PRANCE metalwork is a leading manufacturer of metal ceiling and facade systems.
Spline ceiling systems utilize interlocking metal panels guided by hidden splines, offering public buildings a blend of speed, flexibility, and clean aesthetics. The spline mechanism ensures precise panel alignment and uniform reveal widths, creating uninterrupted surface continuity essential in expansive lobbies, auditoriums, and transit hubs. Installation is accelerated because panels slide into the spline channel, reducing the need for individual clips or fasteners; installers can work from one side without access panels. For complex ceiling layouts—incorporating curved runs, cutouts for lighting, or changes in plane—the spline grid adapts easily by positioning custom extruded profiles, minimizing on-site fabrication. Maintenance staff benefit from quick panel removal: lifting a single panel unlocks adjacent ones without disturbing the overall ceiling, streamlining access to plenum utilities. Spline ceilings accommodate integrated acoustic or perforated options to control reverberation in bustling public spaces. Finished in durable PVDF or anodized coatings, these systems combine functional performance with refined visual appeal, making them a preferred choice for high-traffic architectural environments.
