Sub-ceiling, in which the metallic top-layer components are loosely placed on parts of the substructure that are visible/partially concealed or completely concealed from below. This allows quick access to all areas of the false ceiling at any time. There are the following common variants:
- systems in which the top layer components lie flush on the substructure (for a continuous ceiling pattern) or alternatively with a stepped rebate (for an emphasis on the joints and the individual elements, see illustration).
- Self-supporting corridor systems that span freely from wall to wall without ceiling fixing up to the maximum span specified by the manufacturer, e.g. if the quality of an existing raw ceiling does not allow the sub-ceiling to be attached to the raw ceiling in accordance with the approval.
- Systems that meet the requirements for fire resistance as a room-enclosing component.
- Systems to improve room acoustics, e.g. through a small-scale perforation in conjunction with a fleece lamination on the back.
