What does the ‘MF’ in MF ceiling mean?
The MF stands for metal frame. But that can be a little confusing since a regular suspended ceiling also uses a metal frame.
What’s the difference between an MF ceiling and a traditional suspended ceiling?
The difference lies in the construction and the appearance. In a traditional suspended ceiling, the metal grid is exposed (to varying degrees), with ceiling tiles dropped into each square of the grid to give a cellular appearance.
In an MF ceiling, the frame is entirely concealed behind a plasterboard face to achieve a ‘monolothic’ appearance. Put simply, a ‘suspended ceiling’ looks like a suspended ceiling. An MF ceiling is a suspended ceiling you’d never know was suspended.
When should I choose an MF ceiling?
Traditional suspended and MF ceilings share many traits – including thermal and acoustic performance – so the choice between them tends to break down as follows:
Low cost: A traditional suspended ceiling will enable you to cover a larger space for less. But an MF ceiling will typically offer greater design flexibility for just a little more outlay.
Design freedom: If you’re wanting to make slopes or sweeping curves, an MF ceiling really is the right bet, giving you greater freedom to make the design choices you really want.
Personal preference: Some people love the traditional cellular approach. Some want the sleek clean lines of an MF ceiling. And there’s nothing to stop you mixing and matching the two!
