Hello,

The Two Essential Components of a Stretch Ceiling: Quality Matters

A stretch ceiling system is composed of just two fundamental components, and both are equally crucial to the overall performance and aesthetic. The membrane takes center stage, covering approximately 95% of the room’s surface area. It’s the first thing anyone notices, which is why its quality must be flawless.

While we installers do not manufacture the membrane ourselves, it is produced by leading manufacturers, often from large-scale groups within the plastics industry. These companies supply the raw material, which is then packaged in rolls—available in widths of 2 meters, 3.2 meters, or 5 meters (approximately 6.6 feet, 10.6 feet, or 16 feet). These rolls are distributed to hundreds of companies worldwide, each of which is responsible for welding the harpoons that attach the membrane to the track. Each harpoon is designed to fit its corresponding track, ensuring a secure and precise installation.

Since 1990, we’ve exclusively partnered with a trusted European company that provides us with high-quality harpooned membranes and tracks. This company sources its materials from the world’s leading manufacturers of stretched membranes, ensuring we use only the best. While we are frequently approached by other suppliers offering lower prices, we remain cautious. The extremely low prices they offer raise concerns about the membrane’s quality. For us, experience, reputation, and the long-term viability of our business are far more important than profit margins.

Quality is our unwavering policy.

We understand that some stretch ceiling installers may offer low-cost alternatives, but this often comes with hidden downsides. For example, we’ve heard stories of customers needing to temporarily vacate their homes because of overwhelming chemical odors from inferior membranes. These unpleasant odors are a clear sign of substandard materials. We are proud to say that, in all our years of service, we have never received a complaint about the smell of our membranes—proof of our commitment to quality.

At OneStretchCeiling Miami, we believe that excellence in materials is not just a preference; it’s a necessity for ensuring the satisfaction and safety of our customers. Our reputation is built on it.  Thank You
