Stretch Ceilings and Biophilic Design

Stretch ceilings are highly versatile and can be used to create unique, organic shapes and designs that complement biophilic design principles. Combined with the right materials, the end result can mimick the look and feel of natural materials, such as skylights or trees, while also providing practical benefits such as uniform light transmission and sound insulation.

In this project, our translucent backlit stretch ceiling material was used to create a tree-like structure that served as the primary source of light and seamlessly integrated with the carpentry and greenery. The result: Aa successful marriage of form and function that enhances the overall experience of the users of the space.

Meticulous Installation Practices

At NEWMAT India, we take great pride in our meticulous installation practices, ensuring that every detail is taken care of. Each element in the design is an individual ceiling, with a total of 36 panels for each tree. The installation process for this project involved carefully measuring and cutting our powder coated channels. This helps make sure that the curves and corners fit the unique shape of the structure. Our team then installed the material with precision and care, ensuring that it was secure and seamless.
