Ceiling rafts are free-floating ceiling elements that combine contemporary architecture with functional room acoustics and maximum design flexibility. By deliberately leaving the structural soffit visible, they support open and clearly structured interior concepts while significantly improving acoustic comfort thanks to their open construction.
Ceiling rafts are a preferred solution for modern office buildings, educational and administrative facilities, industrial and commercial spaces as well as representative public areas.
Due to their open construction, ceiling rafts provide highly effective sound absorption. Sound is absorbed not only on the visible surface but also on the rear side of the elements. This results in noticeably reduced reverberation times and improved speech intelligibility – even in large or high rooms.
The free-floating elements appear light and unobtrusive, contributing to a calm and well-balanced spatial atmosphere.
One of the key characteristics of modern ceiling rafts is their exceptional design flexibility. The elements can be:
arranged as individual modules or in linear sequences
positioned in a uniform grid or deliberately offset
adapted to different room sizes and geometries
This allows for customised ceiling designs that integrate seamlessly into the architectural concept. The exposed soffit remains an integral part of the design, creating a contemporary and technical aesthetic.
Ceiling rafts are ideally suited for buildings with flexible usage concepts. Changes in room layouts can be implemented easily, as the rafts are not bound to fixed grid dimensions. Additions, repositioning or modifications are possible even during ongoing operations.
In addition, ceiling rafts allow for the independent installation of lighting, ventilation components or other technical fittings between the elements, without affecting the ceiling system.
The visible soffit not only enhances architectural openness but also enables the efficient integration of technical building systems. Existing concrete core activation systems can be combined with ceiling rafts without impairing their performance. This ensures an optimal balance between acoustic comfort, thermal efficiency and architectural clarity.
Metal ceiling rafts are characterised by their cost-efficient construction and high suitability for everyday use. The systems offer:
fast and straightforward installation
durable and robust materials
hygienic surfaces that are easy to clean
They are therefore suitable for areas with increased hygiene and maintenance requirements.
Lindner offers a wide range of metal ceiling rafts distinguished by their filigree appearance, flexible system solutions and high functional quality. Designed as modular systems, the ceiling rafts can be individually adapted to different architectural and technical requirements. The product range is continuously developed, ensuring future-proof solutions for modern interior spaces.
