The Hunter Douglas range of ceiling solutions allows architects to explore designs with a variety of materials including metal, textiles and wood.
The wide range of systems, colours and finishes offers true freedom of design, all from a single source, adding good design, functionality and comfort to buildings.
Hunter Douglas high grade aluminium ceiling and wall panels are ideal for use in swimming pool and exterior applications, being highly corrosion resistant and durable.
There are a wide variety of coil coated paint finishes available from both the interior and exterior panel range.
The company pioneered suspended metal ceilings forty years ago and continues to ensure architects have the solutions they need to build the projects they want. With metal ceilings in aluminium, steel, copper and stretch metal, in types ranging from linear and wide panel to open cell, curved and tile, the only limits are in your imagination.
An example of the successful installation of a bespoke ceiling system is the state of the art Inspire Sports Village in Luton, which opened its doors to the public in August.
Developed by the Luton Learning and Community Partnership Ltd, the centre is equipped to cater for all kinds of sports enthusiasts. Boasting a competition standard, eight lane pool and a 10m world class diving platform, Luton is now home to one of the best aquatic centres in the country.
S&P Architects approached Hunter Douglas with a view to specifying their wall panels for the centre's eight and five lane swimming pools. Designed to reduce sound pressure levels and reverberation time, the panels are ideal for swimming pool projects. The product also minimised the complexity of the ceiling build which in turn reduced cost and installation time.
Developers working on the Inspire project were keen to specify sustainable building materials. The eco-friendly properties of the Hunter Douglas ceiling and wall panels suited their design requirements.
