Plywood Inspired Ceiling Design Ideas for Your Next Project
These days, more and more commercial and residential projects are including plywood ceilings as part of the design – and with the many benefits, it’s easy to see why.
Plywood is not only an attractive option for ceilings, it is also strong, durable, flexible and easy to work with. The natural look and feel it brings to an interior space is highly valued, plus, when you source plywood from sustainably managed forests, you also go a long way in minimising your environmental footprint. In addition, the soundproofing qualities of plywood assist with the acoustic performance, further adding to the comfort levels and enjoyment of the space.
With this in mind, it’s well worth considering a plywood ceiling for your next project – so to give you some insight into the design possibilities, in this article we’re sharing a selection of our favourite plywood inspired ceiling design ideas.
Plywood inspired ceilings in schools
Today’s schools are future-focused and centred around flexible and collaborative learning, and designers are seeing the potential and benefits of incorporating plywood ceilings into learning spaces to create a space where students can be their best.
Some recent examples include Traralgon Secondary School where Maxiply solid plywood ceiling panels were used extensively throughout the school to create a warmth and ambience ideal for learning. At Donvale Christian College Community Hub, both solid and perforated Maxi Veneer Plantation Oak panels where used to great effect, providing both acoustic and visual aesthetics to the space. The ability of ply to form curves and complex shapes is demonstrated in Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School’s gymnasium with our pre-finished Maxi Panel product the standout feature of this vibrant and unique space.
Plywood inspired ceilings in public places
Plywood ceilings are becoming increasingly prominent in public spaces, and the result can be quite spectacular. A standout project that showcased the immense design capabilities of plywood ceilings was the Cobram Library project. Our Maxi Panel product was used for the impressive ‘fins’ of the ceiling, which along with being visually stunning, they were also carefully positioned to subtly guide visitors through the space.
Plywood ceilings can also be used to create a sense of flow and unity between indoor and outdoor spaces. This is evident in the Lang Lang Sporting Club project, where the magnificent plywood-lined ceiling extends from the interior through to the external awning, bringing a wonderful sense of unity and balance to the building.
Plywood inspired ceilings in workplaces
Gone are the stereotypical stuffy and grey offices with lines of cubicles, thankfully being replaced by bright, vibrant and open spaces that encourage teamwork and collaboration. Plywood ceilings are a great choice for these next generation offices, with perforated ceiling tiles proving the perfect fit for meeting rooms and shared spaces, as seen in the Botanicca complex in Melbourne.
The Sealy of Australia headquarters uses ply ceilings as a welcoming feature in the lobby, where Maxiply Hoop Pine panels combined with black accents and subdued lighting provide staff and visitors with the perfect entrance.
Plywood inspired ceilings in residential interiors
Within the home, plywood ceilings can help you create a truly unique and showstopping design element that you’ll enjoy for many years to come. The Basin Beach House is a stunning example of this, with the wave-like roof lined inside with Maxi Panel ply, creating a captivating ripple effect.
The versatility of ply to be used for a wide range of design purposes is evident in the Red Hill House, where Maxiply Maxi Film Black lines the ceiling, absorbing light and bringing a calm, coolness and ambience to this striking modern home.
