                    Ceiling Rafts

                    What are ceiling rafts?

                    Created primarily with the purpose of creating a calm environment through good sound absorption and acoustics, ceiling rafts are suspended from the original ceiling horizontally. They work well with a range of utility systems, they can look striking or subtle, and their acoustic performance makes for a quiet, balanced room.

                    What are the benefits of using ceiling rafts?

                    Sound absorption

                    Because of the large surface area, ceiling rafts absorb sounds better than lots of other solutions.

                    Ideal for low ceilings

                    Ceiling rafts take up very little space vertically, so they work well on particularly low ceilings.

                    They can fit your aesthetic

                    Ceiling rafts can remain design-led without compromise on performance, functioning practically when you need to access utilities such as air conditioning and lighting.

                    Ventilation and Maintenance

                    Ceiling panels are directly suspended from flat structural soffit or within coffers. This allows for free air movement to the structural slab for natural thermal mass cooling. Due to this airflow solution and the high durability of the panels themselves, very little maintenance is required. Ceiling panels are also suitable both for new build and retrofit projects.

                    Ceiling Raft Design

                    Ceiling rafts make it possible for your building to be both practical and interesting. SAS International offer multiple design options for ceiling rafts. Often, our client’s priority is to open up space in their premises to make it suitable for a busy environment. Ceiling rafts can support this, whilst also adding a dynamic element, allowing you to explore more unique designs and create a sense of movement in a static space.

                    Standard panels are available in curved, flat or angled designs and bespoke design is available for those with aspirations of more unique interiors.

                    Quality and Safety

                    As with all of our products, our ceiling rafts adhere to the highest safety standards. We are proud to have achieved ISO 9001 certification and the superior quality of our products is of the utmost importance.

                    SAS International ceiling panels are also suitable for school buildings that require the meeting of BB93 (Acoustic Design of Schools) standards while balancing the requirements of BB101 (Ventilation of School Buildings). SAS600 provides acoustic absorption under BB93 while allowing sustainable thermal mass cooling to take place.

                    For buildings where ceiling space is limited, you may find our ceiling baffles offer an alternative effective solution to acoustic challenges.

                    What are the different types of ceiling rafts?
