Buildings Shouldn’t Have to be Boring!
Many commercial buildings are built strictly to satisfy their function, their utilitarian needs. These buildings lack inspired designs. They feature white or off-white single-color walls with no interesting shapes or textures. The walls are conventional and flat. While these buildings perform well in housing the staff and projects, they are not very interesting to look at. This contributes to the overall blandness common in many urban designs. Products like Ceilings Plus metal ceilings can change this. They can easily be used to create dramatic interiors in every project you design without breaking the bank.
Ceilings Plus panels are designed around a lightweight recycled aluminum core covered with different finishes, including painted finishes, solid, perforated and wood-veneered designs in an array of shapes and sizes, allowing interesting patterns to be created in either two or three dimensions. They offer unprecedented design flexibility, and are economical, lightweight and durable.
Here are just a few of the ways that Ceilings Plus products can make your building’s design much more exciting:
#1 Unique Metal Ceiling Finishes and Textures
Common commercial wall finishes often feature standard primary colors, such as white or off-white, without any variety, and without any interesting textures. With Ceilings Plus panels, you can choose from a wide variety of finishes and textures that add depth and excitement to a room, and can be mixed and matched to create interesting eye-catching designs.
There are more than eight types of natural-looking metal finishes available. These include stainless, silver, and annealed steel. Several specialty white finishes with reflective properties are also designed to enhance ambient lighting. Custom painted panels are available in thousands of colors. There are more than 32 varieties of wood veneers or laminates. These combine the natural look of wood, such as cherry, maple, oak, or pine, with the lightweight and durable aluminum core standard in all Ceilings Plus panels.
Each panel can be customized with perforations to enhance the acoustics or lighting in a room, and panels with multiple shapes, sizes and finishes can be mixed to create custom designs.
#2 Metal Curves, Domes or Waves
Ceilings in a commercial building do not need to be flat, as they often are. By incorporating curves and other interesting shapes, you can create excitement in the room and cover unsightly details like air ducts, HVAC equipment, wiring and lighting systems naturally, without the standard suspended ceiling installation common in most commercial buildings.
Ceilings Plus panels are available in three-dimensional, curved patterns, waves, and domed shapes. These options give your building a unique look and allow you to create a truly distinctive design. The Radians collection by Ceilings Plus can create nearly any type of curved, three-dimensional design. This includes vast elliptical domed ceilings and gentle curves rising from the outer walls to the center of the room. The Radians panels are available in all the standard finishes, and a variety of curves and patterns can be mixed together to create unique effects and designs that give a room depth and unique character.
#3 Shaped Panels
Common suspended ceiling panels found in commercial buildings are either square or rectangular panels. There is often not much variety, and they are only available in a few limited colors.
With Ceilings Plus panels from the Illusions series, you can expand your design opportunities with panels available in thousands of color, texture and finish options, as well as a variety of two dimensional shapes, including squares, rectangles, triangles, parallelograms, trapezoids, rhombi, pentagons, hexagons, and a variety of other unique standard or custom shapes.
The panels can be used together with a variety of colors and finishes to create unique two-dimensional designs on flat surfaces. When combined with specialized mounting systems, they can also create amazing three-dimensional patterns and structures. The Illusions series offers virtually unlimited design possibilities. These panels are available in all standard finishes, with or without perforations for light and sound control.
#4 Innovative Linear Metal Ceilings
Many commercial buildings feature linear ceilings instead of suspended panels, using wood boards, metals or composites installed lengthwise. Ceilings Plus offers an alternative to standard linear ceilings with its Barz, Planx, and Mirra series. These series feature panels designed to look like two-dimensional boards or three-dimensional collections of beams, slats, boards, and other elements. They are available in a number of finishes, including natural-looking wood veneers or laminates, custom-painted colors, and a variety of metal finishes.
Barz and Planx offer the unique look of wood boards, beams, slats, and other elements without the extra weight. They do not shrink, expand, warp, or twist like natural wood. These materials are stronger and longer-lasting than ceilings made from natural wood. They are also not subject to water damage or humidity problems.
The Mirra series of linear ceiling panels are the metal-finished version of the Planx panels. These panels come in a variety of natural-looking metal finishes and colors. Barz, Planx, and Mirra panels can be mixed and matched together. They can also be combined with other Ceilings Plus panels to create truly unique designs, as well as custom shapes and patterns.
#5 Custom Accessories
Ceilings Plus offers a variety of panels, parts, and accessories. In addition to two-dimensional and three-dimensional shaped panels, they provide linear metal ceilings and other standard ceiling panels. The Multiples series includes square or rectangular panels with various finishes and colors. It also offers three different mounting systems for standard suspended ceilings.
