Podcast: The Advantages of using Metal Ceilings in Transport Infrastructure Hubs
Discover how metal ceilings enhance transport infrastructure hubs by offering durability, design flexibility, and performance benefits. Paul Sheehan and Steven Fraser from Network Architectural discuss the advantages in this episode of Talking Architecture & Design.
Transport infrastructure projects, such as airports and railway stations, are among the most complex building types, requiring durability, longevity, and high functionality. These hubs operate around the clock, enduring heavy foot traffic and constant wear while needing to maintain both aesthetic and operational excellence.
Metal ceilings provide an ideal solution, offering design flexibility alongside acoustic, lighting, and performance benefits. Available in various forms—planks, panels, curved beams, and perforated options—metal ceilings not only enhance the architectural appeal of transport hubs but also contribute to a functional and comfortable environment.
But how do metal ceilings meet these demands? How do they manage acoustics, integrate lighting, and seamlessly conceal mechanical and electrical services while supporting the daily operations of busy transport hubs?
In this episode of Talking Architecture & Design, Paul Sheehan, Ceiling Division Manager, and Steven Fraser, Ceiling Systems Manager at Network Architectural, discuss these questions and more.
