Many have already noticed the original openwork ceilings of some shops, train stations and other buildings. They give originality and sophistication. This is the Grilyato ceiling (it is also called cellular, or lattice). What are its advantages and how does it differ from others? What elements and design ideas make it possible to create such an original decorative structure?
Description
The Grilyato ceiling is a suspended structure consisting of the gratings themselves. This distinguishes it from other types of ceilings of this type, which in our time there are already quite a few.
It greatly expands the possibilities of architects in the construction. Suspended ceiling "Grilyato" (raster, open-cell) can be of different colors and consist of elements of different textures.
False ceiling installation
The ceiling consists of a large number ofgratings. Each of them is created from U-shaped profiles, called "father" and "mother". They are made of aluminum and protected from rust. Their height can be 4 or 5 cm. The thickness is 0.4-0.5 mm, so the Grilyato suspended ceiling is quite durable. Lattices are fastened to the bearing profiles C60, C120, C180 and C240. Their length is 60, 120, 180, 240 cm, respectively. The last dimension requires the use of additional connecting elements for mounting.
Weight - from 2 to 6 g/kg. 30 year warranty.

- Does not lose its appearance and quality under the influence of sunlight.
- The coating layer is reliable and durable.
- Easy.
- Simply removed when dismantled.
- Hides communications under the ceiling.
- They are easy to service by removing the special grates.
- Slabs are attached to the gratings to absorb sound.
- Reduces the height of a building.
- Beautiful. Various forms, design solutions, colors, the ability to decorate the ceiling with the help of lamps allow you to choose a ceiling for a room of any style.
Types of suspended ceilings
"Grillyato Standard" is the most common. Consists of identical squares.
The length of the link depends on the room. For high ceilings, a cell from 10x10 cm is suitable, a profile 3 cm high. For a building with a ceiling height below 5 m, the cells are taken less, and the profile height should be greater - 4-5 cm.
Grilyato pyramidal ceiling
This type of suspended ceiling device allows you to get a surface that creates a three-dimensional effect. It is formed from many pyramids, which makes it seem openwork. The ceiling of this type consists of a profile in the form of the letter V. Colors: white, gold, blue, black.
Blinds
They are used in places where communications exit or in narrow spaces. They not only allow you to quickly get to the problem area, but also make the room look wider.
The blind effect is obtained due to the difference in carrier height (5 cm) and profile (3 cm).
The color scheme is the same as the "Standard" ceiling.
Multilevel
This Grilyato honeycomb suspended ceiling is divided into large squares. The difference in levels is obtained due to different heights of profiles of different types. The guides are 5 cm high, the profiles are 3 cm. You can visually enhance the effect of different levels by using profiles of different colors for the ceiling.
The color scheme of this type of ceiling is the same as that of the pyramidal one.
With non-standard cell
These ceilings are created according to the standard principle, but the "father", "mother" profiles are placed in a certain order, without creating squares.
Such ceilings emphasize your individual style. There can be many solutions for this type of ceiling.
Grilyato CL15 ceilings
This type of structure is mounted from lattices and T-15 systems for hanging. The gratings appear voluminous thanks to the use of U-profiles. The ceiling is reinforced with corners along the perimeter. Lattices are effortlessly mounted in the T-15 system.
As a result, after the installation is completed, the entire ceiling seems to be homogeneous, continuous, a single whole. It is used in showrooms, boutiques, hotel lobbies.
Grilato CellioArmstrong
Cassette ceiling-lattice with a profile width of 15 cm. It is quickly and easily mounted, and also dismantled if necessary. Consists of Cellio slabs that are attached to the Prelude T15 suspension system. The grille can be easily removed without destroying the entire ceiling.
A lattice suspended ceiling is mounted during the restoration of premises with the T15 suspension system installed. It will refresh and decorate the room, it will become a new and original solution.
Production
In Italy, automatic production lines for the production of "Grigliato" ceilings have been created. They work successfully in many countries around the world.
Installation of the Grilyato ceiling
Installation and installation of ceilings can be ordered from the manufacturer or you can find a team of specialists who will do it quickly and efficiently.
But you can install the Grilyato ceiling with your own hands. You need to pay attention to such points:
- Ceiling profiles are very thin, so you need to handle them very carefully. This applies to cutting and assembling.
- You need to use a laser level in order to set a strictly horizontal line. If you deviate from this line or incorrect markup, everything will need to be redone. In this case, some components may be damaged, and time will be lost in vain.
- The ceiling is divided into squares with a side equal to the length of the carrier rail.
- Better montage themparallel to the side, which will have less residue after postponing a certain number of segments. Then less material will go to waste.
- The corner is installed and fixed with screws or dowels (if the first do not enter the wall) at a distance of less than 1 m.
Installation can be done by a person who has never done this kind of activity before.
Installation of ceilings is carried out in the following sequence:
- Carrier profile 1, 8 m is connected to an intermediate one, for example 1, 2 m. Set them to the desired height and fix them.
- In the middle of the installed intermediate, a 60 cm guide profile is installed.
- Connect them.
- Get squares with a side length of 60 cm.
- Grates are mounted into the resulting system of profiles.
- Because they are trimmed, they fit tightly together.
- The lamps are brought into the crate, fixed with suspensions, 2 for each.
Lamps
Lamps of different types are mounted in the ceiling of "Grilyato". Fluorescent, LED, Down Light, based on LED technology.

Determination of the quantity of materials
How do I know the amount of materials needed to install the ceiling?
Approximately per square meter you will need: the longest and shortest profile - up to a meter, the average - 1.7 m. One hanger and a connector are needed. In addition, profiles are needed to create cassettes, which will need approximately 2.7 pieces.
You can calculate the amount of required materials using onlinecalculators that can be found on the websites of well-known manufacturers and distributors of these products.
Grilyato ceilings are very popular in many countries. Designers are constantly working to create new types of these beautiful, durable and original pieces.
