Suspended Ceiling Fitters & Grid Systems

Do you want to get rid of the nasty sloping wires and pipes that are a real eyesore? In order to renovate your classroom, your office, or any room in a commercial property, a good idea would be to invest in a suspended ceiling system.

These ceilings are an extension to the existing ceiling which is made of metal grids that are suspended from a ceiling using wire. When the grids are made, tile panels are placed into the grid, which hides the wires and pipes above. They are used in schools and offices in order to hide pipes and air ducts, to give a professional look and comply with safety and health regulations.

In today’s society, where appearance is a key factor in business, it is very important to have a professional edge so that your employees feel they are part of a well-established business. The main reason suspended ceilings were designed was in order to hide and cover ducts and pipes that often stand out like a sore thumb. By hiding these unattractive building elements, the room gives off a much more professional look and it appears more presentable than it would if the pipes were visible.

Sound absorption is another important reason suspended ceilings are used. Depending on the way they are made and the material used means that there is better sound absorption. If you need suspended ceilings that assure better sound absorption, then denser tiles should be used. This way the vibrations caused will be limited, and it would be harder for sound to travel through the tiles. Furthermore, in order to stop sound traveling through, you can add soundproofing material in between the gap of the tiles and the original ceiling. This way the sound will be kept insulated, and other classrooms and offices will remain undisturbed. If further insulation is made, the heat insulation can be achieved, and this way a lot of money on your heating bills will be saved.

Another benefit is that they hide uneven ceilings. If you cover them up with a level ceiling, the slant is gone and an improvement on the look of the room is achieved. By adjusting the grid on installation, any angle can be made. The suspended ceiling also has the advantage of being highly versatile. After the installation, you can always alter them. In order to achieve the look you want, panels can be removed and replaced with different colours and materials. Even if you decide to change the design, it will be easier. You can create fluorescent light panels, and you can install lights anywhere in the room quickly and cheaply.
