Selection guide

  • Acoustic comfort

The advantages of the system

  • Installation: low profile (50 mm) in reduced plenums
  • Acoustic: high correction, absorption coefficient αw up to 1 (NRC = 1)
  • Opening: tilting from below, ideal for crowded plenums, and robust handling
  • Insulation: good air and noise tightness

Description


  • Opening swing-down ceiling made up of panels hooked on an exposed profile fixed to the wall and forming a closed gap joint with the end of the panels
  • Self-supporting steel panels with seamless edges and sharp angles
  • The panels are equipped with specific notches at one end for resting on the structure and a specific fold at the other end for pivoting on the structure. This provides the panel with robustness during handling
  • The edge profiles consist of two pre-assembled profiles: one forming the visible part on the wall forming the closed gap joint with the end of the panels, and another one ensuring, depending on the side, the resting or swinging function
  • The overall dimensions of the system (panels and edge profiles) in the plenum do not exceed 50 mm
  • Optional acoustic enhancements
