PARALINE® Linear Metal Ceiling System
-
Linear metal ceilings for interior or exterior use.With optional perforations and curved components, they create visual impact in exterior soffits, high bay areas, retail stores, and transportation terminals.
The PARALINE Linear Metal ceiling system consists of elegant, 12' linear pans that attach to a specially engineered suspension system to create dynamic ceilings with clean, contemporary planes or gently rolling waves. Its snap-up design offers unlimited access with a minimal plenum depth requirement.
PARALINE I pans feature 3-1/4" wide pans with roll-finished edges. Assembled, the pans provide an open reveal for excellent sound control using acoustical material in the plenum.
PARALINE II panels are 3-1/4" wide with integral flanges that overlap to form a reveal closure appropriate for exterior soffit applications.
PARALINE III panels features bolder 7-1/4" wide pans for larger-scale applications. They have a roll-finished edge that provides the same open reveal as PARALINE I, with similar acoustical control.
The system includes components engineered and tested to achieve two- or three-hour fire rating assemblies, and both the PARALINE I and II pans are wind-load tested up to 120 mph. Air distribution components for the PARALINE ceiling system are designed to integrate with the suspension systems and pans.
The PARALINE ceiling system is compatible with standard lay-in fluorescent ("G" Type), recessed incandescent and HID downlight fixtures. Available perforated pans achieve NRC ratings as high as .95 when overlapped with fiberglass.
Paraline is available with High Recycled Content (HRC). HRC Specialty Ceiling Panels and Trim are classified as containing over fifty percent total recycled content. Total recycled content is based on product composition of post-consumer and pre-consumer (post-industrial) recycled content per FTC guidelines.
