SAS 205

SAS 205 is a suspended metal ceiling system designed specifically for corridors. It uses a hook-on square edge tile and J-Bar suspension to create a clean, seamless look with concealed grids. This system is ideal for settings where access to the ceiling void is often required, such as hospitals, hotels, and commercial buildings.

SAS 205 is a variant of the SAS 200 series but optimised for narrow or enclosed spaces. Unlike standard lay-in systems, it uses a swing-down hook-on mechanism that allows each tile to pivot and hang in place. This avoids full tile removal and reduces handling, making regular maintenance quicker and safer.

There are no fixed tile sizes for SAS 205. Tiles can be customised up to 3000mm in length and no less than 300mm in width. Progressive Materials can work with architects and contractors to deliver bespoke module sizes that suit your specific corridor layout and design requirements.

The system uses a J-Bar suspension system with perimeter support. The concealed grid offers a sleek appearance, free of visible joins or support bars. The entire ceiling is suspended, with the tile access system integrated directly into the grid.

Tiles in the SAS 205 system swing down and hang securely from one edge. This gives full access to the ceiling void for electrical, HVAC, or other service work. It also protects the tiles from damage during maintenance. Note that this swing-down feature depends on corridor height and width, so it should be considered during design.

Yes. Tiles can be manufactured with service apertures and post-painted to ensure a consistent finish. Integration with lights, sprinklers, and air diffusers can be planned during production, making the system both practical and aesthetically consistent.

SAS 205 is typically paired with a 16mm thick mineral wool pad, with a density of 80kg/m³, backed with foil and finished with a black tissue face. Depending on configuration, the system offers sound absorption between Class A and D, and acoustic insulation performance from 15 to 41dB.

Including tile, suspension and acoustic components, the ceiling weighs approximately 9kg/m². For additional loads over 6kg, independent suspension is recommended.

Tiles can be specified with any standard SAS perforation pattern. Common patterns include round hole arrays or slots, which are compatible with acoustic backing to enhance performance. Bespoke perforations can also be created if your design calls for something unique.

SAS 205 is available in all standard finishes from Progressive Materials. If you’re working on a design-led project, bespoke finishes can be provided on request. This allows full control over colour and texture to match surrounding architecture or branding.

It’s ideal for corridors in hospitals, universities, residential buildings, and commercial offices. Its ability to integrate with other SAS ceiling systems makes it a smart choice for larger projects where different ceiling types are needed in various zones.

When installed with the full system components – including tiles, grid, acoustic backing, and fixings – SAS 205 offers a life expectancy of approximately 25 years. Progressive Materials stands behind the durability and long-term performance of this ceiling solution.
