Lay-In tiles are designed to be installed on conventional T-grid systems (T-profiles widths 15 and 24 mm). Stretch Metal tiles on T-profiles enhance the modular design pattern. By using wider grids more distinctive patterns are created. They are ideal for situations where regular maintenance or service is required to the installations in the ceiling plenum. = Lay-In tile = T-grid (non HD) 2 HunterDouglas® Ceilings - Stretch Metal

Lay-OnTILES Lay-On tiles are designed to be installed on conventional T-grid systems (T-profiles widths 15 and 24 mm). Stretch Metal tiles on T-profiles enhance the modular design pattern. By pushing the tile upwards into the plenum and moving it sideways it is easy to gain access to the plenum without the use of tools. Before selecting this system care should be taken that there is enough space to lift the tiles upwards. Another benefit is that accessories like light fixtures and airconditioning grills are easily integrated in the system. HunterDouglas® Ceilings - Stretch Metal
