Affordable Flutes™ is manufactured from CNC manufacturing equipment that produces modular ceiling panels quickly and with precision. Computer-controlled CNC machinery reduces the production time and lowers the cost of metal ceilings. Finishes Ceilings Plus offers a wide variety of finishes applied to aluminum. Ceilings Plus will explore unique finish selections by the request of the architect. Consult factory for possibilities. Metal Ceilings Plus manufacturers from painted, anodized aluminum and stainless steel. Other unique metal finishes are available. See Metal Finishes. Wood Ceilings Plus has developed two new wood finishes which easily contour to the shape of Flutes™. Before these finishes were introduced, the cost and practical considerations of using conventional wood ceilings limited their use. That’s why at Ceilings Plus we reimagined what a wood ceiling can be. See Wood Finishes. Accessible The Flutes™ panels can be accessed. Progressive access is standard. If individual panel access is required consult factory for details. Ceiling Lighting/ HVAC Flutes™ can accommodate pendant mount, linear, incandescent and nearly all lighting elements. HVAC interface details are available. Contact Ceilings Plus regarding integration of other elements. Acoustics Noise reduction may be achieved by perforating the surface, and combining with absorptive backing. A variety of sound absorbing backing is available, Ceilings Plus can supply absorbing material which can achieve NRC values ranging from .70-.95. Consult factory for more guidance. To learn more about acoustics, see Acoustics in the Learning Center for more information. Perforations A variety of round, square, rectangular and custom perforation patterns are available to meet the project requirements. See Wood Perforations and Metal Perforations. Shapes/Sizes The Flutes™ panels are typically made in widths 32” and 37” wide. The lengths can be per project requirements. The standard profiles are 7/8” and _” deep. The curves repeat 2.67” on center. Other sizes are available. Test Reports Ceilings Plus has developed the Flutes™ ceiling systems to meet ASTM 635, ASTM 636 and typical local building code requirements. Test reports for suspension system and finish performance are available upon request. Class I Fire Rated Flutes™ products are Class I, 0-25 Flame Spread as tested in accordance with ASTM E84. Exterior Flutes™ can be specified for an exterior application using specific materials as noted in the Wood Finishes and Metal Finishes. Consult the factory regarding specific wind load requirements for exterior applications.
