Suspended Ceiling systems are used most often in commercial projects or basements where easy access to electrical and HVAC systems may be necessary. A Fiber Optic Star Ceiling can be incorporated into a drop ceiling system quite easily. You can use standard acoustic panels either in their standard white color or paint them a color of your choosing as long as the panels are made of a rigid material. FOSI has found that (2’ x 2’ x ¼”) or (2’ x 4’ x ¼”) PVC panels, which come in a variety of colors, make fiber installation the easiest. Even with a drop ceiling system you can still include animated shooting stars and comets in your star field design. Remember to NEVER use glue on the fibers. Most glue will make the fibers brittle after several years and cause them to break. |

Q4. What is a FOSI Star Ceiling Large Panel System? |
|
Any size ceiling can be fabricated from panel sheets. We use the popular light-
weight MDF panel for this kind of installation. The image below shows three 4'x8' panels configured to make up a 8' x 12' ceiling. The image surface of the panels are sanded, primed, sanded again then finished in either a color or a fabric material. We recommend a deep sky blue for a star ceiling, but any color will work well. The darker the color the more effective the star field effect. The carpet like fabric that can be used comes in a variety of colors, but either a dark blue or black works the best. All painted panels can have hand painted clouds added. Fabric panels cannot. |
|
The edges of the MDF panels are expertly milled for a tight fit. The panels are then slotted along the edge and biscuits are fitted into the slots of a panel. When the panels are fitted together the biscuits keep the panels even along the surface. The seam between the panels is very tight and not annoyingly visible. An alternative to painted panels is fabric laminated to the panels. This makes the seams almost unnoticeable and helps with acoustic reflection. |

Q8. What are the customizable options and features of a FOSI Star Ceiling?
A8. In short, everything! First, there are no size or shape limitations (see Question 6). Beyond that, the list of customizable features includes Hand-Painted Clouds (see Question 7), Comets, Shooting Stars, Constellation Stars, Constellation Outlines, Fireworks with Sound Effects, and even the star field map itself. By customizable, we mean that the star field can be any location in the heavens to various scales (scale can be optimized for ceiling height); the fireworks can be various sizes, colors, bursts, and locations; the Constellation Outlines can be any color and shape (got a favorite date? initials? sports jersey number?); the Constellation Stars twinkle randomly; Shooting Stars are wall-to-wall in any direction or location; and Comets can be located anywhere on the ceiling. If you have any other ideas, we'll be glad to discuss them. The sky really is the limit! |
