How Is a Ceiling Hung Grid System Installed Securely?

A ceiling hung grid system starts with a detailed layout plan based on architectural drawings and load calculations. First, anchor brackets are fixed to the primary structure—typically reinforced concrete or steel beams—using vibration-isolating fasteners to minimize noise transmission. Stainless steel hanger wires or rigid rods are then attached at regular intervals (usually 1200 mm on center) and tensioned to ensure perfectly level alignment across the ceiling plane. Main runners—heavy-duty aluminum channels—are clipped onto these hangers and cross-runners snapped in to form a rigid lattice. Our proprietary snap-lock connectors guarantee that each joint remains flush without visible screws, preventing plank migration over time. Continuous perimeter trim is secured around walls to hide cut-edge planks and provide a neat finish, while expansion gaps of 6–8 mm accommodate thermal movement. Once the grid is validated with laser leveling and load-test protocols, aluminum ceiling panels or planks are gently pressed into the grid, locking securely. Finally, a visual and load-bearing inspection confirms that deflection remains under L/360, ensuring a safe, vibration-free ceiling system tailored to our aluminum ceiling and façade expertise.
