Installation Systems

• System C Exposed: This system is used with AMF SK (square edge) and VT (recessed edge) tiles. This system is fast and simple to install and offers easy access to the ceiling void.
• System F Free Span Corridor System: This versatile system can incorporate a large range of AMF tiles, which can be demounted for easy access or non-demounted to restrict access.
• System I Bandraster System: System I offers highly versatile design options, the tiles can be adapted and altered to fit with the architecture and style of any building.
