A ceiling can be designed with textile fabrics or mesh cloth; this is also referred to as stretch ceilings or stretched walls. The advantages of using technical textile is that it often is regarded as being ‘warm’, it is acoustically open and it gives a completely different look than a traditional ceiling (wall) or a ceiling system. 

Many forms are possible (level, bent, curved, etc. ). Combinations of flame retardent glass fibre fabric with lighting (traditional or with LEDs) can lead to spectacular effects.

A stretch ceiling can be installed as a whole or in (modular) segments. A modular ceiling island or wall built up from, for example, concealed aluminium is also possible. Optimal acoustics is possible in combination with an absorbing material at the rear.

Examples of realised projects have been included on this page where aesthetic (including organic and 3-) design, lighting technology, acoustics aspects and ventilation play a role. Offering protection to stop people or objects from falling through, movability and fire-resistance and/or allowing the fire to spread to activate sprinkler systems and modular (panel) design may also be important.

This round showroom was provided with a second storey inside for displaying cars. The ceiling at the front has been implemented using Batyline® SK300 fibreglass cloth. This material has a conveys light by 50%. The floor of the 2nd storey, moreover, consists in part of glass!
The ceiling was installed in segments (as triangular wedges) between the trusses.

The lighting above the ceiling as well as the spotlights that shine through the cloth can be set by using advanced software. Just above the exhibited cars, the light intensity can be set individually.

Description
Attached you can find pictures of the ceilings and walls for the entrance building of the NTM in Tilburg. The head walls of the so-called volume and the ceilings are made out one piece without interruption.
Behind the wall is an acoustically absorbent material.
Around the volume is also a tensioned fabric from the ground floor to the roof, about 14 m high.
The fabric is tensioned arround metal lining which result in a special appearance. Total quantity: 600 m2  interior wall & ceiling fabric.
The ceilings in the volume are segmented. The fabric is tensioned arround a color coated lining.
One of the head walls of the volume is equipped with thousands of TFT-LED lights (in collaboration with the company ShowLED). These lights are attached directly to the fabric and provide spectacular moving images. The attached picture shows behind the glass the so-called Led wall.

Batyline® HM

Description
Poly-Ned has realised in this case a ceiling that has been curved twice. Poly-Ned regularly engineers and supplies three-dimensional structures such as tensile structures, air cushion roofs, etc. This know-how was very useful during the design and realisation of this project. The ceiling follows the contours of the aluminium roof and runs all the way to the floor. The high-quality textile fabric also contributes to the required sound absorption. The various surfaces have been stretched around by using elastic cord

Description
Batyline® HM has been applied here as an aesthetic and acoustical ceiling island where the reception can be found and has been provided with lighting at the bottom.
What is special about this project is that the ceiling island has been provided on both sides with Batyline® HM; in-between there is absorption material. The tension in the fabric has here been created by using springs on the top side.
