‘Back to black’ for the latest ceiling design trend

Here at OWA, we are seeing an increase in demand for black ceiling tiles and grids. The popularity of this dramatic and industrial-inspired ‘back to black’ interior trend continues to capture the imagination of architects and designers working across the sectors.

We offer several solutions for achieving an elegant black ceiling design, including the Sinfonia Black acoustic mineral ceiling tile. To accompany the tile, we offer our T24 black ceiling grid which is available in a choice of satin or matt black finishes. The matt finish is a better match for the Sinfonia Black tile. It reflects less light and has an additional coating to prevent visible fingerprints. For a more industrial look, we can also offer a choice of perforated metal and expanded metal mesh ceiling tiles.

Many of our other popular and versatile products are also available in black, such as baffles, acoustic rafts, canopies and corridor systems. This gives customers even greater choice when choosing ceilings that feature this design detail.

Often seen in leisure and hospitality settings, black ceilings are becoming increasingly dominant in commercial office spaces. The residential sector is also embracing them to add interest to corridors and communal living areas. As well as the aesthetic appeal of black ceilings, there are also numerous practical benefits of choosing this style. From minimising glare and reflections to create a more focused work or study area, to concealing building services while creating a seamless, softer texture and an uninterrupted finish. The choice of ceiling solutions that we offer will enhance the acoustic performance in potentially noisy areas. Our Sinfonia Black ceiling tiles offer very high sound absorption levels to boost speech intelligibility.

The OWA team are also on hand to advise on the most appropriate black ceiling system for your needs. Please call to discuss different room layouts, sizes, and acoustic requirements. You can find our contact details on our ‘Team’ webpage.
