Abstract
A suspended ceiling system (1) comprising a plurality of ceiling tiles and a grid (100) of profiles (40) for supporting the plurality of ceiling tiles, the grid (100) of profiles (40) comprising at least a first and a second profile (40) configured to be interconnected along a longitudinal axis, the first and second profile (40) each comprising two laterally extending flanges (43) and an upstanding web (44) provided with a bulb (41) at its free end, wherein each of the first and second profile (40) has a curved extension and is configured to be installed such that it, in an installed and unloaded condition, bulges in an upward direction.
Claims13
A suspended ceiling system comprising:
- a plurality of ceiling tiles;
- and
- a grid of profiles for supporting the plurality of ceiling tiles, the grid of profiles including at least a first profile and a second profile configured to be interconnected along a longitudinal axis, the first and second profiles each comprising two laterally extending flanges and an upstanding web provided with a bulb at a free end of the upstanding web,
- wherein each of the first and second profiles has a curved extension and is configured to be installed such that each of the first and second profiles, in an installed and unloaded condition, bulges in an upward direction,
- wherein the suspended ceiling system further comprises a connection element arranged for mounting over a portion of the bulbs of the first and second profiles at a joint between the first and second profiles, and
- wherein a suspension element is connectable to the connection element for suspension of the first and second profiles in an interconnected state.
A method for installing a suspended ceiling system comprising a plurality of ceiling tiles and a grid of profiles for supporting the plurality of ceiling tiles, the method comprising:
- providing a first profile and a second profile each comprising two laterally extending flanges and an upstanding web provided with a bulb at a free end of the upstanding web, wherein each of the first and second profiles has a curved extension,
- interconnecting the first and second profiles such that they extend along a longitudinal axis, said interconnecting comprising mounting of a connection element over a portion of the bulbs at a joint between the first and second profiles, and
- suspending the first and second profiles by connecting a suspension element to the connection element such that the interconnected first and second profiles, in an unloaded condition, each bulges in an upward direction.
