PRANCE metalwork is a leading manufacturer of metal ceiling and facade systems.
Côte d'Ivoire Yopougon Hospital Balcony H Strip Ceiling Project
In this balcony ceiling project in Côte d'Ivoire, PRANCE supplied an H-Strip ceiling system for the hospital's exterior balcony areas. The project used a polyester-coated H-strip ceiling system to deliver a clean, linear appearance while maintaining stable installation quality across the entire application area.
For this project, the client wanted the balcony ceiling to look visually neat and continuous once installed. Since the ceiling would remain highly visible from different angles of the building façade, panel alignment and overall finish became important considerations from the beginning of the project.
In addition to the appearance requirements, the project team also needed to ensure that the ceiling system could be installed smoothly on site. To support this goal, the production and installation preparation process included factory trial assembly before shipment, allowing for the installation effect in advance.

| Client Requirements
1. Clean Linear Appearance with Tight Panel Alignment
The client needed a ceiling system in the balcony area to create a continuous ceiling appearance and avoid obvious wide gaps between panels and maintain a cleaner visual effect throughout the balcony area.
2. Durability for Semi-Outdoor Hospital Areas
The ceiling system was installed in the hospital's balcony area, where the environment is exposed to outdoor conditions such as humidity and daily environmental wear. Because of this, the project required a ceiling solution that could maintain stable performance and a consistent appearance over time. At the same time, the client wanted the ceiling system not only to achieve a clean visual effect after installation, but also to remain durable and easy to maintain.

Project Drawing
H-Strip Ceiling for Clean Visual Effect
H-strip ceiling system was well-suited to the hospital balcony area because its linear layout created a cleaner and more organized visual effect across the large ceiling surface. The tightly aligned panel design helped reduce visible gaps and supported a more continuous appearance, which is especially important for semi-outdoor areas that remain visible from different angles of the building façade. Its linear structure also worked efficiently for long-span balcony applications, helping maintain visual consistency throughout the installation area.
The project used an 80mm*15mm H strip ceiling system, which provides a clean linear profile suitable for balcony ceiling applications.
To achieve a clean and continuous appearance in the balcony area, the production process focused on maintaining consistent panel dimensions. The team carefully controlled panel straightness and overall stability during fabrication, and ensured precise joint alignment for smooth installation on site.
Polyester-Coated Finish for Semi-Outdoor Applications
This ceiling system was installed in a semi-outdoor hospital balcony area, so the project required a finish with reliable durability and a stable appearance over time.
To meet these requirements, the H strip ceiling panels used a polyester-coated finish. The coating provided a clean and uniform surface effect across the entire ceiling area while helping the panels perform well under daily environmental exposure.
Semi-outdoor spaces are often affected by humidity, temperature changes, and long-term daily use. The polyester coating helped improve surface durability and reduced future maintenance needs, making it suitable for hospital and public building applications.
Mock-up installation
Before shipment, our team installed a part of the ceiling system at the factory to verify panel alignment, installation structure, and the overall visual effect. This process allowed the team to check how the H strip panels connected under actual installation conditions and confirm that the tight joint requirement could be achieved smoothly.
For overseas projects, this will help to reduce uncertainty during on-site installation. Instead of identifying potential alignment issues after the product arrives at the project site, the team could address and confirm important details earlier in the process.
