- Painting can done with a roller or with a spraying machine, only when the fibers glass stick out (never by brush). MyCosmos will provide you will personalised detailed and custom solutions for you star ceiling project.
- Do not divide the glass fiber stars evenly over the ceiling, see the pictures on the website for inspiration for constellations. The best thing is to first of select where all the stars should be placed. Design is key and takes time, MyCosmos will provide you will detailed plans on how to get this done the right way.
- Provide extra normal lighting, because the starry night sky ceiling provides lighting for ambience only. We often install small dimmable indirect LED strip lighting mounted to the back.
- MyCosmos can deliver different ceiling fixation possibilities and finishing, giving you the most beautiful and realistic Fiber Optic Star Ceiling panel(s) and Lighting solutions.
DIY Star Ceiling
Don’ts :
- Do you have a lot of patience and especially a lot of time? If Not, then do not get started with building the starry night sky ceiling and lighting. Calculate at least 12 hours of work per m². Before everything is mounted and working on the ceiling is complete with finishing. You can rush with cheap DIY bought elsewhere and you will be disappointed, hundreds of customers tried this and told MyCosmos how disappointing the “all the same stars kits” really are.
- Consider what the result should be before you begin. If you want a realistic star ceiling with different brightnesses and variation in star size so you will look at the ceiling for many years like all the MyCosmos customers do, then a “do it yourself kit” (from the competitor) is not an option.
- Beware of the competitors products for this so-called “twinkel wheel”, this seems very nice, but after a second, the blinking starts working on your nerves. It also makes this a noise and is very unsuitable for damp spaces. Check out our unique twinkle, which you can set at the desired twinkel speed and can also set it to be static, makes no noise and is 100% waterproof.
- The Quantity of the stars: with the competitor kit you can make up to 50 stars per square meter, but it will look very busy, due to the lack of variation in size and brightness. We make over 100 stars per square meter as if you are outside late at night under the real starry night sky. We will advice you the correct number of stars for your project and build custom DIY kits for you.
- Be ware of the do-it-yourself packages with IR – Remote technology, these are 30 years old, outdated technology. You can see this by the flat infrared remote control or the antenna sticking out of the remote control.
- The fiber optic plastic ends tip are sometimes offered by competitors to make larger stars. This does not give the desired result and looks very cheap. We make the different sizes exclusively with fiberglass and the according light source, which gives a huge difference in quality and a realistically much brighter star.
- The glass fibers can break and be affected by most glues, so therefor always use silicone kit, to use just any glue for the fiberglass fixation is very risky.
