Grilyato ceiling - pros and cons of lattice type

Features of Grilyato ceilings

Grilyato cellular panels are made from aluminum. The design is light, durable and fireproof. The main elements are connected without screws. Longitudinal and transverse elements are attached to each other using locks. Fastenings using dowel nails are only necessary for guides installed around the perimeter.

At first, such ceiling structures were used only in office, warehouse and retail premises. But now it is not uncommon to use them in residential spaces, not only in hotels, but also in apartments. The clarity of the lines makes it possible to play up the upper part of the room. A special feature is the geometric pattern, which consists of square and rectangular sections. A triangular or diamond-shaped cell can be used as a non-standard cell. Elements of such ceiling panels have become so fashionable that “Grigliato” ceilings have appeared - when similar structures are made of wood for small rooms.

Be careful - for large spaces, in order to reduce the cost, steel panels are offered on the market. But this option does not correspond to the original and is dangerous. Steel is heavier, puts a load on the base, and increases the risk of collapse. Another disadvantage is that steel is susceptible to corrosion. Original Grilyato elements are always made only from aluminum.

A suspended ceiling, on the one hand, takes up space, but on the other hand, due to the airiness of the structure, visually it remains free. Therefore, it is preferable to solid ceilings where it is necessary to maintain the height of the walls as much as possible.

Grilyato panels are suitable for leveling the surface without preparatory work. They simply make perfectly even what cannot be leveled through repair work. Unlike a continuous tension fabric, access to communications remains. You can partially replace structural elements at any time. Installation of Grilyato aluminum grilles requires careful planning before the renovation begins. Measuring and marking the space will allow you to select guides of the required length. Proper calculation also reduces waste.

A clear understanding of what the ceiling should look like after repair will make it possible to calculate the number of connecting elements. To calculate the number of elements, special online Grilyato calculators are used. Grilyato cells can be from 40 to 200 mm; the larger the space, the larger the cells it is better to choose. Due to panels of different sizes and colors, you can create zoning of the room .
It is important to consider that the elements have a standard height of 40 mm, and only one option - Grilyato Economy is available with a height of 30 mm. When ordering from the manufacturer, you can choose any height and width of the parts. If necessary, you can order non-standard parts. This is necessary if diagonal elements are needed or the room has a non-standard size. Installation is quick and does not require careful preparation of the ceiling space. The main stages of installation are surface preparation, marking for fastenings, correct installation of the perimeter, alignment of the finished structure to the building level.

How much does the ceiling cost?

Especially for you, we found out how much such ceilings can cost in the capital of Russia and in its northern capital.

Prices by region may vary slightly, but in essence it is not critical. So, in Moscow, a Grilyato ceiling for 1 m2 will cost approximately from 200 to 1500 rubles. depending on the type, individual preferences and characteristics of the room.

Here you should add the cost of installation per square meter in the range of 200-250 rubles. In St. Petersburg, a square meter of grilyato costs from 100 rubles. and higher.

“loading... Grilyato suspended ceiling

The modern suspended ceiling of Grilyato has several types of representations, which, despite being individually original, do not lose their main functional characteristics.

Main advantages

Why have Grilyato lattice structures become so popular, what are their main advantages? Developers, installers, and designers love them. And most importantly, those who work or live in rooms with Grilyato ceilings also like these ceiling panels.

• Easy installation. No need for a large number of fasteners. For installation you will need a standard set of tools - stepladder, hammer, dowel-nails. Ceiling structures for large rooms can be installed during the day.
• The ability to visually change the space. Such panels make large rooms more comfortable and connect them into a single whole. In small rooms and narrow corridors, an emphasis on geometric shapes can visually expand the space. The same color of the grilles and base expands the space and raises the ceiling. A contrasting, dark coating under a light profile visually makes the ceiling lower.
• Masking of imperfect surfaces and communications. For installation, you do not need to make the surface perfectly flat. Small differences that cannot be leveled out will be completely invisible behind Grilyato bars. Even large protrusions and pipes are easily hidden behind the frequent geometric pattern.
• Access to communications. If necessary, you can quickly disassemble part of the structures. This is necessary to repair closed communications. Individual parts can be easily replaced or repaired.
• Safety and environmental friendliness . Aluminum has a high degree of fire safety. Light metal can be used where the load on supporting structures should not be large. Aluminum ceilings do not emit harmful substances, do not collect dust, and leave enough space for air circulation. Raster designs absorb noise well and do not leave an echo effect in large rooms. This is especially true for offices with open space, for halls in public spaces - at airports, train stations, where there is constant noise.
• Design possibilities. A set of colors from the RAL palette makes it possible to produce aluminum panels of almost any shade. You can visually make the room lower to highlight a separate area or add coziness; on the contrary, you can choose light profiles and a light background in order to bring a feeling of airiness. Original combinations with lamps of different shapes allow you to create an unusual design.

Advantages of innovative ceilings

From all of the above, you can form a list of the main advantages of Grilyato lattice ceilings:

• Environmental friendliness of the material. The profile for structures is made only from high-quality aluminum, which does not burn, does not emit toxins, is wear-resistant, and therefore durable.
• Wide range of applications. Due to the fact that when exposed to moisture, heat, light, the structure does not lose its physical properties, such ceilings can be used in the decoration of any premises.
• Safety. Lattice ceilings not only do not burn, but also contribute to excellent ventilation of the room. In the event of a fire, they will fully cope with the task of smoke removal and protect the load-bearing structures as much as possible. In addition, the owner of a room with a Grilyato ceiling installed will never have problems with fire safety control authorities.
• Versatility. Combining different types of lattice ceilings in any room will only enrich the overall style of the interior. Such ceilings combine very well, for example, with cassette-type ceiling air conditioners.

Grilyato ceilings. Are there any disadvantages

Still, if you dig deeper and cover all the nuances, you can find a couple of not very pleasant moments. At Grilyato ceiling, the price of raw materials and materials is quite decent, which ultimately leads to a higher cost of the finished product. Although, if you weigh all the pros and cons, then, undoubtedly, quality and durability exceed the costs of materials and equipment. And the second feature is that the installation process of this type of structure is quite labor-intensive, although not too complicated.

Types of Grilyato ceilings

Standard

Grilyato Standard is a classic among suspended raster ceilings. Identical geometric shapes bring a sense of order to the room and create a unified space. They go well with both built-in and hanging lamps.

Economy

A special feature of this option is the profile height of 30 mm. This is the most popular option for ceiling profiles. Choosing an Economy profile reduces the cost of ceiling repairs. At the same time, a visual reduction of the profile by 10 mm with high ceilings is imperceptible.

Multi-level

The different heights of the profiles create not just a single ceiling sheet, but a geometric pattern. Such elements are used to place accents in the interior. The multi-level Grilyato is convenient for repairing communications - a block of one level is easy to take out, carry out repairs, and then put it back.

Blinds

Rectangular cells of the ceiling covering help to visually lengthen or expand the room. To do this, the longer side of the cell is placed in the direction that needs to be visually enlarged. White and metallic Grilyato Blinds are most often used where it is necessary to emphasize the official style. Colored blinds are often chosen for small spaces in apartments and private houses.

Non-standard cell

To complicate the design, different combinations of square and rectangular sections are used. For such a ceiling covering, you need to choose a non-standard cell. With the same installation costs, such a ceiling looks much more impressive.

Colored (RAL)

The RAL palette makes it possible to coat the aluminum base in any shade. This protects the structure from damage and increases its service life. Bright lattice panels are used in boutiques, gyms, and shopping centers.

Pyramid

A variant of pyramidal panels is used to close the ceiling space as much as possible, to hide pipes or protrusions. Pyramidal cells are more voluminous. They create the effect of depth in the ceiling space. The pyramidal design of the cells not only looks more impressive, but also has greater functionality. The pyramidal profile absorbs 4 times more noise than a regular one.

Grilyato. Ceiling characteristics:

• cell size, profile height, base width:

Standard cell sizes (size of cells into which the 600x600 grid is divided): 30x30, 50x50, 60x60, 75x75, 86x86, 100x100, 120x120, 150x150, 200x200 mm.

• Profile height (height of the “U”-shaped profiles from which the 600x600 grid is assembled): for Grilyato “Standard cell” - 30, 35, 40, 50 mm, for Grilyato “Pyramidal” – 35 and 42.5 mm, for Grilyato “GL- 15" - 37 and 47 mm.
• Base width (width of the “U”-shaped profile, visible from below): for Grilyato “Standard Cell” – 5 and 10 mm, for Grilyato “Pyramidal” – 10 mm, for Grilyato “GL-15” – 15 mm.

All these characteristics are determined by the following factors: the appearance of the ceiling, its “transparency,” the weight of the structure, and cost.

• Appearance of the ceiling: when choosing the size of the Grilyato cell, you can be guided by the rule - the lower the height of the planned ceiling level, and the smaller the area of ​​the room itself, the smaller the size of the Grilyato cell, and vice versa. The “universal” cell is 100*100*40.
• “Transparency” of the Grilyato ceiling: reflects the visibility of the space above the surface of the Grilyato gratings (how much the “rough” ceiling is visible through the ceiling cells). The larger the cells and the smaller the height of the profile, and the smaller the width of the base, the greater the transparency of the ceiling. For example, for a standard type of cells (with a height of 40mm, a base width of 10mm): 200x200 transparency is ~ 93%, for a 100x100 cell ~ 84%, for a 50x50 cell ~ 67%. With a reduced base width of 5mm, transparency increases from 5 to 15%. Approximately the same proportions are maintained when changing the profile height.

• Weight of the structure: the smaller the cells and the greater the height of the profile, the greater the weight of the Grilyato “assembled” ceiling. First of all, this affects the choice of ceiling installation scheme. recommends using a reinforced installation scheme for load-bearing guides (without using 1.2 m long guides) when choosing cells smaller than 75x75 mm (inclusive).

Grilyato in design

The most rational installation of Grilyato is on large ceiling surfaces. This allows you to increase the cell size, due to this you can reduce the cost of the profile by 1 sq. m. The big advantage is that the panels, due to their repeating geometry, unite the space well. Many international and domestic airports and train stations install sectional ceilings in the waiting rooms above the check-in counters. A design project may include different colors of panels in different parts of the room. For example, using different colored parts, you can separate the waiting area from the baggage claim counter, leaving the space open, without unnecessary partitions.

In open offices, raster ceiling coverings look good in any configuration. It can be plain, colored, multi-level or standard. The photo below shows that such panels go well with the loft style, with brick walls.

Another option where white panels fit perfectly is high-tech or industrial style. There is a lot of air in this design. Raster panels are needed not only to create a unified style, but also to dampen sound in a large open room. At the same time, notice how good the combination of an almost industrial ceiling with a wooden floor in a natural shade looks in the photo below. These are eclectic elements that add modernity to the high-tech style.

Restaurants use cellular ceilings to create special lighting. This coating allows you to install many lamps of different formats and hide all electrical communications under the ceiling. In the photo below, with the help of the Grilyato ceiling, the area where the tables are located is highlighted, this creates a cozy atmosphere for visitors. And given the sound-absorbing properties of lattice structures, it can be assumed that guests will be comfortable talking and communicating with each other even if the tables are not installed very far away.

In apartments and private houses, such coatings are also used - mainly with a grid no larger than 75x75 mm. A small space looks advantageous if you emphasize the geometry of the walls and ceiling. This can be done using Grilyato panels.

Kitchens and bathrooms are usually not rooms where the design allows for the installation of Grilyato. This is due to the small space and the fact that in the kitchen not only dust, but also fats can settle on the panel. The mesh surface makes frequent cleaning difficult. But sometimes the Italian lattice ceiling is used as an exception in these rooms.

Grilyato color:

RPO "ALBES" produces the following colors of Grilyato ceilings: white matte, white gloss, metallic, metallic matte, light beige, black, copper, raspberry, gun, chrome, super-chrome, super-chrome luxury, gold, super-gold.

“Standard” colors are white matte and metallic RUS (visually, when assembled, it looks like gray). Other colors are made to order within 2-3 weeks. It is also possible to paint in a non-standard color - optionally in the nearest RAL color (on order from 3 weeks).

How to calculate Grilyato ceiling materials

Calculation of materials for ceiling coverings made of aluminum profiles must begin with the correct measurement of the room. The exact part of the ceiling where the ceiling profile will be installed is measured. Moreover, it is important to take measurements at the same level - if possible, under the ceiling, where the supporting profile will be attached. For further calculations, you need to understand the installation diagram. First, the number of load-bearing elements is determined. To do this, divide the length and width of the room by the length of the supporting profile and select an option so that you need to trim as little as possible. Then the calculation of the connecting elements, “mother” and “father” profiles is carried out.

Assume that the supporting profile can have a length of 600, 1200 and 2400 mm. For example, in a small room with a perimeter of 18 meters, to reduce waste and ease of installation, you can use a profile with a length of 600 and 2400 mm. Manual calculation of the required 600 mm blocks can be done as follows:

The area of ​​one block is 0.36 square meters. m, and taking into account neighboring supporting structures, it is recommended to calculate 0.39 sq.m. Next, you need to divide the area of ​​the room by 0.39, and you will get the number of blocks. Each block contains 12 profiles - 6 “father” type profiles and 6 “mother” type profiles. Based on this, a calculation is made. In order to avoid mistakes, it is better to use an online calculator.

As the calculator shows, for a room of 20 square meters. m. you will need 56 load-bearing elements 600 mm long and 14 load-bearing profiles 2400 mm long. The manufacturer recommends the use of 42 hangers and 616 female and male profiles. If the width of the room is a multiple of 1200 mm, then it is logical to use a profile of this length as a load-bearing one. See the figure below, which shows how supporting profiles of different lengths can be combined.

The figure below shows that for a distance of 3000 mm you need to use a 2400 mm profile and a 600 mm profile, which are fastened with a special lock. If necessary, you can calculate the number of diagonal inserts, as in the figure below. They must be ordered separately and are not included as standard.

The manufacturer recommends the number of hangers for a certain area of ​​the room. It is important to adhere to the recommended installation scheme for hangers. On average, one 2400 mm profile requires up to 4 hangers. For each load-bearing element of 600 mm, 1 hanger is needed, and for an element of 1200 mm, 2-3 hangers are sufficient. If you need to install lighting fixtures that create additional load, their installation locations are reinforced with additional suspensions. Be sure to consider the height of the room. If it does not exceed 3 m, then choose cells from 40x40 mm to 100x100 mm. At a height of more than 3 m, cells with a side of 120 mm or more will look good. For heights greater than 5 m, cells with a side of 200 mm can be used.

Installation

When starting the installation of an openwork ceiling, it is necessary to accurately calculate where the load-bearing strips will be fixed and determine their length. To select the optimal option, the room is measured, and then, based on the length and width values, standard sizes of planks are selected that will require minimal cutting during installation. The most common lengths are 1.8 and 2.4 meters. If you take a size of 2.4 m, then you will need another 1.2 and 0.6 m in the kit.

After this, installation work is carried out in the following sequence.

1. Mark on the ceiling surface places for suspensions with a pitch of ≤ 1 m, onto which guide strips will subsequently be attached.
2. Along the perimeter, according to the markings applied at the preparation stage, a starting corner is mounted, screwing self-tapping screws into plastic dowels.
3. For hangers, holes are drilled in the marked places into which dowels are tightly inserted. The hangers are fixed with self-tapping screws.
4. Load-bearing strips are inserted into the hooks of the suspensions, starting with slats of 2.4 meters. After them comes the turn of 1.2 and 0.6-meter guides. The result will be cells of 0.6x0.6 meters.
5. Grates are assembled on the floor. When finished, they are inserted into a frame assembled from guide rails on the ceiling.
6. Once again check the ideal horizontal plane of the lower plane of the suspended ceiling with a level. If alignment is necessary, adjust the suspensions.

Selection of lamps

Grilyato products are compatible with all types of lighting fixtures. The most common option is built-in square or round lamps. Built-in lighting fixtures are installed in parallel or according to the domino principle - both options look very organic, emphasizing the clarity of geometric lines. The simplest option is square lamps that match the size of the Grilyato ceiling sections. There are special models that are produced for installation together with suspended ceilings.

Round recessed lights are more difficult to install, as aluminum needs to be cut to accommodate them. However, this is also a common lighting option that is mounted together with Grilyato ceilings.

Most often, such LED lamps are installed in large rooms where bright diffused light is needed at any time of the day. Cylindrical lamps with directional light can be installed above podiums and stages.

Another option is spotlights, placed inside one cell. Such lamps are called “Albatross”. They are installed in office premises, hotels and retail spaces. To install this type of spotlight, no additional fasteners are required. It is simply placed on top of the cell, after which the Grilyato section is fixed to the supporting profiles. If necessary, such a lamp can be easily rearranged. Cylindrical lamps are attached to the ceiling slats to be able to rotate and create a directional stream of light. Fixtures that exceed the cell size require cutting out part of the structure. This can be done with metal scissors. Make sure that the rigidity of the structure is not compromised. Restaurants and cafes usually do not use built-in lights. Hanging chandeliers with warm light that create coziness look more appropriate there. When purchasing chandeliers and lamps, it is important to clarify whether they can be installed on cellular raster ceilings. If a chandelier or lamp increases the load on the ceiling structures, you need to install additional suspensions.

Lighting installation

At the final stage of work, the ceiling plane is leveled by adjusting the suspensions and wiring is installed. For classic suspended ceilings, Grilyato uses raster lamps specifically designed for this type of ceiling covering. When purchasing lamps, pay attention to the markings; they must contain the designation “GR”.

In addition to them, other lamps are used that are mounted in the grid cells.

The most often preferred lamps are “Down Light”. You can use different types of lamps. Taking into account the high reflectivity of Grilyato, it is possible to create zones of different illumination and different visual lighting effects.

Ceiling installation Grilyato

You can install Grilyato yourself, especially if you already have experience working with ceiling structures. Of course, the master will do the installation faster, but here everyone chooses for themselves how best to repair the ceilings - on their own or with the assistance of a master.

Preparatory work

The ceiling space needs to be prepared for installation. If this is not a new room, the old finish needs to be removed. The next step is to clean the ceiling from dirt. If there are cracks or slab joints on the surface, it is better to seal them. If you are covering the surface with drywall, you can skip these steps. Then, after covering the plasterboard with slabs, you need to paint it. If a color contrasting with the panels is expected, this is also done at the preparatory stage.

Preparation of communications must also be done before installation. It is necessary to make an output of electrical cords to connect the lamp. The cords must be ready and temporarily insulated so that after installation you only need to connect the lamps.

It is best to complete the preparation by assembling the individual modules. The modules are stacked one on top of the other to make it easier to take and insert into prepared supporting profiles.

Tools needed to install Grilyato ceiling

• Dowel nails • Pliers • Grinder and disc for cutting aluminum • Metal scissors • Construction level • Marking pencil • Drill or hammer drill • Construction hammer • Stepladder

Marking

After this, the stage of marking the perimeter U-shaped corner begins. It is necessary to install markings on the surface where the corner will be installed. And also measure the desired length of the corner.

An important point is marking the installation of hangers . The manufacturer provides a diagram to follow in this matter. The diagram can be changed if you have additional lamps that are mounted in the ceiling panels.

After the perimeter U-shaped corner is installed, you need to assemble the hangers. Each suspension consists of three parts - two wires and a bracket. One wire is attached to the ceiling as an anchor, the second is attached to the ceiling part in a special hole. After reaching the desired height, the bracket is clamped so that the structure is motionless. Before the installation stage, you need to check whether the installation of the hangers corresponds to the diagram. Then check whether the wiring to the lamps is carried out. And you can proceed directly to installation.

Installation

Installation begins with the installation of supporting profiles and attaching them to anchor suspensions. At the profile connection points, joining elements with a lock are used.

Upon completion of this stage, pre-assembled gratings are installed. You need to pass the grille behind the supporting profile, align the slots and insert the grille tightly into the supporting profile. The combination of grooves and gratings occurs quickly due to the high precision of the parts. During installation, sometimes it is necessary to move the suspensions - this is already done during the process.

Sometimes in a corner or on one side of a room it is necessary to reduce the length of the bars. In this case, the planks are cut with metal scissors. Since the aluminum is quite thin, cutting is not difficult. In the center, a part with cut strips can be bent to a bend, and it simply breaks along a straight line.

During installation, the structure can be periodically checked at the building level. If there is a discrepancy, you need to tighten or loosen the anchor suspensions. The excess part of the wire on the hangers is simply bent upward; subsequently it will not be visible. Upon completion of installation, the level is checked again and the entire structure is checked for rigidity. She shouldn't walk (!). If there is play, you need to strengthen it with anchor suspensions.

Assembling and inserting cells

The “mother” and “father” profiles are connected perpendicular to each other until they click. If the technology is followed, the gaps between them are not visible. When all panels are ready, assembly begins. The grille is inserted behind the supporting profiles and lowered, aligning the slots.

There is less distance left at the walls. The cassettes are cut to size using metal scissors. This edge is placed on the corner, and the rest are fixed in the usual way. Then check the level again.

Helpful Tips:

1. Choose Grilyato brand products on the manufacturer’s website. In this case, you can order not only standard parts, but also the sizes you need.
2. The perimeter of the room is not always a multiple of 60 cm - and this is the most common size of the grille, and then the grille needs to be cut. There is no difficulty in this, but it is additional work.
3. The gratings must be assembled in advance and everything must be fully prepared for installation. In this case, all that remains is to put them in the grooves, check the level and rigidity of the structure and install the lamps.
4. Markings for lamps must be done immediately, even before ordering ceilings, in this case you can order additional anchors if they are needed.
5. Lamps can most often be ordered from the same company where you order the Grilyato profile. There are special brands of chandeliers and lamps for lattice ceilings.
6. Choose the cell size based on the size of the room. A small cell in a large room creates a ripple effect in the eyes, so the larger the room, the larger the cell size you can afford. And the cheaper the ceiling panels will be.

Cellular ceilings - varieties

Depending on the shape of the aluminum slats, the size of the grid, and its position, suspended raster structures are divided into:

• Standard.
• Pyramidal.
• Blinds.
• Multi-level
• With non-standard cell
• Ceilings "Grigliato CL15"
• Cassette grid ceiling with a profile width of 15 cm.

1. The features of the “Standard” ceiling are the cells of the same size. The plane of the cellular structure is located strictly parallel to the floor. They are inexpensive, so they are used everywhere.

2. A pyramidal ceiling is created using profiles with a cross-section in the shape of the Latin letter “V”. This makes it possible to create a visually three-dimensional structure. Each cell resembles the appearance of a truncated pyramid, hence the name of this type of ceiling.

3. The “Blinds” ceiling is used in narrow, elongated rooms that need visual expansion. A metal lattice with long panels, located across a narrow ceiling area, can give it a visually larger size. It is also good to install such elements in those parts where the largest number of communications are hidden. A louvered ceiling is installed using profiles of different heights (3 and 5 cm).

4. Multi-level structures are created using metal panels of different colors, as well as profiles of different heights and types. In this modification of cellular structures, the gratings can be of considerable size, depending on the design project. A suspended grigliato ceiling of this type would be quite appropriate in a private country house, in an office space and in many public buildings.

5. A grigliato suspended ceiling with cells of non-standard sizes and types is formed by laying profiles that fit into each other in a wide variety of positions, radically different from the standard type of installation. There can be a huge number of options for arranging profiles, it all depends on the designer’s imagination.

6. The cellular structure “Griglyato CL15” is constructed from special T-15 systems, equipped with gratings, and suspended in whole blocks from the base base of the ceiling. Thanks to this installation technology, the finished finishing coating creates the illusion of a uniform, continuous plane. Reliability of fastening is ensured by corners that are attached around the perimeter of the room. This modification is not suitable for living rooms; it is more often used in public buildings.

7. A cassette ceiling with a grilyato grid is installed using the T15 suspension system and a wide C15 profile, on which assembled grilyato grids are laid, or Cellio cassettes similar to the Armstrong ceiling type. The lattice elements, as well as the Cellio slabs, can be easily dismantled if necessary and just as easily installed in place.

Interior examples

See how Grilyato ceilings can look in different rooms:

Kitchen. Despite the fact that such ceilings are not often installed in kitchens, there are implemented design projects that refute the assertion that Grilyato is not suitable for the kitchen. Look at the photo below – it’s perfect in this case!

Negotiation room. Grilyato looks very stylish in monochrome meeting rooms. Straight lines emphasize the official style and create a strict atmosphere. In the photo below - nothing superfluous, glass, metal, leather - a good combination for the office.

Billiard room. The wonderful combination of a monochrome ceiling and bright lamps creates a feeling of relaxation and celebration.

Pool. Grilyato is often installed in gyms. This is also a suitable solution for a swimming pool. This ceiling is not afraid of moisture, especially since in swimming pools the ceiling is quite high from the water.

Trading halls. In trading floors and boutiques, Grilyato ceiling panels allow you to implement interesting lighting design projects. Look at the photo below how original the combination of built-in and pendant rectangular lamps looks.

Whatever option of Grilyato ceilings you choose, they will help you make calculations, assemble the necessary equipment and make quick delivery to your destination.

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages:

1. The structure is easy to assemble.
2. The panels are easily removable, providing easy access to the ceiling space.
3. For an initial inspection of the surface or communications, there is no need to remove the gratings, since you can see through them.
4. A variety of designs (by type and color) allows you to choose an option suitable for the room, to delimit zones without putting up partitions.
5. You can combine a lattice ceiling with others (for example, Armstrong).
6. Aluminum is a strong and durable material that does not rust, does not fade, and tolerates moisture well.
7. Does not emit harmful substances and does not burn.

Flaws:

1. It is more expensive than most other hanging structures.
2. Installing a grilyato ceiling is more difficult and takes longer than an Armstrong one.
3. Difficult to clean, so not suitable for kitchens where grease and soot accumulate, or rooms with high cleanliness requirements.

Suspended grid ceiling.

The Grilyato suspended ceiling grid allows you to open up new perspectives in the architecture of modern ceilings. Thanks to the variety of color solutions and the peculiarities of its geometric structure, the Grilyato ceiling provides various interesting options for room design. This ceiling can rightfully be proud of its good corrosion resistance, light fastness, excellent weather resistance, and durability of the decorative coating. The Grilyato ceiling is simple and easy to install, and due to the fact that it is made of aluminum, it is also extremely durable and moisture resistant. The design of Grilyato ceilings allows:

• hide all engineering communications in the interceiling space, reduce the volume of the room;
• provide easy access for servicing engineering systems to the inter-ceiling space (the grilles are very easily dismantled);
• significantly reduce the noise level in the room. Effective thermal insulation and sound absorption is ensured by installing slabs of glass and mineral fiber with a supporting film, which rest on the gratings;
• various solutions to the lighting system. In addition to the fact that a room with a Grilyato ceiling can be illuminated using lamps built into the grid cells or modular lamps 600x600, you can also use lamps that are installed in the interceiling space. Thanks to this, you can create original visual effects of shadow and light.

The Grilyato ceiling is an excellent ceiling design solution. The characteristics of this ceiling simultaneously satisfy many requirements: high resistance to aggressive and humid environments, increased fire safety, improved ventilation of the interceiling space, and the possibility of easy dismantling. Scope of its application:

• airports and train stations;
• shopping centers and shops;
• ticket offices and waiting rooms;
• bars, cafes, restaurants;
• halls and corridors.

The Grilyato suspended ceiling (lattice or cellular ceiling) consists of gratings that are assembled from U-shaped profiles (“mother” and “father”). The gratings are installed on supporting guides, the length of which is 600 mm (carrying C 60), 1200 mm (carrying C 120), 1800 mm (carrying C 180). The C 180 support rails are secured to each other using a connecting element. As a result, the mounted structure creates the effect of an open, continuous surface with square cells. The cells come in various sizes: 200x200mm, 150x150mm, 120x120mm, 100x100mm, 86x86mm, 75x75mm, 60x60mm, 50x50mm, 40x40mm. The height of U-shaped profiles can also be different: 50mm or 40mm.
