Double-skin linear open cell ceiling with Grilam I grid
retail circulation areas
PLAFOMETAL-OC-210 is a linear cellular ceiling system concealing the plenum from indirect view while allowing air and light to flow. It features a strong directional appearance desired for long ceiling surfaces. Grilam I panels are hooked onto an invisible integrated grid blending seamlessly with the grid elements.
Selection guide
- Active fire protection
The advantages of the system
- Aesthetic: reinforced linear appearance. The integrated grid blends in with the panel and offers a choice of ceiling color (depending on quantity). The whole setup conceals the plenum from indirect view while maintaining a sense of space and light.
- Safety: significant open area for active fire protection systems.
- Practicality: grid and panels delivered in a kit.
- Accessibility: swing-down option on semi-concealed carrier Grilam B.
Description
- Linear cellular ceiling made up of grid panels installed on an integrated frame
- The panel consists of vertical U-shaped aluminum elements (double skin) forming a rectangular perforated mesh with a directional appearance due to the upward offset of the transverse elements. These are equipped with hooks at their ends
- The frame is made with the same longitudinal U-shaped elements as the grid and equipped with notches to hook the panels
- The frame/panel assembly of the same material allows for a choice of ceiling color as needed. It is possible to have the upper transverse elements in black for a more reinforced linear appearance

Active fire protection
According to the EN 12845 standard:
- If sprinklers are installed above the open cell suspended ceiling, the total open flat surface area, including lighting fixtures, must not be less than 70% of the flat surface.
- In practice, a void percentage greater than 80% is commonly requested for ceiling elements.
- Greater than 70% for all meshes of all models
- Greater than 80% for all meshes of the Grilam i5 and from the 200 x 75 mm mesh size for the Grilam i9
- For other meshes, please contact us.
