MESH ceiling hung on concealed grid with D92s and D92t panels
Entrance halls and media libraries
PLAFOMETAL-EM-210 is a system with a strong aesthetic appeal. The D92s and D92t expanded metal panels are self-supporting between carriers, and the wide hollow joint left around the perimeter 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
- Aesthetic: panels with a pronounced appearance due to wide hollow joints
- Dimension: choice of different panel widths and lengths
- Access: easily removable from below with wide access to the plenum
- Acoustic: high correction, absorption coefficient αw up to 1 (NRC = 1)
Description
- Wall to wall suspended ceiling made of expanded metal panels suspended on carriers forming a large concealed joint
- Self-supporting steel panels
- The panels are equipped with an interior hook-up at their ends allowing them to be suspended on the structure
- The carriers are made of steel
- Optional acoustic additions

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 every other panel can be reversed.
