How Ceiling Clouds Bring Style & Functionality to Building Interiors
Elevate Your Space
A traditional drop tile or drywall ceiling can be an economical way to finish an open floor plan while absorbing noise effectively. However, these conventional ceilings often lack visual interest—especially in spaces where one area flows seamlessly into the next. For building owners and designers seeking a fresh alternative, ceiling clouds offer a modern approach that marries form, function, and aesthetics.
What Are Ceiling Clouds?
Ceiling clouds are panels suspended from the ceiling to create a dramatic visual element while serving many of the same purposes as traditional drop ceilings. Like drop tiles, ceiling clouds help absorb sound and conceal beams, wiring, and supports. The difference lies in their look: ceiling clouds come in various shapes, sizes, and materials—ranging from foam to drywall, wood, metal, and even fabric—giving architects and interior designers more creative freedom in shaping a space’s atmosphere.
Wainscoting for Style, Durability and Function in Commercial Buildings
Building Owners have been using a form of wainscoting in their buildings since the 14th century according to howstuffworks.com. This enhancing wall covering is typically added to the lower third of a wall, but can also be used to cover the entire wall if so desired. Commercial wainscoting comes in many materials for different uses including laminate, metallic, tile, vinyl (VCW) , fiber reinforced, or polymer (FRP) material to name most options.

Design-Build Services Explained with Examples
Design-Build Construction (DB) is one of the increasingly popular methods of construction. Instead of hiring an Architect to design your building and then finding a separate General Contractor to bid the design, a commercial building owner gets the designer and the contractor as one entity. The Design-Build Company becomes the single-source to take on the full-risk of a construction project.
Three Common Misconceptions about Design Build Construction
Companies that regularly open new locations most likely have a lot of experience with construction. They benefit from having established drawings to help design the next store and a familiarity with contractors, and, therefore, are a good fit for General Construction services to complete their buildings. On the other hand, business owners who are unfamiliar with construction and don’t have relationships with professional contractors would benefit more from having a Design-Builder on their team. This is because Design-Build perks include earlier budget information, faster completion, a single-source to contact for all project needs, and the ability to judge which subcontractors offer the best value for their project.
Building Remodel for Energy & Money Savings

Sharing Your Budget Streamlines the Pre-Construction Phase
When meeting a deadline is critical, here is one secret of the trade to save significant time during pre-construction. Give your contractor a ballpark budget before design and/or they start estimating. A building owner can take a shortcut in the preliminary phase and get to construction sooner when they have collaborated with their contractor on the budget to save time on over designing.
