Printed Lacquer Stretch Ceilings
Printed lacquer stretch ceilings: artwork with depth and gloss
Printed lacquer combines two ideas: the personality of a printed image and the polish of a glossy surface. Artwork appears richer and deeper, and the ceiling gains a gentle reflection of the room below.

What is it?
It is a stretch membrane with a high-gloss surface that carries a printed design, so the image and the sheen work together.
How it works
- Artwork is selected and prepared for the exact ceiling dimensions.
- It is printed on a glossy membrane.
- The membrane is tensioned into place, giving a smooth, reflective finish with the image visible across it.
Key design characteristics
- Depth and colour intensity from the glossy surface
- Suits abstract, graphic and decorative artwork
- Can be used as a framed feature within a plain ceiling
Benefits
- A distinctive look that feels custom to the room
- Gloss can make colours feel more vivid
- A strong choice for statement entrances and feature rooms
Practical considerations
- Reflections interact with artwork, so busy imagery should be reviewed at scale.
- Colour behaves differently under different lights. A proof is advisable.
- As with all gloss ceilings, geometry and installation quality are important.
Suitable spaces
- Show homes and luxury residences
- Hotel lobbies
- Entertainment venues
- Retail flagship areas
- Restaurants and bars

Design possibilities
- Abstract and marble-like patterns
- Illustrative and decorative artwork
- Brand graphics
- Gradient and colour-field designs
Lighting integration
Spotlights and linear lighting can be integrated, but their reflections form part of the visual design and are planned alongside the artwork.
Architectural lighting optionsInstallation and maintenance
- A site visit and measurement come first, so the perimeter profile, any bulkheads and every light position can be planned before fabrication.
- The membrane is made to the measured room and tensioned into the profile on site, usually after wet trades and painting are complete.
- Because the ceiling sits below the structural slab, the available void depends on the room. Ask for a void check if you plan to add lighting behind the membrane.
- Dust the surface gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and solvent cleaners.
- Keep sharp tools and hot work away from the membrane. Ask us about repairs rather than attempting one yourself.
- Avoid abrasive cleaning that could mark the gloss or the printed surface.
