Grid systems are one of the most innovative systems – ready to install and dimensionally stable. They are protected from corrosion as they are roll-formed out of hot-dip galvanized steel. Being pre-engineered and pre-decorated, these durable ceiling grid systems can be set up in no time at all.
Benefits
Suspended Ceiling Grid Systems have a wonderful reputation for their reliability, versatility and aesthetic qualities. Fire Resistance: To ensure safety, all components are provided with fire expansion notch on the body section of the main runner (except in light duty system), 450 mm from one end to allow expansion during fire. All systems have been successfully tested and are capable of providing effective protection to structural steel sections supporting a fire resistant floor for a period not less than 60 minutes. Material: Suspended Ceiling Grid Systems are roll-formed out of hot-dip galvanized steel, providing effective protection against corrosion.
Applications
Suspended Ceiling Grid System is compatible with all standardized fittings and fixtures for air-conditioning ducts and diffusers, smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, sprinklers etc. These also provide excellent accessibility to all related service facilities and for routine maintenance.
