Types of Suspended Ceilings we provide

These are the types of Suspended Ceilings we are able to provide: [Mineral Fibre] [Mineral Wool] [Metal] 

Mineral Fibre

Available in a range of different textures, mineral fibre ceilings generally provide good acoustic performance. Fire resistance can be achieved. Usually this type of partition is laid into an exposed modular suspension system but it can also be adapted for concealed construction. Normally provided with a white finish however, special colours can be ordered. Modern tiles now provide excellent humidity resistance.

Mineral Wool

Mineral Wool suspended ceilings are a popular first choice for many contractors due to excellent performance characteristics in use and in the event of fire. Recently, green issues have become a significant factor in its selection.

Stability: Mineral Wool is a stable product even under a wide range of temperatures and retains its thermal performance throughout the lifetime of a building.

Energy: During a lifetime of 50 yrs Mineral Wool typically saves more than a 1,000 times the quantity of energy used to make it. With efficient manufacturing process and strict environmental controls Mineral Wool has lower embodied energy and yields greater environmental returns than many other insulants.

Metal

Metal systems offer a number of significant advantages over conventional mineral fibre which should be taken into account before specifying:

Low Life Cycle Cost: Metal systems are manufactured to the highest standards from intrinsically durable materials be it steel or aluminium. A polyester powder coating process protects against corrosion, providing a washable, humidity resistant finish. The anticipated life span of a metal system is in excess of 25 years, which, at a price comparable to mid range mineral tiles, offers very low life cycle costs. 

Acoustic Control High:  An extensive range of perforation patterns combined with acoustic infill, allow precise sound absorption and specialised performances criteria to be achieved. Infills can be varied without changing the overall appearance of the ceiling to allow variations of acoustic performance for specific areas.

Aesthetic Versatility & Access: The ceilings appearance can be varied in terms of perforation pattern, finish, size and shape. Metal ceilings offer easy access for service maintenance with a number of systems featuring hinged down mechanisms making access even simpler. Panels can be supplied with factory formed apertures to allow easy on site installation of luminaries, smoke detectors and air grills.

Recyclable Product Steel: is the most recyclable material, with 5 to 6 million tonnes of steel recycled every year in the UK alone. 

The rising costs of landfill and significant residual value of such a recyclable product offers obvious environmental and cost benefits when the products finally need to be disposed of.
