Ceilings
An often overlooked part of an interior installation, a ceiling can make or break an interior scheme.
A good ceiling can offer:
- Acoustic attenuation - damping the sound levels between areas
- Fire retardation - containing a potential fire
- Scratch and impact resistance - subjection to and passing the Hess Rake and Preston impact tests
- Audio absorption - conversion of sound energy in heat, thus reducing heating costs
- Humidity resistance - the tiles ability to perform without losing integrity
- Thermal conductivity - the ability to resist heat transmission, reducing heating costs
- Antimicrobial - specific performance against bacteria, mould and mildew
- Light reflectance - usable light reflected onto work-surfaces, reducing lighting costs
Plus the aesthetic effect can be stunning, adding true value to an interior and enhancing the environment. |
