ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS – > Linear-effect double-skin open cell ceiling with an integrated grid • The grid is created in the same U profiles as the cellular panel. • Gives the ceiling a linear effect shifting up U cross-elements. Product benefits • Creates an impression of space and light, in addition to indirectly concealing the plenum space. • Enables active fire protection networks to operate depending on cells dimensions. • The grid disappears from view to give the impression of a ceiling created from a single element. • Panels can occasionally be removed. • A cost-effective linear-effect solution.

Model shown: Grilam i9, 200 x 50 mm cells, with black top elements (optional) Installation according to DTU 58.1 (see page 146 for details) Hangers with 1200 mm axis regularity and U-shaped runners with 600 mm axis regularity. Important: If sprinklers are inserted above the suspended open cell ceiling, the total plan open area of the ceiling, including light fittings, must not be less than 70% of the ceiling plan area according to Section 12.4.14 of EN 12845:2004.
