3-D wall
Three-dimensional ceilings can be arched, curved and adapted to any existing configuration. Since they do not adhere to the ceiling itself, but instead permit the installation of thermal and acoustic insulation, they avoid dampness. Star 3D can also be used to produce luminous ceilings by diffusing the light source uniformly into all or part of the room. Available in matte, gloss, translucent, satin or suede finishes. Installation connections do not show, and there are no visible tracks with the system either.
