Metal Ceiling Clouds
dur-solo clouds are crafted from perforated galvanized steel, aluminum, or stainless steel, providing floating rafts of sound absorption. They come in various finishes like powder-coated, anodized, or mirror polished, and can even be digitally printed. You can choose from a range of standard or custom perforation patterns. Additionally, clouds can be made using expanded metal mesh.
Cloud ceilings serve as a fantastic way to break the monotony of a ceiling’s visual appearance. They offer flexibility for incorporating and accessing HVAC, sprinklers, and lighting systems. Clouds are particularly suitable for radiant or chilled ceilings. These ceiling systems are commonly found in open offices, lobbies, conference rooms, and classrooms.
Each individual cloud panel can measure up to 4’ x 12’, and panels can be joined together to form larger, seamless elements. The panels are also available with cutouts and/or channels for lighting and HVAC integration. Edge panels are offered with finished perimeters in square and knife-edge profiles, eliminating the need for trim. Modifications to returns allow for deeper or shallower expressions. Suspension is typically achieved with threaded rods or wire. All supports are recessed, fully concealing the vertical support elements.
Clouds come with a fleece backing, achieving an acoustic rating of NRC 0.75, but adding a fiberglass or similar backing material can boost the rating to NRC 1.00.
