      It looks like you guys know everything. So I thought I’d ask you about stretched ceilings. There is a company in New York called Plafond Group that specializes in stretched ceilings. Their website has all the information about stretch ceilings and much more. The web address for their site is http://www.eurostretchedceiling.com
