A Star ceiling can be one of the most delightful finishes to a home cinema room possible. We’ve partnered with Starscape to enable us to install their wonderful Infinity Star ceilings. These are made up of black felt covered panels populated with fibre-optic “stars”. The fibres are bundled together to a simple ferrule, which allows a number of panels to be driven from an LED light source. Using fibre optics means that typically only one source is needed and is simple. The fibres give rise to different sized “stars”, and these can be made to “twinkle” and have a range of colours if required, adding to the delight.

Ceiling support

The Star Panels are typically 1m x 1m boards, and are attached to the ceiling via magnets, “sticking” to steel channels suspended from the ceiling joists. In this way there are no fixings visible, and a very neat finish can be achieved. The panels also have security tethers, this is because when a ceiling panel is pulled away from the steel channels, the magnets often release all together, and the panel will fall away from the unwary.

Planning & Execution

The ceiling supports have to be installed accurately so that the Star Ceiling is in the correct place, and this requires some careful planning, measuring and marking. We are able to make up special sized and shaped panels to fit odd-shaped ceilings, however these require a bit more effort to ensure the panels can be supported correctly.
