PLAFOMETAL-EM-120

MESH ceiling hooked on concealed profiles with D11s and D11t panels

Ideal for :

Office and hospital corridors

PLAFOMETAL-EM-120 is a system that can be adapted to the dimensions of corridors. The D11s and D11t expanded metal panels are self-supporting from wall to wall, avoiding the use of suspended grids in plenums cluttered with numerous distribution networks. They create an elegant reveal joint with the wall. Their robustness, combined with a wide opening from below, will facilitate maintenance phases throughout the building's life.

Selection guide

  • Acoustic comfort
  • Active fire protection

The advantages of the system

  • Aesthetics: panels on concealed structure with staggered edge joint to absorb alignment differences with the wall for a perfectly straight finish
  • Opening: demountable from below, ideal for crowded plenums
  • Plenum ventilation: suitable for hospital environments
  • Acoustics: high correction, absorption coefficient αw up to 1 (NRC = 1)

Description

  • Self-supporting ceiling made up of expanded metal panels hung on a concealed edge profile forming an open gap joint between the panel ends and the wall
  • Self-supporting steel panels with jointed edges
  • The panels are equipped with notches at their ends for suspension on the structure
  • The edge profile consists of a fixing range to be attached to the wall and a hanging profile to be offset and fixed under the wing of the range according to the length of the panel between notches. It allows the open joint formed to absorb alignment deviations with the wall
  • Acoustic enhancements available as an option

Bulk cut

A gap A is required between the panel and the wall. Dimensions in mm.

Appearance

  • Expanded mesh

    Dimensions

    • Mesh: Geometry WL x WD - LG x Th
    • Panel: width in the WL direction of the mesh, length in the WD direction

    Installation

    • The direction in which light enters through the mesh depends on its installation direction, visually identifiable by its tilt.
    • Depending on the desired visual effect, panels can be installed in the same direction or every other one inverted.

  • Active fire protection

    According to standard EN 12845

    • If sprinklers are installed above the open cell suspended panel, the total open flat surface area, including lighting fixtures, must not be less than 70% of the flat surface
    • In practice, a void percentage higher than 80% is commonly requested for panel elements

    Ceiling void percentage

    • Above 70%: RB35, RB55, RB55 XL, RB75
    • Above 80%: RB55 XL

  • Reaction to fire
