The effect of having good educational facilities has been researched and recorded. The temperature, lighting, air quality and acoustics play an important role in the behaviour of students and teachers.
Establishing future educational facilities involves; good sound absorption, protection against fire hazards, sound attenuation, impact resistance, and sound isolation.
USG ME Ceilings make sure all these requirements/elements are present in manufacturing any ceiling for educational facilities.
What our Celebretto ceilings offer are broad, but we will mention a few; Acoustics, fire protection, impact resistance, a safe & healthy environment, etc.
Educational facilities are of big maintenance cost which makes impact resistance a major contributor to their design.
Impact-resistant ceilings are located in sports halls, classrooms, or corridors that are often susceptible to damage, wear, & tear.
Our ceiling solution(impact-resistant material) comes in handy in high moisture areas. USG ME specialty ceilings are designed majorly for building contractors to use in high-traffic areas.
With our specialty ceiling, all students and staff are guaranteed safety during any fire outburst.
We offer a broad variety of fire-rated building elements and lightweight compounds based on UL assemblies. They include; fire tunnels, fire-rated ceilings & walls, and fire-conserved beams and columns.
Once you walk into any classroom, the first thing you should do is to look up. What you see up there will determine if the students hear enough words, if the teachers will someday take a sick leave due to voice straining, or if administrators can hold any meeting without being heard from outside.
It plays an effective role in building any educational facility. It creates a conducive environment, privacy, comfort and reduced sound rate for all.
Our ceilings create a conducive & quiet learning environment coupled with the right lighting fixtures. USG ME suspended ceiling hides the structural compartment of overhead electrical components, fire suppression, and air conditioning from sight.
Having a bright environment makes all the difference in any building. All educational facilities should make good use of the daytime to cut costs on electricity.
Our ceilings help optimize light reflection in areas of indirect/poor lighting.
During holiday seasons there are plenty of ways for mould and moisture to penetrate the panels and cause damage. Our ceilings have the best resistance to mould & moisture.
Areas with high humidity include; cloakrooms, laboratories, kitchens, and bathrooms. These are the areas where our specialty ceiling comes in handy.
Our ceilings are Greenguard®Gold certified and have low VOC emitting products. They are also recognised by CHPS, LEED, and numerous others for assisting indoor air quality.
All staff and students do not stay for a long time in any educational facility, but our ceilings do. Our ceilings are made of less expensive long-lasting materials that can withstand the test of time.
This is a less-expensive all-purpose ceiling that comes in different panel sizes, and fire code formulation that meets life safety rules.
It has good sound attenuation and absorption rate, thereby making it advisable to be used in all areas of an educational facility. Its panels are perfect for large ceiling areas.
