Stretching the limits of ceiling solutions
Seamless stretch ceilings and illuminated ceilings, designed and installed from our Brisbane base — anywhere in Queensland.
The idea
No fittings. No glare. No shadows. One seamless surface of even light — the ceiling itself becomes the light source.
Day to night
One room. One ceiling. Every hour.
This is an illuminated stretch ceiling doing its quiet work — see how it's done.
What we do
Ceilings that carry the room.
Colour on command
Pick the light. The room follows.
There is no colour chart, because there is no shortlist. The LED system is controlled from an app on your phone: tuneable white from candlelight to daylight, and any colour beyond it. The whole ceiling changes at once — the room follows.

Rooms we've lit.
Recent work across Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne. Every image is our own install — no stock, no stand-ins.
Where it works
Different rooms ask different things of their light.
Living rooms, kitchens and garages carried by one even surface of light — no downlight grid, no glare on the screen, no shadows over the benchtop or the bonnet.
Offices, showrooms, receptions and everything between — any space where people work or wait reads calmer and more considered when light arrives as a surface, not a scatter of points.
Product looks the way it was designed to look when the whole ceiling is the light box.
A dining room holds its mood at every hour — bright through service, drifting warm and low as the evening settles.
Waiting rooms and treatment spaces feel measurably calmer under even, shadow-free light — and a printed ceiling gives patients somewhere good to look.
A non-porous membrane shrugs off humidity, and a gloss finish doubles the water in the ceiling.
How it happens
From first look to lights on.
Consult
We look at the room, what it is for, and what the light needs to do — then give you straight answers and a clear written quote.
Design & measure
The ceiling is measured precisely and drawn. Membrane, track and lighting are specified to your room, not adapted on site.
Manufacture
Your ceiling is fabricated to those measurements with our manufacturing partner UltimaMax in Melbourne.
Install
Track goes up, the membrane is tensioned into place, the light comes on. Installs are clean work — no wet trades, minimal mess.
Behind every ceiling
In partnership with UltimaMax, Melbourne.
Illuminex ceilings are designed and manufactured with UltimaMax, an established Melbourne designer and manufacturer of ceiling and light-distribution systems with a substantial commercial and retail portfolio. For you it means proven systems and established manufacturing behind a Queensland specialist — our brand, honestly backed.
Questions
Asked and answered.
A PVC membrane made to your room's exact measurements, tensioned into a slim perimeter track to form a perfectly flat ceiling — a single piece can span up to around a hundred square metres without a join. It installs below your existing ceiling, covers cracks and stains in one visit, and never needs painting.
Yes — that is the usual case. The track fixes around the room's perimeter and the membrane tensions beneath the existing ceiling. How much height it takes depends on the job — the finish, and whether lighting or services sit above the membrane — and we confirm the exact clearance at measure.
Yes. The membrane is non-porous and unaffected by humidity, which is why stretch ceilings are widely used over pools, spas and bathrooms where plasterboard struggles.
The membrane can be locally de-tensioned by an installer, the work done above, and the same membrane refitted without damage. Access hatches can also be designed in from the start.
Matte, high gloss, mirrored, translucent for backlighting, printed, and micro-perforated acoustic — each in a wide colour range. Illuminated ceilings can be fixed white, tuneable white, or full colour, controlled from an app.
