FAQ

The Canaletto SMART concept is the result of years of research aimed at developing a system that guarantees the most essential features for suspended ceilings.

 

Our range of solutions was born from the expertise and needs of our current Technical Manager (a former master craftsman and business owner), who addressed all the challenges encountered during specific installations – challenges that continue to define the art of creating a perfect suspended ceiling to this day.

  • ALIGNS THE SUSPENDED CEILING WITH WALLS THAT HAVE A TEXTURED FINISH;
  • ENHANCES THE AESTHETIC QUALITY OF THE SUSPENDED CEILING;
  • ALLOWS FOR THE INSTALLATION OF LIGHTING FIXTURES (LEDS, SPOTLIGHTS, ETC.).
  • ENSURES FLEXIBILITY AT THE JUNCTION BETWEEN THE WALL AND SUSPENDED CEILING,
  • REDUCING STRUCTURAL LOADS;
  • OFFERS THERMO-ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE;
  • MAKES INSTALLATION STRAIGHTFORWARD.

Driven by these needs, Canaletto Smart Srl, based in Altamura, has launched industrial production using advanced technologies and, in collaboration with various professionals, is able to operate throughout the country.

Today, Canaletto Smart Srl has a company structure that operates with a partnership approach. Our philosophy is: Professionalism, Teamwork, Experience and Expertise.

Business owners in the interior finishing industry are always on the lookout for products that enhance their company’s image while being easy to install, even for more complex and unique structures. This helps to ensure shorter timeframes and appropriate compensation for the work done.

These are critical factors that all craft businesses consider to stay competitive and dynamic in a market where high labour costs can be especially challenging for small and medium enterprises.

The Canaletto SMART system embodies the qualities typical of a high-end product: easy to work with, straightforward to install, with reliable joint strength and a high-quality aesthetic finish. That is why the Canaletto SMART system deserves the attention of all interior finishing professionals.

When we closely examine the connection between some suspended ceilings and walls, whether modular or plasterboard, we often notice many unpleasant imperfections that are not always fixable, even when the work is done by skilled artisans, as it is ultimately manual labour.

Looking at suspended ceilings with a modular structure, the perimeter trim applied to the wall is visually unappealing due to imperfect gaps caused by the wall or plaster’s unevenness. This significantly impacts the overall aesthetic of the suspended ceiling and, consequently, the space itself.

In the case of plasterboard suspended ceilings, we notice other flaws, such as imprecise corner joints between the ceiling and the wall, especially if the wall is a darker colour than the suspended ceiling;

The perimeter gap, made with current techniques, follows all the wall’s imperfections;

Plaster detachment in the area near the suspended ceiling-wall junction. These issues arise because there is no perimeter profile that separates the movements of the two structures, corrects, and perfects the connection between the suspended ceiling and the wall.

If you compare the installation times of two suspended ceilings – one installed using the traditional method with a U-shaped perimeter guide directly fixed to the wall, with the corner reinforced and plastered using micro-perforated tape (which comes with all the difficulties this process entails), and the other using the Canaletto SMART system – it becomes clear that the time required to install a traditional suspended ceiling is significantly longer than that for a suspended ceiling fitted with Canaletto SMART. In this respect, the Canaletto SMART system stands out as an effective answer to all the questions within the dry construction systems market.

Canaletto SMART is made from a material called WATER-RESISTANT MDF

“Medium-Density Fibreboard”.

After thorough research and careful analysis of the many materials available today to create the Canaletto SMART profile, WATER-RESISTANT MDF achieved the best results, passing both physical and mechanical tests conducted in the laboratory.

This material is very well-suited to this type of work. In fact, manufacturers of doors, mouldings, and skirting boards often use it to achieve excellent results with lacquered finishes.

Canaletto SMART itself, on the inner side, is finished with a white water-based single-component primer, allowing it to be finished with any type of water-based paint following the correct preparation of the suspended ceiling.

DOES THE CHARACTERISTICS OF WATER-RESISTANT MDF CHANGE OVER TIME?

Since WATER-RESISTANT MDF contains resins that make it moisture-resistant, even when exposed to thermal stress, it remains very durable and its characteristics are highly stable over time.
