Radians

Affordable

Radians® is manufactured from custom designed, patented, CNC manufacturing equipment that produces curving ceiling panels quickly and with precision. Computer-controlled CNC machinery reduces the production time and dramatically lowers the cost of curving metal ceilings.

Finishes

Ceilings Plus offers a wide variety of finishes applied to aluminum. Ceilings Plus will explore unique finish selections by the request of the architect. Consult factory for possibilities.

Metal Finishes

Ceilings Plus manufactures from painted, anodized aluminum and stainless steel. Other unique metal finishes are available. See Metal Finishes.

Wood Finishes

Ceilings Plus has developed two new wood finishes Arboreal™ and Sarante’™ which easily shape to the curves of Radians®. Before these finishes were introduced, the cost and practical considerations of using conventional wood ceilings limited their use. That’s why at Ceilings Plus we reimagined what a wood ceiling can be. See Wood Finishes.

Luminous

Radians® can be illuminated from light sources above. Fluorescent lights mounted above the suspended Radians® ceiling in an enclosed plenum will create a luminous effect. The selection of the percentage opening of the perforations will control the light level desired. Contact Ceilings Plus for more information.

Panel Surface Quality

The distinguishing characteristic of Radians® is the flatness of the curving panel. The structural integrity and overall quality is achieved by the integral 1-1/2” panel returns on all 4 sides.

Accessible

Radians® is an integrated ceiling system consisting of panels, grid and associated hardware. The ceiling system allows access to the space above at every location. Heavy-Duty torsion spring clip assemblies mounted to the panels allow for complete downward access to the plenum without distorting the panel.

Ceiling Lighting/ HVAC

Radians® can accommodate pendant mount, linear, incandescent and nearly all lighting elements. HVAC interface details are available. Contact Ceilings Plus regarding integration of these and other elements.

Acoustics

Noise reduction may be achieved by perforating the surface, and combining with absorptive backing. A variety of sound absorbing backings are available, Ceilings Plus can supply absorbing material which can achieve NRC values ranging from .70-.95. Consult factory for more guidance. To learn more about acoustics, see Acoustics in the Learning Center for more information.

Perforations

A variety of round, square, rectangular and custom perforation patterns are available to meet the project requirements. See Wood Perforations and Metal Perforations.

Shapes/ Radii

The Radians® panel can be curved to a 14" to 100’ radius. A variety of radii can be designed to create serpentine, arc or undulating shapes.

Sizes

Panels are available in a variety of sizes to suit project requirements. The panels are manufactured in widths from 1’ to 5’. The suggested panel widths, for maximum value are 2’-6” and 3’-6”. Panel lengths can be fabricated up to 10’ (Consult factory if longer panels are required.)

Light Reflectance

Radians® ceiling is available in a high light white reflectance finish. See Metal Finishes. Consult factory for specifics.

Test Reports

Ceilings Plus has developed The Radians® ceiling systems to meet ASTM 635, ASTM 636 and typical local building code requirements. Test reports for suspension system and finish performance are available upon request.

Class I Fire Rated

Radians® product line, curving metal, wood and luminous ceilings are Class I, 0-25 Flame Spread as tested in accordance with ASTM E84.

Exterior

Radians® can be specified for an exterior application using specific materials as noted in the Wood Finishes and Metal Finishes. Consult the factory regarding specific wind load requirements for exterior applications.
