Ceiling Systems
Concealed suspended ceiling systems engineered for fire performance, acoustic
control and a flush painted finish.
EKC-1
Concealed Grid Ceiling
A suspended ceiling built on a fully concealed galvanised steel grid. Main channels are hung from the soffit on
adjustable suspension members; hat-shaped furring channels run across them and receive the boards. All joints
are taped and filled so that the finished soffit reads as a single flat plane, ready for paint or applied decoration.
Key benefits
- Light in weight and adaptable to almost any soffit geometry
- Conceals cable trays, ductwork and other services within the void
- Quick to install using dry construction methods
- Cost effective, and shortens the overall construction programme
Performance
- Fire resistance of up to 2 hours, subject to the tested assembly selected
- Sound insulation of up to 70 dB when installed beneath a concrete floor slab
- Fire and acoustic performance are improved by adding board layers
- Mineral wool laid over the boards further improves acoustic performance in the void
EKC-2
Acoustic Isolated Ceiling
EKC-2 is a high-performance acoustic ceiling. Galvanised main channels are suspended from the structure on
threaded rods fitted with acoustic isolation hangers, which interrupt the path for structure-borne vibration. Furring
channels are screw-fixed across the main channels with wafer-head screws at every intersection, and up to four
layers of fire-rated board are fixed to the underside with joints staggered between layers. The face layer is taped
and jointed to give a continuous surface ready for decoration, and a mineral wool blanket is laid over the completed
system.
Key benefits
- Isolation hangers break the vibration path between slab and ceiling
- Suited to cinemas, auditoria, studios, hotels and hospitals
- Accepts up to four board layers for demanding fire and acoustic ratings
- Installed dry, with services concealed in the ceiling void
Performance
- Fire resistance of up to 2 hours, subject to the tested assembly selected
- Sound insulation of up to 70 dB beneath a concrete floor slab
- Performance rises with additional board layers and cavity insulation
