Metal Ceilings
Metal ceiling systems have evolved significantly since their introduction in the late 19th century. Initially popular for their durability and fire resistance, they became a hallmark of architectural beauty in commercial buildings. Over the decades, technological advancements have led to more intricate designs and easier installation methods, making metal ceilings a versatile choice for modern architecture.
Aluminum is the preferred material for metal ceiling systems due to its lightweight nature, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance. Its flexibility allows for diverse design options, including baffle and linear ceilings, in both suspended and direct mount configurations. Additionally, aluminum ceilings can be engineered for superior acoustical performance, providing sound absorption and noise reduction in various commercial and residential settings.
Today, Longboard offers a range of aluminum ceiling solutions, focusing on linear and baffle designs. The Endura Linear system features sleek, linear planks that are easy to install, suitable for various interior designs. The Intrepid Beam provides robust linear ceiling beams designed for both aesthetic appeal and ease of installation, using the Link & Lock™ hidden fastener system for seamless installation.
For baffle ceilings, the Dauntless system features extruded aluminum baffles that create a modern open-joint aesthetic, ideal for creative installations and easy access to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) components. The Intrepid Baffle uses architectural battens, ensuring a secure, adaptable solution suitable for seismic installations, providing a blend of durability and design sophistication.
