How do I ensure ceiling tiles meet fire safety regulations in schools?

Look for tiles with Class A fire ratings (non-combustible) and compliance with BS 476 / EN 13501 standards. Knauf TOPIQ® Alpha tiles are tested for fire resistance, making them ideal for educational buildings where safety is a priority.

How can I improve light reflectance in dim classrooms?

Opt for high Light Reflectance (LR) tiles (≥ 0.85) in white or light colours. Knauf TOPIQ® Alpha tiles enhance natural and artificial light distribution, reducing energy costs while creating brighter learning spaces.

Do suspended ceilings work with integrated HVAC and lighting systems?

Absolutely! Modular suspended ceilings (such as TOPIQ Alpha installed on a Knauf suspension system) allow for seamless integration with air vents, LED panels, and sprinklers, ensuring both functionality and aesthetics.
