Swing-down ceiling on exposed profile with Axess panel
Corridors with the need for repeated plenum accessPLAFOMETAL-CC-220 is a system adaptable to corridor dimensions. AXESS panels are self-supporting from wall to wall, avoiding the use of suspended grids in plenums crowded with numerous distribution networks. They create a hollow joint with the edges and have a very robust tilting system which, combined with a wide opening through tilting, will facilitate repeated maintenance phases throughout the building's life.
Selection guide
- Acoustic comfort
The advantages of the system
- Opening: swing-down from below and highly resistant to regular handling
- Acoustic: high correction, absorption coefficient αw up to 1 (NRC = 1)
- Insulation: good air and sound tightness
Description
- Swing-down opening ceiling consisting of panels hung on an exposed profile fixed to the wall and forming a closed reveal joint with the end of the panels
- Self-supporting steel panels with seamless edges and sharp angles
- The swinging of the panel is ensured by a system of axles connected to the profile by clips. This provides the panel with great robustness for regular handling
- The edge profiles consist of a visible part on the wall forming the closed reveal joint with the end of the panels. On the pivot side, an omega profile assembled under wall brackets ensures the support of the legs holding the axles and clips that ensure the swinging movement
- Acoustic enhancements available as an option

Cleanability
By nature, our metal ceilings require minimal maintenance. However, various types of cleaning are still possible. Please refer to the [Maintenance](https://www.plafometal.fr/conditionnement-mise-en-oeuvre-maintenance-an…) page in the Product Catalog Appendices for more details, including advanced cleaning with high-pressure and dry steam.

Reservations, integrations
Customized factory cutting available upon request.
-
Opening
Access to the plenum by vertically pushing the panel then laterally translating to escape from the edge profile on which the panel rests. The panel pivots and remains suspended on the pivot axes.
-
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 annexes for more details.
