Stretch Fabric Ceiling Installation at a Gym — Beverly Centre, Islamabad | Newon Project Case Study

Newon designed and installed a warm white backlit Barrisol-style stretch fabric ceiling across three custom panels totalling ≈217 sq ft (≈20.1 sq m) at a fitness centre in Beverly Centre, Islamabad. The system uses Newon 4W, 24V DC block LED modules at engineered spacing to deliver a seamless, glare-free luminous surface above workout zones — installed in three days with zero disruption to gym operations.

This case study documents the full installation: module grid layout, fabric stretching, and the final warm white result — with exact panel dimensions, module specifications, and the engineering decisions behind them.

The Design Challenge: Lighting a Gym the Right Way

Gym ceilings are one of the hardest commercial lighting environments in Pakistan:

• Glare kills performance. Members look upward during presses, pull-ups, and machine work. Exposed tube lights and downlights create harsh glare points reflected in mirrors and equipment screens.
• Long operating hours. Fitness centres in Islamabad run 12–16 hours daily. Under NEPRA’s commercial tariffs, inefficient lighting is a permanent operating cost.
• Heat and humidity. Workout zones raise ambient temperature and moisture — fixtures must run cool and stay sealed.
• Premium ambiance demand. Beverly Centre is a premium commercial plaza; the gym needed a finish that photographs well and matches modern interior expectations.

Newon’s solution: a fully backlit stretch fabric ceiling. The translucent membrane converts hundreds of individual LED points into one continuous, shadow-free luminous surface — no visible dots, no glare, no dark patches — while 4W modules keep running costs minimal.

The System: What Went Into the Ceiling

Component	Specification
LED Modules	Newon block modules — 4W per module, 24V DC low voltage
CCT	3000K warm white — premium, welcoming ambiance
Module Layout	Engineered grid density across all three panels; 10–15cm light-to-fabric distance for hotspot-free diffusion
Frame & Channel	Aluminium perimeter track; fixing centres ≤150mm; cavity depth set within the 60–200mm optimal band
Membrane	Translucent stretch fabric (~0.2mm, ~75% light transmission), harpoon-edged into track
Power	24V DC drivers sized at total module load + 20% safety margin; wide-input 100–250V for WAPDA fluctuation tolerance
Control	Standard switched circuits (dimmable / smart-control upgrade path available)
Safety	Low-voltage 24V ceiling void; flame-retardant membrane (EN 13501-1 B-s1,d0 class)

Why 4W block modules? For a warm white ambient ceiling at this panel depth, Newon’s 4W, 24V block modules deliver the required luminance at the lowest heat and energy load — critical in a space that runs air-conditioning 14+ hours a day.

Installation Process — Three Documented Phases

Phase 1: Frame & Module Installation

Aluminium perimeter tracks were fixed and levelled to laser tolerance around all three panel openings. The 24V block module grid was then mounted inside the cavity at engineered spacing, wired to the drivers, and fully light-tested before any fabric was stretched — Newon’s non-negotiable quality gate.

Phase 2: Fabric Stretching

The translucent membrane was heated and stretched into the harpoon groove of the perimeter track — panel by panel — producing a perfectly flat, wrinkle-free surface across the 18ft linear runs and the 8.5 × 14.5 ft main panel.

Phase 3: Commissioning & Handover

Final uniformity inspection, edge trim finishing, circuit testing, and handover. The result: a single seamless warm white luminous surface across all three panels — no visible LEDs, no seams, no glare.

The Result: Warm White, Zero Glare, Minimum Running Cost

• Seamless luminous surface — 217 sq ft of continuous 3000K glow with no hotspotting across mirrors or machine zones
• Glare-free environment — members and trainers work under diffused light, not exposed fixtures
• Energy-efficient operation — 4W modules at 24V keep the ceiling’s draw minimal across 14+ hour days
• Cool, sealed ceiling void — low-heat LEDs and a sealed membrane suit gym temperature and humidity conditions
• Premium visual finish — a photograph-ready ceiling that elevates the gym’s brand inside Beverly Centre
• Fast, clean installation — completed in 2 days with no plaster, no dust, and no structural ceiling work

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can stretch fabric ceilings be used in gyms and fitness centres? A: Yes. Backlit stretch fabric ceilings are ideal for gyms: the membrane diffuses light into a glare-free surface, the 24V low-heat modules suit warm humid environments, and the sealed cavity protects the LED grid from dust.

Q: What size panels did Newon install at the Beverly Centre gym? A: Three panels: two linear panels of 2.6 ft × 18 ft and one main feature panel of 8.5 ft × 14.5 ft — totalling approximately 217 sq ft (20.1 sq m) of illuminated ceiling.

Q: Which LED modules were used in this gym ceiling? A: Newon 4W, 24V DC block LED modules in warm white (3000K), laid at engineered spacing with a 10–15cm light-to-fabric distance for uniform, hotspot-free diffusion.

Q: How long did the gym ceiling installation take? A: Two days, including frame fixing, module installation, light testing, fabric stretching, and final commissioning — with no dust or plaster work.

Q: What is the cost of a stretch fabric ceiling for a gym in Pakistan? A: Plain white/warm white backlit stretch ceilings start from Rs 30,000 per sq m (≈ Rs 2,790 per sq ft) with Newon. Final pricing depends on panel sizes, cavity depth, module density, and control type — WhatsApp your dimensions for an exact quote.

Q: Does Newon handle stretch ceiling projects outside Islamabad? A: Yes. Newon supplies and installs stretch fabric ceilings nationwide — including Rawalpindi, Lahore, Karachi, and Peshawar — with end-to-end design, printing, module supply, and installation.
