This is the Grilyato ceiling (it is also called cellular, or trellised). What are its advantages and how does it differ from others? What elements and design ideas make it possible to create such an original decorative structure?
Description
The Grilyato ceiling is a suspended structure consisting of the gratings themselves. In this, it differs from other types of ceilings of this type, which in our time there are already a lot.
It greatly expands the possibilities of architects in construction. False ceiling "Grilyato" (raster, open-cell) can be of different colors and consist of elements of different textures.
False Ceiling Installation
The ceiling consists of a large number of gratings. Each of them is created from U-shaped profiles, called “dad” and “mom”. They are made of aluminum and protected against rust. Their height can be 4 or 5 cm. Thickness is 0.4-0.5 mm, so the Grilyato suspended ceiling is quite durable. Lattices are attached to the supporting profiles C60, C120, C180 and C240. Their length is 60, 120, 180, 240 cm, respectively. The last size requires the use of additional connecting elements for installation.

Types of False Ceilings
"Grilyato Standard" is the most common. Consists of the same squares.
The length of the link depends on the room. For high ceilings, a cell from 10x10 cm, a profile with a height of 3 cm, is suitable. For a building with a ceiling height below 5 m, cells are taken less, and the profile height should be more - 4-5 cm.
The Grilyato ceiling is pyramidal
The device of false ceilings of this type allows you to get a surface that creates the effect of volume. It is formed from many pyramids, which makes it seem openwork. The ceiling of this type consists of a profile in the form of the letter V. Colors: white, gold, blue, black.
Jalousie
They are used in places of communications or in narrow rooms. They not only allow you to quickly get to the problem place, but also make the room wider in appearance.
The effect of the blinds is due to the difference in the height of the carrier (5 cm) and the profile (3 cm).
The color scheme is the same as that of the Standard ceiling.
Multilevel
This mesh grillato ceiling is divided into large squares. The difference in levels is obtained due to the different heights of the profiles of different types. The guides have a height of 5 cm, profiles - 3 cm. You can visually enhance the effect of different levels, using profiles of different colors for the ceiling.
The color scheme of this type of ceiling is the same as that of the pyramidal.
With custom cell

Such ceilings emphasize your individual style. There can be many solutions to this type of ceiling.
Ceilings "Grilyato CL15"

As a result, after the installation is complete, the entire ceiling seems to be homogeneous, continuous, unified. Apply it in exhibition halls, boutiques, hotel halls.
"Grillato Cellio Armstrong"

Production
In Italy, automatic production lines for the production of ceilings "Grilyato". They successfully work in many countries of the world.
Installation of the Grilyato ceiling
Installation and installation of ceilings can be ordered from the manufacturer or find a team of specialists who will do this quickly and efficiently.
But you can install the Grilyato ceiling with your own hands. It is necessary to pay attention to such moments:
- The profiles for the ceiling are very thin, so you need to handle them very carefully. This applies to cutting and assembling.
- It is necessary to use the laser level in order to set a strictly horizontal line. If you deviate from this feature or incorrect markup everything will need to be redone. In this case, some components may be damaged, and time will be wasted.
- Divide the ceiling into squares with a side equal to the length of the carrier rail.
- It is better to do their installation parallel to the side in which the remainder after laying off a certain number of segments will be less. Then less material will go to waste.
- The corner is installed and fixed with screws or dowels (if the first ones do not enter the wall) at a distance of less than 1 m.
Installation can be done by a person who has never before been engaged in this kind of activity.
Installation of ceilings is carried out in the following sequence:
- The supporting profile of 1.8 m is connected to the intermediate, for example 1.2 m. Set them to the desired height and fix.
- A guide profile of 60 cm is installed in the middle of the installed intermediate.
- Connect them.
- Get squares with a side length of 60 cm
- Lattices are mounted in the resulting system from profiles.
- Due to the fact that they are trimmed, they are attached tightly to each other.
- Lamps are placed in the crate, fixed with suspensions, 2 for each.
Fixtures
Lamps of various types are mounted on the Grilyato ceiling. Luminescent, LED, Down Light, created on the basis of LED-technology.

Determining the amount of materials
How to find out the amount of materials needed to install the ceiling?
Approximately per square meter you will need: the longest and shortest profile - up to a meter, average - 1.7 m. You need one suspension and a connector. In addition, profiles are needed to create cassettes, which will need approximately 2.7 pieces.
You can calculate the amount of necessary materials using on-line calculators, which can be found on the websites of well-known manufacturers and distributors of these products.
Grilyato ceilings are very popular in many countries. Designers are constantly working to create new types of these beautiful, durable and original products.
