Linear Acoustic Ceilings

Striking, functional, and, in many cases, budget friendly; the linear ceiling is something we’re proud to supply and install here at SAS International.

What is a linear ceiling?

A linear ceiling is made up of metal panels, affixed with pre-installed clips. Panels can be consistent in size, or vary to create a unique and contemporary look. Linear ceilings can differ in design and material, but they all have one thing in common; the gaps between the panels, which create that sense of space above the ceiling, bringing depth and character to a room.

What is a linear acoustic ceiling?

In addition to transforming the look of a space, a linear acoustic ceiling can change the way sound travels within it too, which makes it perfect for commercial applications. The way that sound travels throughout a room can impact the comfort of those within it. Our linear metal ceiling system absorbs and redirects sound through the room, which hugely improves the acoustics.

What are the benefits of linear acoustic ceilings?

The benefits of linear acoustic ceilings are both practical and aesthetic, providing a best-of-both-worlds ceiling solution to businesses, retail premises, and even publicly used buildings such as train stations. Here are the main benefits of commercial linear acoustic ceilings:

A clean, modern look

There’s no doubt about it; linear ceilings bring a contemporary feel to a space. From elongating it with long, slender panels, to bringing in depth through the gaps between them, linear ceilings can really complete a room in a way that generic ceiling tiles just can’t.

Sound absorption

Whilst the hustle and bustle of a busy office is somewhat unavoidable, there are ways you can reduce the disturbance to those that need to get their head down, or have a quiet meeting - and linear acoustic ceilings are a brilliant way to do this.

Ease of installation

We know that disruption to your commercial space is something you could do without, which is what makes linear ceilings an attractive option. Not only are they good to look at, but they’re quick and easy to install too, with pre-fixed clips that allow them to slot into place with ease.

Space for smoke extraction and lighting

Smoke detectors are a must, and linear ceilings can accommodate them discreetly, without impacting their function; ideal for use in corridors and high traffic areas. This goes for lighting too; it can be subtly included to be a natural part of the ceiling, for a seamless look.

How do you manage linear acoustic ceiling installation?

We know that each project is different, and the time and effort involved in a linear ceiling installation depends on the size of the installation, the materials used, and the other works happening at the same time.

We ensure that we work closely with business owners and project managers to ensure not only the perfect type of linear acoustic ceiling for the application, but a smooth installation of it too.
