Open Cell Ceiling

Open Cell Ceiling Systems feature a grid-like structure that comprises interlocking metal or timber components, allowing for a visually striking design and excellent acoustic performance. This type of ceiling is designed to integrate seamlessly with other ceiling systems, such as metal ceilings and plasterboard ceilings.

Key Specifications:

  • Thickness: Available in 0.4/0.5 mm
  • Humidity Resistance: 100% (Ideal for humid environments)
  • Fire Resistance: Complies with BS476 (Part 4) (Non-flammable classification)

Design and Aesthetics:

Open cell ceilings consist of open spaces or “cells” between panels, which can take various shapes (squares, rectangles, hexagons) and sizes. This creates an opportunity for creative customization and a modern, architectural appeal.

Key Advantages:

  1. 100% Recyclable:

    • Made from aluminum, which is durable, smooth, and entirely recyclable, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
  2. Installation and Plenum Access:

  3. Waste Reduction:

    • Available in standard and custom dimensions, reducing unnecessary waste and saving materials by up to 95%.
  4. Fire Reaction:

    • Classified as Euro class A1, meaning non-flammable and capable of absorbing smoke, thus enhancing visibility for emergency exits during a fire.
  5. Open Area:

    • Offers a variety of models with open areas ranging from 30% to 99%, ensuring compliance with regulations while enhancing aesthetics.
  6. Sound Absorption:

    • Designed to interrupt sound waves with an absorbent component placed above each panel, contributing to better acoustics in spaces.
  7. Hygiene:

    • The lightweight design minimizes dust accumulation, and the panels can be easily cleaned thanks to their installation method.
  8. Flexibility:

    • Aluminum ceilings can be adapted for various applications beyond interiors, including transport, air conditioning, machine tools, and more.

Why Choose Open Cell Metal Ceilings?

Open cell ceilings are not just functional; they are aesthetically pleasing. They offer a modern solution to conceal unsightly elements such as ductwork and cabling while providing design flexibility. The interplay of light and shadow created by the grid enhances the overall feel of the space.

Applications:

  • Particularly beneficial for buildings with limited plenum depth, allowing for a lowered ceiling appearance without altering the actual roof height. Open cell ceilings are perfect for leisure facilities, schools, corporate buildings, and public spaces, where a light and flexible design is needed.

By integrating both functionality and style, Open Cell Ceiling Systems present an ideal solution for modern architectural needs. Their versatility, sustainability, and performance make them an excellent choice for a variety of applications.
