Maintenance access: Integrated ceiling systems incorporate acoustical, lighting, and air-handling components into a unified whole. The suspension systems, which typically form a 60’’x60’’ (1525x1525) grid, may support rather flat or coffered acoustical panels. Air-handing components may be integral parts of modular luminaires and disperse conditioned air along the edges of the fixtures, or be integrated into the suspension system and diffuse conditioned air through long, narrow slots between the ceiling panels.

MAIN RUNNERS are the principal supporting member of a suspended ceiling system, usually consisting of sheet-metal tees or channels suspended by hanger wires from the overhead structure.

CROSS TEES are the secondary supporting members, usually consisting of sheet-metal tees carried by the main runners.

EXPOSED GRID SUSPENSION SYSTEMS support the acoustical titles with inverted tees.

RECESSED GRID SUSPENSION SYSTEMS support acoustical tiles within rabbeted joints.

CONCEALED GRID SUSPENSION SYSTEMS are hidden within kerfs cut into the edges of the acoustical titles.

LINEAR METAL CEILINGS consist of narrow anodized aluminium painted steel or stainless steel strips. The slots between the spaced strips may be open or closed. Open slots permit sound to be absorbed by a backing of batt insulation in the ceiling space. Linear metal ceiling systems usually incorporate modular lighting and air-handling components.
