Selection guide

  • Acoustic comfort

The advantages of the system

  • Dimensions: choice of various linear strip and panel widths. Panel length is adaptable to the facade grid spacing
  • Acoustic: high sound absorption, αw absorption coefficient up to 1
  • Installation: simple and secure with panel hook ends to prevent any panel falling when the ceiling grid is fully opened
  • Opening: easily removable with wide access to the plenum

Description


  • Wall-to-wall suspended ceiling composed of panels placed on exposed carriers, either flat bar or shadow gap type
  • Self-supporting steel panels with continuous edges and sharp angles
  • The panels are equipped at their ends with straight raised edges (BRD) and hooks on each side to rest on the structure
  • The hooks allow the panel to slide on the structure during installation, facilitating the filling of each bay while preventing them from detaching from the supporting structure, installed without primary connecting grids that clutter the plenums
  • Acoustic enhancements available as an option

Bulk cut

Flat hollow bead or flat bead, Dimensions in mm.
