Ceiling section

Ceiling Section is an integral part of suspended ceiling system. Ceiling Section is recommended to be used as cross members & are connected with Intermediate channels through connecting clips. The Gypsum boards are secured to the Ceiling sections & are placed always perpendicular to the direction of the boards. Length of the channel are 12ft.

Intermediate

Intermediate channel is an integral part of Suspended ceiling system. GI Intermediate Channel is the main member & is hung from the soffit through ceiling angle, soffit cleat & fasteners. It is positioned in perpendicular direction to the ceiling section & each intersection has connecting clips which keeps both the sections in place.

Perimeter

Perimeter channel is an integral part of suspended ceiling. GI Perimeter Channel is used to fix at the periphery of the brick wall / drywall to receive end of ceiling sections and intermediate channel on top. This acts as the frame for the false ceiling.

Ceiling angle or L angle

L angle is an integral part of Suspended ceiling system. L Angle is recommended to use as a Ceiling hanger to suspend intermediate channels from the soffit /RCC with the soffit cleat and approved fastener
