An exposed grid system is a type of ceiling installation where the grid framework remains visible after the ceiling tiles are installed. This creates a distinctive, industrial aesthetic and offers practical benefits in terms of accessibility and maintenance.
How it works:
- Grid System: The grid is a network of metal channels (typically aluminum or steel) that are suspended from the building's structural ceiling using wires or rods.
- Ceiling Tiles: Ceiling tiles are laid within the grid, resting on the flanges of the grid members.
- Exposed Grid: Unlike concealed grid systems where the grid is hidden, in an exposed grid system, the grid remains visible, forming a prominent design element.
Why use an exposed grid system?
- Aesthetics: The exposed grid creates a modern, industrial look that is popular in open-plan offices, retail spaces, and contemporary buildings. It can add visual interest and a sense of height to a space.
- Accessibility: Exposed grids allow easy access to the ceiling plenum (the space above the ceiling) for maintenance, repairs, or modifications to electrical wiring, plumbing, or HVAC systems.
- Flexibility: Exposed grids make it easy to rearrange or replace ceiling tiles without disturbing the entire ceiling structure. This is beneficial in spaces where frequent changes or upgrades are anticipated.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Exposed grid systems can be more cost-effective than concealed grid systems because they require fewer materials and simpler installation.
