Components of Suspended
Ceiling
Types of Suspended
Ceiling
EXPOSED GRID
Exposed grid varieties are the most common
type of suspended ceiling. They consist of long metal
strips, called "mains," which are interconnected with
shorter metal pieces known as "tees." Together, the
mains and tees form a grid system of 2' by 2' or 2'
by 4' squares, which are then filled with acoustical
ceiling tiles. These exposed grid systems feature a
standard 15/16" wide metal frame around each tile,
though wider and narrower versions are also
available.
CONCEALED GRID
Concealed grid systems use the acoustical tiles to
hide the grid system from view. This creates a
smooth, clean look that many find to be aesthetically
pleasing. The tile used in a concealed system has a
small groove built into it's perimeter, which slides
over the mains and tees to cover them. This type of
system is more expensive than an exposed system,
and can make it difficult for maintenance personnel

BANDRASTER
Bandraster systems are one of the most versatile
types of suspended ceilings. They are comprised of
metal tees and mains of varying lengths, which can
be used to form a variety of patterns. These systems
are often used by building owners who want to create
a certain look with their ceiling, as they can be
arranged in many different ways. Bandraster ceilings
require the use of specially-sized tile to fit within the
unique grid patterns.

They tend to show their age quickly (and are sometimes discoloured by
excessive smoking), are damaged easily and are somewhat lacking
aesthetically.
The space between the true ceiling and the suspended ceiling gets very
dusty over a period of time.

ADJUST THE
Plan LAYOUT
the layout of ceiling panels to
minimize the need for small pieces around the
border of the ceiling; this will create a betterlooking job. If the border tiles will be less than
half the width of a field tile, adjust the layout one
way or the other until the border panels on
opposite sides of the ceiling are the same size.
