Premium supply-and-install ceiling solutions for offices, education, health, retail, hospitality, industrial and government environments throughout the ACT.
Clean finishes. Strong performance. Installed by commercial specialists.
INSTU delivers Ceiling Systems Canberra that improve acoustics, conceal services, support lighting, meet safety requirements and create polished commercial interiors. Each ceiling type is selected based on the performance needs of the space — from high-traffic retail to quiet consulting rooms.
Below is our full range of commercial ceiling solutions with expanded detail for clarity.
Grid and tile ceilings remain the most practical choice for many commercial buildings due to their fast installation, service accessibility and cost efficiency.
These systems consist of a suspended metal grid that holds tiles made from acoustic, plaster, mineral fibre or metal materials.
Grid ceilings make it easy to integrate lighting, air diffusers, sprinklers and cabling — keeping everything tidy, concealed and accessible for maintenance. They also provide reliable acoustic absorption and are suitable for both new fitouts and tenancy refurbishments.
For a clean, seamless look, Suspended Plaster Ceilings offer a continuous surface that works well for commercial interiors where refined presentation and acoustic control are needed.
These ceilings are fully framed, sheeted, set and prepared for paint, making them popular in offices, hospitality venues, clinics and reception areas. This system is perfect for spaces where the visual finish matters as much as functional performance.
Feature and bulkhead ceilings are installed to shape commercial spaces, guide movement, create architectural definition and provide dedicated recesses for lighting or mechanical systems. Unlike decorative elements, these structural features serve practical purposes such as zoning and supporting transitions between different ceiling heights.
Ceiling Feature elements help create depth, improve clarity of space and ensure your lighting design aligns correctly with the ceiling structure.
Managing sound is essential in modern workplaces, classrooms, studios, medical environments and open-plan offices. Acoustic Panel Ceilings absorb sound, reduce echo and improve overall comfort.
These solutions enhance speech clarity, reduce distractions and make shared environments more comfortable, especially where conversations need privacy or where noise levels tend to rise throughout the day.
For high-durability environments or areas requiring both airflow and acoustic performance, Perforated & Custom Metal Ceilings provide a premium commercial solution.
Metal ceilings withstand frequent cleaning, heavy foot traffic, and high moisture or temperature variations.
Many perforated metal ceilings include acoustic backing for sound absorption without compromising the metal’s durability and longevity.
Whether your space needs quiet meeting areas or controlled sound levels in educational or fitness environments, INSTU provides tailored acoustic ceiling solutions. We pair tiles, insulation and perforated systems to achieve the right level of absorption.
Where required, ceilings must meet fire ratings under NCC/BCA regulations.
Our Fire-Rated Ceiling Assemblies incorporate specialised boards, framing systems and certified fire-stopping measures to achieve the necessary FRL.
Commercial ceilings often act as a major barrier to heat transfer. INSTU installs ceiling systems that support the correct thermal insulation (R-Value), improving comfort, temperature stability and building efficiency.
These solutions are essential for government, office and healthcare buildings where environmental performance matters.
In certain buildings — especially those with structural movement allowances or engineering constraints — ceilings must meet seismic/structural rating standards.
We install compliant systems and ensure suspension, bracing and fixing methods follow engineering requirements.
We assess acoustic, fire, thermal and structural performance needs.
Clear system recommendations and cost breakdown.
We coordinate installation around electrical, HVAC and fire services.
Fast, accurate, clean and fully integrated with other trades.
We verify alignment, compliance and finish quality before completion.
This depends on acoustic requirements, access needs, performance ratings and the desired finish. We provide clear recommendations.
