Selection guide

  • Acoustic comfort
  • Active fire protection

The advantages of the system

  • Aesthetics: panels with a modern look featuring hollow joints
  • Dimension: selection of various panel widths and lengths
  • Access: easily removable from below with wide access to the plenum
  • Acoustic: high sound absorption, αw absorption coefficient up to 1 (NRC = 1)

Description


  • Wall-to-wall closed suspended ceiling made of expanded metal panels hung on carriers forming a hidden joint
  • Self-supporting steel panels
  • The panels are equipped with notches at their ends allowing them to be suspended on the framework and dismantled from below
  • The carriers are made of aluminum
  • Acoustic enhancements as an option

Bulk cut

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 of light entry through the mesh depends on its installation direction, visually recognizable by its inclination.
    • Depending on the desired visual effect, panels can be installed in the same direction or alternated every two panels.

    *Aluminum option available, please contact us.

Performance

  • Indoor air quality

    Class A+ for all products:

    • Not filled
    • From the ALPHA PLUS range, with specific encapsulated insulation

    Class A for all products from the ALPHA PLUS range, with specific surface insulation

  • Sound absorption

    According to standard EN ISO 11654

    • αw up to 1 (NRC = 1) with the ALPHA PLUS range

    Refer to the table in the Acoustic Metal Ceilings brochure.

  • Acoustic complement

    ALPHA PLUS offer: specific acoustic insulation with a surface veil or encapsulated in a PE film.Refer to the Acoustic page in the Product Catalog appendices for more details.

  • Corrosion resistance

    Ceiling indoors

    • Class B according to standard EN 13964 for Steel frameworks
    • Comparable to Class A according to standard EN 13964 for Steel MESH panels (MESH not covered by this standard)
    • Comparable to Class C according to standard EN 13964 for aluminum MESH panels (MESH not covered by this standard)

    Suspensions and fixings to supports are to be selected according to the desired class
    Refer to the page Implementation in the Product Catalog's annexes for more details.

  • Cleanability

    By their nature, our metal ceilings require minimal maintenance. However, various cleaning methods are possible. Please refer to the Maintenance page in the Product Catalog appendices for more details.

  • Reservations, integrations

    Customized factory cutting on request.

  • Opening

    Access to the plenum by vertical push then lateral translation to escape the hook-on carrier. Release from the bottom by tilting it to one side.

  • Resistance to disinfection chemicals

    Our metal ceilings are resistant to sodium hypochlorite 2.5%, hydrogen peroxide 6%, or ethanol 70% disinfectants (according to EN 12720 and ISO 11998 regulations).

    Refer to the page Maintenance in the Product Catalog Annex for more details.

  • Active fire protection

    According to standard EN 12845

    • If there is sprinkler installation above the open cell ceiling panel, the total open flat surface area thereof, including lighting fixtures, shall not be less than 70% of the flat surface
    • In practice, a void percentage greater 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
