Both Ceilings By Design and our sister company, Bris Aluminium, have been supplying materials for medical fit outs left, right and centre the past few months.
Find out our product recommendations for these kinds of projects and what solutions have been most popular.
How can Ceilings By Design help with my medical fit out?
1. Acoustic ceiling tiles designed for medical fit outs
The number one spot has to go to Armstrong Bioguard. These ceiling tiles are antimicrobial to prevent biocontamination; easily cleaned and disinfected and offer total acoustics performance (NRC+CAC) for quiet waiting areas and private consultation rooms.
We also recommend Armstrong Fine Fissured for a cost-effective solution. Pair this with Autex Cube panels for extra acoustics and choose from 80+ colours and prints to add interest to the space.
2. Biophilic elements
Biophilic design is becoming increasingly popular in all spaces, especially in healthcare. Despite how airy-fairy, woo-woo the concept might appear to be, there’s merit in the benefits of nature-inspired fit outs to ease stress and improve wellbeing.
Autex Timber is perfect as a lightweight, acoustic alternative to real timber, that looks just as good as the real thing! Autex also offers incredibly realistic faux stone printed on acoustic panels.
These two options, replicate the look and feel of natural materials without harbouring bacteria, mould or grime.
3. Studco and EZ Concept products
Did you know Ceilings By Design is a Studco and EZ Concept supplier? We can deliver cavity sliders, Ezy Jambs, Ezy Caps and Ezy Reveals for beautiful clean line finishes with less effort – perfect for medical centres.
4. Seismic products and in-house seismic design
Medical facilities can be anywhere from an Importance Level 2 to 4, depending on a variety of factors, which means your fit out will need to accommodate seismic design guidelines accordingly.
Ceilings By Design offer a range of seismic solutions including framing, wall angles and screw bolts, as well as in-house seismic design services to make sure your fit out is fully compliant with building standards.

5. Wheelchair-friendly doorways
Accessibility is a MUST for medical fit outs. When it comes to wheelchair access, you’ll need doors that are durable and easy to operate with specs compliant with Australian Building Standards:
- Door opening: minimum 850mm
- Handle and lock placement: 0.90m – 1.00m from the floor
- Threshold: avoid where possible; maximum 20mm from the floor
Bris Aluminium’s cavity sliders are spot on for this with a standard 1m wide carcass capable of fitting doors up to 1500mm wide.
6. Cam action door closers
If you’re opting for a hinged door, ask the Bris Aluminium team about a cam action closer. These door closers requires less force to operate, so another tick for ease of accessibility!
7. Skirting perfect for medical fit outs
Bris Aluminium produces some of the best skirting in the game with its most recent Low Mar powder coating upgrade. We’re talking tough as nails, built to last and a gorgeous inky black finish to match.
With superior resistance to wear and tear, your medical fit out finishes will look just as polished as the day they were installed, even in high-traffic areas like hallways and waiting rooms.
8. Door handles and locks
Bris Aluminium is a supplier of Häfele door hardware. They stock a variety of accessibility-friendly handles and lock kits in black and stainless steel options.
