System Description

SAS System 330, linear or tartan grid, is a lay-in tile system that provides functionality and outstanding performance with a range of cost effective design options. System 330 offers the facility to design the ceiling to any building grid size. Tiles are available in a range of shapes and sizes to meet individual project requirements. System 330 ‘Coolceil' incorporates a Radiant Chilled Ceiling element in the rear of the tile. Supported from either an Omega C-Profile with a M6 thread form or a plain C-Profile. Both profiles can be fitted with a gasket that provides a tight seal between profile and tile.

System features:

Infinite range of modules for any building module
Flexible layouts for relocation of partitions
Optional Radiant Chilled Ceiling solution
Optional hinge down mechanisms
Minimum 25-year product life expectancy

C-Profile Options The C-Profile (standard) suspension grid is available in a range of widths. An optional foam gasket features a brush seal strip that provides a tight seal between profile and tile, (supplied loose for on-site installation). By introducing C-Profile cross noggins at modular centres a two-dimensional tartan grid can be achieved. The Omega C-Profile features a continuous thread-form that allows the easy location and relocation of partition heads by means of an M6 bolt, without causing damage to the ceiling.

Extruded Aluminium Profiles A range of narrower aluminium extruded C-Profile and Omega C-Profiles are available to meet design requirements. The profiles can be suspended from either an Emac channel or direct from the soffit.

Service Integration SAS metal ceilings tiles can be supplied with factory formed apertures. ‘C' Profiles can also be supplied with factory formed apertures for service integration. System 330 panels can be supplied with stiffeners to support centrally mounted luminaires. The flexible nature of System 330 means that solutions can be engineered to meet individual project requirements.

Mock Crossing Boxes Our traditional tartan grid system, SAS System 335, utilised Trim strips (C-Profiles) and Crossing Boxes suspended from threaded rods and hanger brackets. System 330 can replicate these crossing boxes by pressing mock crossing boxes into the C-Profile or Omega C-Profile. The use of C-Profiles provides a more rigid ceiling structure than traditional crossing boxes.

System 330 Accessibility SAS can provide a range of hinge solutions that allow simple and safe access to the ceiling void for service maintenence. This is particularly important when larger panel sizes are used with the additional weight of luminaries or other integrated services. Touch Latch and Pivot Pin Utilising a fixed bolt, which can be unscrewed to facilitate the release of the panel in instances where complete tile removal is necessary. The touch-latch release mechanism allows access by simply pushing the panel up to release the end of the panel.

Flying Arm The flying arm is a hook-over bracket supplied fixed to the upstand of the panel. Access is obtained by pushing up the other end of the panel sliding back to reveal the flange and lowering to a vertical position (lift & tilt).

Hinge Notch The hinge notch is used in conjunction with the SAS French Hook, it allows tiles to be hung vertically from C-Profiles providing clear unobstructed access to the ceiling void. This enables runs of tiles to be hung together during maintenance without causing damage to the tile. System 330 tiles can be supplied with a SAS French Hook detail, the tiles feature a continental downturn flange that hook over the C-Profile.

Safety Cables Safety cables are recommended for all hinged options to avoid the panel swinging down out of control. When the tile integrates luminaires or a chilled ceiling, safety cables should be used to avoid any potential damage to the service.
