Ceiling decoration on a balcony or loggia: types of materials, color, design, lighting

Options for finishing the ceiling on the loggia

There are several types of balcony finishes.

Stretch ceiling

Stretch French models are characterized by quick installation, hide various defects and irregularities on the ceiling. They have a long service life, are environmentally friendly, easy to maintain, and some types are resistant to deformation and temperature changes. The disadvantages are that they are prone to damage and conceal the height of the room.
