Selection guide

  • Acoustic comfort

The advantages of the system

  • Aesthetic: large panel ceilings on concealed framing with offset edge joint allowing to absorb alignment deviations with the wall for a perfectly straight finish
  • Acoustic: high correction, absorption coefficient αw up to 1 (NRC = 1)
  • Opening: swing-down on both sides from underneath, ideal for crowded plenums, and resistant to handling

Description

- Opening swing-down ceiling made up of panels hung on a concealed profile forming a closed hollow joint between the end of the panels and the wall- Self-supporting steel panels with seamless edges and sharp angles- The panels have raised inner hook ends (BRIC) at their extremities, allowing for their suspension on the structure and swinging to one side or the other. This provides the panel with robustness for handling and the possibility of larger dimensions- The edge profile consists of a take-up flange to be fixed to the wall and a hanging profile to be shifted and fixed under the flange's wing according to the length of the panel between notches. It allows the closed hollow joint thus formed to absorb alignment deviations with the wall- Optional acoustic enhancements

Bulk cut

A gap A is required between the panel and the wall. Dimensions in mm.
