New 'fine textured' metal ceiling finish from SAS

SAS International has introduced a new fine textured paint finish, SAS FT, for its range of metal ceiling panels and tiles.

SAS International, the market leader in metal solutions, has introduced a new fine textured paint finish, SAS FT, for its range of metal ceiling panels and tiles.

This finish negates the chance of lighting 'hotspots' (indirect light sources common with up lighting) and glare occurring, as well as increasing the perceived flatness of a metal ceiling.

In addition, it also offers a semi-matt/low-gloss appearance, which is visually very similar to emulsioned plasterboard, but with the durability and functionality of a metal ceiling.

SAS FT is ideal where large ceiling panels are specified and high levels of natural light are used to create the feeling of open space; particularly popular in today's user-friendly working environments.

These conditions increase the chance of uncontrolled light reflection.

As SAS FT directs light across the ceiling plane evenly it stops the occurrence of 'specular highlights', where light either 'bleeds' across the ceiling plane or remains in one place causing a light 'hotspot'.

In addition, its low-gloss nature decreases the visibility of ceiling tile deflection, should it occur.

Andrew Jackson, Marketing Manager, SAS International states: "SAS International seeks to offer innovative and high quality products".

"New working environments that provide a feeling of space are becoming increasingly popular, driving demand for larger metal ceiling panels and tiles".

"Our new SAS FT finish helps reduce the visual impact light has on a large metal ceiling panel/tile".

"SAS FT has been used by lighting designers to allow light to be controlled across a metal ceiling surface".

SAS FT is available on all SAS colours and comes with a 25-year guarantee.

It can be specified on all of SAS International's range of metal ceiling panels and metal ceiling tiles.

As the leading supplier of metal ceiling systems, partitioning, heating and cooling products and architectural metalwork, SAS International is one of the major UK manufacturers supplying solutions to both new build and refurbishment projects, working closely with construction professionals across Europe, and the Far and Middle East.
