Frame™ Ceiling System
Formerly Called Flat Lay In
Formerly known as a Flat Lay-In ceiling, this versatile ceiling system provides a clean, refined appearance while allowing architects and designers to incorporate high-end finishes without complicating installation. The Frame™ ceiling system delivers the simplicity of a traditional flat lay-in ceiling system while elevating interior spaces with the design flexibility and performance of architectural metal panels.
Ideal for interior acoustical ceiling applications, Frame™ metal ceiling panels are fabricated from Ultra High-Performance Aluminum® for durability, precision, and long-term performance. These aluminum metal ceiling panels are easily removable and can hinge downward when required, allowing convenient access to the plenum space above the ceiling system for maintenance and building services. Combining ease of installation with premium architectural finishes, Frame™ flat lay-in ceiling systems provide an efficient and visually striking solution for modern metal ceiling design. See the full system performance, details, options, and downloadable files below.
Frame™ ceiling system is compatible with our Stocked Finish Program since it utilizes 1mm thick sheets.
