SUSPENDED CEILING

SUSPENDED CEILING • SUSPENDED CEILINGS are used to provide an attractive finish to the ceiling and at the same time conceal services. • These are used to house equipment like ventilation grills, light fittings, fire sprinklers, smoke or heat detectors, security cameras, movement sensors and alarms.

• Suspended ceilings have: • Light weight structural grid • Wire hangers to support the grids from the structural floor. • Lightweight tiles • Suspended ceilings are based normally on a 600 x 600 mm module.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS • Concealment of structures: to hide changes in the structure, beams, floors etc. and to provide a level and attractive ceiling finish. • Concealment of services: to create clear cavity for services, hide these services and allow easy access for maintenance. • Decorative appearance: to provide a aesthetic finish for ceilings.

• Thermal insulation: thermal insulation is used on the top floor to reduce heat transfer. • Acoustical control: sound insulation and absorption. Sound insulation is achieved by using mineral wool which is impervious and dense. Sound absorption is achieved using porous material of light density. • Fire control: controls the development and spread of fire, contains the fully developed fire and protect the structure from damage.
