Acoustic Ceiling Tiles Tailored to Every Sector

Education Acoustic Ceilings

Creating effective acoustic ceiling solutions for schools and universities is vital to support learning, communication and academic success. Zentia’s acoustic ceiling systems comply fully with BB93 acoustic standards, optimising acoustic comfort in classrooms, lecture theatres, libraries, and dining halls.

The Prestige Family

The Prestige Family of suspended ceilings offers both aesthetic appeal and exceptional acoustic performance. Whether for lively canteens, busy corridors, or SEN classrooms, the Prestige Family helps reduce reverberation, improve speech intelligibility, and promote wellbeing across campus settings.

With our brightest white finish across all tiles in the range and 34 dynamic Prestige Colour options, this range empowers designers to energise or calm a space as needed.

Six edge details are available to suit varying acoustic and visual requirements. For example, Tegular24 and Tegular15 edges introduce depth and sound diffusion, especially when paired with a black or grey ceiling grid.

For uninterrupted ceiling visuals, the Integra and Conceal edge types eliminate shadows, creating a sleek, monolithic surface ideal for study zones and lecture halls.

The Oplia Family

For even higher acoustic performance, the Oplia Family offers our most advanced range of sound-absorbing ceiling tiles. Suitable for classrooms, libraries, and breakout areas, Oplia tiles combine up to Class A sound absorption with excellent sound attenuation, supporting calm, productive learning environments. With six complementary designs, Oplia enables a consistent visual finish across entire education projects without compromising on acoustic effectiveness.

The Aruba Family

The Aruba Family offers a flexible, high-performance ceiling solution perfect for varied educational settings. Available in a range of shapes, sizes, and edge details, Aruba tiles combine consistent visual appeal with reliable acoustic function, making them ideal for both collaborative and quiet learning spaces.

Sonify – ceiling canopies, baffles and wall absorbers

To complete the picture, our Sonify range of baffles, canopies, and wall absorbers offers both acoustic control and creative freedom. With 17 shapes and a variety of colours, Sonify allows for vibrant, engaging ceiling designs that stimulate learning while delivering Class A sound absorption. Colour can also be used for zoning and wayfinding, helping students to navigate buildings and signalling which spaces are for quiet learning.

Commercial Office Ceilings

Modern office design is shifting towards people-focused spaces, and acoustic ceiling solutions are key to their success. From Shell & Core to Cat B fit-outs, Zentia’s ceiling systems such as Prestige, Oplia, and Aruba support everything from open-plan offices to quiet meeting rooms, and are fully recyclable through our Pinnacle Partner scheme.

As trends like hotelification bring comfort and hospitality-inspired finishes into the workplace, and biophilic design introduces natural textures and tones to enhance wellbeing, ceiling design plays a central role in shaping the look, feel, and acoustic performance of the space. The rise of industrial office design, with exposed concrete ceilings, adds another layer of complexity, requiring smart acoustic treatments to manage sound.

Zentia’s expertise in office acoustics, zoning, and tailored design ensures our ceiling solutions enhance both aesthetics and functionality. With acoustic performance now a priority in modern offices, Zentia helps create workspaces that are stylish, sustainable, and built for productivity.

The Prestige Family in particular is an excellent choice for office interiors, balancing sound absorption and attenuation to control ambient noise and support confidential conversations. Its finely textured surface adds a modern, clean finish, enhancing visual appeal while delivering practical acoustic benefits for open-plan areas, meeting rooms, and shared spaces.

Retail Ceiling Systems

In retail, atmosphere shapes the customer experience. Create calm and pleasant environments that make shoppers feel more comfortable and more likely to spend time browsing in store. Zentia’s solutions support engaging, acoustically balanced spaces that promote intuitive navigation and brand expression. Noise levels and sound quality can affect how customers perceive the brand. Loud, chaotic spaces might feel stressful or cheap, whereas well-managed acoustics feel professional and inviting.

Our DecoMesh range of metal ceiling tiles brings a modern, industrial feel to retail environments. Available in eight colours, six mesh patterns, and three edge details, these metal mesh ceiling tiles are powder coated for durability and visual impact. Pairing DecoMesh with Sonify Wall Absorbers alongside Sonify canopies and baffles ensures both acoustic performance and striking aesthetics, helping retailers create spaces that encourage longer dwell times and positive brand interactions.

Leisure & Hospitality Ceilings

In leisure and hospitality, creating the right atmosphere is essential, and sound plays a major role. Whether it’s the lively buzz of a restaurant, the calm of a spa, or the welcoming feel of a hotel lobby, good acoustics help shape guest experience. Poor sound control can lead to discomfort and distraction, while thoughtfully designed acoustic ceilings promote relaxation, conversation, and enjoyment.

Zentia’s acoustic ceiling solutions combine high-performance sound absorption with elegant finishes, perfectly suited to leisure and hospitality environments. Our systems help reduce noise, enhance speech clarity, and improve overall comfort without compromising on style. From vibrant bars to quiet hotel rooms, our ceilings support every mood and setting.

Investing in quality acoustics means more than controlling noise—it means creating memorable spaces where guests feel truly at ease. With Zentia, sound becomes part of the experience.
