Membrane Ceiling
Safe and comfortable. Rich in design and environmentally friendly, this is the ceiling of the future.
Ceilings are not only at risk of falling during major earthquakes. Ceilings falling due to aging and deteriorating base materials, daily delicate vibrations, wind and thermal contraction, and other such causes have been reported all over the world today.
Replacing heavy and hard conventional ceilings, a new concept of soft, lightweight, and strong membrane ceilings gently wrap people’s lives.

What is a Membrane Ceiling?
This ceiling construction method creates safe and comfortable spaces.
The danger of falling ceilings is not limited to major earthquakes. Aging and deterioration of the base material, daily delicate vibrations, cold and heat shrinkage. Ceiling falls due to these causes have been reported all over the world today.
Replacing heavy and hard conventional ceilings, a new concept of soft, lightweight, and strong membrane ceilings gently wrap people’s lives.
Soft
Resistant to deformation and collision, and resistant to swaying and falling
The thin and soft membrane material not only enhances the room’s design, but also makes the structure capable of following deformation even in the event of large seismic shaking, thus reducing the risk of ceiling fallout to an extremely low level.
Strong
Catching Falling Objects
In spite of its extremely thin material with a thickness of only 1 mm, it has been proven in in-house tests to be strong enough to catch falling objects.

Bright
Space with high quality light environment
It creates a space with a high-quality light environment by reflecting natural lighting from windows or indirect lighting effects from light transmitted through the membrane material.

Comparison of reverberation time before and after installation of membrane ceiling (average value per frequency)
After the membrane ceiling was installed, we confirmed that the reverberation time was reduced, mainly in the 160-200 Hz band.
2-sided fixing type
Method of fixing only the two ends of the membrane and suspending it freely without hearing.
Features of Construction Method
- Fewer components are used, and the installation is simple.
- The membrane’s ability to follow deformation is extremely high, and the risk of breakage or falling is low.
- Since no tension is applied, the reaction force is small and the load on the frame can be reduced, but the membrane is prone to wrinkling.
- The softness, lightness, and curved surface unique to membranes can be expressed.
Point suspension type
Method of providing hearing by attaching hardware at points around the perimeter of the membrane.
Features of Construction Method
- The outer perimeter is anchored at a point for quick installation and simple delivery with no need for intermediate framing.
- The membrane has higher deformation-following capability and is less likely to break or fall.
- The corresponding tension is applied to the membrane, resulting in a reaction force on the frame.
- It can express the light design unique to suspension membranes.
2. Measure the dimensions and install the bracket.
3. Set the support members on the membrane ceiling.
4. Attach the support member to the bracket.
5. The membrane ceiling is completed.
