Metal slat ceiling

Sub-ceiling in which elongated standing metal top layer components (slats) are attached to a substructure at a distance from each other. Visually, they "filter" the view into the ceiling cavity, especially when looking upwards at an angle, but do not close it. This visually reduces the room height, but practically does not reduce the air volume up to the raw ceiling. Slat ceilings offer a wide range of design possibilities, e.g.:

• Use of slats of the same or different heights; thus rhythm of the height and the ceiling soffit possible.
• Smooth or perforated metal surface or expanded metal

In some metallic louvered ceiling systems, a certain number of slats can be pushed back laterally for quick access to the ceiling cavity. Sprinkler systems can be placed inconspicuously inside or above the top layer level. In combination with sound-absorbing material, slat ceilings can also be used to improve room acoustics. Slat ceilings are not synonymous with so-called baffles, which are used as individually suspended vertical panels, especially to improve room acoustics.
