Vaulting a ceiling is the process of editing and opening up an existing flat ceiling to form an open, sloped design that enhances spatial and architectural interest. First and foremost, look at the roof structure to make sure it supports the changes, and consult a structural engineer if needed. Take out the flat ceiling, and let the rafters or truss joists go raw. Provide other beams for strengthening the structure if needed to accommodate the new design. After your framework is done, the next step is to add insulation to keep it thermally efficient. Aluminum ceiling panels are a great light-weight, flexible option that can give a sleek and modern finish, matching the design of the vaulted area. Aluminum panels can be customized to the slope and provide a clean, modern appearance. The outcome is a bold ceiling that enhances the perception of space and melds elegantly with aluminum facades for a uniform approach to the architectural style.
