Why Metal Ceiling?


Metal ceiling is more and more popular in modern construction and in refurbishment because of its excellent performance levels all round. It is considered a superior solution compared to traditional mineral board ceiling or plaster board ceiling due to their design and functional advantages.


Here are some reasons:


1. Longevity and easy maintenance. Metal panels are stronger and less prone to cracks and breaks. Within the ceiling void most buildings run wiring, conduits, and install environmental controls, cameras, and other security components. All these items need regular maintenance and occasional repair. Being able to access the sub-roof without fear of breaking ceiling tiles by opening them or stepping through them is a big advantage of metal. Metal ceilings are also moisture resistant which mitigates staining and crumbling from leaks.


2. Easy installation. Metal ceiling tiles are typically nailed into place using special nails which fit in with the tile’s design.  Metal ceiling manufacturers can sell you both the tiles and the nails directly, so it’s super easy to just click them together. Also, metal tiles are much lighter and less demanding than plaster ceilings. The entire process takes less time and less labor.


3. Heat conductivity and fire-resistant. Metal is excellent at conducting hot and cold air, which means it can essentially absorb the temperature from the vent and radiate it across its entire surface area, thus changing the temperature much faster. So, it has a higher resistance to fire. Incredibly safer and it also helps defray utility costs through more efficient heating and cooling.


4. Appearance. Metal ceiling come in an amazing variety of styles, textures, and finishes, shades. And metal can be coated with any color you like and can be made to resemble anything from antique tin roof squares to a soft smooth finish in your signature colors. So it provides architects and designers with versatile options and flexibility to create an aesthetically pleasing environment or impressive visual impact in spaces to suit any stylistic layout or theme.


5. Better Acoustics performance. The acoustic comfort in an office space, school or public building contributes to our well-being as poor acoustic performance can affect health, communication, safety, productivity, and learning. Metal ceilings offer enhanced acoustics which can be substantially improved with the addition of special acoustic pads; thus, they can help absorb or redirect sound so we don’t create an echo chamber.


6. Low cost. Metal ceilings may be more expensive at initial stage, but the superior durability translates into lower costs during the life cycle of the product. And when we compare metal tiles to the cost of using plaster to create similar decorations and patterns, and how many options there are, we’ll notice that metal ceiling has a very reasonable price tag.


With so many good reasons, it’s obvious to see why it’s a trend to see metal ceilings as an upgrade over more conventional alternatives. Right now, there are many famous ceiling brands on the markets. Here we have listed for you the main players.
