  • Standard product and production process, provide for an extremely cost effective curved metal ceiling solution
  • Long and narrow or wide panel ceilings, length made to measure up to 6000 mm, allowing swift installation and reducing the need for joints to a minimum.
  • Closed or open ceiling surface, using a concealed carrier suspension system, allowing the chosen carrier curve to determine the appearance of the ceiling
  • The same easy panel-on-carrier suspension system as for standard ceilings, allowing easy transition to straight ceilings using the same panel

Acoustic information
The acoustic performance in an office space, school or public building contributes to our well being as poor acoustic comfort can affect health, communication, safety, productivity and learning. Hunter Douglas high performance acoustic ceiling products are the best solution to deliver outstanding acoustic performance, comfort and an aesthetic pleasing solution. With the Luxalon® Metal Ceilings with curved carriers an absorption value (αw) 0.75 can be obtained, depending on the ceiling and panel configuration. To further increase acoustic absorption, consider the ceiling radius: an increase in material surface quantity can result in up to 55% enhancement of absorption surface.

Health and wellbeing

Hunter Douglas contributes to sustainable buildings through aesthetic solutions that enhance comfort and save energy. Promoting health and wellbeing of their occupants is arguably the most important function of buildings. Buildings are not constructed just to be energy efficient. Our shading solutions promote the use of healthy daylight without the hindrances of glare and thermal discomfort. Our acoustic ceilings are a key element in the provision of acoustic comfort.

Sound materials

Environmentally sound materials are key to sustainable buildings. Our strategy is to pick materials that have good environmental properties to start with. Many of our products are made of aluminum produced in our own smelters. We’ve optimized our processes to use up to 99% of recycled content to produce the right alloy for our products. Our wood is FSC certified and we embrace the Cradle to Cradle principle in our product development.

Energy savings

Reducing the energy use of the total building stock is key to the prevention of global warming. Most modern office buildings use more energy for cooling than heating. Effectively managing the solar energy that passes through the transparent part of the façade is a key strategy in the prevention of overheating in both old and new buildings. Our high performance shading solutions bring substantial energy savings, while at the same time promoting health and wellbeing.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Keen on Green is an important company-wide initiative to reduce energy consumption, water usage and our overall carbon-footprint. We embrace the ISO 14001 framework to actively manage our Keen on Green objectives. Hunter Douglas and its employees actively support the communities in which we live and work, as well as those on a more global scale. Business is people. We pride ourselves on our worldwide network of experienced, intelligent, passionate and creative people that have consciously chosen Hunter Douglas as their employer.
