Why metal ceiling (Aluminum ceiling) is more and more popular in modern construction ?
by Jacky Wong, GM of DIAMOND
Key words: Metal ceiling, Higher strength, Easier cleaning,Better acoustics, Various appearance, Considerable cost-effectiveness
# Higher strength
Compared with traditional drop ceiling materials, such as gypsum, PVC and wood, the metal coil are stronger and less prone to crack and break. When installing the ceiling tiles, most building also need to require to proceed other jobs like running wires, conduits and install environmental controllers. In addition, the cameras and other security components are also assembled onto the ceiling. All these items need an regular maintenance and occasional repairing. So the metal ceiling material would be a huge advantage to be able to access the subroof without fearing of ceiling tiles broken when operators need to open and step through them. Metal ceilings are also moisture resistant which mitigates staining and crumbling from leaks.
# Easier cleaning
Thanks to the metal coil material, the metal ceiling itself is clean and plain, the ceiling tiles can be painted in different colors, wildly applied to modern building, especially for office building, meeting room, etc. And even if tiles got a little dusty, just clean it with cloth, as easy as cleaning the window.
# Better acoustics
The acoustics effect of metal ceiling is good, but with some other acoustics materials on it, say non-woven cloth or mineral wool, the effect of sound insulation would be excellent, specially for the perforated ceiling tiles. The practice shows that metal ceilings are perfectly capable of absorbing and redirecting sound. It’s better not underestimate this sound absorbing problem. It is important to consider and pay attention to 15% of high-frequency hearing loss because of noise exposure at work and during leisure activities.
# Various appearance
Metal ceilings are available to make in a wild variety of styles, textures and finishes. Metal can be coated with any color as you like and be bent or cut into any shapes you designed, even double curved like this one below.
From my view, I think the most important is that metal material is very easy to make into different shapes with various designs. A unique and special appearance can be created by designing the underlying supports in curve structures or by creating different heights.
# Considerable cost-effectiveness
Metal ceilings are much cost effective. Based on our experience, metal ceiling quality is durable, can be last as long as 10 years no broken, also are easy maintenance. For example, if some ceiling parts broken or twisted when you change the light or something else, then just need to replace the twisted one with new ceiling tiles, won’t add too much extra cost.
