What is a Membrane Ceiling?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

This ceiling construction method creates safe and comfortable spaces.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replacing heavy and hard conventional ceilings, a new concept of soft, lightweight, and strong membrane ceilings gently wrap people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Less damage in case of a fall<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The mass of the membrane material is approximately 600 g\/m\u00b2. Compared to conventional ceiling materials, it is very lightweight, minimizing damage to people and objects in the room in the event of an unexpected fall.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Soft<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Resistant to deformation and collision, and resistant to swaying and falling<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The thin and soft membrane material not only enhances the room\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

After the membrane ceiling was installed, we confirmed that the reverberation time was reduced, mainly in the 160-200 Hz band.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
