A crochet hook is used to pry open gaps. A small spatula is needed to lift the stretch membrane in some cases.
📏 Step-by-step removal procedureLocate the gap: Insert the crochet hook into the clearance between PVC harpoon and aluminum profile, and separate them gently.
Loosen the PVC harpoon: Pry loose the PVC harpoon with the small spatula. Once separated, thread the crochet hook through to further separate the stretch membrane from the aluminum profile.Detach the stretch membrane: Push while pulling down by hand, release the PVC harpoon section by section, then the whole stretch membrane can be taken off.
⚠️ Important NotesNever pull or tear the membrane forcefully, or the aluminum profile will deform. Be careful with the crochet hook to avoid personal injury or damage to adjacent stretch membranes.

- Foreign objects trapped inside the stretch ceiling
Solutions:Install double-layer stretch membrane. Seal the perimeter of aluminum profiles with aluminum foil tape to stop insects crawling inside. Thoroughly clean the overhead base surface and apply white latex paint.
