The ceiling as a light source

A stretch ceiling is a surface people look at every day — every unevenness in the light and every wrinkle stands out. ArDiLight is a flexible PVC fabric that diffuses light uniformly across the whole plane, installs without heating and does not shrink over the years. For installation companies and manufacturers of stretch systems who need a repeatable, defect-free result.

What sets ArDiLight apart

Light spread uniformly

The fabric structure diffuses the light source evenly across the entire ceiling plane — with no hot spots above the fittings and no darker zones at the edges. The backlighting reads as a single sheet, not a row of points.

Installation without heating

ArDiLight needs no heating during installation and no special profiles — fitting is fast and does not depend on warming the membrane. Shorter crew time on site, less equipment on the job.

No shrinkage over the years

The fabric is heat-stabilized: no shrinkage that would tension the membrane over time and distort the plane. A tensioned ceiling stays tensioned — for the whole service life of the installation.

A surface for digital printing

The ArDiLight face is suitable for digital printing — uniform backlit graphics, logos and decorative motifs across the whole ceiling plane, at photographic resolution.

B1 class and a wide temperature range

Flame retardancy to B1 per DIN 4102-1 and a working range of −30 to +70°C — a ceiling approved for public interiors, at home from cold stores to glazed atria.

No insects beneath the surface

The sealed structure of the system prevents insects from accumulating between the fabric and the slab — a problem known from perforated ceilings does not occur here, and the surface stays clean.
