Ceil with Thermoformed Tiles and Panels
Architect Magazine has published a continuing education course about thermoformed ceiling tiles and panels sponsored by Ceilume. While they no longer offer CEU credit, the course materials are still an excellent introduction to thermoformed ceilings.
Description
Adding a word to one's vocabulary can give a person a new means of expression. The same can be said for adding a building product to one's palette of material choices. A wider choice of products can satisfy a designer's quest for aesthetic exploration, help a project manager meet a budget, or the specifier to address challenging performance requirements.
Quality. Cost. Performance. Is it possible that restoring thermoformed ceilings (TFC) to the architectural vocabulary can meet all three of an architect's needs?
Learning Objectives
