Metal ceilings are an efficient and practical system for countless uses.. Its high aesthetic value and ability to be a balancing factor in the design “mess” of a space.
Metal ceilings are durable and maintain a pleasant and beautiful appearance even after years of maintenance work on the system above the ceiling.
The proportion (perforation) of the metal tiles that make up the ceiling is the secret to the quality of acoustic insulation it provides. A simple rule of thumb that makes it easy to understand: the higher the percentage of perforations in the metal tile, the greater the acoustic value of the metal ceiling (up to a certain limit, of course). However, there are other variables that affect the quality of insulation, and they should not be taken lightly. First, the raw material from which the metal ceiling is made may vary according to planning and budgetary considerations – the density of the material (aluminum and synthetic alloys) affects the weight of the ceiling, as well as their perforation angles and pattern. In addition, since the metal ceiling serves as a partition that hides technical components – electronic wiring, air conditioning piping, and lighting fixtures – its load-bearing capacity is a relevant variable that must be taken into account when choosing the raw material for the tiles.
The density of the metal also has an effect on the perforation itself – on the texture and type of perforation, and these, in turn, are also relevant in designing noise absorption in the space.
The perforation pattern, which will constitute 50% of the tile, will affect the metal ceiling’s ability to absorb noise from sections of the space or from the entire space, that is, to create isolated internal acoustics between sections in a completely open or partially open space.
Today we present innovative solutions such as the EXPANDED ceiling, which not only provides originality, but also a three-dimensional appearance in a variety of patterns and densities.
