A ceiling that works
for your space
The suspended ceiling conceals ducts, cables and pipework, integrates lighting, ventilation and fire detection, and corrects the acoustics of the room. Choosing the right one shapes the comfort and look of the whole fit-out.
CBI installs plasterboard ceilings (smooth, with lighting coves, recessed), acoustic ceilings in mineral tiles or perforated timber, metal ceilings and suspended acoustic rafts.
We coordinate the electricians, heating engineers and ventilation contractors so that cut-outs, spotlights and grilles are fitted in the right place, first time.
Sound absorption
Sound-absorbing tiles and panels (class A to C depending on the product) to reduce reverberation in open-plan offices, classrooms and restaurants.
Accessibility
Demountable tiles and access hatches to reach services without damaging the ceiling.
Services integration
Cut-outs for spotlights, linear luminaires, ventilation grilles, detectors, sprinklers and movable wall tracks.
Fire safety
Fire-rated ceilings in special boards and compartmented plenums in line with the Swiss AEAI/VKF fire safety regulations.
Four families of ceilings
Plasterboard ceilings
Plasterboard on a metal frame, smooth painted finish, lighting coves, recesses and bulkheads. The continuous, elegant finish of reception areas and executive offices.
Acoustic ceilings
Mineral tiles, wood fibre, perforated timber or slats: noise absorption and demountable tiles for access to services. The standard for offices and schools.
Metal and technical ceilings
Metal tiles, planks and trays, heating and cooling ceilings, technical ceilings for server rooms and laboratories.
Acoustic rafts and baffles
Elements suspended beneath an exposed concrete slab: targeted acoustic correction above workstations or tables, with a contemporary look.
