Barrisol® Light Stretch Ceiling - Backlit translucent stretch ceiling

Barrisol Light Stretch Ceiling — The innovative choice for illuminated interiors

Barrisol light stretch ceiling is an innovative architectural lighting and ceiling solution that brings seamless, diffused light into interior spaces with striking aesthetic and functional impact. Designed by Barrisol — the recognized world leader in stretch ceiling systems — this advanced product combines lighting performance, customisation, and sustainability to elevate homes, offices, museums, retail environments and public spaces.

At its core, Barrisol light is a stretch ceiling system that incorporates a high-quality translucent membrane installed using Barrisol’s patented profiles. Light sources such as integrated LEDs, fluorescent tubes or fibre optics are positioned above the membrane so that the ceiling surface glows uniformly and beautifully, creating soft, even illumination that enhances architectural ambiance. The result is a luminous surface that can be fine-tuned to your preference, from warm and subtle to bright and vibrant lighting effects.

Customisation & Design Flexibility:

Barrisol’s light stretch ceiling solutions are highly customisable, allowing architects and designers to tailor the appearance and performance to each project’s needs. Options include different translucency levels, colours and light intensities, as well as printed graphics or patterns that produce artistic visual effects. Specialized variants even allow chromotherapy-style colour variations or dynamic lighting sequences.

Beyond traditional flat surfaces, Barrisol light systems can be formed into 3D shapes, luminous walls, luminous paths, or integrated with acoustic and printed finishes — making them as decorative as they are functional. Acoustic versions of the light stretch ceiling also improve sound absorption in interior spaces without sacrificing lighting quality.

Performance & Technical Excellence:

One of the hallmarks of Barrisol’s light stretch ceilings is the uniform diffusion of light, creating a soft, glare-free surfaces that feels natural and harmonious within a space. Thanks to the flexibility of Barrisol materials, light can be evenly distributed across an entire ceiling surface or emphasised in specific zones where lighting impact is most desired.

Barrisol’s stretch ceilings carry CE certification and conform to rigorous fire, air quality and safety standards, underscoring the company’s commitment to high-performance building materials.

Sustainability & Environmental Credentials:

Sustainability is central to Barrisol’s design philosophy. Many Barrisol stretch ceiling products are recyclable at the end of their long service life, contributing to reduced material waste compared with conventional finishes. Additionally, Barrisol offers solutions with EPD verification, providing independently validated data on environmental performance, including life-cycle impacts such as embodied carbon.

Barrisol’s manufacturing processes prioritise reduced resource use, lower emissions, and minimal waste. Stretch ceilings are lightweight and easy to transport, minimising fuel consumption during distribution, and installation produces almost no onsite waste. These factors support sustainable building practices and reduce the environmental footprint of every project.

Sustainable Functionality in Practice:

The Barrisol light stretch ceiling doesn’t just look good — it performs sustainably. With high light reflectance and even diffusion, it can reduce the need for additional intense artificial lighting, potentially helping lower energy usage. Barrisol materials also earn high indoor air quality ratings (A+), meaning they contribute to healthier indoor environments with very low VOC emissions.

Applications & Use Cases:

Barrisol’s light stretch ceiling systems are well suited to a wide range of environments:

• Residential spaces seeking elegant mood-enhancing ambient lighting.
• Offices, hospitality venues and retail spaces that benefit from custom-designed luminous ceilings.
• Museums, galleries and public buildings where soft, even light enhances display areas and visitor comfort.
• Large-scale projects needing custom shapes, printed surfaces, or integrated lighting effects to define a space.

Summary:

The Barrisol light stretch ceiling represents a perfect fusion of innovative lighting design, architectural flexibility and sustainable performance. As an adaptable solution that delivers uniform light, superior design freedom and proven environmental credentials. Barrisol continues to lead the market in stretch ceiling technology, setting new standards for modern interiors worldwide.
