From Sky Ceilings: How SkyCeilings Work
Ceiling Grid - SkyCeilings fit into standard 2'x2', 2'x4', 60cm, or custom grid systems. Luminous SkyCeilings require 9" of overhead clearance from the bottom of the grid to the hard ceiling.
Elevators (patent-pending)
Elevators are aluminum frames that snap into the "T-bar" of the ceiling grid. Elevators raise the translucent image tiles of Luminous SkyCeilings 1-¼" above the ceiling grid, creating a 3-dimensional support structure that also eliminates structural shadows.
Image Tiles - Image Tiles are high-resolution photographic images on translucent acrylic panels for Luminous SkyCeilings, or opaque panels for Ambient SkyCeilings. Click here to see our Image Catalog.
Lighting Systems (for Luminous SkyCeilings only) - 6500K, daylight-balanced, T-5 fluorescent, or 6000K, daylight-balanced, RFfreeLux LEDs (for MRIs), evenly illuminate the translucent image tiles.
