New Drop & Slide ceiling system from SAS International: Design led practicality
12th July 2011
|
New to the market from SAS International is the cleverly designed Drop & Slide metal ceiling system. Drop & Slide looks like any other suspended metal ceiling system as it provides a flush finish. But where this product differs is its ingenious way of allowing access to the ceiling void for ongoing essential maintenance. As simple as it sounds, Drop & Slide enables access by simply ‘dropping’ the tile down from the ceiling grid and ‘sliding’ it across under the ceiling tile next to it. At a glance you will only see a tile missing rather than a tile hanging down into a corridor or room which may cause obstruction. The Drop & Slide metal ceiling tile sits in a specially designed channel which allows the panels to be pulled down with ease, whilst the grid holds it neatly in place, flat against the ceiling plane. This innovative framework creates a vertical bulkhead to provide functional M&E service access. The vertical bulkhead makes it ideal for constructing ceiling layouts in rafts, offering designers and architects increased design flexibility.
It is also ideal for use in hospitals as it enables a corridor to remain in use rather than having to close off the entire route when conducting essential maintenance to integrated services. SAS International is widely known as one of the world’s leading manufacturers of interior building solutions. SAS International, with headquarters in Reading, Berkshire, has an established reputation for its innovative approach, outstanding service and value. The quality of manufacture and finishing ensures the company generates products of exceptional durability, offering low maintenance solutions with a life-span in excess of 25 years. |
