark for buyers who are trying to find the highest quality among the stretch ceilings offered by the market. Not surprisingly, the sellers deliberately call almost all of their goods French, in order to quickly sell it to naive and unfamiliar customers in this topic. Usually French is only a technology, according to which almost all modern stretch ceilings are produced.

  3. French roof rack .
  4. Why again in the production and sale of building materials flashed the magic word France? It is the designers from this Mediterranean country who invented a different S-shaped lock, which makes it possible to fasten the insert between adjacent racks, if they are not mounted closely. The second difference, which you need to know when buying materials with this name - the thickness of the rail in the French ceilings is not thinner than 0.5 mm, which guarantees increased durability. The third difference will instantly notice in the design. In addition to the traditional monochrome coloring, the French often use unusual combinations - beige shading, gold stripe, imitation of scratched gold, pearly white with metallic stripes, pearly pink coloring and other unusual shades using strips and inclusions.

  5. French cassette ceilings .

Considering the products under this name, we found that there are no cardinal design differences between the cassettes, for example, French firms or German firms. They have standard dimensions of 30x30 cm or 60х60 cm and are made of aluminum or iron. The main feature is the original painting, which was called the "French design". A similar style, in which the speckles or small strips are widely used, was encountered already in the description of the French French ceilings. Here again we will see such unique names as scraped silver, scraped gold, yellow matting, sand pearls, golden shading, gold strip or golden metallic.

Suspended and stretched French ceilings attract an interesting view, and not in vain they are so widely in demand. We hope that this story helped you understand the tricks used by marketers. You can now figure out where the French design is used, and where it comes to the technology and design features of the products for finishing the ceiling space.
