What is "Ceiling Skies"?

Between the surface of the base ceiling and the tensioned ceiling, a light source is placed — this is the main device that makes the stars in your sky shine! The star points are the cuts of light guide fibers (optical fiber cables) coming from the light source. Thus, placing such cuts at specific points allows you to create the desired pattern or even a complete image (zodiac signs, galaxies, and more).

Thanks to modern technologies, the brightness of lighting can be adjusted according to your wishes, and individual stars can shine differently. Often in the creation of "Ceiling Skies," popular crystals such as Swarovski are used. These crystals can greatly diversify the celestial pattern and add additional glow and light play.

The basis of the "Ceiling Skies" tensioned ceiling is PVC film. Such ceilings, like all tensioned ceilings, are installed using the hot installation technology and mounted on an aluminum frame.

What Is Needed to Create "Ceiling Skies"?

Properties of optical fiber:

• Electrical safety;
• Fire safety;
• Low thermal conductivity;
• Low power consumption;
• High durability of fibers;
• Moisture resistance;
• No noise effects.

You can purchase pre-made sets for installing "Ceiling Skies". The length of the ceiling is taken into account when purchasing. A standard kit can contain between 50 and 500 "stars". For one square meter, it is recommended to apply between 100 and 150 units.

The light source is the light generator (light source, projector).

There are several types of such projectors:

Halogen Light Generator. The lamps have high power, but they should be installed in easily accessible places for convenient replacement. They can also be monochrome (one light), with color filters (for multi-color illumination).

LED Light Generators. They are used for a longer time, can be monochrome or polychromatic, and can glow in one mode or smoothly change color. Such projectors should not overheat.

Additional Light Generators. These create additional effects and are installed separately. The most modern ones are laser projectors. Installing such a projector allows you to get the following effects:

• Starfall;
• Aurora;
• Galaxy Rotation;
• Constellation Brightening;
• Comet Flight;
• Planet Rotation (Saturn-type);
• Star Explosion.

Additionally, there are two main installation technologies for the "Ceiling Skies" tensioned ceiling. These are with and without piercing the tensioned ceiling.

Installation of "Ceiling Skies" with Piercing the Tensioned Ceiling

In this method, numerous holes are made in the material, and optical fibers are output through these openings. This method should be used on thick material to hide the edges of these optical fibers when the lights are off.

Installation of "Ceiling Skies" without Piercing the Tensioned Ceiling

This is an ideal solution if the material used for the tensioned ceiling is thin (e.g., satin). In such cases, it will look neat when the lights are off.
