Twelve ways to put light in the ceiling plane instead of on it. We bend the profiles, print the membrane, and install the finished surface ourselves.
Most integrated lighting arrives as a product. A tile, a panel, a module in a fixed size, and the ceiling gets drawn around it. We work the other way around. The lit surface is fabricated for the room. Any outline, curved or flat, ceiling or wall, up to the seam limits of the membrane. Our aluminum profiles are bent on our own CNC in Dania Beach, so the shape on the reflected ceiling plan is the shape that gets built. There is no module grid to design around and no standard size to compromise to.
That changes what a ceiling can do. One surface can be printed and backlit at the same time. It can be acoustic and lit at once, using acoustical fabric or micro perforated PVC membrane, where the perforation is invisible from the floor. A single plane can carry a recessed light line, a perimeter cove, a star field and a tunable white field, in one finish, from one drawing set, installed by one crew. The twelve systems below are how we categorize the work. Most real projects combine two or three of them. On large commercial projects we build a physical mockup first, so you can see it before you commit.
The membrane is cut for the room and the aluminum is bent on our own CNC in Dania Beach. Any outline, curved or flat, ceiling or wall, up to the seam limits of the membrane. No module grid to design around, and no standard size to compromise to.
A single plane can be printed and backlit at once, or acoustic and lit at once. The same plane can carry a recessed light line, a perimeter cove, a star field and a tunable white field, in one finish and from one drawing set.
We draw it, bend it, print it and install it. Ten years on the membrane and three years on the LED and electrical, from the people who built it. And on a large commercial project we build a physical mockup of your actual detail before anyone signs.
The whole plane is the fixture.
The entire ceiling plane becomes the light source. Even, glare free, no visible fixture.
View system
Printed graphics on translucent membrane, lit from behind. Sky, artwork, wood, branding.
The same build turned vertical. Feature walls, reception faces, headboards, retail backdrops.
Reveals, edges and the floating ceiling.
Light lines set flush into the ceiling plane. Three widths: Mini, Midi and Maxi profiles.
A continuous halo at the perimeter with no visible source. The ceiling reads as floating.
Geometry we cut and bend, not a catalog size.
A lit form in any outline. Circles, ovals, letters, logos, freehand curves, bent in our shop.
Waves, vaults, cones and multi level forms that glow, built on LuxForm profiles AP-212 and AP-213.
Points of light in a dark ceiling. Twinkle, slow color shift, mapped constellations.
The profile is bent to the outline on your drawing. Every photo below is the same room, so only the shape changes.
Shapes shown are examples. Send us the outline and we will quote it.
Lighting plus acoustics, plus control, plus reflection.
Acoustical fabric or micro perforated PVC membrane that lets sound pass and still lights. The perforation is invisible from the floor.
One ceiling, 2700K to 6500K, on a schedule you set. Warm early, cool midday, warm again at night.
RGBW with a dedicated white channel, so it still reads as a real white ceiling when the color is off.
The unlit systems the twelve above are built on. Same membrane, same profiles, same crew.
Gloss, matte and satin PVC in one clean plane. The base every lit system is built on.
Micro perforated membrane and CLIPSO fabric over an absorber layer, in the same track as everything else.
The same acoustic build turned vertical and clipped into a wall track.
AP-212 and AP-213 sculptural profiles for curved, stepped and multi level ceilings.
CLIPSO knit polyester clipped in cold and dry, seamless up to 16 ft 8 in.
The section detail below is current. Ask us for any additional detail your submittal needs and we will tell you the same day whether we hold it.
A backlit stretch ceiling is a tensioned translucent membrane held in an extruded aluminium track, with LED light bars mounted on carriers in the cavity above it. The membrane diffuses the light so the whole plane glows evenly, with no visible fixture, no diode dots and no hot spots. Because the membrane is cut for the room and the profile is bent to the drawing, the lit area can be any outline at all rather than a grid of standard panels: rectangles, circles, freeform curves, or a shape that runs from the ceiling down a wall in one piece. The translucent membrane we use for backlit work transmits 42.0% diffused, measured at Poznan University of Technology, method per CIE 130-1998. That figure comes from a test report, not a certificate, and covers total transmission only. The membrane itself is roughly 8 mil PVC and can be unclipped for access without damaging it.
Four inches minimum between the LED plane and the finished membrane. That depth is what lets the light from each bar spread and overlap before it reaches the membrane, so the surface reads as one even plane instead of a row of bright stripes. Shallower cavities are possible, but they need the LED rows moved closer together, which raises both cost and heat, so we would rather design the ceiling around the depth you actually have than promise an even surface we cannot deliver. Drivers are not in the cavity at all. They sit somewhere accessible that is agreed at design stage and marked on the drawing, which means nothing has to be serviced above the membrane later. Tell us the available depth early and we will set the LED spacing and the profile to suit it.
Everything above the membrane is 24V constant voltage, from the driver to the LED. The systems run on 0-10V, DALI-2 and DMX, and on wireless control where the project specifies it. Fixed colour temperature is available at 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, 5000K or 6500K. Tunable white runs the full 2700K to 6500K range as a preference setting on the control system, and we make no health, wellness or circadian claim for it. RGBW is available where the design calls for colour, with a dedicated white channel so the ceiling still reads as a real white ceiling when the colour is off. Strips are rated CRI 90 and above by their manufacturer, and we name the exact product on your submittal so you can check the rating against the source. Send us your driver and control combination and we will confirm it against jobs we have run, and we will send the manufacturer photometric data for the named product.
It depends on the material. CLIPSO knit polyester is clipped in cold and dry and is seamless up to 16 feet 8 inches, so most rooms are covered in a single piece with no join anywhere in the finished surface. It weighs about 230 grams per square metre, and the acoustic version passes sound through a micro perforation that is invisible from the floor rather than a visible hole pattern. PVC membrane is roughly 8 mil nominal, between 7 and 10 mil depending on whether the finish is gloss, matte, satin, translucent or mirror. Wider PVC spans are welded in our own shop before they reach site, so the weld is made under factory conditions rather than overhead on a ladder. Either way the seam position is decided at drawing stage and marked on the reflected ceiling plan, so nobody discovers a join in the middle of a finished lobby.
The full set is on file. Ask for any of it and it goes out the same day.
We will tell you which of these twelve applies, what it needs above the plane, and what we can document. On a large commercial project we will build a physical mockup of your actual detail in Dania Beach, so you can see it before you commit.
Share a few details and our team will follow up within one business day.
