Ceilings carry more services than most people realise. Lighting, smoke detection, sprinklers, AV, comfort cooling, displacement vents. The ceiling has to coordinate all of it without ending up as a patchwork of trims and offsets. That coordination starts at the take-off, not on site.
We install the full range of suspended ceiling systems, from concealed-grid plasterboard ceilings on commercial offices through to high-performance acoustic rafts in lecture theatres. Every system is set out from a coordinated reflected ceiling plan, signed off before the first hanger goes in.
Plasterboard MF ceilings
Continuous flat ceilings, bulkheads, dropped reveals and curved soffits. We use British Gypsum CasoLine MF and Knauf MF systems with primary and secondary channels at 1200mm and 400mm centres respectively. Tested fire-rated build-ups are used where required, with the system reference logged against each ceiling type on the drawings.
Grid ceilings
Exposed Tegular, semi-concealed and fully concealed grid systems from Rockfon, Ecophon and Zentia. Tile selection is driven by the acoustic class needed (αw rating), the humidity tolerance, the fire rating and the visual design intent. We are happy to value-engineer at tender stage where the spec is over-engineered for the room.
Acoustic rafts and baffles
Where reflected ceilings need to stay exposed, free-hanging rafts and vertical baffles are used to bring reverberation under control without losing the visible soffit. We coordinate the suspension with the M&E layout and the lighting strategy.
Setting out and coordination
We work to the architect’s reflected ceiling plan and verify it against the M&E coordination model before installation. Any clashes are flagged and resolved in pre-construction, not on the platform.
