Ceilings, Soffits and Porticos. Making The Most Of Your Space.
While walls and facades often take centre stage in building design, ceilings, soffits and porticos are critical architectural elements that enhance both function and form. These components contribute to the overall performance, durability and visual cohesion of a building.
For architects seeking clean detailing, builders focused on efficient installation, or homeowners aiming for a finished, high-end look, these elements offer opportunities to elevate design with purpose.
Ceilings
A well-designed ceiling does more than conceal structural and mechanical systems, it also defines the atmosphere of a space. Interior ceilings can effectively create visual boundaries without the need for physical barriers or walls. Ceilings also contribute to acoustics, lighting design and thermal performance.
Soffits
Soffits, the underside of roof overhangs, eaves, balconies or arches, play a dual role in design and protection. Functionally, soffits ventilate the roof space and help prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to rot or mold. Aesthetically, soffits provide a clean, cohesive look to the roofline, tying together exterior finishes for a polished facade.
Porticos
Porticos serve as transitional spaces between exterior and interior environments, often framing an building’s entrance, sometimes extending from the roofline. As architectural features, porticos add depth, shelter and grandeur, whilst their practical application offers weather protection at key entry points and enhances accessibility.
All of our ceiling, soffit and portico product solutions are designed with performance and longevity in mind and meet a wide range of technical requirements to support your design vision. Our exterior-grade finishes offer great UV and corrosion resistance as well as offering a fire-safe and non-combustible alternative.
