If you own a bar or restaurant, you will know that it’s not only the floor and tables that need cleaning on a regular basis. Regular ceilings will become discolored and unsightly in no time, which means that they will need to be repainted fairly often. When you have a kitchen, for example, the smells and moisture from all that cooking can really take its toll. The good news is that a stretch ceiling is the answer to all your problems!

Non-absorbant

Firstly, stretch ceilings are made from a special material designed to repel moisture and smell. If you have ever walked into your restaurant in the morning, you will probably notice that it smells like a combination of various foods. This is because these smells are absorbed by the more porous parts of the room – like your ceiling. By installing a stretch ceiling, you will keep your restaurant or bar smelling great! Sure, you will still need to clean your restaurant and you will need to air it every day but you don’t have to worry about those smells sticking around in your ceiling and making your business seem like an unhygienic space.

Superb lighting options

When you run a business like a bar or a restaurant, lighting is incredibly important. You want to make sure that your patrons can see one another and their food or drinks. You also want to avoid harsh lighting that will make everyone feel like there are at their local hospital rather than enjoying a night out. So, dim lighting is the most suitable for a relaxing meal and stretch ceilings allow you to be really flexible with your lighting options. You can choose backlit or incorporated lighting options or even a combination of the two, depending on your needs. Think about what will best suit the environment as well as the needs of your patrons.

Create a theme

Stretch ceilings come in so many amazing designs. You can really create or emphasize a specific theme simply by choosing the right stretch ceiling design! You can choose from different colors, patterns, designs, and even images. For example, if you want to create a nighttime terrace-type feel, you could use a starry night ceiling design and decorate your restaurant with artificial vines and other similar plants. Use natural stone flooring and add some stylish wall murals to give your guests the feeling of enjoying a romantic meal in the Italian countryside. It is just so much you can do with the right ceiling design paired with a suitable mural and subtle décor.

Easy to clean

While these surfaces do not absorb smells and moisture, you might feel the need to clean your stretch ceiling from time to time. The good news is that stretch ceilings are far easier to clean than regular ceilings. All you need to do is give them a gentle wipe with water! Depending on the size of your ceiling and the amount of dirt, you might need to change your water a couple of times but you won’t need to go to the trouble of repainting.

Made to any size

Stretch ceilings can be made according to the size you need. If they can be made to cover the ceilings of large rooms like stores and showrooms, you can be sure that they will work in your restaurant. All you need to do is take a few minutes to measure the ceiling or you can have your stretch ceiling supplier do the measuring for you.

Fast installation

Your restaurant is probably open from lunchtime until late at night, at least. This means that you don’t have a lot of time to spare when it comes to remodeling the room. The good news is that stretch ceilings are installed extremely quickly. So, unlike painting or replacing your ceiling, you will not need to close your business and lose money just to make your venue look its best again. When you choose an experienced and professional stretch ceiling supplier, you can rest assured that they are true experts when it comes to the installation process too. Make sure that you ask about installation and an estimate regarding how long it will take. You should also ask if there is anything you can do before they arrive (like removing condiments from tables) in order to make things easier for the installation team.
