 SUSPENDED & ILLUMINATED CEILINGS
Easily installed DIY suspended ceiling kits have for more than 20 years been a major seller for DIY PLASTICS (UK), the UK's leading retail supplier of plastic sheeting and associated DIY and home improvement products. We supply and deliver all over the UK, to all parts of England, Wales, Scotland (including the Scottish Isles) and Northern Ireland. Established in 1973, the business has built up a wide range of quality plastic products to suit the trade user, the experienced DIY enthusiast and the ordinary householder alike. Here is a summary of our LUMITE suspended ceiling range - please follow the links or use our Product Selector on the left or Search Facility above for more details of each product. Or ask for our full colour catalogue with details and prices of our full range, many more illustrations and lots of useful hints & tips for working with plastics.

Suspended and illuminated ceilings are a major focus of DIY Plastics, since we have long recognised the capacity to transform a room that a “Lumite” suspended ceiling possesses.

The amount of light present in a room is perhaps the greatest contributing factor to its overall appeal. Illuminated ceilings greatly boost a room’s light levels because they can produce light uniformly across the whole room, rather than emitting it outwards from a single central bulb. Suspended and illuminated ceilings also ensure that all this extra light is being cast over attractive interior features by helping to hide unsightly pipes and walls.

The panels of these suspended and illuminated ceilings are an attractive addition to any room in their own right. DIY Plastics is proud to stock a wide range of these to suit any interior design scheme, such as Polystyrene panels with Crushed Ice or Prismatic patterns (both of which are available in Opal or Clear colours), as well as “Louvre” open lattice patterned panels and more straightforward white acoustic panels.

As well as contributing in such a big way aesthetically, suspended and illuminated ceilings can also boast many practical advantages. They remove the need for decorating and are easily fitted yourself, since the ceiling frameworks are designed to be ‘loose-laid’ and so square up as the panels are inserted, meaning no complicated cutting or measuring. Furthermore, the various panel types may be used on their own or in combination with each other to meet individual practical needs. For instance, “Louvre” panels let air through for extra ventilation, whilst the white acoustic panels reduce condensation and heat loss, so a combination of the two in your suspended and illuminated ceiling would achieve both.


lumite suspended ceiling
A LUMITE suspended ceiling will add so much to your room (most especially a kitchen or bathroom) - brings extra light, hides unsightly pipes & fittings, cuts down condensation, eliminates the need for redecoration & reduces heating bills.

CEILING FRAMEWORK is cleverly designed so that it is in effect "loose laid" - the framework is squared up as the panels are inserted, eliminating the need for complicated measuring and precise location. The visible face of the framework is crisp white easy-clean uPVC, and the main tees (which span the shorter dimension of the room and carry most of the weight) are stiffened with a hidden aluminium strengthener for maximum support.

ceiling panels
CEILING PANELS We offer a choice of panels for your Lumite ceiling - translucent polystyrene for stylish shadow-free lighting, louvre, which let air and light through but hide fixtures & fittings, for air circulation, and solid textured acoustic to reduce condensation and increase insulation. You can build a ceiling with just one type of panel or make it up with a combination - perhaps mainly acoustic with 3 or 4 lighted panels and a couple of louvres for extra ventilation.
