Baffle U strip Ceiling

What is a Baffle U strip Ceiling?

The Baffle U strip ceiling is a liner type ceiling, in which we used a U strip panel on the alternative space and hang those in the ceiling with the help of a U strip carrier.

Baffle U strip ceiling concept:

Sometimes project requirement is the only lavish, beautiful look along with some acoustic properties. On those place ceiling presentation as royal, exclusive, beautiful get most important. So, keep those requirements in the mind, a new type of ceiling get developed as a name of Baffle U strip ceiling.

Advantages:

1. Easy to install.

2. Lightweight

3. Beautiful Look.

4. Various possibilities to create more design.

5. Good acoustic properties.

6. Easy to uninstall and reinstall in case of any repair in the plenum.

Acoustic Properties:

In the baffled ceiling, panels installed at an alternative space in the perpendicular direction, those panels just distract sound waves and create a sufficient acoustic environment from the ceiling side.

If you need more acoustic properties you may go with perforated panels. For acoustic properties basically use punching in the panels which are 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 panels. After perforation to improve more acoustic property, paste non-woven acoustic fleece inside the panels. These perforated panels absorb and district both do with sound waves and create acoustic environments.

Insulation Properties:

Due to the absence of a plenum between the main and false ceiling in the baffle false ceiling, it not provide and insulation from the ceiling side.

If you need insulation, then you can use glass wool or rock wool inside panels, but it will be a costly one.

Design:

The baffle ceiling has many possibilities to create a new design:

1. Heights of Panels:

To create the design, we can choose different height panels for a single place, Ex.  in the area of 1 sqm, we decide the width of panel 50 and center to center gap in panel 150mm. Then we can choose panel as 

200mm,175mm,150mm,125mm,100mm,75mm, 50mm. we can install those a straight or alternative pattern.

2. Different Color Pattern:

you may make pattern on the basises of different color combination.

3.Create Figuer:

you may create different figure like ovel, square, trangle with the help of baffle panels.

4.Wooden finsed Coating:

Best Places to Install:

Baffle Ceiling Ideal for showrooms, departmental store, shopes, restaurant, cafeteria, offices, conference room and place where business foot fall is high.

How to select the gap between two baffles panels?

The standard rule to select gap between two baffle is, just keep gap between two baffle equal to the height of baffle, reason behind of that, when a person enter in a room and see just ceiling side,his eyes just look at 45 degree of angle.On this angle if baffele height and gap get equal then main ceiling visiablty just hidden for him.

But some people suggest to get equal with baffle exposed width.

Our suggestion is just go with first rule.

Sizes:

The standard size of baffle height 100mm, width 50mm and center to center gap is 150mm. but we may go with other specification also according project requirement. The lenght of baffle you can have 6000mm in white coil coated color, but if you go with some other color or wooden finish maximum lenght possibly is 1000mm.

Material Required:

1,Baffle Panels

2.Panel Jointer (not required in on alternate method)

3.Threaded Wire

4.Baffle Top(1) & Bottom(1)Bracket

5.Edge Profile (not required in on alternate method)

6.Threaded Wire Nut(2)+Versel(2)

7.Baffle Bolt(1) +Nut(2)+Versel(2)

8.Baffle End Cap (not required in wall to wall method)

9.Baffle Carrier

10.Carrier Jointer

Hardware Required:

1.Fastner

2.Screw/Nail

3.Geti

Installation:

The standard baffle ceiling may install in two way:-

1. Wall to Wall:- In this we start baffle from one wall and end it on opposite wall, if baffle lenght get short then use jointer and increase the length.

2. On Altenative Lenght:- In this we start baffle a specific gap from wall like 50mm or 100mm, after use full available lenght of baffle leave same gap as start I did, then install 2nd baffle. this process we do till the reach of opposite wall.

 Our suggestion use on alternative lenght method, in this baffles feels totally in air, looks very beautiful. Thats method also solve the baffle lenght problem, because when we use jointer there looks the hairgap.

Open Cell Grill Ceiling

What Is Open Cell Grill Ceiling?

Basically, it is a simple lay-in ceiling with a different type of tile in size 595mm x 595mm. This tile called an open-cell tile is prepare on an interlocking strip system, in this system get two types of the strip in the size of 595mm x 15mm x 42/50mm, one called male strip and second female strip. These strips interlock at 90degree to each other in a pattern one by one according to develop cell size as 75mm x 75mm, 100mm x 100mm, or 150mm x 150mm. Many cell size is possible here, I mention here only which is in trends and easily available.

In an open-cell ceiling system, we use a 15mm Tee grid system for framing. With the help of a 15mm tee grid system prepare boxes of 600mm x 600mm and lay open-cell tiles in those. As grid exposed width from bottom 15mm and open-cell tile strip exposed width from the bottom also 15mm, after installation tee grid runners and wall angel visibility just hide in similarity and look comes from the bottom as the whole false ceiling is in a single piece and its look marvelous.

Where should install Open-Cell Grill Ceiling?

To find out that answer, first to understand the basic qualities of an Open Cell Grill Ceiling. The first one acoustic, the Open Cell Grill ceiling has high acoustic properties due to continuous angles and high dimensional structure. Open Cell Grill Ceiling distract the sound frequency and do not allow to run those in parallel to each other.

So if your requirement to go with high acoustic properties, it's really the right choice.

The second one Insulation, the Open Cell Grill Ceiling insulation property is low, due to the absence of a plenum. The environment of the area gets directly in touch with the main ceiling. In that case, you do not get any advantage in airconditioner efficiency and power consumption.

So, if your requirement is the insulation that is not the right choice. Basically where heat involves do not go with it.

The third one structure stability, due to tee grid framing Open Cell Grill Ceiling has a very stable structure. You can use it anywhere indoors or outdoor. It could bear heavy air pressure and get well stable.

The fourth one is design impact, Open Cell Grill Ceiling gives the beautiful look in the area, So you may use it anywhere.

If we keep the above points in mind, its good suits in Restaurants, Cafeteria, Departmental Store, Multiplex, Lobby, Offices, Garden, Trace, Vanceat hall, Canteen, Lawns.

How decide Cell Size of Open Cell Grid Ceiling?

As many possibilities of cell size in Open Cell Grid Ceiling, you may decide on the basis of area size. We suggest if the area is big in size like 1000sqmtr, you should go for a small cell size like 75mm x75mm,  If an area is a medium-size like 100sqmtr, you should go for a medium cell size like 100mm x 100mm, If an area is a small -size like less then 100sqmtr, you should go for a big cell size like 150mm x150mm.

Here the concept is that small cell size gives a compact look to the big area, and big cell size gives the losses look to a small area.

How to decide Tee Grid type in Open Cell Grid Ceiling?

It is very important to decide Tee grid type in Open Cell Grid Ceiling. Always go with a 15mm plain tee grid in the color of  Open Cell Tile, If you need the natural look of  Open Cell Grill Ceiling. If you go for a 24mm tee grid or a different color from Open Cell Tile it will just break the symmetric of one piece whole ceiling and there will look  600mm x 600 mm separate boxes of tiles. 

Here tee grid thickness also very important for stable structure, cause open-cell tile weight is a little more than ordinary lay in tile. We suggest minimum go for .25mm thickness for the tee grid. If the cell size small like 75mm x75mm and the area big our suggestion go for .28 thickness, if the cell size big like 150mm x150mm you may go for .23mm thick but our suggestion minimum.25mm thick.

How to decide the color of the Open Cell Grill Ceiling?

Standard colors mostly use in Open Cell Grill Ceiling are white, black, grey, and brown. But before deciding you must check your ceiling, window, and door color. Open Cell Grill Ceiling color should be in contrast with the main ceiling color, and try to match with your doors and windows color.
