Episode 234: The advantages of using metal ceilings in transport infrastructure hubs


Listen Later

Transport infrastructure projects, such as airports and railway stations, are complex buildings with demanding requirements for functionality, longevity, and durability.

Most transport hubs operate around the clock and are expected to last for decades while also being subject to heavy foot and equipment traffic.

Airports and railway stations are architecturally complex structures, placing high demands on functionality, aesthetics, and performance. 

As a ceiling material, metal offers design flexibility as well as aesthetic and performance benefits. Taking a variety of forms – from planks and panels to curved beams and perforated options – metal can transform a space into a striking piece of modern architecture.  

So how do metal ceilings fulfil vital functions, providing light, managing interior acoustics, while concealing and interfacing with electrical and mechanical services, while delivering a functional environment that people are comfortable in?
