Ceilector Steel Grid
Ceilector Steel Grid is a 24mm exposed grid
system. Used in conjunction with OWA mineral 1
fibre ceiling tiles the grid and tile solution provides

you with a 30 year warranty.
Suitable for vast commercial applications
including offices, education, retail, hospitals
and showrooms, our grid system has been 2
rigorously tested to Australian Standards, Seismic 4
3
and Fire Certifications.
Our easy to use main runners partner with cross
runners that snap into place with an audible click.

Handling, Maintenance & Safety

Materials should be stored in their packaging, indoors and not exposed to the outside elements. Ceilector Steel Grid
should be handled to prevent distortion and any faulty grid should not be installed but placed aside for review. For ongoing
maintenance, the grid can be cleaned once tiles have been removed. Cleaning should be made with a non-solvent based
commercial cleaner. Our RAL paint grid colours are similar to: White - 9003 and Black 9005. For a full product MSDS
please refer to www.ceilector.com.au
Load Limits
To determine the maximum allowable load limits appropriate for your project and compliant to Australian Standards,
please use these calculations:
STAGE 1 : MAXIMUM LOAD CALCULATIONS
Maximum Load Calculations
Ultimate Limit State G= Weight + Light / Fixtures / Insulation etc. Weight
1.1 Factored Dead Load G= + = kg / m

A
A= x 1.4 Therefore Maximum Load A= kg / m
1.2 Factored Dead Load From 1.1 above A kg / m

A plus +
Factored Service Load
U* x 1.7 = B kg / m Therefore Maximum Load A + B = kg / m
B
if required under AS / NZS 2785 : 2000 * Where U is 3.0 kg/m minimum unless specified otherwise
Clause 3.2.2(b)
Notes:
1. Load calculations1.1 and 1.2 are based on AS/NZS 2785:2000 Clause 3.3.5 (a). Load calculation. 1.2 is based on a minimum Service
Load of 3.0 kg/m as required by the Standard. The contractor is to confirm that this load will not be exceeded, or alter the calculation
accordingly. If Service Load U is NOT a requirement, use calculation 1.1 values only.
2. These tables apply to areas of the building that have no openings the outside, such as doors, windows, ducts etc. In all
other cases the appropriate design loading must be determined by the project structural engineer in accordance with
AS/NZS 2785:2000 Clauses 3.3.5 (b) or (c).
3. The Standard testing and installation for suspension is at 1200mm centres.
4. Heavy lighting or other mechanical service shall be supported on the main tees, included in the dead load 1.1 above, able to be supported
by the selected grid combination, and/or should be independently supported if greater than 10 kg (NZS4219).
5. All point loads shall be fixed under suspension point on Main Tees only and hanger capacity should be checked.
6. Loadings are laboratory tested in accordance with AS/NZS 2785 with a deflection limit of L/360. Maximum allowable system loads take
into account continiuous spans and are applicable for ceilings 2.4 metres or longer. For ceilings shorter than 2.4 metres use a minimum of two
hangers.
7. Seismic considerations for in-plane loads may take precedence in determining the required grid combination. Please contact us for more details.
STAGE 2 : ALTERNATIVE GRID LAYOUTS

From the grid diagrams below, select a ceiling layout and hanger spacing where the: Maximum Load (from Step 1, above) is less than
or equal to the Maximum Allowable Load from the Tables.This will guide you as to the minimum grid combinations to use to fully comply.

Installation Overview
Main Runner
Standard installation: main runners spaced at 1200mm centres. For heavy ceiling panels main runners should be at
600mm centres (refer to Load Limits).
Cross Runner
Cross runners lock into the main runner punchings. An audible click confirms the cross runner is in place. For various
main and cross runners configurations please refer to Load Limits.
Wall Angle
Wall Angle is typically fixed up to 600mm centres (maximum) to walls or bulkheads.
Suspension
Suspension options are:
1. 5mm rod used in conjunction with the Atkar Hook Clip through the pre-punched hole
2. 2.5mm wire or 5mm galvanised rod, used in conjunction with the Atkar suspension clip
Ensure that hangers are not bent and that they are not fixed to, or closer than 150mm to the plenum services
i.e. sprinklers, ducting, pipes.
Warranty
Backed by CSR, Ceilector Steel Grid is warranted for 30 years when used as a system with OWA Ceiling Tiles.
When used alone, Ceilector Steel Grid is warranted for 15 years.
Australian Standards Testing

Ceilector Steel Grid has been rigorously tested and complies to the following standards:
AS/NZS 2785 - Suspended ceilings, design and installation
ASTM C 635 - Standard specification for the manufacture, performance and testing of metal
suspension systems for acoustical tile and lay-in panel ceilings
AS/NZS 3837 - Method of test for heat and smoke release rates for materials and products using an
oxygen consumption calorimeter (cone test)
ASTM E 580 - Standard practice for installation of ceiling suspension system for acoustical tile and
lay-in panels in areas subject to earthquake ground motions
The following standards have been used in manufacturing and testing for compliance with the Australian Building Code:
AS/NZS 1170 - Structural design actions
AS 1170.4 - Earthquake loads (Australia)
AS 2946 - Suspended ceilings, recessed luminaries and air diffusers interface
