The Interlocking Ceiling is a type of linear ceiling in which we use 150mm or 200mm wide and 17mm deep interlocking panels up to a maximum of 6000mm in length.
Interlocking Ceiling Concept:
Interlocking Ceiling just develops keep the wind pressure in the mind. In Pre Structured Building, Petrol pump Canopy, Porta Cabin, On construction site offices false ceilings also have to face wind pressure. So, just keep this in the mind develop panels that will be properly interlocked with each other, and in the case of little high air pressure must be stable. Due to these qualities, the interlocking ceiling becomes the right choice of exterior and interior building, where is the problem of wind pressure. Petrol Pump Canopy & Pre-Structured Buildings always uses interlocking Ceiling 150F.
Advantages:
1. Big scope to create many designs with the help of different color & combination options.

Disadvantage:
Only one disadvantage in the case of interlocking, if ever we have to open it to enter in plenum then we have to uninstall it from starting point due to interlocked panels with each other. So, in the case of any repairing to reach the repair point, it will be uninstalled from starting point.
Acoustic Properties:
If you need acoustic properties in Interlocking Ceiling, you can use perforated 150F/200F panels with the back of acoustic fleece.
Insulation Properties:
The interlocking Ceiling is a closed liner ceiling, its plenum is well sufficient for insulation. But if you and your project requirement are more, then you can use glass wool or rock wool pads on the backside of panels.
Design:
In the interlocking ceiling, we may create the design with the help of different colors of panels. As a particular color repeats after a certain number of panels or at an alternative position.
