COMMERCIAL POOLS
Ceiling Solutions Provide Pool Halls With Numerous Benefits Commercial operators who in the past have faced large renovation bills for deteriorating structures have been quick to seek out and adopt stretch ceiling systems. The material membrane is waterproof,
10
prefi nished and provides each pool with a complete vapour barrier that ensures that no corrosive vapours pass through the ceiling to damage the structure above.
In addition to their use as a ceiling, these systems can be used as a wall covering to create light diffusers, fl oating panels and creative shapes. Its versatility allows the incorporation of light fi xtures, grilles and fi xing points by using a proprietary background support.
There are many good stretch ceiling brands available from Europe for example, BARRISOL®
, Extenzo, New Matt, DPS,
Saros, etc. but there are also excellent stretch ceilings being manufactured here in the UK. Creative Ceilings (UK) Ltd offer all the benefi ts of the European manufacturers but with the added benefi ts of being manufactured in the same country they are installed plus speed of supply, lower supply costs, etc. The company have developed a superb blown air distribution system that removes the need to duct the air around the room and have released a unique system of heating using the ceiling and radiant heat principle.
Radiant heat is the transfer of heat from a warm surface to a cooler surface via infrared rays, travelling through the air without heating it – the most recognisable radiant heat source is the sun, heating the Earth from millions of miles away. Radiant heating is highly effi cient, offering a minimum of 25% energy savings against standard types of heating systems and it’s instant, simply switch on and you start to feel the warmth. It converts virtually 100% of the electricity to heat output too (100W in = 100W out). In addition, radiant heating does not create dust and is ideal for Asthma suffers and environments affected by dust movement. Humidity levels are unaffected by the system and it is digitally controlled and fully programmable to optimise heating performance – for each 1°C of reduction = 8% savings. Importantly, for the environment and your customers’ pockets, the system provides room insulation preventing heat loss through the ceiling and radiant heating can show 0% Carbon emissions. The complete Creative Ceilings’ heated stretch ceiling system is 100%
