Swing-down island suspended on furring and end cap with Steel B island
structuring the volume of the ceiling as an acoustic complement in open-plan offices
PLAFOMETAL-FH-120 is an acoustic ceiling island system. STEEL B islands simply hook onto transverse furring channels framed between the facade joinery, allowing full-height partitioning between islands. Their accessibility will facilitate maintenance phases in their heating and cooling version throughout the building's lifespan.
Selection guide
- Acoustic comfort
The advantages of the system
- Acoustics: excellent acoustic properties
- Aesthetics: suitable for alignment with facade grids
- Installation: simple and economical on studs equipped with hanging end caps
- Opening: swing-down panel, suitable for reversible radiating ceiling
Description
- Acoustic ceiling island made up of one or several panels simply hooked on transverse furrings
- Steel panels with straight edges and sharp angles
- The panels are equipped on their longitudinal sides with an inner raised edge with a hook allowing them to be suspended on the structure and swung to one side or the other
- The panels are filled with a mineral insulation specific to high acoustic performance
- The transverse furrings are fitted with end caps allowing for the attachment of the panels

Sound absorption
According to standard EN ISO 11 654:
- Significant Equivalent Absorption Area (Aeq): ratio of m² sabin / m² of the product up to 1.8 in speech frequencies.
- Acoustic performance subject to selected perforation and suspension height.
The Aeq - defined as the product of the acoustic absorption coefficient and the surface area of the measured panel - is an imaginary area given in m² with an absorption coefficient α sabin of 1 per frequency band.

-
Opening
Swing down by vertical push of the panel then lateral translation to escape the end caps. The panel tilts and remains suspended from the opposite end caps.
-
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.
