Selection guide

  • Acoustic comfort
  • Outdoor installation
  • Active fire protection

The advantages of the system

  • Aesthetics: panels with a pronounced look enhanced by wide hollow joints
  • Dimension: selection of various panel widths and lengths
  • Access: easily removable from below with a wide access to the plenum
  • Safety: lockable panels for installation in sports facilities or outdoors (aluminum panels only)
  • Acoustics: high sound correction, absorption coefficient αw up to 1 (NRC = 1)

Description


  • Wall-to-wall suspended ceiling made of expanded metal panels hooked on carriers forming a wide hollow joint
  • Self-supporting panels in steel or aluminum (outdoor)
  • The panels have an interior raised hook (BRIC) at their ends for hanging on the grid
  • The carriers are made of steel and have inserts for screwing a plate to lock each end of the panels face to face
  • Optional acoustic supplements

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 light enters through the mesh depends on its orientation, visually recognizable by its tilt.
    • Depending on the desired visual effect, panels can be installed in the same direction or every other one reversed.

Performance

  • Indoor air quality

    Class A+ for all products:

    • Unfilled
    • From the ALPHA PLUS range, with specific encapsulated insulation

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

  • Sound absorption

    According to the EN ISO 11 654 standard,

    • 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 surfaced with a veil or encapsulated in a PE film
    Refer to the Acoustic page in the Product Catalog annexes for more details.

  • Corrosion resistance

    Ceiling indoors

    • Class B for standard steel frameworks according to standard EN 13964
    • Corrosion resistance C1 according to EN 12944 for standard steel MESH panels (not covered by EN 13964)
    • Corrosion resistance 2a according to EN 13096 for aluminum MESH panels (not covered by EN 13964)
    • Suspensions and fixings to supports are to be selected according to the desired class
    • Refer to the page Implementation in the Product Catalog Annexes for more details.

  • Cleanability

    By nature, our metal ceilings require minimal maintenance. However, various types of cleaning are possible. Please refer to the Maintenance section in the Product Catalog Appendices for more details.

  • Reservations, integrations

    Customized factory cutting available upon request.

  • Opening

    Access to the plenum by unlocking the plate with the appropriate tool, then vertical push and lateral translation to escape from the hanging carrier. Clearance from below by inclining 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 standards).

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

  • Active fire protection

    According to EN 12845

    • If sprinklers are installed above the open-cell suspended panel, the total open flat surface area of it, 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
  • Reaction to fire
