The versatility of tensioned screens, once limited to commercial projects, is now expanding into the home lighting market. This option is becoming a more practical alternative to the traditional method of using plaster to close off niches. But what is a tensioned screen anyway? And how can I use them in lighting and architectural projects?
The Tension Screen
The tensioned screen is a lighting solution made from flexible plastic films with high molecular memory and flame retardant additives. Because of its composition, it is an excellent option for diffusing light and closing off a niche.
The flexibility of this material means that projects can be developed in a variety of shapes, colors and finishes, allowing for great creative freedom and exceptional lighting effects. In addition, Tensoflex® screens have a low environmental impact, as all their components are recyclable.
How does the lighting on tensioned screens work?
To create a characteristic lighting effect, often known as a skylight effect, we fix the screens to metal profiles and light them with LED strips and tubular lamps. The quantity and specification of color temperature depends on the size of the project and the lighting requirements.
Above all, it’s worth remembering that in order to fix the profiles, you’ll need to build a niche in the wallboard, plasterboard or joinery. We therefore recommend that you build this niche with a minimum depth of 12 centimeters on site before installing the profiles.
Possible uses
There are countless possible uses, from ambient lighting to printed screens for visual communication. Below, we list some of the ways in which they can be used:
Lighting and Architecture
You can use Tensoflex® screens in commercial projects, such as offices, consulting rooms, receptions, restaurants and more. As well as residential projects, in cloosets, bathrooms and bedrooms. In this sense, specifiers commonly use ceiling screens to provide luminous lighting, known as the skylight effect, and also for perimeter lighting.
You can also work with screens in panels. For example, the 3 cm TF aluminum profile is generally used to close plaster niches or joinery in walls. Without a doubt, this lighting option has a unique and stunning effect, capable of illuminating and bringing sophistication to the environment.
Visual Communication – Printed Screens
Tensoflex® Printed Screens can create highly impactful commercial environments. With a wide range of color options, shapes and finishes, as well as the use of high-resolution custom prints and advanced LED systems, the opportunities to bring the most ambitious projects to life are virtually limitless.
Luminaires
Tensoflex® luminaires feature an innovative range of designs, designed for a variety of applications, and can be chosen from standardized or customized options, with dimensions and formats developed to meet the needs of your project.
The main distinguishing feature of Tensoflex® luminaires is the possibility of removing the screen to maintain the lighting components, as well as the options of overlay or pendant installation, transforming them into a beautiful decorative and functional piece.
Acoustics
Acoustic screens guarantee sound comfort in internal spaces in an efficient and sophisticated way. The sound absorption and flexibility characteristics of the screens allow these solutions to create large-area screens for ceilings, geometric models and customized clouds, as well as cladding panels in different cores and finishes, designed to increase sound comfort indoors.
