Using a Stretch Ceiling as a vapour barrier for your swimming pool
In addition to their remarkable looks and lasting qualities, stretch ceilings can serve as vapour barriers for indoor swimming pools. Considered a highly efficient solution, using a stretch ceiling inside a swimming pool building eliminates the challenges of more traditional vapour barriers. Far quicker and easier to install than popular alternatives, a stretch ceiling also provides a seamless finish to the overall design of a swimming pool room that can be further tailored to match an existing style. Looking more closely at the advantages of using a stretched ceiling as a vapour barrier, it’s clear that there are many benefits that span from functionality to durability and ease of installation.
Absolutely essential to the build or renovation of any swimming pool building, effective moisture control prevents mould and mildew from setting into structures and ultimately causing damage that greatly affects the overall integrity and lifespan of the swimming pool room itself. In addition to ensuring that your swimming pool room is both safe and healthy, the use of a stretch ceiling can also help with insulation. This is possible thanks to the flexible and watertight membrane that is impermeable to water vapour when constructed from quality materials. This added benefit is naturally essential to creating a welcoming environment.
Built to last, stretch ceilings are able to act as dependable vapour barriers for extended periods of time. This is perhaps one of the greatest advantages of choosing this form of protection against water vapour as it ensures that the investment translates into real-term savings and reduces the need for disruptive maintenance over the years.
Another standout benefit of using stretch ceilings as a vapour barrier for your swimming pool is that they lend the space a distinctly impressive finish. More specifically, they can be tailored to achieve a look and feel that is consistent with their surroundings. Available in a vast range of colours and textures, it’s easy for owners to develop a ceiling that reflects their sensibilities and preferences for their swimming pool room. It’s no surprise that this benefit has made stretch ceilings particularly popular with architects and interior designers who are responsible for creating striking aesthetics built around swimming pools. From natural and textured styles to angular and more contemporary curves, stretch ceilings make it easy to create a vapour barrier that is as effective as it is striking in appearance.
Easily installed over existing frameworks or ceilings, the addition of a stretch ceiling in a swimming pool room can be accomplished with minimal disruption and cost. Installation is always carried out by professionals, who will ensure that the stretch ceiling is fitted with precision and has a secure finish to act as an effective vapour barrier. Altogether, the ease of installation reduces the time it takes to complete the fit-out of a swimming pool room, making it even more beneficial to designers and homeowners working to strict deadlines.
Another key benefit of using a stretch ceiling as a vapour barrier is the significant amount of time that is saved when it comes to maintenance. With traditional barriers, it can often be a lengthy and complex process when it comes to keeping them clean and looking their best. Often accumulating dust, mould and other debris, these more traditional barriers can quickly become ineffective and unhealthy. Not so with stretch ceilings. Thanks to their smooth surface, they only require a gentle wipe with mild detergent and water to keep them looking and performing fantastically. Their moisture resistance also means that stretch ceilings are not affected by water stains and discolouration.
It’s important to note, too, that stretch ceilings can serve as vapour barriers for residential as well as commercial pools that may be much larger. Similarly, stretch ceilings can accommodate an enormous range of pool shapes, whether they be typical or irregular. Altogether, this versatility makes them a remarkable solution for designers and architects who are involved in the completion of just about any pool project.
One final point to note about stretch ceilings is that they serve as acoustic barriers that are just as good at keeping sound out as they are vapour. As typically loud environments full of the sounds of fun, this is no bad thing and ensures a fantastic finish to the entire project.
