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.

Installation
Installation Steps
Step 1
Mark the wall
Using the water level or laser method, mark the desired height on the wall.
Step 2
Attach the L-Angle / L or W shape
Using screws and nails, fix the L-Angle on the walls at the marked height.
Step 3
Complete the grid
Mark the required distance intervals then proceed to fix the suspension system using the Main and Cross Tee according to the approved layout.
Step 4
Attach the Wires
Fix the suspension system with 3mm or 4mm wires using ceiling clips and cartridges or wedge anchor.
