Clients notice edges. A perfectly level grid with clumsy perimeter trim still reads as a cheap install. Getting wall angles, shadow gaps, and abutments right is where specialist ceiling contractors earn their fee.
Standard wall angle vs designer edges
Most commercial offices use painted wall angle. Shadow gap or recessed details suit receptions and boardrooms but need accurate dry lining tolerances.
Uneven walls are the real enemy
On refurbishments, plaster and blockwork wander. We pack and scribe carefully rather than forcing a bowed trim line that telegraphs every imperfection.
Colour and continuity
Matching trim to grid colour keeps the ceiling calm. Contrasting trims can work in feature zones but should be a deliberate design choice.
