The Ceilingo radiant stretch ceiling at the Juliens Wood showroom

Why a showroom settles the question in ten minutes

A radiant ceiling cannot be judged on a data sheet or on a video, because what it produces is a sensation. Walking into a room fitted with one settles in minutes a discussion that could last an hour, and that is why we want the network to have one.

What you notice first

The absence of air movement. There is no draught, no noise, and nothing to locate with the eye. It is that absence which surprises, more than the warmth itself: people instinctively look for where it comes from.

What to do during the visit

Move around the room, sit down, stand up, go into a corner. It is by changing position that evenness is measured, and that is exactly what a convector cannot stand up to. Touching the ceiling tells you nothing: it works at a temperature close to that of skin.

The questions that come next

How much it consumes, what it costs to fit, and whether the house lends itself to it. Those three are dealt with on the spot, drawing in hand, and that is why a showroom is worth more than a brochure.

What a distributor adds

They know the local building stock, the construction habits of the region and the trades who will be working there. On a renovation job that knowledge is often worth as much as the technology itself. An old lath and plaster ceiling is not treated like a concrete slab, and nobody knows that better than someone who opens them every week.

Our other demonstrations are presented on the Ceilingo showroom page, and the network on the heated ceiling installer page.
