Kingston Open Cell Ceiling

Kingston open cell systems create a clean plenum mask and offer easy access to lighting, ventilation systems and sprinklers. We offer a versatile range of patterns, configurations, and colors that can all be used in combination with our cell frame ceilings. By definition, an open cell ceiling system is one in which a repeating pattern of “cube” shapes appear unbroken by any suspension components so the finished ceiling will look much like a perfect waffle in appearance. In all fairness to other types of ceiling systems, the open cell ceiling is unique and visually interesting. That is only one reason why it is gaining in popularity, why several manufacturers offer such a system, why architects are specifying them, and why you may find yourself having to install one in the not too distant future. So, what should you look for in an open cell system? For starters, look for familiarity. The idea here is to minimize the learning curve and the possibility of errors both on the estimator’s pad and in the field. Choose a system with components that install in a familiar manner, similar to that of standard T-Bar, for example, to simplify the process. The type of metal is another consideration since open cell systems are made from both steel and aluminum. A system produced from steel offers a distinct advantage over one produced from aluminum. Steel is a much more rigid metal than aluminum. Steel is a much more rigid metal than aluminum and as such it is less likely to incur damage in shipping, 
handling, or accidents, particularly in the sensitive areas where components attach. Such damage could lead to locking problems which may be remedied in the field, yet still result in alignment problem further on. Steel is heavy and needs to be electro-galvanized to resist corrosion. Aluminum on the other hand, is much lighter and is inherently rust resistant. Open cell panels are offered in a variety of sixes. By virtue of the “open cell” design, the entire plenum is 100?cessible. If there’s some problem with something in the plenum,  chances are the mechanical trades can easily identify and access problem areas to initiate necessary.
