New Suspended Ceiling

New Suspended Ceiling

Client: 5 Ways Business Centre Corsham
Value: £1.8k

The existing suspended ceiling in the corridors of this building were in a fairly typical state. When they were originally installed the people who fitted them used the cheapest possible ceiling tile that you can get and although can look really nice when new, does not have very good properties. The slightest bit of moisture in the roof structure above and the tiles absorb it, and you get a saggging effect in the tile. The sagging is particularly bad visually as can be seen from the photographs below.

On this suspended ceiling new ceiling tiles have been added to, and there was a dis colouration between the new tiles and the existing, which exacerbated the problem of the poor look.

As part of this project we also had to arrange for the existing light fittings to be removed, and then refitted after the new suspended ceiling was installed.

Suspended ceiling problems?

There are many different types of suspended ceilings and the range of tiles now can be quite baffling. The current trend is to focus on sound performance within the office and this can be dealt with by using a special tile.

Suspended ceilings are used for a number of reasons, they are quick to install and mean that all the services required for offices such as pipework for plumbing and air conditioning, as well as power and data can be hidden out of sight. Access to the services is also much easier than using a traditional plasterboard or MF type ceiling as the ceiling tiles just need to be lifted from the grid.

There are many offices with old fissured tiles, with sagging tiles and a mottled grey look they make the office look very dated. We like to fit nice white clean tiles to give a fresh look. There is a further description on one of our blog posts which can be seen by clicking this link.

We have been supplying and fitting suspended ceiling systems as part of our main refurbishment projects for a number of years, if you are not sure on what can be done please give us a call.

Suspended Ceiling

This suspended ceiling project involved two buildings, one very large area and the photograph above showing the front offices. The suspended ceilings were part of a main factory refurbishment project for one of their clients. Working for a Main Contactor meant we had to fit our schedule in with other trades which is always difficult without having tight control on site with every aspect of the project.

Existing photographs

The pictures below show the state of the place when we first looked at it. A considerable amount of debris was on the floors and the main contractor was in the process of dismantling everything and clearing away the site.

Note the fire barrier that we had to install half way down the building.

We did give some advice on the selection of the tile, as the one that was specified was very expensive, and so we chose an alternative which was not much cheaper on the cost per square meter, but on 1200 square meters it made a difference to the customer.  Other areas such as stair wells and the entrance used an MF ceiling construction which is metal framework construction with plasterboard screwed to the frame, taped and jointed and then decorated in a neutral colour.
