Ceiling Systems

Focused guides for this part of the commercial project.

Suspended ceilings in commercial buildings

Suspended ceilings create an accessible plenum while providing a finished surface for offices, schools, healthcare and retail.

Acoustic ceiling tile (ACT)

ACT is widely used because it combines a finished appearance, replaceability and sound-absorption options.

Mineral-fiber ceiling panels

Mineral-fiber panels are common in offices, schools and institutional spaces across many acoustic and visual grades.

Fiberglass acoustic ceiling panels

Fiberglass panels can provide high sound absorption with lightweight construction and varied surface facings.

Metal commercial ceilings

Metal ceiling panels and linear systems are used where durability, design, cleanability or repeated access are priorities.

Wood and wood-look commercial ceilings

Wood ceilings add warmth and architectural identity in offices, hospitality, civic and education spaces.

Open ceilings and exposed building services

Open ceilings expose structure, ductwork, piping and cable systems instead of hiding them above tile.

Acoustic ceiling clouds and baffles

Clouds and baffles add sound-absorbing surface area without creating a continuous ceiling.

Hygienic and washable commercial ceilings

Healthcare, food and laboratory environments may need ceilings with cleanable surfaces or controlled particulate performance.

Moisture- and humidity-resistant ceiling systems

High humidity can cause staining, sagging or corrosion when a ceiling system is poorly matched to the environment.

Gypsum-board ceilings in commercial interiors

Gypsum ceilings create a continuous finished surface where a monolithic appearance is desired.
