Office Ceilings
When deciding on the most suitable type of ceiling in your office, essentially your choice lies between a Grid Ceiling and a full Plasterboard Ceiling. Below are some pros and cons of each type to help you make a decision.
Grid Ceiling
If your preference is to go with a Grid Ceiling for your Office Fitout, there are advantages and disadvantages you need to consider and the Glass Partitions team is here to help!
One of the biggest advantages of a Grid Ceiling is the virtually unlimited choice of Ceiling Tile materials. They could be Vinyl, Acoustic, Perspex, Timber Veneer and many, many more. The other significant benefit of Grid Ceilings is the easy replacement of individual tiles when necessary. This could be for spot repairs or when vacating premises and making good.
Removal of individual tiles is also handy when reconfiguring ceiling fixtures to suit the new office layout or needing to access any of the services such as plumbing and electrical located within the ceiling.
Some of the key disadvantages of a Grid Ceiling are the less attractive appearance when compared to a Suspended Ceiling in addition to the fact that if you want to give your Grid Ceiling a “new look”, you need to replace ALL of the tiles, rather than simply give it a coat of an attractive, new paint colour.
Suspended Plasterboard Ceiling
Are you perhaps thinking of using a Suspended Plasterboard Ceiling for your Commercial Office Fitout instead? As with the Grid Ceilings, there are pros and cons to weigh up and once again, our knowhow and expert guidance will ensure you are well informed to make the choice that is ideal for your circumstances.
Suspended Plasterboard Ceilings are generally more attractive and allow you a choice between Shadow Lines, Cornices and other ways to finish around the perimeter of your ceiling. You will also have far more freedom with the choice and placement of Downlights, Speakers, Airconditioning Vents and other ceiling fixtures.
Ability to paint a suspended ceiling into any colour of your choice, can turn it into a real feature and add great character to the entire room!
Of course, there are also some negatives to consider with Plasterboard Ceilings. Such as the difficulties and extra cost of spot repairs as you will typically need to paint the entire ceiling. Also, in trying to achieve symmetrical placement of Downlights or other ceiling fixtures, you will need to work around the hidden metal frame that the suspended ceiling is fixed to.
