What are the Type of Suspended Grid Ceilings in Sydney
Exposed Grid
Most common type of ceiling is an exposed grid ceiling. Often used in offices, bathrooms,
service rooms or anywhere frequent maintenance checks and replacements above the ceiling have to be carried out. Exposed grid is essentially what it describes, long metal strips called "main runners" spread the length of the room, followed by easy connect shorter metal strips known as "cross tees". Most common layout is 1200mm x 600mm allowing for the standard ceiling tile to lay in. Also allowing easy installation of LED light panels for your Sydney Office.

Suspended Plasterboard Ceilings
These ceiling systems are often used where maintenance of services is hardly required but space must be provided for the installation with minimal framing inside the ceiling cavity. Suspended plasterboard ceiling frames are made up of essentially 4 parts.
- Wall angle, to tie all perimeters of the ceiling securely to the walls for fixing of plasterboard
-Framing body, this consists of furring channels and top cross rails that form a grid that evenly distributes the weight across the ceiling
- Hanging System, depending on how far the ceiling needs to be dropped will determine what hanging system is used. Most common forms are gold clips and hanging rod.
-Plasterboard Sheeting, finally the installation and finishing of plasterboard to achieve the smooth seamless finish you would find in your home.
