FORT Facility Kft. - Surface cleaning, cleaning

Suspended ceiling cleaning and coating is a specialist interior cleaning and refurbishment service for suspended ceiling tiles, exposed grid ceiling systems, plastic and metal ceiling components, as well as associated mechanical and building-services surfaces. The aim of the service is to restore dirty, dusty or visually worn suspended ceilings, giving them a cleaner, more uniform and renewed appearance.

During the process, the suspended ceiling components are dusted and cleaned on-site. Plastic and metal surfaces are also degreased using specialist cleaning agents where required. In the case of exposed grid ceilings, the support grid is cleaned separately so that the entire ceiling achieves a clean and uniform overall finish.

Where the condition of the suspended ceiling requires it, cleaning can be complemented by coating. In these cases, the room is carefully protected with sheeting and masking, meaning that in most situations it does not need to be completely emptied. A dispersion-based coating is spray-applied to the ceiling tiles, providing a more uniform appearance after a relatively short drying period.

The purpose of selecting the appropriate coating system is to preserve the functional characteristics of the suspended ceiling as far as technically possible: the surface should remain porous, the tiles should remain removable from the grid, and the ceiling should continue to perform its intended acoustic and dust-absorbing functions. The coating material can also be tinted, allowing the refurbished ceiling to be adapted to the interior design or corporate visual environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should cleaning and coating be chosen instead of suspended ceiling replacement?

Cleaning and coating can be advantageous when the suspended ceiling tiles are still structurally sound but have become dusty, discoloured or visually inconsistent with the condition of the space. In these cases, refurbishment can provide a faster and more cost-effective alternative.

Does the room need to be emptied before the work begins?

In most cases, the room does not need to be completely emptied. Before work begins, surfaces, furnishings, equipment and sensitive areas are protected with masking and sheeting. The exact preparation method is always determined according to the layout, size and use of the room.

Does the suspended ceiling retain its original functions after coating?

The coating system is selected with the aim of ensuring that the ceiling surface remains porous, the tiles remain removable from the support grid, and the system can continue to perform its intended acoustic and dust-absorbing functions. Where specific technical requirements apply, we assess the suitability of the coating separately before work begins.

Can the suspended ceiling coating be tinted?

Yes. The coating material can be tinted, allowing the refurbished ceiling to be adapted to the interior, brand identity or design concept. This can be particularly useful in offices, retail spaces, institutions and representative interiors.

How soon can the room be used again?

The coating achieves a usable finish after a relatively short drying period. The exact timing depends on the size and ventilation of the room, the condition of the suspended ceiling and the scope of the work. In many cases, once the protective coverings have been removed, the room can be returned to use within approximately 4 hours.
