Types and Costs of the open cell ceilings

TYPES AND COST OF OPEN CELL SUSPENDED CEILINGS

One of the varieties of suspended ceilings are open cell metal structures. Open cell suspended ceiling is attached to the base ceiling surface on special suspensions. The design gives a three-dimensional ceiling surface, behind which you can lay engineering communications and install hidden lighting. There are several types of such coatings, each of which has certain characteristics.

Open cell ceiling Features

The open cell ceiling is made of U-shaped aluminum profiles. Their thickness is only half a millimeter. The open cell suspended structure is attached to the base ceiling by means of a T-shaped profile. The ceiling grid has different dimensions of cells – the minimum dimensions are 1,5x1,5 cm, and the maximum reach 20 cm. The smaller the cell size, the less transparent the coating is, and the higher the cost per square meter.

Advantages of open ceiling coverings:

1, The open cell suspended ceiling allows you to effectively ventilate the ceiling space. As a result, no condensation is collected on the base ceiling, which creates a favorable environment for mold formation.

2, Engineering communications are laid behind the ceiling structure. Easy removal of individual slabs provides access to the laid communications.

3, These ceilings are ideal for rooms with hidden fire alarms. Smoke detectors are installed behind the suspended structure. When the smoke passes freely through the coating cells, the fire protection system is activated. At the same time, water passes freely through the holes of the coating.

4, A large selection of colors and textures allows you to implement various ideas of the designer and select the coating for the style and color of the interior. On sale there are grilles in gold and silver colors, as well as products of other colors. You can buy chrome or Matt cellular panels to realize the most daring ideas regarding the design of the ceiling surface.

In combination with a heat - insulating material, the coating allows you to increase the heat and sound insulation characteristics of the room.
