Decorative Stretch Ceilings
Decorative stretch-membrane and PVC ceilings for Ghana homes and offices — matt, gloss, satin or backlit, moisture-proof and fast to fit. A clean refurb over an old ceiling without breaking up the room, at a real ₵/sqm. Ceiling GH, since 1973.
A stretch ceiling is a thin PVC membrane tensioned across a track around the room — a perfectly flat, factory-finished surface in matt, gloss, satin or backlit, fitted in a day with no plaster, no skimming and no curing. Ceiling GH has installed decorative stretch and PVC ceilings across Accra since 1973, using them as the fast, moisture-proof, lower-priced way to refresh a room — at a real ₵/sqm, not a luxury price.
Why a Stretch or PVC Ceiling
The appeal is speed and cleanliness. Where POP and gypsum mean a frame, plaster, skimming and days of curing, a stretch ceiling fixes a track around the room and tensions a finished membrane below it — usually in a single day, with almost no dust. It is moisture-proof and wipe-clean, so it works where plaster struggles (bathrooms, kitchens, humid rooms), and it tensions neatly over a tired or water-marked old ceiling without tearing it out. For a quick refurbishment on a real budget, it is hard to beat.
Choosing the Right Stretch Finish
The membrane carries the whole look, so the finish is the decision. Matt reads like a flawless painted ceiling — calm and modern. Satin adds a soft sheen without a mirror effect. Gloss reflects the room and light, making a low or small room feel taller and brighter. Backlit (translucent) turns the whole ceiling into a soft light panel with LEDs set behind it. We match the finish to the room — gloss to lift a small space, matt for a clean modern living room, backlit for a feature.
Stretch & PVC Systems We Install in Accra
Matt Stretch Ceilings
A flat, even, painted-look surface with no joints — the calm modern choice for living rooms, bedrooms and offices, fitted fast over a perimeter track.
Gloss & Satin Stretch Ceilings
Reflective gloss to make a low or small room feel taller and brighter, or a soft satin sheen — both wipe-clean and moisture-proof.
Backlit (Translucent) Ceilings
A translucent membrane with an LED layer behind it, turning the whole ceiling into a soft, even light panel — a feature for receptions, lounges and offices.
PVC Panel Ceilings
Rigid moisture-proof PVC panels for bathrooms, kitchens and wet areas, and a clean cover for a tired old ceiling — wipe-clean and quick to fit.

How We Install a Stretch or PVC Ceiling
- Consultation & free site measure — room and existing ceiling seen; finish agreed; space measured for a real ₵/sqm.
- Perimeter profile fixed — track fixed neatly around the room at the chosen level, no need to strip the old ceiling.
- Membrane fitted & tensioned — PVC membrane warmed, hooked into the profile and tensioned flat; backlit LED layer set behind where specified.
- Trim, test & handover — edges trimmed, lighting tested, surface wiped, room handed over the same day in most cases.
Materials & Real Standards
- PVC stretch membrane and PVC panels are manufacturer-rated — moisture resistance, fire class and finish are to the membrane maker’s own specification; we fit to that specification rather than inventing a standard
- There is no plaster product standard here because no plaster is used — a stretch ceiling is a tensioned membrane, and the quality comes from a clean perimeter track and an even tension, not a certificate
- Backlit LED layer — manufacturer-rated strip and driver, sized to the panel
- We do not claim tile, steel or fabricated warranty tiers on a membrane ceiling
What Affects the Cost
- Room area (sqm) — the main driver, since stretch is priced per square metre
- The finish — matt, satin and gloss are similar; a backlit translucent ceiling costs more for the LED layer behind it
- Whether lighting (spots, cove or backlight) is built in
- Access and the condition of the room (a clean fix over a sound old ceiling is quicker)
As an indication, stretch and PVC ceilings start from about ₵40/sqm including material and labour — a lower-priced, faster option than built-up POP. Every quote follows a free site measure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a stretch ceiling and how is it different from POP or gypsum? A stretch ceiling is a thin PVC membrane tensioned across a track around the room — a flat, factory-finished surface in matt, gloss, satin or backlit, fitted in a day with no plaster or curing. POP and gypsum are built on site over a frame and take longer; stretch is moisture-proof, wipe-clean and fast.
How much does a stretch or PVC ceiling cost in Ghana? Indicative: stretch and PVC start from about ₵40/sqm including material and labour — a lower-priced, faster option than built-up POP. The firm quote follows a free site measure.
Is a stretch ceiling good for a bathroom or kitchen in Ghana? Yes — a PVC membrane is moisture-proof and wipe-clean, so it suits bathrooms, kitchens and humid rooms far better than plaster, and it cleanly covers a water-marked old ceiling.
Can you fit a stretch ceiling over my existing ceiling? In most cases yes — the perimeter track fixes at your chosen level and the membrane tensions below the old ceiling, so there is no demolition and very little mess.
