CEILING ACCESSORIES
|
A ceiling panel is a horizontal architectural feature that fills the space between the ceiling and the top of mounted cabinets or connects an exterior wall to the roof edge under the eaves. It bridges the gap between a home's siding and roofline and is typically screwed or nailed to lookout rafters. Its exposure profile can range from a few inches to several feet, and it may be ventilated or non-ventilated to prevent condensation. It can also include a grill covering the vent opening, with joists along the corners connecting it to the walls.

Actual Picture of Spandrel

SPANDREL
A spandrel is the horizontal underside of a structure, commonly installed under eaves or between cabinets and ceilings to provide a polished finish while protecting the roof’s underside. Ventilated spandrel panels consist of 4-inch wide panels placed side by side with customizable lengths, designed to promote airflow and prevent moisture buildup and condensation. Installing spandrels requires additional accessories such as edge accessories for sealing and finishing the edges, as well as trusses for structural support. Both ventilated and non-ventilated spandrel panels enhance roof durability while adding aesthetic appeal.

WHY METAL CEILING PANEL?
Metal has always been a better option than wood for those who can afford it. Twenty years ago, metal ceiling panels were mostly used in gasoline stations due to their high cost, reaching around a thousand pesos per square foot. However, as wood prices have continued to rise due to government regulations aimed at improving environmental health, metal prices have steadily decreased. This decline is driven by advancements in recycling, mass production, and more affordable transportation. Additionally, improved tools have made metalwork easier and more precise. When considering the rising cost of construction labor, there was already no practical reason to choose wood over metal in 2019.
