Ceiling wrapping at Sydney Airport T1
The ceiling upgrade at Sydney Airport’s T1 International Terminal brought our architectural wrapping skills into an overhead working environment. Existing ceiling panels were refinished as part of the wider upgrade.
Our contribution focused on surface preparation and film installation. Working above the occupied level introduced access and positioning challenges that needed to be considered alongside the finish itself.
Existing panels and a new surface finish
Refinishing suitable ceiling panels allowed those panels to remain in use. The installation depended on preparing the sections and handling the material carefully while working overhead.
This is a different task from applying a film to an accessible wall. Equipment, reach and the position of each panel affect the method and working sequence.
Planned overnight installation
The work took place within planned overnight windows using elevated access equipment. Our team adapted its installation approach to the platforms and site conditions while maintaining attention to the edges and finished surface.
Coordinating preparation and access helped the team make use of the available working periods. These arrangements are a substantial part of planning any overhead refurbishment.
Practical experience for demanding sites
The project adds to our experience across commercial ceilings, lifts, retail fixtures and workplace surfaces. Each needs an installation method suited to the material, substrate and access.
If your project involves a difficult ceiling or restricted working hours, send the drawings, photographs and site requirements early. We can assess the wrapping scope and discuss what is needed to carry it out.
