Film manufacturers are popular in Russia for stretch ceilings from France, Italy, Germany and China. We have compiled a selection of proven companies that have certificates confirming environmental friendliness, safety and quality. Of course, the premium options remain the best. They have a large number of colors and textures, environmental friendliness, the ability to withstand floods and not absorb dust.
Films from popular manufacturers in Russia
Manufacturers from Europe do not have canvases wider than 3 meters, which means that the installation will only be with seams. Only the French ClipsO has released a unique line up to 5 meters wide for seamless mounting without a heat gun.
Below in the table are the most popular French suppliers of PVC film for stretch ceilings in Russia:
| Manufacturer | ClipsO (France-Switzerland) | Barrisol | Extenzo |
| Price, rub per sq. meter | 1200-1500 | 1500 | 2000 |
| Web width, cm | up to 510 | 200 | 130-200 |
| Thickness, mm | 0,15-0,18 | 0,17-0,18 | 0,15-0,2 |
| Range | There are acoustic, translucent options, fabrics with an antiseptic | 200 colors and 5 textures | 120 color options, suede, leather and metallic textures |
| Withstands water | Up to 120 l/sq. meter | ||
| Flaw | Cost, use of heat guns (except ClipsO) | ||
| Advantage | Extra-wide blades; they can be reused after flooding; installation is done in a convenient dry way on clip-latches; installation does not require a plinth | Reusable, can create acoustic, light and perforated ceilings | Keep the height of the premises (clearance up to 3 cm from the ceiling) and very durable (breaking force 150 kg / sq. cm) |
As you can see, the "French" can be reused after repair (removed and re-mounted), but the prices "bite". Often, Russian consumers choose French ceilings because of the suede texture.
Chinese manufacturers have wide canvases up to 5.5 meters, allowing you to mount ceilings without seams, the assortment has different textures (including acoustic options, printed films), as well as - budget price, up to 1000 rubles per sq. meter (more often - 700-800 rubles).
Now most of the certified manufacturers from China supply good materials. The only supplier that does not rely on quality is Longway film for stretch ceilings. They have a low price, but a high percentage of defects.
Of the popular Chinese manufacturers, it is worth highlighting MSD - it was he who was highly appreciated in Europe and is the leader in sales in Russia.
Film MSD (China)
MSD is a conscientious Chinese manufacturer of premium stretch ceilings. Their products are certified according to European standards. Due to the fact that the quality is high and the price is reasonable, MSD ceilings have become the bestseller among film manufacturers in Russia.
The plant confirmed the quality by obtaining certificates for its production of films for stretch ceilings:
- ROHS - confirms that the film contains no heavy metals, phosphorus, benzene;
- EN71-3 - indicates that the products are safe for children;
- REACH - confirms that the requirements of the European Union for the safety of human health are met.
By the way, certification for sale in Russia is not required by law, but the manufacturer passed it anyway, which is only a plus for his reputation.
Important! Many Russians want European quality, but fall for fakes: for 1000 rubles for running meter they are sold a Chinese ceiling film of unknown origin. Therefore, if you cannot find a reliable supplier, then it is better to give preference to MSD - it will be China, but tested and certified in Europe.
White MSD (MSD) film for stretch ceilings is closer to blue in shade. The raw material for the film is produced in Taiwan and China with environmentally friendly DOFT plasticizer and does not contain chalk. It is odorless, fireproof and can suppress noise (1 m² ≥ 2500). Durable: withstands soldering, does not tear at the seam.
Below in the table - specifications MSD films.
german film
German film for stretch ceilings is not the widest: most often up to 1.8 meters, sometimes - 2.7 m. Lackfolie has matte and satin lines up to 2 meters wide, and Pongs - up to 3.25 m.
Warning: in German film, the width of 3.25 meters is the maximum! Anything wider is fake. Therefore, German ceilings are mounted mainly with seams (without seams - rooms up to 8 square meters).
We selected three popular German manufacturers in Russia: their films are flame retardant, waterproof, environmentally friendly, in about one price category. The minimum understatement of the ceiling is 3 cm. Due to the water resistance, the ceilings "breathe" worse, so you need to ventilate the rooms. But it reliably protects the repair from flooding by neighbors.

| Lackfolie (Czech Republic-Germany) | Renolit | Pongs ("parent" Lackfolie) | |
| Price, rub/sq. meter | 900-1200 | 900-1200 | 1000-1200 |

| Advantage | Suitable even for pools and saunas, as they are not afraid of fungus and mold (with an antiseptic coating) | Do not crack from heat, so you can mount it in the kitchen. | The material is finely cellular, therefore smooth. There is an "alupigment" texture - it glows when the light is turned on. |
Italian film
Italian stretch fabrics are famous for their aesthetics and often belong to the elite class. Despite the European standard, they are also available in wide versions. For example, Cerutti refers to seamless ceilings up to 5 meters wide - mounted using the "stretching of an artistic canvas".
If you want European quality and seamless installation, then Italian canvases will give you this opportunity. In Russia, in addition to Cherutti ST, the manufacturer Malpensa is also popular.
| Producing country | Italy | |
| Cherutti ST | Malpensa S.R.L. | |
| Price, rub/sq. meter | From 1500 | 500-1500 |
| Web width, cm | 200-500 | 220 |
| Thickness, mm | 0,18 | 0,13-0,22 |
| Range | Cloths of pastel, muted colors. Color printing with the most complex patterns. There are acoustic options. | 130 colors, texture - satin, glossy and matte. |
| Withstands water | 100 l/sq. meter | |

| Advantage | Does not sag thanks to special technology. Waterproof due to double impregnation with polyurethane and varnish - suitable for swimming pools. Suitable for use in children's and medical institutions. | Simple options are quite budgetary. Ideal ceilings for a classic interior. |
If you want a quality, but more budget option, then you should look at MSD, Malpensa, Lackfolie or Renolit. For those who need to protect the ceiling from harsh environments ( high humidity, the constant threat of flooding) or you want special interior solutions, you can order Cherutti or Extenzo.
Below - reviews on the film MSD, Cerutti and Barissol for stretch ceilings.
No matter how accurate and thorough the work of the installation team is, the quality of the finished ceiling still determines the choice of material. Plants for their production, like most chemical industry enterprises, are concentrated in Southeast Asia. All well-known European brands have placed their production workshops there. In addition to them, new Chinese brands have appeared in recent years.
What brands of stretch ceilings deserve the trust of consumers?
Some factories produce films of low quality, but we prefer to work only with those whose products have a guarantee of safety and long service life. Direct cooperation with suppliers of excellent materials for stretch ceilings gives us confidence in their quality. At any time, we are ready to provide certificates of compliance with Russian legal standards. From the variety of brands on the market, we have chosen the best in terms of price and quality. Magnificent consumer properties of these stretch ceilings are combined with moderate cost.

Chinese
Chinese ceilings are increasingly being introduced into our market. Often these films do not differ in quality and durability, but there are several factories whose products can compete with European ones.

- But not everything is rosy with the quality of Chinese products. Vendors often offer Chinese fakes products of European factories.
If you do not know how to determine the manufacturer, then you should look for markings along the edge of the canvas. Europeans usually put it there. When there is no European stamp on the canvases, most likely the film was made in China.
Also, if there is a European stamp, and the width of the PVC sheet exceeds 3 m (which is not found among manufacturers from Europe), this may mean the supplier is dishonest.
Important! The marking of German manufacturers is often applied to Chinese products.
Counterfeit products, which are presented as products of well-known concerns, are difficult to distinguish visually. However, over time, after installation, a fake will make itself felt.
Russian companies
- Saros design
The company has been manufacturing since 2000. Currently, products are manufactured at 8 factories.

The cost, depending on the type of invoice, varies between 670 - 900 rubles / m2.
- simplex
- Vipsiling
The plant has been in production for a little over 10 years. The production of film and fabric canvases has been launched. The price of coatings starts from 550 rubles.
Not so long ago, a new technology has appeared that combines the advantages of film and fabric materials.
- cool stretch
Ceilings made using this technology are devoid of many of the disadvantages inherent in film coatings:
- film installation is carried out without the use of heat guns;
- operation is possible at temperatures down to minus 30;
- lack of smell;
- the width of the canvases reaches 3.6 m, which allows finishing without seams in not too large rooms.
With the advent of this technology in country cottages and on the loggias, you can use the finish with a more economical material. It is worth noting that the Russian manufacturer "Simplex" offers similar seamless PVC ceilings produced using ICE technology. Cost: 600 - 700 rubles. per sq.m.

To the question which better manufacturer stretch ceilings, it is difficult to answer immediately. There are giants on the market: French, Germans and Swiss.
Their products are time-tested, but quite decently worth it. They are breathing down their backs from Chinese and Russian companies that have been producing not so long ago, but are gradually bringing the quality of products to European standards.
In order not to have to repeat the finishing process over time, you should carefully study the characteristics of each brand, familiarize yourself with the certificates and consult with experts.
There are many titles on the market. A wide range, a huge range of prices ... It's easy to get confused in this abundance. If you do not know which manufacturer is better to choose a stretch ceiling, then we advise you to study our review with detailed characteristics of the products of each company.
Leading countries
Given the popularity of this type of coating, it is not surprising that they are trying to be produced almost everywhere. However, for some it turns out at a higher level - most often our compatriots order stretch ceilings French, Italian, German production.
Wide selection and Chinese canvases, both from PVC film and fabric. This is easy to explain: low cost with quite good quality provided a high demand for these products.
At one time, it seemed that the "Chinese" would be pushed out of the domestic Russian firms. However, this did not happen.
Alas, the stretch ceilings of the Kazan artificial leather factory and NIIPIK (Ivanovo) cannot boast of such reliability as the Chinese ones that are close to them in price.
In addition, due to the fact that factories were not originally designed for the production stretch fabric, it turns out in order narrower than competitors - no more than 140 centimeters. This means that during installation it is necessary to mask more seams. Yes, and the color palette is not diverse - both factories produce only 80 shades, which is catastrophically small at the level of competitors.
Therefore, we had to abandon the idea of including them in our ranking - at the moment Russian stretch ceilings do not reach the title of the best. What companies are included in it? Let's see.
Budget segment leader - MSD (China)
The products of the holding MSD New Material Co, Ltd destroys all stereotypes about low-quality Chinese goods. It is one of the world leaders in sales of PVC stretch ceilings. At the same time, everything films are absolutely safe - with the A + environmental class, assigned after passing the ISO certification.
Interesting fact: Very often, the PVC films of this company can be found under ... European brands. For example, a company from Germany PONGS buys from MSD wide bands of 3.2 meters, then passing them off as their own. Of course, the price becomes much higher - you pay for “German quality” ...
By the way, it was this manufacturer that first began to produce canvases measuring 5.1 meters- the widest of the certified films. This makes it much easier installation work in large rooms and avoid ugly joints.
As for the quality, it is also on top - the film does not shed and does not fade over time (up to 15 years), does not deform and does not burn. Like all good stretch ceilings, it can withstand up to 100 liters of water per square meter.
Comparing it with popular famous brands, it is often noticed that the characteristics are almost identical, and in some places even higher. Single weight square meter PVC films are only 190 grams, and the thickness is about 0.18 mm.
The color palette is also amazing - more than 200 different shades of glossy, matte and satin textures. There is where to roam when decorating a room, right?
Do not be afraid of Chinese products if they have proven themselves and have been certified.
Look around - Appliances, smartphones, clothes, cosmetics... Most of the items around us are made in China, even if brands say otherwise. So maybe you don't have to pay?
Descor - fabric ceilings at an affordable price
After analyzing dozens of reviews on construction forums, we declare with confidence that in this area the best manufacturer of the middle price range is German firm Descor.
The width of their canvas is - from 3.20 to 5.20 meters. Thus, it is easy to install the cover even in the largest room. The number of joints will be minimal (and even on such ceilings they are almost invisible).
The quality is top notch too. ceilings are made harmful impurities non-flammable and non-toxic(unless you plan to heat them for a long time).
Small downside: like most fabric canvases, they cannot boast of a wide range of colors - 30 shades, but they are unusually rich and deep. Separately, I would like to highlight 4 of them - the Alupigment series, where the main tone is diluted with a soft sheen, giving the material an elegant glow.
The weight of the finished canvas is one of the smallest in this segment - only 245 g/m2. This eliminates the need for massive profiles.
By the way, about using the latter: Descor easily takes any shape - arches or three-dimensional elements, if you install them on the frame. True, you will need additional components for the profile. With a thickness of only 0.5 millimeters, this is an almost unique property.
Interesting to know: The authenticity of the canvas is easy to check - the stripes must have a fringe, with the inscription "D-PREMIUM MADE IN GERMANY" along the entire length along the edge. If they are not, they offer you a fake.
Best in premium segment - Clipso
Fabric stretch ceilings from the French manufacturer Clipso have become the undisputed leader in the premium segment.
The price for them is rather big - from 900 rubles per square meter. What are the advantages of such coverage?
Like many fabric ceilings, Clipso offer a fairly large canvas - up to 5 meters. However, they differ in color - 40 tones, among which there are quite non-standard. For example, with a gold thread or multi-colored, which give the impression of a three-dimensional texture.
The ideal smoothness of the canvas opens up wide possibilities for decoration.- even the most complex print will fit perfectly.
The service life of the manufacturer is declared at 50 years - this is a little untrue, however 10-15 years without quality loss ceilings hold up.
At the level and technological characteristics: 220 grams of weight, 0.4-0.6 mm thickness.
Good acoustic qualities, strength, reliability and beauty - they are quite consistent with the cost.
Elite Premium - Barrisol
Want to create a truly unique design? pay attention to French brand Barrisol. Six types of texture, 90 different shades, high quality and a 12-year manufacturer's warranty.
In conjunction with environmental friendliness of A + degree, low weight (200 grams per sq. M.) and ease of use- an almost perfect canvas.
I would like to talk about the last point separately. Such coatings endure the effects of chemical detergents, do not condense and do not absorb odors. This means that they can be installed anywhere.
The coating thickness is less than 0.2 mm. Features of installation allow minimizing the loss of space.
Some may be deterred by the price - from 800 rubles per meter. On the other hand, unlike cheap analogues, Barisol can be reused. In addition, they are easily dismantled if necessary, then completely restoring their appearance.
