Essential Parts for T-Bar Ceiling Installation and Orbital Wall Systems: A Detailed Overview

Cross Tees

After that, you must insert your cross tees into your main runners. To do so, insert them into the pre-punched holes on the main tee bars. This will form secure gaps for your ceiling tiles.

Cross tees are secondary components that intersect with the main runners, forming the grid pattern of the ceiling system. These tees are available in various lengths to accommodate different ceiling dimensions. 

These cross tees are important in supporting and securing the ceiling panels. They provide stability and uniformity to the ceiling grid. Furthermore, cross tees allow for easy removal and replacement of individual ceiling panels for maintenance or utility access.

Ceiling Panels

Ceiling panels, also known as ceiling tiles, are the visible surface of the ceiling system. These panels are available in various materials, sizes, and designs to suit various aesthetic preferences and functional requirements. Ceiling panels fit into the T-Bar grid and can be easily removed or replaced.

These panels enhance the acoustic and thermal insulation of a space. They offer options for customizing the appearance of the ceiling with different textures, colours, and patterns.

T-Bar Ceiling Grid Types

You will require guidance in choosing the best system for your needs if you install a suspended ceiling grid from scratch. Some of the most prevalent ceiling grid systems are as follows:

Ceiling Grid 24mm (Exposed Ceiling Grid)

One of the most common grid sizes is 24mm. It works with some of our most popular ceiling panels, such as square and tegular edge tiles. Because the gridwork is visible after the tiles are set, this ceiling grid is known as an exposed one.

Ceiling Grid 15mm (Exposed and Concealed / Semi-Concealed)

A 15mm grid, on the other hand, has a small framework and is compatible with microlook edge ceiling tiles. Because the tiles have rebated edges, the panels sit somewhat below the gridwork. Because of this suspended ceiling element, your grid will not be seen from below. 15mm ceiling grids work with square edge ceiling tiles as well. 

Wall Systems

For wall systems, here are some components needed to prioritize.

Wall Tracks

Wall tracks are the backbone of an orbital wall system. These metal tracks are mounted horizontally along the wall, providing support and stability for the various components of the system. Wall tracks can be secured directly to the wall or suspended from the ceiling. It can depend on the specific application.

Wall tracks allow for flexible and adjustable placement of wall system components.

They offer a durable and reliable framework for supporting various wall-mounted elements.

Mounting Brackets

Mounting brackets are attached to the wall tracks and serve as the connection points for shelves, cabinets, and other wall-mounted fixtures. These brackets are designed to be easily adjustable, allowing for convenient repositioning or removing the wall-mounted components.

These brackets provide secure support for wall-mounted elements, ensuring stability and durability.

They offer flexibility in arranging and rearranging the components of the orbital wall system.

Accessories and Shelves

Orbital wall systems often include accessories and shelves to maximize storage and display capabilities. These can include hooks, bins, hanging rails, and adjustable shelves. These components can be easily attached or detached from the mounting brackets, offering versatility in organizing the space.

Accessories and shelves enhance the functionality of the orbital wall system by providing storage solutions and display options. They allow for efficient space utilization and customization to meet specific needs.
