MODULAR CEILINGS / MONOLITHIC CEILINGS: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
SUSPENDED CEILINGS
These ceilings are fixed to a bearing structure, which creates a space between the roof and the ceiling.
A suspended ceiling can be used to conceal building's services or give the room a more stylish effect.
MODULAR SUSPENDED CEILINGS
Unlike monolithic ceilings which cannot be removed, modular suspended ceilings can be removed if necessary and comprise a grid (visible, semi-visible or concealed) that is fixed to the supporting structure using hangers and accessories, as well as ceiling tiles that are fitted into the grid. This type of ceiling presents a number of advantages:
Functional benefits:
- Easy, regular access to the plenum
- Concealed services (cables, networks, electricity, etc.)
- Quick and easy installation
- Easy replacement of all or part of the ceiling
Esthetic benefits:
- Several types of edges and modules
- An extensive choice of colors and patterns
- Several dimensions
- Conceals any unsightly areas
- Various grid widths
Technical benefits:
- Acoustic correction by means of absorption and insulation
- Fire reaction and resistance
- Light reflection
- Humidity resistance
- Thermal resistance
- Mechanical resistance
- Indoor air quality
- Impact resistance
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Stone wool ceilings are manufactured by four main stages:
-
Sanding of the face to ensure a perfectly flat surface
-
Bonding of the panel to prepare for the decorative veil
-
Fitting of the veil to the previously bonded part
-
Cutting of the panels to the required dimensions
