Q&A with Steven Fraser, Ceiling Systems Manager at Network Architectural

As the demand for sustainable building solutions intensifies, metal ceilings are becoming increasingly popular. With their remarkable recyclability and longevity, they are emerging as a smart choice for the forward-thinking and environmentally conscious. Steven Fraser unpacks the environmental potential of metal ceilings and talk about what makes durlum a real stand-out in this space.

Human-Centric Lighting

Incorporating Human-Centric Lighting (HCL) into ceilings can have a profound impact on the day-to-day lives of occupants. When artificial light is synchronised with our natural circadian rhythms it can lead to improved sleep, mood regulation, and overall wellbeing. In this whitepaper, we illuminate the often-neglected physiological and psychological effects of lighting and look at how HCL systems can be seamlessly integrated into metal ceiling structures without compromising on design.

Metal Ceilings for Retail Spaces

While the COVID-19 pandemic changed the world irrevocably, physical retail stores still retain their resilience and lasting appeal. Ceilings impact everything, from aesthetics, branding and ambiance to lighting, indoor comfort, and spatial organisation, which makes their design integral to achieving a retail space that customers will want to return to. This whitepaper discusses the advantages of fully integrated ceilings for retail environments.
