How to measure a stretch ceiling yourself

Measuring for a stretch ceiling is an essential step that affects the entire installation process. Accurate measurements ensure that the ceiling fits perfectly in your space. This guide will walk you through how to take measurements yourself, allowing you to save on professional measurement services, especially if you are located outside of Tallinn.
Tools you'll need:
  • Measuring tape or a laser distance meter for accurate measurements;
  • Pencil and paper to record the results;
  • A phone with a camera and internet access to send drawings and photos.
Steps to measure the room
  1. Start by drawing a top-down sketch of the room as if you are looking at the ceiling from above. Try to keep the proportions of the walls as accurate as possible.
  2. Measure the length of each wall and write down the measurements in centimeters on the sketch. For example, if a wall is 3 meters long, write "300" without any units on the sketch.
  3. Once all measurements are taken, double-check them to avoid any mistakes during the installation.
If the room has a complex shape:
  • The room has more than 12 corners;
  • The angles are not 90 degrees;
  • There are curved sections.
In such cases, send us several photos of the room from different angles along with the sketch. We’ll guide you on any additional measurements needed.

Examples:
Take photos and send them to us
  1. Take a photo of your sketch and several photos of the room from different angles to capture the entire layout. This will help us verify that all corners and dimensions are included, and it will allow us to assess the current renovation status.
  2. Send us the photos and sketch in any convenient way. Once you've sent the information, you can move on to the next step—an online consultation with our experts.
