Precision-extruded 50mm round tube ceiling system with 1.0mm wall thickness. Features dedicated carrier channels (1.0mm or 2.0mm, selected by suspension span), standard 100mm or 150mm center-to-center spacing, and injection-molded color-matched end caps. Creates rhythmic linear ceiling planes ideal for transit hubs, commercial lobbies, and architectural landmarks.
Ballesta tubular ceiling system consists of precision-extruded aluminum round tubes (Alloy 6063-T5) suspended on a concealed carrier channel system, creating a clean, rhythmic linear ceiling plane with open gaps between tubes. This open design allows natural airflow, integrated LED lighting, and convenient access to overhead building services.

Ballesta tubular ceiling system delivers a distinctive rhythmic ceiling aesthetic that combines clean linear design with practical performance benefits.
Precision-extruded 50mm diameter with 1.0mm wall thickness. Clean cylindrical profile creates a rhythmic linear ceiling aesthetic that suits both contemporary and classical architectural styles.
Choose 100mm or 150mm center-to-center spacing. 100mm creates a tighter, denser look; 150mm offers a more open, airy feel - ideal for integrating LED linear lighting strips between tube rows.
Dedicated carrier channels available in 1.0mm and 2.0mm thicknesses. Select based on suspension span and load requirements. Individual tubes can be removed for maintenance without disturbing adjacent tubes.
Each tube comes with injection-molded plastic end caps spray-painted to match the tube color. This delivers a clean, professional finish at both ends - essential for exposed-edge and open-perimeter installations.
The open spacing between tubes allows flexible integration of LED linear lighting, pendant fixtures, sprinklers, speakers, and HVAC diffusers. The 150mm spacing is especially suited for lighting strips between tube rows.
Class A fire rated per ASTM E84 and BS 476. Aluminum 6063-T5 construction with PVDF or powder-coat finish provides long-term resistance to corrosion, UV degradation, and daily wear.
Complete system components for the tubular ceiling installation.
Standard installation sequence for the tubular ceiling system. Choose carrier thickness (1.0mm or 2.0mm) based on suspension span.
Install suspension hanger rods from the ceiling structure at designed spacing. Adjust rod length to achieve a uniform ceiling plane.
Mount dedicated carrier channels onto hangers. Select 1.0mm or 2.0mm thickness based on suspension span. Level and align the carrier system.
Snap 50mm round tubes into carrier clips at 100mm or 150mm spacing. Each tube clips securely and can be individually removed for maintenance.
Fit injection-molded plastic end caps onto tube ends. End caps are spray-painted to match the tube color for a clean, finished appearance.
The 50mm tubular ceiling system excels across a wide range of architectural environments - both interior and semi-exterior.

Our standard tubular ceiling uses 50mm outer diameter round tubes with 1.0mm wall thickness, precision-extruded from 6063-T5 aluminum alloy. Standard installation spacing is 100mm or 150mm center-to-center. Tubes are available in custom lengths up to 6000mm. Custom diameters are available for special projects.
The 1.0mm carrier is suitable for standard suspension spans in typical ceiling installations. The 2.0mm carrier is recommended for longer spans or where greater structural rigidity is needed. Your project engineer can determine the appropriate thickness based on the suspension layout and span requirements.
Yes! Every tube is supplied with injection-molded plastic end caps that are spray-painted to match the tube color. This ensures a clean, professional finish at both ends - particularly important for open-perimeter installations where tube ends are visible to occupants.
Yes, with appropriate finish selection. PVDF-coated tubes are suitable for semi-exterior applications such as covered walkways, transit platform canopies, parking garage ceilings, and outdoor corridors. Consult our technical team for full exterior exposure recommendations.
Standard finishes include PVDF (Kynar 500) fluorocarbon, polyester powder coating in any RAL color, and anodized finishes. End caps are color-matched to your selected finish. Stocked colors include white (RAL 9016), silver metallic, and black (RAL 9005). Custom colors match any architectural specification.
The open spacing between tubes makes tubular ceilings highly compatible with lighting integration. LED linear lighting strips can be installed between tube rows - the 150mm spacing is ideal for standard-width LED strips. Pendant fixtures and downlights can be supported from the ceiling structure above the tube plane.
For a truly seamless look, we can customize lighting tubes with the same 50mm diameter and finish as the standard ceiling tubes. These integrated lighting tubes are visually identical to non-lighting tubes when switched off, blending perfectly into the ceiling plane. When illuminated, they glow to provide ambient or accent lighting. This solution achieves a clean, uninterrupted tubular ceiling aesthetic where you can't tell which tubes are lights until they're turned on.
