Open cell ceilings
Open cell ceilings have open cell units designed for the metal roof structure, they are designed to rest snugly on a suspension grid.
These metal ceilings can be used effectively to hide cable wires and AC systems.
It is also the perfect choice for buildings with relatively smaller completed depths, and helps provide ample space for rooms with low ceilings without affecting the room’s ceiling height.
Open cell ceilings also ensure good acoustic performance for industrial needs.
Linear metal ceilings
These are metal ceilings that support T-shaped suspended ceilings, and linear beam ceilings are aligned parallel to each parapet blade.
