Sustainable ceilings: Reducing carbon footprint with aluminium ceiling systems

Aluminium is a key material in modern construction, widely used in ceiling systems for its lightweight, durable, and low-maintenance properties, while also offering corrosion resistance and sleek aesthetics. Through careful and considered design and specification, it also has the potential to greatly reduce the carbon impact of construction projects.

Sustainable ceilings: Reducing carbon footprint with aluminium ceiling systems explores how aluminium ceiling systems, with their recyclability and long lifespan, can help lower your project's carbon footprint, offering a more sustainable alternative to traditional materials. We also consider examples of innovative ceiling designs that incorporate dynamic lighting and shading systems to balance embodied carbon emissions from material production and transportation with significant reductions in operational emissions during the building’s lifetime.

Durlum is a leading manufacturer of versatile, sustainable metal ceilings and integrated lighting solutions, known for creating bespoke designs for various commercial projects such as airports, railway stations, and office buildings. Their flexible ceiling systems offer a wide range of colours, textures, perforations, and finishes, allowing for creative customisation to meet any design requirement.
