EXPOSED / LAY-IN CEILING SYSTEM
The GTI Exposed Ceiling Suspension System is a structural suspension system for Lay – In Ceiling Panels. It consists of 24mm/15mm Main Channel and cross tee that combine superior load-carrying capacity, exceptional stability and design flexibility. The GTI Exposed Ceiling System save time and money as its offers an easy approach to installations and with the special stitch design in GTI Tees that give more strength for the system and rigidity.
Manufactured from steel and aluminum, the tiles can either be plain or perforated and are commonly painted, pre-coated and powder coated. If perforated, the holes can be in a straight or diagonal patterns with different designs.
