CEILINGS
Suspended Ceilings:
Grantly Commercial Limited has the ability to design
and construct ceiling systems of all types and complexity, from modular
grid right through to a sophisticated, purpose built, high performance
ceiling systems.
With access to a vast range of modern components,
we can provide ceiling solutions to meet any performance specification
and budget.
Types of Suspended Ceilings
we provide:
Mineral Fibre
Available in a range of different textures, mineral
fibre ceilings generally provide good acoustic performance. Fire
resistance can be achieved. Usually this type of partition is laid
into an exposed modular suspension system but it can also be adapted
for concealed construction.
ormally provided with a white finish however, special
colours can be ordered. Modern tiles now provide excellent humidity
resistance.
Mineral Wool
Mineral Wool suspended ceilings are a popular first
choice for many contractors due to excellent performance characteristics
in use and in the event of fire. Recently, green issues have become
a significant factor in its selection.
Stability: Mineral
Wool is a stable product even under a wide range of temperatures
and retains its thermal performance throughout the lifetime of a
building.
Energy: During
a lifetime of 50 yrs Mineral Wool typically saves more than a 1,000
times the quantity of energy used to make it. With efficient manufacturing
process and strict environmental controls Mineral Wool has lower
embodied energy and yields greater environmental returns than many
other insulants.
Metal
Metal systems offer a number of significant advantages
over conventional mineral fibre which should be taken into account
before specifying:
Low Life Cycle Cost: Metal
systems are manufactured to the highest standards from intrinsically
durable materials be it steel or aluminium. A polyester powder coating
process protects against corrosion, providing a washable, humidity
resistant finish. The anticipated life span of a metal system is
in excess of 25years, which, at a price comparable to mid range mineral
tiles, offers very low life cycle costs.
Acoustic Control High: An
extensive range of perforation patterns combined with acoustic infill,
allow precise sound absorption and specialised performances criteria
to be achieved. Infills can be varied without changing the overall
appearance of the ceiling to allow variations of acoustic performance
for specific areas.
Aesthetic Versatility & Access: The
ceilings appearance can be varied in terms of perforation pattern,
finish, size and shape. Metal ceilings offer easy access for service
maintenance with a number of systems featuring hinged down mechanisms
making access even simpler. Panels can be supplied with factory formed
apertures to allow easy on site installation of luminaries, smoke
detectors and air grills.
Recyclable Product Steel: is
the most recyclable material, with 5 to 6 million tonnes of steel
recycled every year in the UK alone. The rising costs of landfill
and significant residual value of such a recyclable product offers
obvious environmental and cost benefits when the products finally
need to be disposed of.
