Panel Design and Dimensions
Linear Panels
These are typically narrow, long panels or strips arranged in parallel. Common widths range from 100mm to 300mm, and they can be custom-made to fit the space.
Panel Length
Standard panel lengths range from 2m to 4m, but custom sizes can be ordered to fit specific requirements.
Thickness
Metal panels generally range from 0.6mm to 2mm in thickness, with thicker panels providing more durability and better sound insulation.
Surface Finish Options
Powder-Coated
A popular finish that offers excellent durability, resistance to fading, and a smooth, even coating. Available in various colors and textures (matte, gloss, metallic).
Brushed or Polished
These finishes give the panels a refined, premium look, especially in stainless steel.
Perforated Panels
Many metal linear ceiling systems are perforated for acoustic purposes. These allow sound to pass through, helping with sound absorption and reducing noise in large spaces.
Suspension and Mounting Systems
Suspended Grid System
Metal panels are usually installed using a suspension grid system, with rails that are mounted to the ceiling. The panels then hang from these rails, creating a clean, linear look.
Flush-Mounted Systems
For a more seamless appearance, metal linear panels can be fixed directly to the ceiling without visible suspension points.
Hanging or Suspended
Panels can also be suspended using cables or rods for a more “floating” appearance. These systems are adjustable for custom installations.
Acoustic Performance
Sound Absorption
While metal is not inherently sound-absorbing, perforated panels or those with an acoustic backer material (like fiberglass or mineral wool) help improve sound absorption in spaces like offices, theaters, or conference rooms.
NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient)
Many metal linear ceilings are designed to have a good NRC rating, typically ranging from 0.5 to 0.8. This helps in controlling noise in large or open spaces.
Fire Resistance
Fire-Rated Materials
Metal, especially aluminum and steel, is inherently fire-resistant. However, the overall fire rating of the system may depend on the specific materials used and the installation method.
Compliant with Safety Standards
Metal linear ceilings often meet international fire safety codes, such as Class A Fire Rating (ASTM E84) and other local fire resistance standards.
