What are the benefits of open cell ceilings?

Nowadays, many commercial spaces attract attention with their unusual and futuristic ceiling designs, which are created with the help of open cell ceilings. These suspended structures are made from integral honeycomb panels with built-in lighting systems.

Open cell ceiling tiles are produced by an open cell ceiling panel machine through processes such as uncoiling, leveling, punching, rolling, and shearing of metal raw materials.

Industrial building participants are increasingly interested in open cell ceilings, explaining their remarkable durability, low maintenance requirements, and the potential to conceal various engineering communications between structural elements and floors. This article will delve into the details of open cell ceilings.

An open cell ceiling is characterized by its open grid design, with the entire ceiling grid mainly composed of main frames, secondary frames, intermediate upper and lower beams, and other components. The small 600x600 mm squares can be assembled and disassembled independently.

1. Edge L-profiles. Responsible for forming the horizontal support framework around the room‘s perimeter, ensuring the quality of the ceiling-wall connection.

2. Various Guides. Longitudinal carriers, transverse supports, and intermediate connectors for assembling the load-bearing grid. In the standard version, the metal grid consists of squares with a side length of 600 mm.

3. Finished Grid Panels. Made of thin-walled metal profiles, available in sizes such as 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, 7.5x7.5, 10x10, 15x15, and 20x20 cm.

4. Single System Fasteners. In the form of spring suspensions, which connect the power frame to the base at the points of the guide rail cross lines.

The prototype of the open cell ceiling was a modest household item, such as a pavilion with a grid-like ceiling area. This pavilion, with its lattice structure, helped residents in southern regions grow grapes while serving multiple important functions. The grid-like ceiling acted as a lattice for hanging vines, providing ample sunlight while protecting climbing plants from the harsh sun.

In the 20th century, Italians began decorating terraces with lattice elements, and this idea was later embodied in the creation of open cell ceilings. In 1970, wood was used to manufacture this structure, and later aluminum began to be used for this purpose.

1. Moisture and Hygiene. These honeycomb systems are suitable for installation in high-humidity rooms. The structure resists leaks, pathogens, fungi, and mold.

2. Ventilation. The honeycomb structure provides absolute permeability, allowing expensive ventilation equipment to work efficiently and facilitating the free removal of combustion products in case of fire.

3. Good Acoustic Quality. By equipping the grid with panels, the noise associated with climate control systems can be absorbed.

4. Environmentally Friendly. Aluminum, used for profiles and rolled metal, is considered an eco-friendly material that does not release toxic compounds.

5. High Reflectivity. Due to the variability of electrical installations, there are extended possibilities for metal profiles and lighting designs.

6. Ease of Disassembly. The structure can be moved to another area without losing the original appearance of the grid panels or compromising the integrity of the power frame. Installation is clean, long-distance transport is trouble-free, and maintenance is easy.

7. Long Service Life. High-quality raw materials are used in the manufacture of open cell ceiling tiles. This aluminum is resistant to UV radiation, highly corrosion-resistant, and withstands sudden temperature fluctuations.
