What Are Metal Pan Ceilings?

What Are Metal Pan Ceilings? They are a type of suspended ceiling system made from aluminium, steel, or stainless steel. These ceilings use tiles or “pans” that can be installed in either a standard or concealed grid system. Also known as metal ceiling tiles in the construction industry, they provide both a visually striking and functional ceiling design.

Types of Suspended Metal Ceilings

There are three primary types of suspended metal ceilings within the SAS International range:

  1. Clip-In System: Ceiling tiles in this system clip into the ceiling grid, providing a sleek, concealed grid aesthetic.
  2. Lay-In System: The most common type used in standard office buildings. The tiles have flanges that rest on the grid, leaving the grid visible as part of the overall design.
  3. Hook-On System: These tiles attach to a suspended J-bar and offer a highly adaptable solution, often forming the basis for fully bespoke designs.
