How does integration of lighting fixtures differ between metal slats and gypsum ceilings?

Gypsum ceilings require precise cutting and finishing for recessed downlights or linear fixtures, often resulting in chipped edges and extensive re-plastering. In Astana’s modern high-rise apartments, installers frequently spend extra hours sealing plaster joints after fixture installation. In contrast, aluminum slat ceilings offer factory-cut or CNC-machined recesses in the slats to accommodate any standard luminaire. Custom extruded slats integrate linear LED modules flush with the profile, creating continuous lighting ribbons ideal for showrooms in Samarkand. Mounting clips secure fixtures directly to the grid, eliminating on-site plaster modifications. This modular approach reduces installation errors and ensures clean lines, saving time and costs across Central Asia and Russia.
