On an open floor everyone hears each other and nobody understands anyone. Glass and concrete send the sound back, and then the whole day goes into filtering out what is happening around you.
Calm in the sound
A perforated acoustic sheet removes the reflections that get in the way of communication and concentration. The sheet is soft, the absorption sits behind it, and none of it is visible at the ceiling.
At Endemol in Amsterdam the reception sat in a completely open hall. SPANdesign put in a large hood of stretched material there, which improved the acoustics and gave the desk a place of its own in that hall.
And the rest of the building keeps running
The ceiling is demountable, so cable trays, climate systems and sprinklers above the sheet stay reachable. A refit in two years does not have to tear the ceiling out.
A stretched wall does the same vertically. At IT Support Groep in Tilburg the hall is a gloss wall in the company's house style, with a made-to-measure logo set into it.

What usually goes in here
- Acoustic solutionsReverberation makes talking and working hard. A perforated sheet with absorption behind it takes the edge off the sound.
- Stretch ceilingA made-to-measure sheet pulled taut across the whole room. No seams, no ceiling tiles working loose.
- Stretched wallsThe same technique turned vertical. It covers an old or uneven wall and works on the acoustics at the same time.
Common questions about this room
What is possible acoustically?
The acoustic ceilings use a Microsorber perforation that works as sound absorption. That removes the reflections and echoes that get in the way of communication and concentration. The acoustic solution itself stays invisible, so the design stays free.
Can lighting be integrated?
Yes. Light fittings can be integrated into a SPANdesign stretch ceiling. Transparent and light-transmitting ceilings give diffuse light. The light ceilings reach around 76% light transmission and suit fluorescent fittings, LED modules and projection.
What does modular mean?
Our stretch solutions can be taken down and put back up without limit. They combine with lighting, climate control and sprinkler systems. All our stretch products are flexible and shatterproof, are fitted at minimal depth, and are made to measure for each individual room.
What are the design options?
Our stretch solutions have countless applications across all kinds of styles. The number of shapes is unlimited: horizontal, vertical, curved, angled and 3D. There is a wide choice of colour and pattern, and the systems come in many versions.
Is it easy to maintain?
Yes. Fitting and removing is simple, so you can always reach your ceiling. The stretch ceilings are easy to clean and antistatic, so they stay dust free.
What does a stretch ceiling cost, roughly?
Most projects we take on are between 20,000 and 50,000 euro, and large halls and swimming pools run to 100,000 to 250,000 euro. What your room costs depends on its area, its shape and what has to sit in the ceiling. We do not take on a project under 20,000 euro.
