Types of Metal Ceilings

When selecting a suspended ceiling it is not necessary to take a ‘best fit solution'. We believe that each ceiling is different and requires a tailored approach, projects and buildings are not always square, demands from users vary and environmental concerns have to be taken into account.

SAS International work to supply a metal ceiling system that is tailored to the user's requirements, fulfilling various specification and sector demands.

This specification criteria can include acoustic demands, design, durability, installation, paint finish, integration, prefabrication, product standards, accessibility and maintenance.

To meet your design and performance requirements a different number of ceiling systems are available. Ceilings tiles can be suspended in a number of ways with visible and concealed grid options.

There are four principle types of metal ceiling systems and each of these are explained in depth:

Clip-in tiles

- have a concealed suspension grid.

System 120, System 150.

Hook-on tiles

- have a concealed suspension grid.
System 200, System 205.

Lay-in tiles

- have an exposed suspension grid.
* System 130, System 330.

Acoustic rafts or modules

- are suspended directly from the soffit, enabling natural thermal mass cooling. System 600.

In corridors where it is not possible to support a grid from the soffit suspension brackets can be used on the side walls, providing support to tiles to maximum widths of 3000mm.

*Lay-in tiles can be tiles and grid manufactured in modular sizes, for example 600 x 600mm, or
larger profile suspension systems where tiles are manufactured to meet building module size
up to 1500 x 1500mm mega panels.
