Answering this question with "it depends on the project" is technically true but practically useless. An architect building a budget at concept stage needs a number; without one, they either skip drawing the surface system altogether or draw it without putting it in the budget. The second option is worse: by the time the project reaches the construction stage, the budget has already been allocated, and the surface system is first in line to be cut.
That's why we publish our price ranges openly, by product family. Including product and installation but excluding lighting: matte stretch ceiling runs €40–80/m², translucent backlit €50–100/m², gloss and printed €60–100/m², acoustic €75–150/m², and mirror stretch ceiling €200–400/m².
The gap between the low and high end of a range usually comes not from the material but from design and site decisions: the complexity of the geometry, whether a seam is acceptable (single-piece size), the span and structural solution, whether the edge detail is concealed or standard, ceiling height and access conditions, and the schedule. The same product can land at either end of the range depending on these six variables.
If the budget doesn't reach the target, giving up isn't the only option. A reflective surface doesn't have the same impact in every square metre — a welcome area or lobby produces far more perceptual impact than a corridor. Solving the focal surface in mirror and the background in matte or acoustic surface pulls the total budget down noticeably while largely preserving the space's impact. Phasing the scope is also possible: if the supporting infrastructure is set up correctly from the start, the second phase carries no extra infrastructure cost.
For the full set of per-product price ranges, the variables that determine price, and phased-scope options, see our budget planning guide. At concept stage, even before you have quantities in hand, we provide a free preliminary budget.
