Stretch ceilings are a relatively new invention. They gained their popularity among buyers due to such qualities as durability, moisture resistance, a variety of shapes, textures and colors, which is due to the use of PVC film and special technology production.

Ten years ago on the market finishing materials European-made ceilings were presented. And only in our days Russian manufacturers were able to win a certain share of this market.

Despite the large number of domestic companies producing stretch ceilings, according to experts, this segment is not yet saturated enough, and the competition is relatively low.

Studies show that consumers treat the products of domestic producers with some mistrust, which, however, has no serious justification. The quality of our materials is high, and the proximity of production stretch ceilings to the sales market favorably affects the retail price of products.

In addition to saving on shipping costs, Russian companies managed to minimize losses associated with the transportation and storage of materials.

The main component of the stretch ceiling - PVC film - deteriorates during long-term transportation, which leads to losses when ordering imported products.

High quality stretch ceilings produced in our country are also conditioned by the fact that Russian companies successfully cooperate with Western "colleagues", adopt their experience and increase the level of control not only of production, but also of installation of ceilings. All this favorably affects the reputation of our manufacturing companies.

Note that the production of stretch ceilings is a costly business that requires large investments at the initial stage.

You will need to purchase special equipment, maintain a special microclimate in production halls and, most importantly, strictly adhere to production standards. Nevertheless, all these costs quickly pay off, and later turn into big profits.

Equipment for the production of stretch ceilings

To open own production stretch ceilings will need one or two HDTV machine... The cost of one machine for welding seams and a harpoon is from 300 thousand rubles. (single-post) up to 350 thousand rubles. (two-post). In addition, you will have to purchase an air compressor (receiver 50 liters) worth up to 15 thousand rubles.

Additional electrical equipment (cable, machines, etc.) will cost about 10 thousand rubles. Also, for the equipment of the workshop, one or two tables for cutting are required, two tables for feeding material to the machine, a packing table with heating, racks for storing film.

All this will have to spend from 50 to 80 thousand rubles. In addition, the business plan should include the cost of renting production space.

Expenses for Additional materials (metal corners, Chipboard, lining) will amount to about 5 thousand rubles. For the production of the first batch of stretch ceilings, you will need the following expendable materials: PVC film, PVC baguette, harpoon, insert. Don't forget about packaging costs (boxes, tape, bubble wrap, etc.). The minimum cost of the first purchase will be 100 thousand rubles.

When calculating the profitability of your business for the production of stretch ceilings, keep in mind that the production of 1000 sq. M of ceiling (German PVC film - 60 rubles / sq. M) will take 1000 running meters. m of PVC baguette (22 rubles / rm), 1000 rm. m inserts (10 rubles / running m) and 700 running meters. m harpoon (10 rubles / rm).

This calculation is given for the production, which will combine imported PVC film and fasteners with a baguette. Russian production... However, analysts predict that in the next couple of years, models from Russian canvas and accessories, which fully comply with European quality standards, will oust "hybrids" from the market.

The technology for installing such stretch ceilings is quite simple: a baguette (fastening profile) is installed along the perimeter of the room, onto which a PVC film is stretched.

There is another type of ceiling production - the so-called seamless ceilings, which are made of very thin fabric impregnated with polymers on one or both sides.

Retail price per sq. m of Russian-made stretch ceiling averages 400 rubles. Square meter stretch ceiling of European production will cost the buyer 500-900 rubles. The premium ceiling costs from 1,500 thousand rubles / sq. M.

The productivity of a single-station machine with an eight-hour workload per day and 22 working days per month is 2500 sq. m / month The cost price of one sq. meter of the finished ceiling is 125-200 rubles / sq. m.

If you are not just planning to organize sales finished products, but also to provide installation services, you will need at least 2-3 teams of two people each. When drawing up a business plan, take into account the cost of wages to installers - from 15 thousand rubles / month. per person.

The stretch ceiling business is highly profitable, but you shouldn't forget about the high competition in this market. If you manage to quickly organize the sale of your products, already in the first 3-6 months of work you will be able to reach the level of self-sufficiency.

Tension structures - modern, high quality and quick way ceiling decoration, which attracts more and more potential consumers every year. They are in demand both for apartments and houses and in non-residential premises (offices, shops, bars, nightclubs).

Overview section

The production of stretch ceilings includes the following list of works:

• measurements and development of ceiling design;
• production of ceiling paintings;
• assembly and installation of the finished structure.

Many people confuse the production of stretch ceilings with the production of fabrics for them (PVC films or fabric base impregnated with polyurethane). Let's immediately distinguish between the concepts: film production and production of ceilings Are two different technological processes. Film manufacturers do not manufacture ceilings, they act as suppliers of raw materials to manufacturers of stretch structures.

The advantages of stretch ceilings over other types of ceiling finishes:

1) durability- the minimum warranty period is about 10 years, during which you can forget about cosmetic repairs;

2) moisture resistance... Stretch ceilings are not afraid of gulfs - even if the canvas is deformed under the weight of water, it is enough to unscrew the bulbs, draining the water.

The ceiling will dry up and take on its former "marketable" appearance;

3) quick installation , which does not require global preparations, washing off whitewash, leveling ceilings, "dirty" finishing works etc. In literally an hour or two of work, a new, even and beautiful ceiling will appear in the apartment;

4) versatility... A wide selection of colors and textures allow such ceilings to perfectly complement any, even the most extravagant interior;

5) hygiene... Stretch ceilings are made of antistatic material, on which household dust practically does not settle. If necessary, the ceilings can be washed with a soft cloth using detergents. Considering all the indisputable advantages, it is not surprising that in the building materials market, the production of stretch ceilings is becoming more and more in demand every year, and the demand is still far from saturation. Therefore, the production of stretch ceilings is very promising and interesting idea for small and medium businesses.

Organizational moments

To organize the production of stretch ceilings, it will be quite enough to register as an individual entrepreneur on the simplified taxation system.

Make out entity it makes no sense, since there are more taxes, and for the end consumer (the same private entrepreneurs or individuals), in this case, the form of ownership you have chosen will not matter. However, if you want to hedge against losses ( individual entrepreneurs in the event of bankruptcy, all property is at risk, and an LLC - only a part of investments in the authorized capital), you can become a founder of a legal entity.

Whatever form of ownership you choose, the following must be indicated in the registration documents OKVED codes:

• 25.23 Manufacture of plastic products used in construction; - 52.46.7 Retail trade building materials not included in other groupings; Well, just in case:
• 52.61 Retail trade by order.

A license to manufacture ceilings is not required. But with manufacturing companies it is better to conclude a cooperation agreement and be sure to obtain certificates for all products(materials must have a certificate of conformity, a sanitary-epidemiological conclusion, and ideally a quality certificate of European standards ISO 9001-96).

Stretch ceiling market analysis

The production of stretch ceilings is not a new business, so the competition will be significant. A beginner who wants to gain a foothold in this market must think in advance about a tool for attracting customers. The most profitable options are a lower price than competitors', a wide range of products and a reliable reputation.

Film production does not stand still, glossy, satin, matt ceilings have long been known to the consumer, therefore the main thing that buyers are guided by is the cost. But setting landslide-low prices is not an option, so you can scare away customers (cheap means poor quality). It is much more effective to make a free service or related services paid by competitors (measurements, screwing in additional bulbs, etc.).

Production should be started from the most popular materials - matte and glossy PVC films, of course, with a wide selection of shades of all colors of the rainbow. As a consequence, it is worth considering the option of applying images to the film using a photo printer, creating original design solutions using LEDs (for example, ceilings a la "starry sky").

One of the most effective way customer acquisition - building a reputation as a reliable supplier through advertising from construction crews and firms selling building materials, which can become your dealers. To do this, it is worth concluding a contract with a team of installers (or better, with several) for the installation of finished ceilings.

You will be able to save on wages and taxes for permanent workers, and builders will advise your firm on their sites. Through the intermediary of dealers, the income will be lower, but the sales volumes will be higher than with independent sales.

At the initial stage, it is worth considering all the marketing options.

Selection of premises

You will need not only premises for production, but also an office, where samples of materials, catalogs with proposals and approximate options for execution will be exhibited. Ideally, it can be one room, divided into two zones - exhibition and production.

The office will receive orders, select the form and material, and carry out financial calculations. It is desirable that the office is located in a place with high traffic, accessible to potential clients (in the center, near construction markets, supermarkets). Office space can be selected minimum sizes- 10-15 m 2 will be enough.

For industrial premises you will need 50-70 m 2, the main requirement is good system ventilation, heating, electricity connection 380 V. Temperature regime indoors + 15- + 25.

Materials for the production of stretch ceilings

Which supplier should you choose? The main thing here is to find the golden mean between price and quality. Assess your potential customer and his income. Analyze the range, prices and offers of competitors.

In the market of manufacturers of materials for stretch ceilings, European manufacturers are leading: French, Belgian and German films (they are also the most expensive).

Our people are traditionally skeptical about domestic production... Only goods from the Middle Kingdom are less trusted. But in fact, you can pick up quality material, manufactured according to European standards and technologies, both from ours and from Chinese manufacturers, in no way inferior in quality to the advertised brands. Therefore, it is not a bad idea to conclude a supply agreement with several manufacturers at once in order to expand the price range of the offered assortment from affordable to premium. But it all depends on the amount of investment that you are willing to invest in this project.

Materials required to start production:

• PVC film, PVC baguette, insert, harpoon;
• metal corner, chipboard;
• spunbond # 17;
• Vilatherm (diameter 40);
• electrocardboard (press board) for welding on the machine;
• for packing: carton boxes, bubble wrap, scotch tape.

The estimated cost of purchasing materials required to start production is from 100,000 rubles.

• 2 tables for feeding the film to the machine;

Film storage racks

The estimated cost of such a configuration is 80,000 rubles.

Office equipment:

• exhibition stand with product catalogs;
• table, chairs;
• computer, printer, telephone / fax;
• stationery, etc.

The equipment of the office will require 56,000 rubles.

In total, the equipment for the production + office premises will be required: 566,000 rubles.

Stretch ceiling production process

1) Cut the canvases

According to the measurements taken in advance, the pattern of the canvas is made. The pattern drawing is formed in a special computer program... The cutting specialist prepares all the components of the future ceiling, cutting the canvas exactly according to the drawing. The standard width of a roll of German PVC film is 1.3-1.8 m, if the ceiling design provides for a large area, soldering of the cut pieces will be required.

2) Soldering seams

With the help of high-frequency welding, the seam is unobtrusive and strong, it is practically invisible on the matte film. The pattern is placed on the lower press of the welding surface of the electrodes. At the moment of lowering the upper press with an electrode strip, the HDTV generator is started, a working capacitor is formed between the electrodes. Under the influence of high-frequency energy, the thermoplastic material instantly heats up from the inside, the molecular composition of the tissues becomes mobile, transforming the two cuts into a monolithic whole.

At the end of welding, the generator is turned off, the film is instantly cooled under pressure, after which the top plate is lifted. The strongest seams are achieved with a short welding cycle (soldering time 2-3 seconds), for which a powerful generator must be used.

3) Welding the harpoon

Harpoon- this is a flexible plate made of hard plastic, a special design-lock along the perimeter of the film, which is inserted into the baguette and allows reliable fastening ceiling structure... With the help of a harpoon installation, you can, if necessary, disassemble the ceiling (for example, with a strong flood or to connect an LED system). With the help of the HDTV machine, the harpoon is welded to the edge of the film web.

4) Quality control and packing

All seams after soldering are checked by hand. The film is interlayered with a special air-bubble film to avoid deformation during transportation and is packed.

We draw up a business plan for the production of stretch ceilings

Income part:

The productivity of a two-station HDTV machine (with an 8-hour working day, 22 days a month) is 3750 m 2 / month.

Sales price for dealers - 200 rubles / m2 (70% of output - 525,500 rubles)

The selling price for the end consumer is 600 rubles / m2, minus the services of a hired team of assemblers - 450 rubles / m2 (30% of the output - 506,250 rubles).

Total income: 1,031,250 rubles / month.

Expenditure part:

Calculation of the cost of 1 m 2

For the manufacture of 1 m 2 stretch ceiling from the German Lackfoile PVC film:

• PVC film - 1.06 lin. meter * 50 rubles = 53 rubles.
• PVC baguette - 1 rm. meter * 20 rubles = 20 rubles.
• insert - 1 lin. meter * 8 rubles = 8 rubles.
• harpoon - 0.7 lin. meter * 7 rubles = 4.9 rubles.
• rent + utilities(the amount is divided by the monthly productivity of the machine) - 40,000 rubles / 3750 = 10.67 rubles.
• salary (office manager and 2 workers) 35,000 rubles / 3750 = 9.33 rubles.
• packing material - 1.8 rubles.
• lining for the film - 3.1 rubles.

Total, the cost of 1 m 2 of the stretch ceiling - 110.8 rubles.

USN tax: 1,031,250 rubles * 6% = 61,875 rubles / month.

Profit for the month will be: 1,031,250 rubles. - 415,500 rubles. - RUB 61,875 = 553 875 rubles

To launch an enterprise you will need:

• purchase of materials for the production of 3750 m 2 of film: 340 500 rubles.
• machines and equipment for the office and industrial premises: 566,000 rubles.
• costs of paperwork - 20,000 rubles
• rent of premises in 70 m 2 (50 m 2 - production, 20 m 2 - office) - 30,000 rubles.

Total: 956,500 rubles.

With a working line loading 8 hours 22 working days a week and with a capacity of 3750 m 2 / month, the cost of opening a production will pay off in 2 months.

Of course, such predictions are rather arbitrary. As practice shows, it is more realistic to count on a payback period of 6 months. However, it all depends on sales and organization of production: the larger the dealer network and consumer demand, the greater the production load (work in two shifts, etc.) with a corresponding increase in profits.

Stages of production of stretch ceilings

1. Construction of a drawing, calculation of shrinkage, design of the future ceiling.
2. Cutting out the material, soldering if necessary.
3. Welding the harpoon along the perimeter of the stretch ceiling for fastening.
4. Application of photo printing if necessary.
5. Quality packaging.

Production time

Thanks to the large stock of production facilities, Fran Studio manages to ensure the shortest production times, even during peak periods. Usually the production time does not exceed 2 days. This indicator may increase depending on the complexity of the order. The deadlines are calculated in advance, and their exact adherence is the main advantage for our clients.

The demand for this type of ceiling is stable. To draw up a business plan, it is important to study the competition in your area, find reliable suppliers and conclude preliminary agreements with dealers.

The main risks

Due to the popularity of stretch ceilings and the possibility of their installation at any time of the year, there is no dependence on the season. All risks are associated only with the quality of materials, your work and the range of services. You shouldn't save on wages - invite qualified specialists. Also, choose your supplier carefully. The presence of certificates is required.

Location

The minimum area of ​​the workshop is 50 m². Must have a modern ventilation system and a power supply of 380 volts. Premises for production can be rented in any area with low rental rates.

The requirements for the office are higher. It should be located as close to the city center or business districts as possible. The proximity to public transport stops, the availability of parking and separate entrance from the front side of the building. If potential clients have difficulty finding your office, count on big profits not worth it.

To receive orders and install demonstration stands, it is enough small room with an area of ​​15-20 m². But too cramped an office will arouse suspicion among visitors. In this regard, it is important to strike a reasonable balance.

You can rent to locate an office and a workshop in the same room. Separate location of these premises is more beneficial in terms of rental cost and prestige, but in this case, transport costs for delivery of orders may increase.

Equipment

Business in the production of stretch ceilings involves welding PVC film in a panel for the size of the room. The minimum equipment list consists of the following machines:

1. A single-station machine for welding a sheet with a high frequency current (HFC) costs from 120,000 rubles. But it is better to immediately purchase a two-post model. Its performance is much higher, the average cost is 365,000 rubles.
2. Air compressor with a receiver volume of 50-100 liters. The cost is 20,000 rubles.
3. Tables for cutting and for supplying fabrics to the machine, racks - 80,000 rubles.
4. Exhibition stands, furniture, computer, printer and other necessary office supplies. Cost - from 60,000 rubles.
5. Wiring electrical supply, installation of automatic devices and RCDs - 20,000 rubles.
6. Special software with training of employees - from 30,000 rubles.

In total, about 600,000 rubles should be planned for the purchase of equipment. Something you can buy cheaper. For example, used stands or furniture. You can bring a computer from home. But something in your area is more expensive. Don't forget about unforeseen expenses.

Technology

The production of stretch ceilings is simple and labor-intensive. All technology comes down to PVC processing films on the HDTV machine.

First, on the table, the canvas is cut according to certain sizes... For this, a special program is used that allows you to accurately maintain the dimensions of the sides and diagonals of the future ceiling. The standard width of PVC film is 1.5 and 2.2 meters. To obtain a canvas of the required width, the segments are welded on a high-frequency current machine.

The next stage - a harpoon is attached to the glued canvas along the perimeter, with its help the stretch ceiling is attached to the base of the structure. The finished ceiling is neatly rolled up and wrapped in foil.

Materials (edit)

The initial purchase of materials costs about 100,000 rubles. The starter kit looks like this:

• Several types of PVC films, harpoons and baguettes.
• Pressspan is a special cardboard that is used for welding on a HFC machine.
• Vilatherm. It is needed to seal the seams. The most common diameter is 40 mm, but others should be kept in stock.
• Packing materials (film, cardboard, scotch tape).

Personnel

3-4 people are enough to work in the workshop. One employee is responsible for working with the computer and cutting the canvas. 2-3 people are engaged in welding, harpoon fastening and packaging. Although at the start, in the absence a large number orders with work can be handled by 2 people. It all depends on the volume of production. Despite the simplicity of the technology, qualifications and experience are important.

The office can be operated by one person. His responsibilities include working with clients and placing orders. If there are few orders, measurements in the customers' premises can be carried out by one of the foremen working in the workshop. If your workers are constantly busy in production, you need to hire a measurer.

It is much more convenient for clients to receive all services in one company - we mean both the manufacture and installation of stretch ceilings. It is better to immediately organize a team of workers who will install the structures. This will entail additional costs for organizing the business, but the profitability will be much higher.

Documents and licenses

By registering your company, you can choose an individual entrepreneur or LLC. An individual entrepreneur operates on a simplified taxation system, but in the event of bankruptcy, you risk all your property. Registration of an LLC and conducting calculations on financial statements for taxation is much more complicated. But your risks are limited only by your share in the authorized capital. Your OKVED codes:

25.23 - production plastic products for construction work;
- 52.46.7 - retail building materials;
- 52.61 - retail trade for individual orders.

The production of stretch ceilings is not subject to licensing. But for your own benefit, you should conclude a contract with manufacturers or official PVC suppliers films and other materials. On its basis, you can get product certificates. Their presence will allow you to work with firms that are engaged in the installation of stretch ceilings, and will increase customer confidence.

Marketing

Sales of products can be carried out through two channels:

Directly to the client. If you have a team of installers on your staff, the average cost of 1 m² is about 400 rubles.

Sale of ceilings to dealers. This method implies cooperation with external installation firms. In this case, the average cost of 1 m² is 200 rubles.

To attract private clients, advertisements should be advertised in the local media. Outdoor advertising is also effective in your case. It is impossible to do without the company's website. Do not spare money to promote it, post ads on local platforms and any forums related to construction.

Profitability

The production cost of 1 m² of the ceiling is about 110 rubles. With a two-station HDTV machine and 100% utilization, you will be able to produce 3750 m². Suppose that 60% of the products you sell through dealers for 200 rubles and 40% directly to the client for 400 rubles. Your monthly profit will amount to 638,000 rubles. After taxes, wages and other operating expenses, net profit in the range of 350,000-400,000 rubles.

With a start-up investment in the organization of a business in the amount of 700,000 rubles, payback occurs in about 4-5 months.

Summary

The production of stretch ceilings is highly profitable. The investment pays off in a short time.
