Ceiling boarding can be done in more than one way. In this project in the Zwolle region you can see two side by side. In a room with a large glass front we fitted a suspended tile ceiling with white panels. In a room with a sliding door we made a timber beam ceiling with insulation above it. The photos show both ceilings during and after the work. Below you can read when to choose which option.
Not every ceiling has to be the same. In one room you want a calm, clean surface that you can still get above easily later. In another room the timber may stay on show. In this project both wishes came together. A new ceiling is also often the moment to hide pipes, move lighting or add extra insulation. That is why we first look at what needs to happen above the ceiling.
The photos of the first room show the grid of the suspended tile ceiling in place, with the white panels laid in. Around the large glass front and the sloping walls the ceiling has been neatly finished. In the second room you can see timber beams with boards above, and a strip of insulation along the edge above the sliding door. Read more about this approach under boarding a ceiling.

The result: two ceilings with their own character
The suspended tile ceiling gives a light, clean room where pipes and lighting can stay above and remain accessible later. The beam ceiling adds warmth and, thanks to the insulation, keeps the room below at a steadier temperature. If you want spotlights in a new ceiling, read about a suspended ceiling with spotlights.

Frequently asked questions
The questions we are asked most about costs, our service area and how Daal Constructions works.
What is the advantage of a suspended tile ceiling?
The panels sit loose in a grid, so you can always reach pipes, cables or lighting. It is quick to install and gives a clean surface. It does look more businesslike than a plastered ceiling.
What does ceiling boarding cost?
That depends on the area, the type of ceiling and the finish. You will find a rough indication under the cost of a suspended ceiling. For a fair price, ask for a tailored quote.
Can I insulate when fitting a timber ceiling?
Yes, it is often the best moment to do it, because the space above the ceiling is open. Which insulation fits depends on the structure above.

"Wij hebben deze vakman ingeschakeld voor het verlagen van plafonds, het verbreden van wanden, het timmeren van een koof en diverse andere werkzaamheden in onze nieuwbouwwoning. Alles is strak afgewerkt, afspraken werden nagekomen en de communicatie was prettig. Via Shahiro zijn netwerk hebben we ook een uitstekende stukadoor en elektricien gevonden, wat het hele proces enorm heeft vergemakkelijkt. Echt een aanrader als je top kwaliteit zoekt."
