Ceilings & Suspended Ceilings: Acoustics, Insulation, Fire Protection and Accessibility
The roof is the largest unobstructed surface in a space — and the only one that nobody touches. That is why it is where solutions are found for issues that cannot be accommodated elsewhere: acoustics, thermal insulation beneath a flat roof or pitched roof, fire protection for the load-bearing structure, and the air-conditioning, fire-extinguishing and lighting systems. The first question is whether the ceiling will be closed or accessible, and the rest follows from that. Here you will find a guide to selecting suspended ceiling systems, closed plasterboard ceilings with thermal insulation, perforated acoustic plasterboard and fibre-free sound absorption for offices, metal suspended ceilings for hospitals, laboratories and clean rooms, as well as ceiling cladding in garages and entrance halls using wood wool and stone wool panels. ARGYNET specifies the suspension system, panels and insulation, and calculates material requirements per m².
