How does ceiling art contribute to healing?
Ceiling art contributes to healing in several ways:
Distraction and Stress Reduction: Ceiling art provides a visual distraction for patients, helping to reduce stress, anxiety, and pain levels. By offering an engaging focal point, it can divert attention away from medical procedures or discomfort, promoting relaxation and comfort.
Positive Atmosphere: Colorful and uplifting artwork creates a positive atmosphere within healthcare environments, enhancing mood and overall well-being. Studies have shown that exposure to art can elevate mood, increase feelings of happiness, and improve emotional resilience.
Biophilic Design: Ceiling art inspired by nature, such as landscapes or natural patterns, can evoke biophilic responses that mimic the restorative effects of being in nature. This connection to the natural world has been linked to reduced stress, improved cognitive function, and faster recovery times.
Connection and Social Interaction: Art has the power to stimulate conversation and foster social interaction among patients, families, and healthcare staff. Shared experiences around artwork can create bonds and a sense of community, reducing feelings of isolation and loneliness.
Enhanced Patient Experience: Incorporating art into healthcare environments enhances the overall patient experience by creating a more aesthetically pleasing and welcoming space. Patients are more likely to feel valued, respected, and cared for in environments that prioritize their comfort and well-being.
Positive Distraction for Caregivers: Ceiling art not only benefits patients but also provides a positive distraction for caregivers and healthcare professionals. By creating a more visually appealing and calming environment, it can help reduce burnout and improve job satisfaction among staff.

By choosing Healing Ceilings, you're not just investing in superior products, but also in the growth and sustainability of our region.
Are your ceiling tiles easy to install?

Lightweight Construction: Our ceiling tiles are lightweight, making them easy to handle and maneuver during the installation process. This reduces the strain on installers and facilitates smooth and hassle-free installation.

How do I clean and maintain the ceiling art?
Cleaning and maintaining your Healing Ceilings art installations is simple and straightforward. Here are some tips to help you keep your ceiling art looking beautiful:
Regular Dusting: Use a soft microfiber cloth or a feather duster to gently remove dust and debris from the surface of the ceiling tiles. Regular dusting helps prevent buildup and keeps the artwork looking fresh.
Spot Cleaning: For minor stains or spills, gently wipe the affected area with a damp cloth or sponge using mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the artwork or the surface of the tiles.
Avoid Excessive Moisture: While our ceiling tiles are durable and moisture-resistant, it's important to avoid excessive moisture accumulation on the surface. Wipe up any spills or water droplets promptly to prevent water damage.
Professional Cleaning: For deeper cleaning or stubborn stains, consider hiring a professional cleaning service that specialises in cleaning acoustic ceiling tiles. They will have the expertise and equipment to safely and effectively clean the tiles without causing damage.
By following these simple maintenance tips, you can ensure that your Healing Ceilings art installations remain vibrant, beautiful, and long-lasting for years to come.

Healing Ceilings is a fine art provider.
We create fine art on ceiling tiles by working with local Australian artists and deliver the artworks to site.
Healing Ceilings takes responsibility for:
The imagery (the art, photographs and graphic design needed to create the ceiling art tiles.) We have artists in WA, SA, QLD, VIC and NSW whom we purchase from, and have contracts with, to keep our prices affordable and fair despite which artwork is chosen.
The delivery of structurally sound fine art products to the site. If there are damaged tiles upon delivery, they will be replaced.
For specialised projects, Healing Ceilings can use imagery created by or for the client. We can also enlarge the image across multiple tiles if the resolution of the image is good enough to do so.
Healing Ceilings does not provide, or take responsibility for:
The installation of the LUCA tiles, or the existing structural integrity of the suspended ceiling frame system that the tiles are installed into.
The installation of the CASA tiles, or the integrity of the existing plasterboard that the tiles are fixed onto.
Our products are to be installed by appropriately qualified personnel selected by our clients. For the stick-on CASA tiles, it is the responsibility of the installer to select an appropriate adhesive in consultation with an adhesive manufacturer and fix the tiles under their specifications. Healing Ceilings would be happy to provide contact details for an adhesive manufacturer that our clients have used in other projects.
Healing Ceilings is a simple design solution. We use already-made products, add colour to them and transform spaces for better patient experience.
WARRANTY:
Our ceiling art tiles are backed by a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Please note that this warranty does not cover damage caused by water exposure or accidental dropping of tiles during installation. In the event of faulty tiles, we are committed to resolving the issue promptly. We will either replace the product or provide a refund, ensuring your satisfaction with our products.
RETURN POLICY:
If the product is obviously damaged upon delivery, it's essential to document the damage by taking a photograph or video of the package and the damaged goods. Please send the documentation to info@healingceilings.com.au within 2 weeks of delivery. When initiating a return, the product must be returned in its original condition. We are committed to replacing your item swiftly and efficiently.
Please note that we do not accept returns for a change of mind. Additionally, designs on the tiles may vary slightly from the online mock-up; however, we strive to match them as closely as possible to what you see on the screen. Each design includes the artist's name for authenticity.
For any further inquiries or assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're here to address your questions and ensure your satisfaction.
SHIPPING & DELIVERY:
Shipping costs are calculated based on your location, with slightly higher rates for rural areas. Most of our deliveries are handled by Pack and Send, a trusted courier service based in Brisbane, Australia. Once your products are collected for postage, we will provide you with a tracking number via email. Please ensure that your email address is correct, and provide a phone number in case the courier needs to contact you.
Orders will only be shipped to the shipping address specified in your account. It's important to ensure that your address details are accurate. Shipping costs are added per pack during online sales due to the large size of the tiles. If you wish to purchase more than 2 packs, please email us at info@healingceilings.com.au to place a bulk order. We will provide you with a quote for bulk shipping beforehand, and you can pay via invoice instead of online. Full payment is required before the tiles go into production.
Your order will be delivered in an environmentally friendly cardboard box with cardboard corners for added protection. Due to the size of the package, we recommend that two people lift it at any one time to avoid strain. Standard shipping and delivery typically take 2-3 weeks. If you require faster delivery, please contact us directly, and we will do our best to accommodate your request.
