1. Plaster Ceiling Replacement Options
Traditional plaster requires scaffolding, drying time, and frequent repainting. Stretch ceilings use a lightweight perimeter track and a tensioned PVC or PU membrane, creating a flawless surface that resists moisture and cracking.
Install over existing substrates without demolition
Seamless spans up to five metres wide
Hygienic and easy to wipe clean
These advantages make stretch systems ideal replacements in offices, retail, hospitality, healthcare, and leisure venues. Explore examples on our Business Solutions page.

Every hour of trading counts. A 100 m² office ceiling can be refitted overnight with minimal disturbance to staff and IT hardware. Visit How It Works for a detailed seven-step timeline that compresses a week-long plaster job into a single shift.

4. Ceiling Renovation Ideas without Mess
Stretch ceilings arrive pre-cut and rolled in protective tubes. Our team first fixes a slim aluminium track around the room, then gently warms the PVC membrane just enough to tension it smooth and clip it into place. Because the entire process is dry, it requires no plaster, primer or paint, so the installation produces zero dust, drips or overspray. Once secured, the membrane seals the void, conceals cables and ductwork, and it can be reopened later by unclipping a single edge. This mess-free method makes stretch ceilings the ideal renovation choice for gyms, medical suites, retail floors and corporate offices.
5. Lighting Solutions that Work Harder
Lighting and ceiling decisions should align from day one.
Our spotlights Lighting Solution offer:
Simple integration into stretch ceilings
Flexible placement to highlight key design features
Energy-efficient performance with a clean, modern look
Custom layouts to suit any room shape or function
Fixtures are pre-wired and tested before installation, helping reduce site time and simplify the coordination process.

FAQs
How long does a stretch ceiling last?
The membrane carries a 15-year material guarantee and remains stable far longer when cleaned periodically with a microfibre cloth.
Can staff stay onsite during installation?
Yes. The process is quiet and dust-free, so most clients maintain normal operations or schedule work after hours.
Are stretch ceilings fire rated?
All materials are CE-marked and achieve B-s1-d0 classification for commercial use in Ireland.
Can we change the ceiling design later?
Absolutely. The track remains in place; a new membrane can be installed in a matter of hours, making updates cost-effective.
Do stretch ceilings improve acoustics?
Acoustic stretch ceiling materials backed with sound-absorbing fleece can significantly reduce echo and reverberation, helping to create quieter, more comfortable work environments.
