Selection guide

  • Acoustic comfort

The advantages of the system

  • Installation: simple and fast system, cost-effective and durable solution
  • Acoustic: high correction, absorption coefficient αw up to 1 (NRC = 1)
  • Opening: easily removable with reduced demounting on hollow joint angle
  • Aesthetic: finishes of panels with flush or hollow edges, sharp or chamfered angles

Description


  • Self-supporting ceiling made up of panels laid on an exposed edge profile
  • Self-supporting steel panels with flush or recessed joints, sharp or chamfered angles
  • Depending on the model, the panels have open-ended extremities (OE) that can be easily trimmed during installation to fit the wall-to-wall distance. They can also be provided trimmed to length with straight raised ends (SRE) for improved lateral rigidity and finishing on the edge
  • The edge profile is an L-shaped angle or a recessed joint angle (W) that effectively conceals wall irregularities while reducing the panel's height drop into often crowded plenums
  • Optional acoustic enhancements
