PLAFOMETAL-EM-130

MESH ceiling installed on exposed profiles with D5s and D4s panels

Ideal for :

standard horizontal circulations

PLAFOMETAL-EM-130 is a system adaptable to corridor dimensions. D4s D5s expanded metal panels are self-supporting from wall to wall, avoiding the use of suspended frameworks in plenums crowded with numerous distribution networks. They are directly laid on exposed edge angles, making it a standard and easy-to-install solution. Their robustness combined with a wide opening will facilitate maintenance phases throughout the building's lifespan.

Selection guide

  • Acoustic comfort
  • Active fire protection

The advantages of the system

  • Aesthetics: finishing of panels with seamless edges (D5s) or hollow joints (D4s)
  • Installation: simple and fast system, cost-effective and sustainable solution
  • Opening: easily removable with reduced demounting on hollow joint angles
  • Plenum ventilation: suitable for healthcare environments
  • Acoustics: high sound correction, absorption coefficient αw up to 1 (NRC = 1)

Description


  • Self-supporting ceiling composed of expanded metal panels installed on an exposed edge profile.
  • Self-supporting steel panels with butt joint (D5s) or hollow joint (D4s)
  • The panels can be easily cut to length during installation to fit the wall-to-wall distance.
  • The edge profile is an L angle or a hollow joint angle (W) which has the advantage of concealing wall irregularities while reducing the panel's reveal height in often cluttered plenums.
  • Acoustic accessories available 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 laying direction, visually recognizable by its inclination.
    • Depending on the desired visual effect, the panels can be installed in the same direction or every other one inverted.

    Customized factory cutting on request

  • Opening

    Access to the plenum by lifting the panel within the grid.

  • Resistance to disinfection chemicals

    Our metal ceilings are resistant to 2.5% sodium hypochlorite, 6% hydrogen peroxide, or 70% ethanol disinfectants (according to EN 12720 and ISO 11998 standards).Refer to the Maintenance page in the Product Catalog Annex for more details.

  • Active fire protection

    According to EN 12845When sprinklers are installed above the open suspended panel, the total open flat surface, 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 panel elements.Ceiling void percentage - Over 70%: RB35, RB55, RB55 XL, RB75- Over 80%: RB55 XL
