Metal ceilings aren’t just about overhead function. They’re a design statement that blends style, function and innovation in any space.
CertainTeed’s architectural metal ceilings and systems let you combine creativity, durability and acoustic performance for spaces that truly stand out. If you’re new to the world of metal ceilings, keep reading for a breakdown of the top CertainTeed systems, expert tips for installation and advice for choosing the solution for your space.
Why Choose CertainTeed Metal Ceilings?
There are many reasons to believe in CertainTeed metal ceilings. Here are the top reasons we think they’re a reliable choice for interior and exterior projects:
- Customizable design: Whether you want sleek linear planks, curved baffles or geometric patterns, CertainTeed’s modular systems allow for creative layouts that enhance any interior.
- Access and maintenance: Many panels, like Torsion Spring and Hook-On, swing or lift for full plenum access. That makes them perfect for commercial spaces that need ongoing maintenance.
- Acoustics and comfort: Systems such as PLAZA™ Honeycomb and HeartFelt™ Linear Ceilings combine style with noise reduction that can be typical of open, commercial spaces.
- Durability: Exterior options like 300C Linear Planks, Deep Box Series and Torsion Spring Exterior are engineered to handle the elements while maintaining their clean aesthetic.
When Picking A Metal Ceiling For A Project, What Should I Look For?
When it comes to picking your metal ceiling, keep these four things in mind:
- Define your goal early: What is your priority? Common goals include acoustics, aesthetics, plenum access or exterior durability.
- Play your layout: You’ll want to measure carefully to maximize flow and symmetry. Luckily, when it comes to CertainTeed systems, they support curves, polygons and large-format panels.
- Select your style: This is highly dependent on the space you’re designing for. If you have a busy commercial space, opt for swing-down or Hook-On systems. For flair, you might explore the Tavola series for artistic texture.
- Always check materials specs: Many panels offer recycled content, low-VOC finishes or specialty coatings for interior or exterior durability.
