Ceiling clipped on concealed grid with Monobac tile
In halls, offices, and premises where hygiene is important, as well as outdoor canopies.PLAFOMETAL-SC-230 is a system suitable for discreet and uniform ceiling surfaces. Monobac tiles are clipped between concealed carriers. The ceiling, in its non-perforated versions, has good airflow for areas where hygiene is crucial. Access to the plenum is done through a specific tool to limit access to equipment, with a large opening from below to facilitate maintenance phases throughout the building's lifespan. This system can also be made tamper-proof and implemented outdoors.
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
