Barracuda began as a residential ceiling installer in Auckland. After years of fitting ceilings ourselves, we started making the product, and today it is manufactured by Continuous Group Auckland on our own roll formers in Takanini. Because we have done the installing, we design everything we make around what saves time on site.

What we specialise in

Our specialty is steel ceiling battens and the clip systems that go with them, for direct fix, clipped, acoustic and suspended ceilings. They are made from NZ made galvanised steel, cut to the length of each room and delivered ready to install.
