Suspended Ceilings for Gyms and Sports Facilities

KRAFT suspended ceilings offer comprehensive benefits across their entire product range. Built to meet high public safety standards, all KRAFT suspended ceiling models - including linear strip ceilings, open-cell systems, T-profile-based ceilings, and specialized tiles and panels - utilize high-quality, eco-friendly materials.

• Fire Resistance: The cube-shaped and plate-shaped rails, along with open-cell variants, feature non-combustible construction and maintain unobstructed airflow for ventilation, fire suppression, and smoke evacuation. KRAFT Nova and Fortis T-profiles are equipped with fire compensators to manage metal thermal expansion.
• Transparency (concealed structure): Every ceiling type effectively conceals building infrastructure while ensuring easy maintenance access.
• Energy-Efficient Lighting: The integrated KRAFT LED lighting systems, compatible with all ceiling types, provide energy efficiency and long-lasting performance.

Choosing KRAFT suspended ceilings means investing in comprehensive solutions tailored to diverse needs, not just acquiring individual ceiling components.

The reception is the face of a sports club, creating the first impression for visitors. Hence, the ceiling here should be stylish, impressive, and complement the space’s overall design.

Design-focused ceiling solutions are ideal for reception areas. One of the best options in this context is KRAFT suspended ceilings with cube-shaped or plate-shaped rails, which harmoniously blend with any interior style and enable bold design ideas. Options include a variety of colors, wood textures, a rails of different heights, and various mounting options offering you choices to create an unique look - from minimalist to abstract. The rails also combine well with other types of suspended ceilings—from mesh panels to open-cell ceilings.

For an elegant yet functional lighting solution, KRAFT G-LED fixtures can be discreetly integrated into the rail ceilings. This creates a sophisticated, contemporary appearance while maintaining optimal lighting efficiency.

Recreation and dining areas should be cozy, with comfortable acoustics and aesthetic appeal. Creating a welcoming atmosphere that encourages social interaction is essential. Community interaction among members fosters a sense of belonging, which enhances club image and visitor loyalty.

KRAFT specialists have previously developed specific recommendations for suspended ceiling selection in cafés and restaurants. In the current context, we recommend maximizing acoustic solutions for ceilings and walls using KRAFT WoodAcoustic panels. These panels are made from eco-friendly, natural materials and offer superior sound insulation properties. KRAFT WoodAcoustic panels are suitable for both ceiling and wall applications. For ceiling installation, the KRAFT Fortis T-profile framework can cover the entire ceiling or be arranged in individual islands. The wide range of panel colors enriches interior design possibilities. Additionally, for creative design ideas, KRAFT expanded metal mesh panels with added sound-absorbing materials can be used with the KRAFT Fortis support system. This adds even more versatility and style to the ceilings.

Durable and practical ceiling systems are essential for technical areas. These systems must be easily dismantled for access to building services.

The optimal solution for technical spaces is a suspended ceiling system with a T-profile frame. The T-profile structure can accommodate various tile types - mineral, metal, acoustic, or mesh - as well as GLK open-cell metal cassettes. This ceiling is characterized by easy installation and requires no maintenance. One of the key advantages of this solution is the simple dismantling of any ceiling section for easy access to utilities. When combined with the KRAFT T-Led lighting system featuring quick-installation technology, this option becomes virtually unmatched.

Gym areas are high-traffic areas with diverse equipment. They typically are expansive spaces with high ceilings. Depending on the club's size, the gym is divided into different sections: free-weight zone (barbells, dumbbells, pull-up bars, etc.), cardio areas (exercise bikes, treadmills, etc.), and group exercise space. This zoning enhances space utilization and workout quality.

The gym can utilize virtually all ceiling types from KRAFT's range - open-cell ceilings, rail ceilings, or T-profile systems, each offering unique advantages.

T-profile suspended ceilings with acoustic panels effectively absorb noise and echo, reducing reverberation. Their key benefits include high modularity, easy replacement of individual elements, quick installation, and simple access to equipment and utilities. These ceilings can be equipped with KRAFT T-Led lighting fixtures, specifically designed for T-profiles and compatible with "Smart Home" systems.

Classic open-cell ceilings provide a monolithic appearance while effectively concealing the HVAC and fire suppression systems. Pyramidal open-cell ceilings add extra volume and better conceal building services.

Rail ceilings offer extensive design possibilities. Using custom mounting systems, cube-shaped rails can be installed at any spacing and angle on both ceilings and walls. Flexible traverses enable the creation of smooth, wave-like surfaces, adding uniqueness to the ceilings.

Combining various suspended ceiling types and/or colors allows for flexible and aesthetically pleasing implementation of space zoning concepts.

Swimming pool areas demand ceilings highly resistant to moisture and corrosion.

Metal linear strip ceilings as well as open-cell ceilings from KRAFT are excellent choices for pools. Manufactured from polymer-coated galvanized steel, these ceilings are designed to withstand high humidity. KRAFT guarantees three years of protection against perforating corrosion, though actual lifespan often exceeds this by two to three times.

• Use a mix of ceiling types tailored to each area’s purpose.
• Choose lighting systems to create the desired ambiance.
• Carefully select ceiling colors and textures.
• Consider the functional features of each club section when planning.
  

Suspended ceiling selection combines technical, practical, and aesthetic considerations into a sophisticated engineering solution. A well-chosen suspended ceiling can significantly improve the functionality, aesthetics, and comfort of a sports club. The key is a customized approach that respects the unique characteristics and purpose of each area.
