Drop ceilings in Walsall

A suspended ceiling is a dropped false ceiling that typically comes in two or three styles. • Acoustic ceilings: These ceilings utilise acoustic tiles that absorb, block, or disperse sound. Installing tiles with a high noise reduction coefficient (NRC) can significantly reduce noise from rooms above and help minimise echoes, making them ideal for large, open-plan workspaces. • Thermal ceilings: These tiles help retain heat and maintain consistent room temperatures. By improving insulation, these ceilings contribute to energy savings, which is increasingly important in today’s environmentally conscious society. • Wipeable ceilings: Perfect for environments that require high hygiene standards, these ceilings can be sealed and installed, making them suitable for food preparation areas, commercial kitchens, care homes, hospitals, and laboratories.

We specialise in the installation of lay-in grid modular systems. This system consists of a metal frame, often made of steel, attached to the ceiling or joists above, allowing tiles to be installed within the framework. This design is perfect for integrating LED light panels into the drop ceiling, delivering a quality lighting solution.

Suspended ceiling tiles are built with a mineral fibre product with fire-protective properties which works in line with an active fire safety system (such as sprinklers and alarms) and sound fire safety practices.

Installation time depends on the surface area of the interior space. For a small area of approximately 50 square metres, installation typically takes up to two days, equivalent to the size of two or three lounges. For an accurate quote and specific timeframe, AA Direct Suspended Ceilings Specialists can measure your ceiling area and provide tailored pricing.

No, suspended ceilings can cover large areas, as they are suspended from the ceiling or joists above.

Suspended ceiling tiles come in different colours, patterns, and sizes, typically square in shape. With various acoustic, thermal, and hygiene qualities, it is possible to install a drop ceiling that meets the many requirements of interior design and architecture. This provides ample options within retail, office, education, and healthcare environments, among others.

Ideally, a void space of at least 150mm should be maintained. This clearance allows for essential factors like airflow, lighting and electrical installations, and insulation.

Yes, a fresh coat of paint can restore an old and tired drop ceiling. We also offer a decorating service along with our ceiling installation and office refurbishment work.

Both emulsion and gloss paint can be applied. However, it’s advisable to check whether painting may affect acoustic properties. If in doubt, please contact us.

Yes, suspended ceilings possess fire-retardant qualities. We are happy to provide advice on the capabilities of materials before installation begins.
