Star Ceilings
Prices for a system including fixings and light source are around £400 per square metre inc VAT.
Example HiFi Cinema Star Ceiling Installations

The Star ceiling can be either as a floating island coming off the existing ceiling, or recessed in a coffered or framed area of the ceiling. Most of the star ceilings we have installed are arranged as panels within a coffered ceiling, as this gives the effect of an open-to-the-stars ceiling.
To build a Star Ceiling
There are three key elements to the star ceiling:
Ceiling support
The Star Panels are typically 1m x 1m boards, and are attached to the ceiling via magnets, “sticking” to steel channels suspended from the ceiling joists. In this way there are no fixings visible, and a very neat finish can be achieved. The panels also have security tethers, this is because when a ceiling panel is pulled away from the steel channels, the magnets often release all together, and the panel will fall away from the unwary.
Light Source
The lighting source, is typically a small box with one or more high intensity LED light sources inside. This of course needs to be housed somewhere, be provided with mains power, and have a path for the fibre optic umbilicle to connect to the ceiling panels.
The light source may be a simple white light, include a “twinkle” wheel, or be a sophisticated RGBW unit with DMX control. The DMX facility allows the unit to be completely controlled via an automation system, generating custom colours, brightnesses and twinkle effects.
Planning & Execution
The ceiling supports have to be installed accurately so that the Star Ceiling is in the correct place, and this requires some careful planning, measuring and marking. We are able to make up special sized and shaped panels to fit odd-shaped ceilings, however these require a bit more effort to ensure the panels can be supported correctly.
