In the world of contemporary interior design, where every detail plays a role in creating a unique atmosphere, open cell suspended ceilings hold a special place. These grid-like constructions have long been favored by architects and designers for their ability to combine functionality with aesthetics. However, among the variety of forms and sizes, it is the pyramidal open cell ceiling that stands out for its unique ability to transform a space.

Before diving into the features of the pyramidal system, it’s worth recalling the general advantages that make these ceilings indispensable for public and commercial spaces:

• Easy access to utilities — the grid structure provides quick and convenient access to engineering systems hidden above the ceiling, simplifying maintenance.
  
  
• Visual lightness — open cell ceilings effectively conceal ceilings and communications without creating a sense of heaviness or confinement.
  
  
• Natural ventilation — the open design allows air to circulate freely, improving ventilation and ensuring fire safety systems function without obstruction.
  
  

Wide range of cell sizes — the ability to choose cell sizes from 50×50 mm to 200×200 mm makes it possible to adapt the ceiling to any design task and functional requirement.

The main distinguishing feature of pyramidal open cell ceilings is their Y-shaped profile with sloped inner cell walls. This distinctive feature creates an impressive effect of volume and depth, turning an ordinary ceiling into a striking architectural element. Thanks to the sloping edges, the ceiling gains a dynamic appearance, visually expanding the space and filling it with air and lightness.

One of the key characteristics that sets the pyramidal system apart from the classic open cell ceiling is its unique ratio of transparency to viewing angle. Consider this:

• With the same 100×100 mm cell size, a classic open cell ceiling has approximately 82% transparency and a 24° viewing angle. This means the utilities above it remain quite visible.
  
  

The pyramidal open cell ceiling hides engineering systems much more effectively. The increased viewing angle allows the ceiling to be perceived as a seamless, volumetric structure, even when using large cell sizes. For example, a pyramidal ceiling with a 150×150 mm cell size, at 44% transparency and a 20° viewing angle, achieves a similar visual effect to a classic 100×100 mm open cell ceiling — but with an added sense of lightness and spatial depth.

Since the pyramidal system efficiently conceals utilities even with larger cells, installation becomes much easier. Using larger cells means fewer profiles are needed to cover the same ceiling area, which reduces installation time and labor costs.

KRAFT stands out as the only producer of Pyramidal Open Cell Ceilings, emphasizing the company’s commitment to innovation and its ambition to offer the market unique, high-quality solutions. The available range of cell sizes — from 60×60 mm to 200×200 mm — makes it possible to select the perfect option for any project.

A pyramidal open cell ceiling is more than just a ceiling system. It is a tool in the hands of an architect, allowing the creation of expressive, volumetric, and geometrically precise spaces. If you want your ceiling to become an integral part of your architectural composition, accentuating its character and depth — the pyramidal open cell ceiling is your perfect choice.
