Sub-grid systemĪ sub-grid system allows you to install suspended ceilings in areas where access to the soffits is limited. These planks are just as demountable as most ceiling tiles, making it easy to access the ceiling cavity. Plank systems are the perfect option for spanning across corridors without the grid going down the length of the corridor. Instead of square tiles, long planks are fitted into the grid. The plank system delivers an attractive cosmetic change to any suspended ceiling. This gives your room a sleek, modern design style, while still giving you full access to the ceiling void where necessary. Semi-concealed gridĪ popular halfway point between exposed and concealed grids, the semi-concealed grid tends to have visible runners in one direction only. Concealed grids come in two varieties: demountable (where you can remove the tiles to access the cavity space) and non-accessible (where you can’t – or, at least, you need special tools to do so). The exact opposite of the exposed grid, concealed suspended ceiling grids create a minimalist effect, with the tiles fitted from below, clicking snugly into place, with the runner behind them in the ceiling cavity. Easy to fit and easy to access the cavity above it. Sat beneath them, you can see each individual tile and the supporting grid in full.

Tiles are fitted from above, leaving the runners exposed in a criss-cross pattern. This is the classic look for a suspended ceiling grid. In this article, we discuss some of the most popular types of suspended ceiling grids and how they differ from one another. There are a variety of grid options available, depending on the aesthetic you want for your ceiling. Suspended ceiling grids are a network of runners arranged overhead, into which your ceiling tiles are fitted. Here at Granmore, we have already discussed the various types and sizes of tiles used for the installation of suspended ceilings, but what about the grids themselves?
