Problems of Sagging Ceilings

  • Diminishes the attractiveness of the space and the original design

  • Inconvenience to end users (Ceiling chip and soil easily and frequent replacement is required)

  • Higher maintenance / replacement cost for both ceiling and grid

Why ceiling sags?

High Humidity
Sagging ceilings are a possibility  in any application where there's exposure to moisture as a result of high humidity.  Asia environment is generally humid with relatively high temperature.  Therefore ceiling is more prone to sagging in Asia area.

Timing of Ceiling Installation

If ceiling systems install prior to the activation of the HVAC systems, ceilings in this type of environment are especially prone to sagging,  increasing replacement costs.

Intermittent or Seasonal Use of Facilities

HVAC system may be shut down for extended periods of times such as during summer holiday for school or long weekend holiday.  Lack of humidity control makes ceilings susceptible to sag,  mold and mildew.

Air Handling Systems

Newer ventilation systems circulate an higher percentage of outside air through a building to improve high  quality,  increase in more humid outside air increases possibility of sagging.
