IMG-20240408-WA0009

At Grit Ceilings, we specialise in delivering premium ceiling solutions tailored to both residential and commercial projects throughout Alberton, Gauteng, and surrounding regions. With over a decade of experience, our skilled team uses the finest materials and industry-leading techniques to ensure every installation is durable, aesthetically pleasing and built to last. 

Suspended Ceilings

Suspended ceilings (also known as drop ceilings) are a versatile choice for offices, retail spaces and educational facilities. By installing a metal grid system below the structural ceiling, we create a hidden cavity that accommodates lighting, HVAC ducts and cables—while improving acoustics and thermal performance.

  • Why choose suspended ceilings?

    • Concealed wiring and plumbing for a clean finish.

    • Easy access panels for maintenance of electrical and mechanical systems.

    • Enhanced sound insulation, reducing echoes in busy environments.

Our team sources high-grade ceiling tiles resistant to moisture and sagging, ensuring a flawless appearance year after year. Each installation is precision-aligned to maintain perfectly level edges and consistent tile spacing.

6.4 mm Strip Ceilings

Our 6.4 mm strip ceilings offer a sleek, minimalist aesthetic that suits modern interiors, loft conversions and high-end retail outlets. Comprised of narrow gypsum or composite boards, these strip ceilings create continuous linear patterns that draw the eye and lend a sense of spaciousness.

  • Benefits of strip ceilings:

    • Slim profiles that conceal ducting and cables without bulk.

    • A contemporary, streamlined look ideal for hospitality venues and showrooms.

    • Ease of installation and straightforward panel replacement when required.

Each panel is cut to precise dimensions and installed with concealed fixings, producing an uninterrupted visual flow. Our installers ensure that each joint is seamlessly finished and ready for decoration.

Ceiling Panels

Ceiling panels present a flexible solution for both functional and decorative requirements. We supply and fit a wide range of panels—ranging from moisture-resistant options for bathrooms and kitchens to high-density acoustic panels for studios and conference rooms.

  • Key advantages:

    • Moisture-resistant panels ideal for humid areas, preventing mould and warping.

    • Acoustic panels that absorb sound and improve overall comfort in busy spaces.

    • A variety of finishes and textures—from smooth, white panels to decorative patterns.

Our experts help you choose the right panel type based on your project’s environment, budget and desired aesthetic. Each panel is measured, cut and fixed using corrosion-resistant clips or adhesive, depending on the application.

4 mm Nutec Ceilings

Nutec ceilings remain a popular, cost-effective choice for areas prone to moisture—such as bathrooms, kitchens, carports and covered patios. Constructed from cement fibre boards, Nutec panels offer exceptional resistance to humidity and prevent sagging or discolouration over time.

  • Why Nutec?

    • Excellent moisture and termite resistance, ideal for South African climates.

    • Smooth finish ready for paint or textured coatings.

    • Durable performance, even in outdoor or semi-outdoor applications.

Our installation process includes careful joint sealing and sanding, leaving a flawless surface that can be decorated to match your interior scheme. We also provide Nutec ceiling repair and replacement services should existing panels show signs of damage.

Flush Plastered Ceilings

For a truly seamless and high-end finish, a flush plastered ceiling is unmatched. By applying a thin coat of plaster directly over a gypsum board or Nutec substrate, we create a perfectly flat surface—ideal for recessed lighting, integrated cornices and bespoke decorative features.

  • Benefits of flush plastered ceilings:

    • Smooth, uninterrupted expanse that conceals joints and fixings.

    • Customisable profiles with coved edges, bullnose details or feature bulkheads.

    • Ready for any finish—paint, wallpaper or specialised textured coatings.

Our licensed plasterers hand-mix and apply each layer by trowel, ensuring consistent thickness and crisp edges. Once cured, the surface is sanded to perfection and primed for decoration

PVC Ceilings

PVC ceilings are an affordable, lightweight and low-maintenance option—especially suited to kitchens, bathrooms, carports and outdoor entertainment areas. Available in a variety of colours and wood-grain finishes, PVC panels resist moisture, termites and UV damage.

  • Key features of PVC ceilings:

    • Quick installation with click-lock or tongue-and-groove systems.

    • Easy cleaning—simply wipe down with a damp cloth.

    • No need for painting or redecoration; panels retain their appearance for years.

We carefully measure each area, install a timber or aluminium framework, and fix PVC panels with concealed clips to produce a uniform finish. All edge trims and cornices are matched to the panel profile for a neat, polished look.

Ceiling Cornices

Add the perfect finishing touch to any room with decorative ceiling cornices. Whether you prefer classic plaster mouldings or contemporary polyurethane designs, our cornice installations elevate the transition between wall and ceiling—creating depth and architectural interest.

  • Advantages of professional cornice installation:

    • Hides minor imperfections at wall-ceiling junctions.

    • Offers a polished, cohesive look for traditional and modern interiors alike.

    • Available in an extensive range of profiles—from simple curves to ornate Victorian styles.

Our cornice specialists take precise measurements, mitre-cut each length and joint, then fill and sand to achieve a flawless connection. Once installed, they can be painted to match your décor or highlighted with contrasting colours.
