APPLICATIONS BY INDUSTRY

Where can acoustic ceiling systems help?

Offices, hospitality and learning spaces have different acoustic needs. Start with the activity, the people and the room, then develop the treatment around the brief.

Where do ceiling rafts and baffles fit in offices?

Rafts and baffles place acoustic treatment overhead where glazing or other features limit wall space. They can help manage reflected sound above shared work areas, with lighting, ventilation and access coordinated alongside them. Open-plan speech distraction also needs a wider layout strategy.

Can ceiling treatment help restaurants and cafés?

Ceiling baffles, clouds and rafts can help reduce reverberant noise build-up from conversations and activity during busy periods. The result depends on the room, coverage and selected assembly; coordinate suspension, cleaning, lighting and building services around the space.

Can ceiling systems support learning spaces?

Ceiling absorption can help control reverberation and support speech clarity in classrooms and teaching spaces. Review room volume, background noise, activity and the selected system. Auditoriums and performance spaces need a brief suited to their particular uses, rather than the same target as a classroom.

Product suitability, coverage and the acoustic outcome depend on the material, construction, mounting and room. Confirm the evidence for the proposed configuration.

01 / INTERLOCKING CEILING FORMS

NexusFlow

Lightweight elements become a three-dimensional ceiling through folded geometry and precision-cut interlocking parts. The collection ranges from open grids and linear baffles to sculptural clouds, allowing the overhead plane to respond to both the room and its architectural intent.

Materials
Recycled PET, with EcoXan options described in the catalogue.
Construction
Folded and interlocking elements; depth and spacing depend on the chosen design.
Coordination
Develop suspension, lighting, airflow, access and service interfaces together.
Finish approach
Colour, print and woodgrain-effect options to be confirmed for the selected material.

The ceiling as an
active surface.

A ceiling can shape the acoustic character and visual rhythm of an entire room.

ATR develops ceiling forms around the space, its intended acoustic outcome and the architectural composition. Geometry, material, spacing, suspension and access are considered together — from a configured system to a bespoke overhead feature.

DESIGNED AROUND THE BRIEF

Overhead, considered.

Acoustic intent

Match coverage, material and form to the required behaviour of the space.

Geometric expression

Use repetition, depth and shape to work with the architectural language.

Integrated delivery

Coordinate suspension, lighting, services, access and installation early in the design process.

Performance depends on the assembly.

Acoustic classifications and other technical statements should be confirmed for the actual material, geometry, air gap and mounting arrangement specified. ATR can help define the evidence needed for the proposed ceiling configuration.
