How Stretch Ceilings Minimise Business Downtime

When running a business, every moment of downtime translates to potential revenue loss. That’s why it’s crucial to choose solutions that are efficient, cost-effective, and designed to minimise disruptions. Stretch Ceilings and Walls are the ideal choice for business renovations, offering stunning results with minimal downtime.

A perfect example of this is our recent project at the swimming pool in The Anner Hotel, Thurles, Tipperary.

The Anner Hotel Pool Project: A Case Study

The Anner Hotel, a renowned establishment in Thurles, Tipperary, wanted to update the ceiling in their swimming pool area due to wear and tear caused by the moisture levels. The goal was to give the space a sleek, modern look while ensuring that downtime for the pool, a critical facility for the hotel and its guests, was kept to an absolute minimum.

Project Details

• Location: Swimming Pool, The Anner Hotel, Thurles, Tipperary.

• Duration: Completed in just 2 days, ensuring the pool area was closed for the shortest time possible.

• Material: A beautiful grey/blue PVC stretch ceiling was installed to complement the space's aquatic ambiance.

• Coverage: A total of 135 square meters was applied across three distinct areas of the ceiling.

The outcome was a flawlessly modernised pool area, achieved in record time. Guests at The Anner Hotel were able to return to the pool with minimal disruption, proving that stretch ceilings are a practical choice for businesses prioritising efficiency and quality.

Traditional building methods vs Stretch Downtime

If this installation had been completed using traditional building methods, it would have firstly required a full draining of the swimming pool due to the huge amount of construction debris and dust created using traditional building methods. There would also be multiple tradespeople and stages needed to complete the installation. This would have required at least 2-3 weeks in total to complete, causing a huge amount of unnecessary disruption for the hotels operations and more importantly, its guests. Our installation took a total of 2 days and is a long lasting, durable, low maintenance solution that will never require touch ups in the future, unlike traditional methods. 

The Starting Point of Transformation

Before the installation, the swimming pool area had an outdated and uninspiring ceiling that no longer matched the modern standards of The Anner Hotel. The ceiling showed signs of wear, making it clear that an upgrade was overdue.
