DUO® Exposed Grid Ceiling System

DUO® Exposed Ceiling Grid System is a practical, convenient ceiling system. It has a complete range of main sections and complementary parts so that you can adapt the modules to suit your design needs.

The smart design of DUO® Exposed Ceiling Grid System components means they are easily assembled on site, and can be adjusted or replaced without damage. All components have been designed and tested by our Engineers to meet the requirements of suspended ceiling codes in both Australia and New Zealand.

DUO® Exposed Ceiling Grid System consists of 24mm wide steel Main and Cross-tees, to support acoustic and plasterboard ceiling tiles in non-fire rated environments. The Cross Tees will positively lock into each other through the Main Tee with a gentle push, creating a sturdy structure.

Features

• Available in pre-finished steel
• Engineered for fast assembly on site
• Double rows of embossed stitching on tees to increase torsional strength
• Able to be removed/reinstalled without damage
• Main tee slots every 100mm for Cross Tees gives extra layout flexibility
• Unique “Zipper” box, better protects and stores products

Suitable for

• Steel Ceiling Grid Systems
• Aluminium Ceiling Grid Systems
• Drop-in Configurations
• One-way semi-concealed configurations
• Seismic designs
• Bulkhead designs
• Lineal diffusers

Seismic Solutions

Our DUO^® Seismic Ceiling System uses DUO1 Main Tee and Cross Tees as the main grid components, along with complementary accessories.  DUO^® Seismic Ceiling System has the options of perimeter fixing or plenum bracing.

For large open areas, the system is restrained by evenly distributed braces in the plenum space, with sliding connections to all perimeters. Perimeter restraint is achieved using our new DUO^® Seismic Sliding Clip which allows the main grid components to either be rigidly connected or slide within the clip.
