Suspended Ceilings

Suspended ceilings are the most common ceiling solution for offices and commercial spaces. They are quick to install, easy to maintain and are available in a wide range of finishes. Using a suspended ceiling allows you to choose the height of your rooms and to neatly conceal any wiring or duct work that is needed to make your office work while allowing access for upgrades and maintenance.

There are a range of systems available for installing suspended ceilings including lay in, concealed grid and metal pan. At Barnes Interiors we can supply and install suspended ceilings from all of the leading manufacturers. Barnes Interiors are an AMF Premier Contacted Dealer and Armstrong Omega Approved Contractor.

When many people think of suspended ceilings they think of white ceiling tiles and strip lighting. While this is still a popular format for suspended ceilings they are now available in a much wider range of finished and with a much wider range of lighting systems. Many of the suspended ceiling manufacturers we work with now offer ceiling panels in wood and metal finishes, as well as a broad range of colours.

Studies have shown that good acoustics can improve motivation levels by up to 60% and improve concentration levels by up to 50%. This is why ceiling panels with specific acoustic properties are becoming ever more popular. For environments such as schools and call centres where there will be a lot of background noise having appropriate acoustic ceiling panels installed can also make a real difference to the quality of conversations you can have. If you are looking for ways to improve the efficiency of your office then acoustic ceilings should be on your to-do list.
