Selection guide

  • Acoustic comfort
  • Outdoor installation

The advantages of the system

  • Aesthetics: ceiling with a discreet and uniform appearance
  • Hygiene: good water, air, and particle permeability that can be enhanced by implementing a joint between panels
  • Acoustic: high sound correction, absorption coefficient αw up to 1 (NRC = 1)
  • Access: demountable from below for plenum access using a specific tool
  • Safety: possibility to secure plenum access
  • Installation: suitable for outdoor installation

Description

  • Wall to wall closed suspended ceiling made of clipped panels on concealed carriers
  • Steel or aluminum Clip-In type panel with seamless edges and chamfered angles (possible with sharp edges) with a strip on all 4 sides allowing clipping even in case of cuts
  • Standard installation: the secondary T carrier, where the panel clips, is connected to a primary U carrier by a very simple to install link hanger, allowing easy adjustment of spacings between carriers.
  • Two alternative installation options: secondary T connected to the primary U by a steel wire bracket; secondary T directly suspended, without a primary carrier
  • Acoustic enhancements as an option
  • The ceiling's waterproofing can be reinforced by using a silicone seal in the peripheral chamfers (visible) or in the strips (concealed) of the panels
  • Installation possible outdoors under certain conditions
