ARCHITECTURAL CEILING SYSTEMS

Choose the ceiling by what the space needs.

Eight substantial system guides connect legacy trade knowledge with real project photography, current design considerations, technical coordination and Lower Mainland installation.

Linear Wood Ceilings

Linear wood ceilings create a warm, directional ceiling plane using slats, planks or modular wood-look assemblies. They are commonly used where the ceiling needs to contribute to the architecture rather than disappear into the background, while still coordinating acoustics, lighting, mechanical services and access.

Linear Metal Ceilings

Linear metal ceilings use strips, planks, pans or carrier-supported modules to create precise, durable ceiling lines. They are suited to commercial, institutional and public environments where clean geometry, access, finish durability and service integration are important.

Acoustic Baffles

Acoustic baffles are vertically suspended absorptive elements used to reduce reverberation while keeping much of the structure and mechanical plenum visible. Their spacing, depth, colour and orientation make them both an acoustic treatment and a strong architectural feature.

Open Cell Ceilings

Open-cell ceilings create a continuous visual plane while leaving the plenum substantially open. Modular cells or blades provide screening from normal viewing angles, making these systems useful where designers want ceiling definition without fully concealing structure and services.

Acoustic Clouds

Acoustic clouds are suspended horizontal or shaped absorptive elements that reduce reflected sound while creating visual focus below an open or finished ceiling. They can be used as isolated features, repeated fields or custom forms around lighting and room geometry.

Suspended T-Bar Ceilings

Suspended T-bar ceilings combine an exposed metal suspension grid with lay-in or tegular ceiling panels. They remain one of the most widely used commercial ceiling systems because they provide economical coverage, straightforward service access and a coordinated module for lighting, diffusers and other ceiling components.

Specialty & Custom Ceilings

Specialty ceilings cover architectural forms that do not fit neatly into a standard grid or panel family: islands, canopies, shaped drywall clouds, custom framing, integrated lighting features and hybrid assemblies combining multiple materials and trades.

Acoustic Wall & Ceiling Panels

Acoustic panels add sound absorption to walls and ceilings where hard finishes would otherwise reflect too much sound. Panels may be direct-applied, mechanically fastened, suspended or integrated into a larger feature assembly, with material, edge, joint, impact resistance and mounting method selected for the room.
