MESH ceiling hooked on semi-concealed carrier with D11s and D11t panels
The reception halls and media libraries
PLAFOMETAL-EM-230 is a system with a modern aesthetic appearance. The D11s and D11t expanded metal panels are self-supporting between carriers, and the hollow joint left around the periphery gives the ceiling an airy design. Their robustness, combined with a large opening from below without the need to undress them in the plenum, will facilitate maintenance phases throughout the life of the building.
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

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.
