What is Lay-In Metal False Ceiling System?
Lay-in false system is base on visible structure frame with some specific size of tile. In this system, we prepare a frame with the help of a tee grid system, which gets fully visible from the bottom. We prepare the frame box size according to the Lay-in tile size, it could be 595mmx595mm, 595mm x1195mm, etc. We just lay the tile in this box and lay-in false ceiling system ready.

5. Freedom to choose the different types of tee grid-like plain, select, etc.
6.Freedom to choose the different sizes of lay-in tiles.
Acoustic Properties:
For acoustic properties basically use punching in the tile which is called perforation. The standard diameter of the punching hole is 1.8mm and 2.5mm. Those days many types of punching available like square, rectangular, and people with the help of punching creating different designs also on tiles. After perforation to improve more acoustic property, paste non-woven acoustic fleece backside of the tile. These perforated tiles absorb and district both do with sound waves and create acoustic environments.
Insulation Properties:
Lay-in false ceiling is a closed type ceiling, so it creates a plenum between the main and false ceiling. That's plenum work as an insulator in-ceiling and controls the temperature of the environment. If at the project more requirements of insulation, you may use glass wool or rock wool pads back of the tiles.
Design:
There is some limitation in design because we can use only some selected size of tile on a tee grid system. here you can create a new design based on different color type tiles.
Sizes:
Lay-in tile mostly uses in 595mm x595mm size, but you can use also some other size as the width you may take- 295mm, 595mm,895mm, and length 295mm,595mm,895mm,1195mm. If more than that you go there comes the alignment problem. Here material thickness also plays a measure role in a different size.
How to select the thickness of the material?
Lay-in tile basically made in three types of material-
1. Galivinize Iron
2. Aluminium
3. Stainless Steel
so, our suggestion that:
| Tile Area SqMeter | G.I. mm | Alu mm | S.S mm |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small less than .354 | .4 | .6 | .4 |
| Medium .354-.442 | .5 | .7 | .5 |
| Big more than .442 | .6 | .8 | .6 |
Best Places to Install?
It may be used in bank, hall, exhibition hall, showrooms, vacant hall, factory, lobby, mall, stadium, cafeteria, restaurant, hotels, etc.

Installation:
2. Always installing the main c channel carrier 1-1.2 meter space.
3. Always use the suspension rod at a distance of 1-1.2meter.
4. Always insert tee grid runners properly to each other.
6. Always use gloves at the time of installation.
7. Always check runners and tile for stain and spot, if any there clean before installation.
