Costs for painting a ceiling grid

Painting a suspended ceiling costs €5 - €12 per square meter. In most cases you cover the actual grid where the tiles are located and replace any tiles with new ones. Installation costs for a suspended ceiling range from €1,000 to €2,300. Although it costs a little more, it is usually a better option to maintain the acoustic functionality. 

Note: For commercial purposes, painting a suspended ceiling may void the warranty as well as break fire or building codes. Always check with your contractor about possible code violations before attempting this yourself.

Cost to Spray Black Ceiling

The cost of painting your ceiling black ranges from €1,000 to €3,000 for a typical ceiling. Black helps bring the ceiling components together.
