Stretch Metal
Lay-In/Lay-On
Stretch Metal from Hunter Douglas
is a highly versatile designer material
giving extra visual effects to ceilings.
It is very easy to customise ceilings
by varying the types of mesh, theirarrangement, the lighting andthe colour.

Lay-In / Lay-0nCATILES
Lay-In/Lay-On tiles are designed to beinstalled on conventional T-grid systems(T-profiles widths 15 and 24 mm).
Stretch Metal tiles on T-profiles enhance
the modular design pattern.
By using wider grids or deeper recesses
more distinctive patterns are created.
They are ideal for situations where regular
maintenance or service is required to theinstallations in the ceiling plenum. By
pushing the tile upwards into the plenum
and moving it sideways it is easy to gain
access to the plenum without the use oftools. Before selecting this system careshould be taken that there is enough space
to lift the tiles upwards. Another benefit
is that accessories like light fixtures andairconditioning grills are easily integrated
in the system.

ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE
Using acoustic pads on top of theStretch Metal panels offers exceptional
acoustic performance. The thickness ofthe pads can be chosen depending on
the required acoustical values.
The acoustic absorption value can reach
αw 1 with an acoustical pad of 85 mm.

Material
TRANSPARENCY
The tiles can be made from various
mesh types. This results in different
optical effects if the natural or artificial
light comes from the plenum. It is
important to realise that stretch metal
meshes do have a direction. Dependingon viewing direction the mesh appears
more or less open. This influences lightcoming through the material but also thevisiblity of installations in the plenum.
The physical transparency can also be
used for smoke extraction and sprinkler
operation in case of fire.

COATING
Stretch Metal tiles are all powder coated materials. Durable powder coatings forexterior use are optionally available.
COLOUR RANGE
The standard colour range consists of RAL and NCS colours, including chrome.
Other special colours are available on request.

FIRE BEHAVIOUR
HunterDouglas ® metal ceilings areclassified incombustible, and will
therefore not contribute to fires. Whenceilings need to protect the structuralintegrity of a building, HunterDouglas ®
ceilings offer a wide range of practicalsolutions with regards to fire resistanceand fire stability. Further information isavailable on request.

INSTALLATION
It is necessary for all versions that qualitative suspension systems are used. The systems must be stable, aligned and leveledso that they comply with the requirements of the panels. For information on installation, refer to the applicable assembly
instruction leaflets.

HunterDouglas ® Ceilings - Stretch MetalMesh Types Tiles & Planks
Stretch Metal consists of metal sheet with diamond or square shaped
holes. The stretch metal material is made with a tool that simultaneously
cuts and stretches the sheets. As a result the mesh is created without
any waste of material.
