Your vermiculite problem
Vermiculite appeared on the ceilings of Australian apartments during the 1960s in an attempt to conceal the imperfections of the concrete slabs it was applied to. The solution? Use stretch ceilings to create a flawless finish regardless of any light fixtures.
Asbestos contamination
Although not all vermiculite contains asbestos, some products were made with vermiculite that contained asbestos until the early 1990s. Vermiculite mines around the world have been found to contain asbestos contaminants. Pure vermiculite does not contain asbestos and is non-toxic, but it can become contaminated over long periods if there is a presence of a secondary mineral called diopside. After millions of years of weatherization, the biotite turns into vermiculite and the diopside
turns into asbestos.
A universal solution
Stretch ceilings uses Alyos to solve your vermiculite problems. Alyos ceiling is a dynamic ceiling system consisting of a covering in very wide
polyester mesh fabric (over 5m), coated with polyurethane. It can be fitted at room temperature and the room does not need to be heated. The covering fabric slots into a stretching system consisting of sections fitted around the sides of the room. The type of materials and the quality of the coating allow optimal
tension to be achieved, without joints, seams or suspension. It is easy to fit rooms even if they measure more than 5m. The material can be used with any decorative fittings, luminaries and spots.
Installation Principle
Ceiling lining fitted at room temperature.
Installing and tensioning of the Alyos ceiling linings is performed thanks
to the Alyos profile installed on the periphery of the ceiling. The 10mm high Alyos profile,
made of two PVC materials, enables a perfect fit on any architectural shape. The ceiling lining is fitted into the profile using a curved spatula. Its ribbed lip system prevents the lining from slackening. The lining is installed at room temperature. A precision knife is used for the
finishing touches. Only a 5 mm finish strip remains visible.
Alyos is intended for the construction professionals. The system is exclusively implemented by specialists trained for
this technique.
